Title: Siegfried's Journey 1916-1920
Author: SASSOON, Siegfried
Seller: James S. Jaffe Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Jacket lightly worn, otherwise a fine copy
Description: London: Faber, (1945). First edition. Presentation copy, inscribed on the half-title page to "Dorothy Wallis, with all good wishes from Siegfried Sassoon. February 1946." Dorothy Wallis was a young Australian admirer of Sassoon, who began corresponding with him, and sending fruit cakes, chocolate and other delicacies, in 1945. Sassoon referred to her as "that angelic young woman who has been sending me parcels of food for the last two years." When Wallis came to England in 1951, Sassoon invited her to visit him at Heytesbury. Jane Moorcroft Wilson mentions that he was "somewhat hesitant" and "feared as well as wanted a further involvement." Wilson describes the affair: "When she eventually visited . . . (Sassoon) insisted that she stay a whole week, ‘long enough' she told Glen, ‘to decide that he wanted (her) to remain in his life.' Weekends followed . . . Once (Wallis's) mother returned to Australia in August 1952, however, the relationship was resumed with renewed intensity. Sassoon made it quite clear to Dorothy that he wanted her to come live with him, though not until 1954, when George would be eighteen. He was anxious that neither George nor Hester should know of Dorothy. . . . Edmund and Claire Blunden were the only ones to know of the relationship, since it was Dorothy who had brought about a reconciliation with Sassoon. . . . Sassoon's poetry of that period offers strong proof of a renewed hope in life. . . . Claire Blunden believed that the relationship had a physical side to it, though other friends questioned this." Eventually the relationship collapsed owing to a conflict between Wallis and Sassoon's housekeeper, Miss Kathleen Benn. - Wilson, Siegfried Sassoon. The Journey from the Trenches. (London): Duckworth, (2003), Volume 2, pp. 373- 375. Jacket lightly worn, otherwise a fine copy. 8vo, frontispiece portrait of Sassoon, title page illu. by Reynolds Stone, original cloth, dust jacket. Jacket lightly worn, otherwise a fine copy.

Title: Rocky Mountain JIHO [Run of 42 issues]
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Denver, Colorado: [Sadako Tsubokawa (Jan-Mar)]/[Eiji Makino (Mar-Nov)]/[Eiichi and Yoriko Imada (Nov-Dec)], 1978. Very good. 17” x 10 7/8”. Newsprint. Pp. 4. Publication sequence: Vol. 16, Nos. 37-50 (Jan 11 – Apr 19 1978); Vol. 17, Nos. 1-16 (Apr 26 – Aug 30 1978), 18-20 (Sep 20 – Oct 11 1978), 22-31 (Oct 18 – Dec 20 1978). Generally very good or better: folded horizontally at center, presumably as issued; postal markings and stamps of former ownership to bottom corner of each issue; one with a tiny closed tear not affecting any content; a few with faint creases or light edge wear; lightly toned. This is a large group of issues of a rare weekly newspaper that served the Japanese American community of Denver for over 40 years, the Rocky Mountain JIHO. Printed in both English and Japanese, JIHO covered immigration concerns as well as social and community events, and ran a plethora of illustrated ads for local nikkei-owned businesses. Japanese immigration to Denver began in the 1880s, saw an influx of railroad and mine workers from 1903 to 1908, and exploded in the 1940s with those fleeing West Coast incarceration; for a time the city was even considered the “unofficial Japanese capital of the United States.” The population expanded again after World War II with the closure of the Camp Amache incarceration center near Granada, Colorado. Centered in the Larimer Street district (also known as Nihonmachi, or Japantown), banned from opening businesses elsewhere, emigres formed a tight-knit community – living, working and worshiping in close proximity. While several newspapers had served the community before the war, by the 1970s there was only this one. JIHO was founded in 1962 by Yozan and Sadako Tsubokawa; Yozan was editor/journalist, his wife Sadako managed local advertising and their daughters helped with the weekly printing and distribution. When Yozan died in 1970, Sadako took over ownership. She kept the paper running until March 1978, when she sold it to Eiji Makino, a Tokyo magazine publisher who had moved to Denver in 1976. When he fell ill just eight months later JIHO made it into the hands of another immigrant couple, Eiichi and Yoriko Imada. Despite having no prior experience in publishing, the Imadas ran the paper from November 1978 to February 2007. The present collection comprises a near-complete run of the paper's 1978 issues, and notably documents both takeovers of ownership. Though just 42 issues are present, we note a few numbering inconsistencies, and it's likely that the run lacks fewer than three issues, if any at all. The layout and general content remain unchanged throughout the year, despite new editorship; each issue has news and community updates in English on the front page and in Japanese on the other three, with plenty of photographic images and illustrated ads in both languages throughout. JIHO is chock-full of calendars and coverage of community events, along with regular updates on immigration policies. We read of “Songfests” at the Denver Buddhist Temple, allocations for a Japanese “niwa” at the Denver Botanic Gardens, the “16th Annual Simpson Church Nisei Bowling Tournament” and “A Request to Area Nikkei” from the “Mile Hi JACL Chapter” for book suggestions for the “Japanese section” at the University of Colorado library. There was also occasional national and international news, reporting on a “Nikkei Church with a Mission in Big Town, U.S.A.” (New York City), and the “double burden” on “temporarily displaced” children of Japanese nationals attending both public and Nihongo Gakko Japanese schools in Belgium. JIHO frequently lauded the efforts of area nikkei, such as Susumu Karaki, director of Colorado State University's Solar Energy Applications Laboratory, and Rick Takahashi, who coached “cerebral palsy and amputee students” for the National Handicapped Ski Races at Winter Park. Cathy Morimoto was “said to be the first woman from the U.S. assigned to work” at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, young Joanne Nukaya led a fundraising project for the International Student Exchange Program, and two residents attended the World Buddhist Women's Convention in São Paolo, held concurrently to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Japanese immigration to Brazil. Regular columns covered the “Teen Scene” as well as local, school, state and national sports. Blurbs and great photographic images revealed parties, awards ceremonies, meetings of JACL chapters and elders' groups, theater and musical events, exhibits of Japanese art, locals' travel adventures, weddings, graduations, memorial services and much more. There were also dozens of illustrated advertisements for restaurants, markets, florists, art and antiques galleries, insurance agents, banks and martial arts studios, owned and operated by those of Japanese descent. A few issues ran want ads and a few promoted an “Equal Housing Opportunity” in homes for sale acquired by the Veterans Administration. Interestingly, these issues show postal and former ownership markings of the Pacific Asian Coalition of San Jose, California (PAC). Now part of the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations, per a 1978 report, PAC was “the Asian and Pacific American coalition for mental health and other human services, the only one of its kind with a national scope.” A rare and revelatory run documenting Japanese Americans in Colorado. OCLC shows only limited holdings of physical and microfilm issues at three Colorado institutions, and none have these issues.
