Description
Paris: Shakespeare and Company, 1922. First edition. Very Good +. One of 750 copies on handmade paper, from the wider first edition limitation of 1,000 copies. Based on Sylvia Beach's records, it has been asserted that, out of the three issues of the first edition, this one was sent out first. This copy marked as number 482. Modern blue half morocco gilt over marbled boards, bookplate of Giles Alexander Esme Gordon to front pastedown. Front free endpaper with some marginal restoration, a few small unrestored closed tears to preliminary leaves, a little occasional foxing, a few gatherings a little roughly opened. Housed in a custom morocco-backed clamshell case. A Very Good+ copy. Arguably the key text of the Modernist movement. "Joyce, not to mince words, is Ireland's Shakespeare, its Goethe, its Racine, its Tolstoy" (John Sutherland). The book also proved to be a major test case for laws of freedom of expression. "Forced underground by censors, this was a cryptoclassic already before it was read, a subversive colossus" (Sherry). Provenance: Giles Gordon was a literary agent and writer, working for publishers Secker & Warburg and Gollancz (the latter as Editorial Director) before representing writers such as Peter Ackroyd and Vikram Seth. Slocum and Cahoon A17. (7586). Very Good +.

Description
1927. CHERNIKHOV, Y.G. Iskusstvo nachertania [The Art of Graphic Representation]. 77, [3] pp., with black & white illustration throughout. 8vo, 170 x 130 mm, bound in publisher's white wrappers, in a new green cloth folding box. [Leningrad]: Knigoizdate'stvo Akademii khudozhetsv, [1927]. First edition of Yakov Chernikhov's extremely rare first book. Chernikhov (1889-1951) was an artistic visionary, best known for his elaborate architectural fantasies in his later works. The present book is an instructional for neophyte art students encouraging them to depict beauty and movement through abstract representations. Although a considerably more humble publication than his subsequent books, its fragile format has rendered it quite scarce. Neat ink ownership inscription on the cover and title page dated 1930. Spine a little worn, a near fine copy. Not listed on OCLC.

Description
Venice: Apud Nicolaum Moretum, 1586. WITH MORE THAN 60 WOODCUT ILLUSTRATIONS. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in early stiff parchment (soiled, some minor worming, hinges starting, upper board bowed. A very good copy, title lightly soiled, scattered light damp-staining, minor soiling, and marginal foxing in the first 7 gatherings (the first 4 books), two leaves in gathering A lightly browned, small abrasion to image on leaf E7, short worm-trail on the last two index leaves affecting a few words, another damp-stain to the final gathering, a few stray blemishes. Aside from those points, the text is crisp and bright. Illustrated with more than 60 woodcut illustrations. A late 16th c. illustrated edition, using earlier woodcuts, of Ovid's "Metamorphoses". The book opens with a letter (dated 1513) by the editor Raffaele Regio (1450-1520) and features commentaries by 15th and early 16th c. humanist writers. The title page announces that Regio's edition has been corrected for this printing. "The fundamental characteristic of the world described by the 'Metamorphoses' is its ambiguous and deceptive nature, the uncertainty of the boundaries between reality and appearance, between the concreteness of things and the inconstancy of their appearances. The characters of the poem behave as if lost in this insidious universe, which is governed by change and error; disguises, shadows, reflections, echoes, and fugitive semblances are the snares in the midst of which the humans move about, victims of the play of fate or the whim of the gods. Their uncertain action and the natural human disposition to err are the object of the poet's regard, now touched, now amused; they are the spectacle that the poem represents."(Conte).

Description
29/04/1968. Typed Letter Signed, Hollywood, California, April 29, 1968, to pianist Eugene Istomin. “If that good fortune should befall us (of having Senator McCarthy in the White House) I promise to write the trio. Please give my non-political best wishes to Isaac Stern (I hope he is in better health now), Leonard Rose, and take the same for yourself.” Particularly interesting because Eugene George Istomin formed the Istomin-Stern-Rose Trio with Isaac Stern and Leonard Rose, and made many recordings, particularly of music by Beethoven, Brahms and Schubert. He won a Grammy Award in 1970 with the Istomin-Stern-Rose Trio for their recordings of Beethoven.

Description
1988. Armstrong Jr., Toni L. (ed.). Hot Wire: The Journal of Women's Music and Culture (1988-1994) documents lesbian feminist cultural production through coverage of music, performance, publishing, and community organizing during the late twentieth century. Produced in Chicago, the periodical established a platform for lesbian artists, activists, and writers at a time when independent feminist media sustained networks of communication outside mainstream publishing. The journal includes interviews, essays, and reports on women's music festivals, lesbian performance, and feminist enterprises, supporting research into LGBTQ history, women's liberation, and the development of alternative media infrastructures. Hot Wire: The Journal of Women's Music and Culture. Chicago: Hot Wire, 1988-1994. Archive of nine issues. Issues included are: [1] Volume 4, Number 2 (March 1988), featuring Robin Tyler and Cheryl Miller's "Lesbians of Color: Celebrating Common Bonds and Differences," with coverage of the 1987 March on Washington and Jorjet Harper's "Transistor Sisters"; [2] Volume 6, Number 2 (May 1990), including interviews with Heather Bishop and Laura Post and a profile of Barbara Smith and Kitchen Table Women of Color Press; [3] Volume 6, Number 3 (September 1990), with Holly Near, Michelle Shocked, and Rosetta Reitz alongside festival reports; [4] Volume 7, Number 3 (September 1991), featuring Karen Williams, Indigo Girls, and contributions by Alison Bechdel; [5] Volume 8, Number 1 (January 1992), including Margie Adam, Lisa Dietrich, and coverage of Michigan Womyn's Music Festival; [6] Volume 8, Number 2 (May 1992), focusing on women and humor with Ronnie Gilbert and Alison Bechdel; [7] Volume 8, Number 3 (September 1992), featuring Jamie Anderson, Cheryl Miller on Black lesbian filmmakers, and reports on Gulf Coast Women's Festival and OutWrite '92; [8] Volume 9, Number 2 (May 1993), including Laura Love and Seriah Carol on music and identity and retrospective protest music coverage; [9] Volume 10, Number 3 (September 1994), final issue, with Suzanne Westenhoefer and a retrospective on the publication's contributors. The issues include interviews, essays, reader correspondence, and festival documentation, with recurring sections such as "Soapbox" letters and artist features. Published during a period when lesbian feminist media operated through independent print networks, Hot Wire documented the growth and challenges of women's music and cultural institutions across the United States. The inclusion of performers, writers, and organizers reflects the interconnected nature of artistic production and activism, while coverage of festivals and presses demonstrates the infrastructure supporting lesbian cultural expression. The final issue addresses the decline of some of these institutions in the 1990s, marking a shift in funding and community organization. Minor edge wear and rubbing to covers with occasional sticker residue and light pencil marks; interiors clean and unmarked; overall very good to near fine condition. This archive provides sustained documentation of lesbian feminist publishing and the women's music movement in late twentieth century America.
