Very good plus.
Description
Chicago: Reilly & Britton, 1912. Very good plus.. First edition thus, a re-issue of the Oz creator's JUVENILE SPEAKER (1910) under a different title, a collection of short pieces that Baum believed his best, including stories and verses from Oz. In the new introduction to this edition, Baum writes that he "believes this book contains some of the best stories and verses he has written." He also provides introductions for stories that originally formed parts of complete books. In addition to some Oz appearances, it includes "Prince Marvel," a playlet for children based on THE ENCHANTED ISLAND OF YEW. A poor seller and poorly produced, nice copies are rare on the marketplace today. 9'' x 6.75''. Original brown cloth spine, paper pictorial boards. Illustrated in black and white by John R. Neill and Enright. With Baum's 1912 "word of introduction" (Bienvenue's Variant B, priority undetermined). 196 pages. Subtle reinforcement to corners, with a few spots and stains here and there, top edge dusty. Hinges firm.

Wear to both photograph and mount, overall very good to excellent.
Description
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1860. Carte de visite measuring 2 ¼ by 3 ½ inches on heavy cardstock. Wear to both photograph and mount, overall very good to excellent.. Though Dadaists are frequently credited with the invention of photomontage, techniques involving combining multiple photographs into a single composite image have been around since at least the mid-Victorian era.[1] These could be made by combining negatives, or by combining prints and then re-photographing the result so that it looked seamless. Offered here is an example of early composite imagery published by F. L. Moore of Philadelphia, consisting of portraits of women numbered 1–100. It seems to be a reproduction by Moore of an 1860s “theatrical portrait gallery” of actresses’ portraits produced by C. D. Fredericks & Co. of New York City; note that Moore is identified verso as an “Importer & Publisher of Cartes de Visite, &c.,” not a photographer. An interesting early example of photomanipulation.

Very Good+ in Very Good dj
Description
New York: Farrar, Straus and Young. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1953. First Edition. Hardcover. [minor wear at ends of spine, pages age-toned but not severely, vintage bookplate on front pastedown; the jacket is modestly edgeworn, slightly faded at the spine, a little scuffed on the front panel, with a tiny closed tear and some associated creasing at the bottom of the rear panelDETAILS NEEDED; generic bookplate of Susanna Lloyd on front pastedown (cartoon strip reproductions) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep: "To HOPPY, SUSIE and / PEGGY LLOYD / from / GRATEFUL and / DELIGHTED AL / CAPP." The second hardcover book about the denizens of Dogpatch, USA (the first had been "The Life and Times of the Shmoo," published in 1948, unless you count a handful of Big/Better Little Books that had been issued in the late 1930s/early 1940s). Capp's "Li'l Abner" comic strip, introduced in 1934, had by the late 1940s become a genuine cultural phenomenon -- whIch accounts for the fact that not one but two world-famous luminaries were enlisted to write the Introduction and Foreword, respectively, for this little volume: John Steinbeck and Charles Chaplin. (Steinbeck: "I get interviewed by lean and hungry Yurrpeens now and then and they always want me to say who is the best writer in America today and I can't think of any name but Capp. I think Capp may very possibly be the best writer in the world today." Chaplin: "For me personally, Al Capp, with his delightful characters, opens new vistas of broad buffoonery with inspirational satire.) This book appeared in the wake of possibly the biggest event of all time in the Li'l Abner cosmos: the long-teased wedding of Li'l Abner and his perpetually-smitten sweetheart, Daisy Mae, which took place in March 1952, and the original strips for which are included here. This comic-strip wedding caused such a media frenzy that it landed the principals -- the gobsmacked Abner, the finally-fulfilled Daisy Mae, and the presiding preacher Marryin' Sam -- on the cover of the March 31, 1952 issue of Life magazine, which also contained an article by Capp, "Why I Let Li'l Abner Marry," (The jacket illustration on the book is a slight variation of the Life cover, with Marryin' Sam performing the ceremony.) The inscribees of this copy were the children and wife of the late actor Norman Lloyd, from whose estate this book was acquired; although Capp's printed-in-all-caps "signature" doesn't resemble most examples of his autograph, it is unquestionably authentic.
