Description: Göttingen: Steidl, 2010. Fine in printed wrappers; minor rubbing to the shell-book. Prints also fine.. Special Edition. Quarto. Number 19 of 300 unique copies of Alec Soth's Broken Manual; "an underground instruction manual for those looking to escape their lives," documenting monks, survivalists, hermits, and runaways. In keeping with this clandestine theme, each of the Special Edition copies were housed/hidden in their own unique "shell-books;" in this case, a hollowed-out copy of Asa Briggs' The Nineteenth Century (Thames and Hudson, 1970). SIGNED and numbered by Soth to the library card sleeve affixed to bottom of the shell's tray, which has been lined with a sheet from an unidentified turn-of-the-century German serial (January 1900). The work has also been signed by Soth to rear wrapper, along with Little Brown Mushroom stamp. Accompanied by two effaced photographic prints; one self-portrait of Soth (8 x 10 in.), SIGNED and numbered to verso, and a a color print (sometimes mistaken as an original photograph) of a family scene, with the father's face aggressively scratched out. The latter laid into a copy of Soth's Liberation Billfold Manifest.

Rare first complete Italian edition of the second version of the opera. Hopkinson 56B(a). Chusid p. 171. "After the performances of Jérusalem at the Opéra in 1847 Verdi had intended to produce an entirely new opera for the first theatre of Paris, but the revolutions of 1848 caused the plan to be shelved. He renewed negotiations with the Opéra, however, in 1852, and a contract was drawn up for a full-scale French grand opera in five acts, with a libretto by Eugène Scribe, the acknowledged poetic master of the genre. After various subjects had been proposed, poet and composer eventually agreed to use a revised version of an existing libretto, Le duc d'Albe, written by Scribe and Charles Duveyrier for Halévy (who did not use it) and partly set to music by Donizetti in 1839. Verdi spent most of 1854 working at the score, making a reluctant Scribe undertake some important revisions and complaining about the sheer length demanded by audiences at the Opéra. The première, which included Marc Bonnehée (Montfort), Louis Guéymard (Henri), Louis-Henri Obin (Jean Procida) and Sophie Cruvelli (Hélène), was well received, even by such severe critics as Berlioz, but the work failed to enter the standard repertory of the Opéra. Its revolutionary subject caused difficulties with the Italian censors and it was first performed in Italian in a bowdlerized version translated by Eugenio Caimi and entitled Giovanna de Guzman. Later performances as I vespri siciliani retained most aspects of Caimi's translation and it is almost invariably in this Italian version that the opera is encountered today."

Title: [Photo Album]: WAVES and Post World War II
Seller: Between the Covers- Rare Books, Inc. ABAA (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: New York, California, North Dakota, 1947. Hardcover. Good. Oblong quarto measuring 13" x 10.5". String-tied brown leatherette album with stamped decorations. Contains 392 gelatin silver photographs measuring between 2" x 3" and 8" x 10" with some captions on the verso. Good only album with detached but present front board and some removed images with near fine contents. A photo album kept by a New York woman serving with the Navy WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) during the end of World War II in the Bay Area. The woman is unnamed but many of the images feature captions on the verso. A large photograph begins the album and shows a group of WAVES during a regimental review at Hunter College in New York. Two other photographs show a group of WAVES singing in a choir during Navy Day 1945. Following this the album doesn’t go in chronological order and jumps between the woman’s war years and home life just after including a camping trip at Riverview Ranch, beach trips, and a Lake Tahoe vacation. WAVES and fellow Navy men are seen during their off hours in uniform posed in a city’s downtown and laughing in a field. One section shows a group of women at an official Navy dinner. The compiler is seen visiting Hollywood in 1946 when on leave from her post in San Francisco. She poses in front of NBC, visits Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, and Earl Carroll Theatre. While in the Bay Area the cadets spend their free time in Balboa Park, Chinatown, and sightseeing on the ferry. Additional military imagery feature WAVES and other enlisted men down a main street, portrait photographs, and a dinner at the Monaco Theatre Restaurant in San Francisco. Another section from her post-war life shows a mining operation in North Dakota in the fall of 1946. Towards the end of the album, the compiler and friends attend another enlisted woman’s wedding. A nice collection of photographs following a young woman’s service with the Navy during World War II and her life after the war.

Title: THE IMPORTANCE OF RELIGION IN THE CIVIL RULER, CONSIDERED. A SERMON, PREACHED BEFORE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT, AT HARTFORD, ON THE DAY OF THE ANNIVERSARY ELECTION, MAY 14TH, 1778. BY...PASTOR OF THE FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST IN NEW-HAVEN
Author: Whittelsey, Chauncey
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: New Haven: Thomas and Samuel Green, 1778. 23, [1 blank] pp, with the half title [which is spotted at the blank lower forecorner]. Stitched and disbound, lightly toned, Very Good. Whittelsey reflects on "the present very critical situation of affairs...The hand of God has been very conspicuous" in aiding "the now United Independent American States," formerly "thirteen disconnected, and many of them distant provinces...When we consider the weak, defenceless and unprepared state of the country when hostilities were first commenced, and in what an unexpected manner, and how quick, a supply of military forces was obtained; when we consider the mighty force that has come against us, both by sea and land, and the success that has attended our young troops, and even our militia (reckoned by the enemy but a feeble folk), who can refrain his astonishment." Deploring the "want of wisdom, of human policy in the famous Politicians of the British court," he sees "that a new Empire, under the providence of God, is now rising up, in this western world." FIRST EDITION. Evans 16170. Trumbull 1651. Not in Gephart.

Title: QUEEN SUMMER: OR THE TOURNEY OF THE LILY & THE ROSE
Author: Crane, Walter
Seller: Green Gate Farm Antiquarian Books (United States)
Description: London, Paris & Melbourne: Cassell & Co: Ltd., 1891. A slim quarto bound in original cream colored cloth over pictorial paper covered boards, 40 pages, plus six page publisher's catalogue bound in at the back. Each page is illustrated in delicate colors by Walter Crane, printed on one side only on French fold sheets. These fragile books, many of which were intended to be parted and used in decorative screens and friezes, are usually found in compromised condition, including heavy soiling and foxing. This copy has not wholly escaped the troubles of its companions, with general overall soiling to both covers and spine as well as some wear to the extremities, particularly the corners. The lime green, terra cotta and cream cover designs are in satisfactory condition and the contents are exceptionally clean and bright, totally free from foxing or stains. The salmon colored patterned endleaves are also bright, with the charming bookplate of Birmingham School artist H. Isabel Adams affixed to the front pastedown. A very pleasing association copy of a beautiful book from one of the leaders of the British Arts and Crafts movement.
