Description
No place, 2015. Original illustration for Deep Dark Fears, Fran Krause's popular crowd-sourced series of comics: "I try not to pick my nose while driving. / I worry that I'd get into a crash, / and I'd fatally poke my brain, / and everyone would know how I died." Animator and cartoonist Krause first depicted his own fears as a webcomic on his 2011 Tumblr page. Eventually, readers began submitting their own fears, from embarrassing death scenarios to moments of existential dread, which Krause collected into a 2015 book and a 2017 sequel, The Creeps. A fine example. Watercolor and ink on paper, measuring 12 x 9 inches (sheet size). Signed and dated 5-11-2015 in ink; captioned "Deep Dark Fears #178" and signed again in pencil to lower right margin.

Description
Scarce illustrated poem about playing golf with the devil – inscribed by the author Octavo, 9x6¾ inches. x, 35pp.+plates. Full page illustrations by A. Islay Bannerman. Original dark green cloth with gilt title, borders, and vignette. All edges gilt, coated endpapers. Bookplate. Inner front hinge cracked, inner rear hinge starting, corners just showing, minor soiling and slight bend to front cover. Overall, a very good copy. Third edition. Presentation inscription, signed by the author "To D. Moir with J.E.T's kind regards". Scarce, thus. This long poem in doggerel rhyme, about a game of golf between "The Skipper" and the Devil (Deil), was originally published in 1893. It was privately printed by the author for distribution among his friends, and was under the pseudonym Violet Flint. It was met with such enthusiasm that it was published again the following year and sold publicly. This third edition was printed in 1897, and includes 8 whimsical, full-page illustrations not found in the previous editions. This edition was printed in at least three other bindings, (white cloth, and blue or red printed wrappers); this binding of dark green cloth appears to be less common.

Description
Mexico City: Herrero Hermanos, Sucs, 1943. Novena Edicion. Pictorial Boards. Very Good+. Novena Edicion. Pictorial Boards. Oracle or The Book of Destinies, the facsimile of which was the exclusive property of the Emperor Napoleon I, translated for the first time into Spanish from an ancient Egyptian manuscript found in 1801 by Mr. Sonnini in one of the royal tombs of Upper Egypt, near Mount Libyan. Charles Nicolas Sigisbert Sonnini de Manoncourt (1751-1812), was a French nobleman and naturalist who travelled to Egypt and stayed to study "antiquities." A classic example of divination pulp. This is not a North American divination book, but rather a comprehensive summary of astrology from a Western perspective translated into Spanish with dream analysis interpretation and divinatory features. A great example with front and back boards in color featuring a wizard and astrological symbols. Light shelf/edgewear, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Color pictorial printed boards. Small 8vo. 221pp. Illus. (b/w, foldout chart). In Spanish. Front and back boards feature a wizard and astrological symbols.

New York: Soho News, 1981. Original poster for a performance by Steve Reich and Musicians, Philip Glass, Sun Ra, John Ashbery, Paul Jacobs, and others on May 27, 1981. An important moment for modern classical music. This concert coincided with the unveiling of a new music programming policy at New York's WNYC, at that time the "broadest commitment to modern music made to date by any classical music station in the country." The performance brought together Reich and Glass, but also avant-garde jazz composer Sun Ra, poet Ashbery, choreographer Lar Lubovitch, and percussionist/sound designer David Van Tieghem. 11 x 17 inches. Near Fine with some age-toning and minor wear at the edges.

Description
New York: The John Day Company. Very Good+. (c.1940). 3rd impression. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, light wear to extremities, a teensy bit of fraying at the base of the spine]. (B&W photographs, endpaper maps) INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the half-title page: "with / Best Wishes to / John, E J Waddell / From / [Eskimo characters] / Anauta"; with additional inscription in the same hand: "with the compliments of your friend / Will J. McEwen," with a Marion IN address (in a very different hand) added. [See second scanned image with this listing.] Per Wikipedia, the subject of this book "was an Arctic author, memoirist and lecturer [who] is best known for [this book], which may be the first book-length autobiography of an Inuk." Born on Baffin Island circa 1890, she moved around a bit before settling in Indianapolis around 1920; with the help of a newspaper cartoonist, she began to hit the lecture circuit in 1929, where she was billed as "the only Eskimo woman on the American platform." Of this book, a collaboration with children's author Washburne, Wikipedia writes that "the story was certainly embellished for a white audience, with Blackmore claiming to have been adopted and rasied by an Inuk woman." The book contains a page presenting the Baffin Island Eskimo alphabet, and a 3-page glossary of Eskimo words. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that signed copies of this book are highly uncommon. (Please excuse the wavy lines in the scanned image of the book's cover; this is a function of my scanner, and are NOT present on the book itself.) Signed by Biographee .
