Description
Budapest: Franklin-Tarsulat Nyomdaja, 1877. About very good.. x,[1],220pp. Original russet cloth stamped in black and gilt, a.e.g. Light soiling and wear, corners bumped. Text toned but clean. Szenger was a Hungarian doctor serving in the Medical Corps of Maximilian I's army in Mexico. He witnessed first-hand, therefore, the French intervention in Mexico, including Maximilian's execution. The present work is his account of his travels in Mexico. The title roughly translates as "The Highland of Mexico in Respect to Physiology and Pathology," which, in addition to being an interesting and unusual travel narrative, serves as an odd sort of medical work. Rare on the market and especially uncommon in American institutions. We locate copies at Yale Medical, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Arizona, as well as several copies in Hungary. An important eyewitness account of Maximilian's brief career as the Emperor of Mexico.

[N.p., 1937. Very good.. [3],53pp., rectos only, including fifty-nine vernacular sepia-toned photographs measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches and a few maps and manuscript diagrams. Typed self wrappers, brad-bound. Minor creasing and dust-soiling to wrappers. Clean internally. A profusely illustrated report, with a few hand-drawn diagrams and numerous manuscript emendations, focused on various U.S. Army installations in the American Southeast. The author, Major George H. Schumacher of the U.S. Army's Quartermaster Corps, visited several Army bases and other posts in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia in the Spring of 1937. His report includes inspection details, notes on personnel, recommended repairs, and other information for each site he visited on his 3,065-mile tour, beginning with Fort Barrancas and Key West in Florida to Fort Moultrie in South Carolina, to Fort Bragg and Raleigh Cemetery in North Carolina, Fort McClellan in Alabama, and ending with a couple of bases in Georgia. The text of the report is supplemented with almost sixty annotated photographs which are interspersed throughout. A sampling of the photographs includes the Bachelor Quarters in Key West, the CCC Camp at Fort Taylor, the St. Augustine Cemetery, a WPA road under construction at Fort Moultrie, various buildings at Fort Bragg and the Raleigh Cemetery, a road and bridge at Fort McClellan, and various features at Georgia forts Screven and Oglethorpe. A unique production, and an informative assessment of 1930s Army installation in the American South and Southeast.

Description
New York: The Library Fellows at the Whitney Museum of American Art [by Michael and Winifred Bixler Press and Letter Foundry], 1991. Spine faded as often with this book, a few scuffs to cloth, some minor soiling to slipcase. Oblong folio (32.9x42 cm; 13x16½ inches). Beautifully printed in letterpress. [16] pages With 9 mounted chromogenic photographic prints by Tina Barney: 27.7 x3 5.9 cm (11x14¼"). Original turquoise three quarter morocco over cloth; endpapers designed by Sage Reynolds; slipcase. One of an edition limited to 175 copies signed by Barney and Howe. An artist book collaboration between American playwright Tina Howe and American photographer Tina Barney produced as a benefit for the library of the Whitney Museum. An edition in the Artists and Writers Series. The text is a four-person dialogue written by Tina Howe, set on an Atlantic Coast beach in late August. The large-format images manipulate depth of field, and capture people on or around the beach, making the series a vibrant, though haunting, counterpoint to Howe's clipped dialogue. It also delights in capturing late 1980s style and fashion, from young children through the elderly. A beautiful, tactilely rich book.

Description
Lisbon: press of the Royal Academy of Sciences, 1787. Narrow 4to (209 x 118 mm). [8], xiii, [3], 175 pages. Title-leaf (fol. [*2]) present in duplicate. Folding engraved plate of a mechanical silk loom; titles with woodcut arms of the Portuguese Royal Academy of Sciences, woodcut and typographic headpieces (occasional slight discoloration, small wormtrack in the folding plate). Contemporary cat’s-paw polished sheep, covers with gilt border, spine in six gold-tooled compartments, the second gilt lettered, edges gilt and gauffered (recased, endpapers renewed, defect in top spine compartment, a dozen small wormholes). Provenance: António Romão dos Passos (1866-1951), signature in ink (Antonio Passos / agronomo or Anto R. Passos) scrawled across both titles, the first with price note, and on six text leaves. *** Only edition of a comprehensive overview of the Portuguese silk industry, by the judicial magistrate of the Moncorvo district and author of several works on political economy and history of law. José Antonio de Sá (d. 1819), a native of Bragança, was an important proponent of modernization of the industry, and later served as director of the Royal Silk Factory (Real Fábrica das Sedas), founded in 1802 in Lisbon. He was one of the earliest members of the Academia Real das Sciencias of Lisbon. Silkworms were raised in Portugal as early as the 13th century. Sericulture and silk production were concentrated in the northeastern province of Trás-os-Montes, its largest center being the city of Bragança, which from the 15th to 17th century was known throughout Europe for its luxurious velvets. Because of the lack of government support for industry, frequent wars, and above all the persecutions of the Inquisition, which decimated an industry in all sectors of which Jews or converted Jews (cristãos-novos) played a major role, Portuguese silk production suffered from intermittent crises and was even periodically decimated. Starting in the 1770s, efforts to revive the industry began to have an effect: “By the end of the 18th century, the Trás-os-Montes silk industry had dragged itself out of the crisis that had begun in 1750-1755, coinciding with the last incursion of the Inquisition into Bragança, and embarked upon a period of great development, accompanying the industrial expansion that was then taking place, not only in that particular region, but throughout the Portuguese kingdom. After the Inquisition’s systematic persecution of businessmen, weavers and throwers had finally come to an end, the continuity and expansion of the silk industry seemed to be a viable prospect. In the last two decades of the 18th century, a remarkable process of modernization took place thanks to the efforts of the businessmen involved in this economic activity, such as António José Lopes Fernandes, who installed 200 silk looms in Bragança, magistrates such as José António de Sá and Pereira de Barros, and politicians such as Martinho de Melo e Castro and Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho, the latter being the Portuguese ambassador to Piedmont, Italy. These efforts included the adoption of Piedmontese methods and techniques (namely the organzine mill and the spinning-jenny), the most advanced ones at that time in Europe, in an operation led by experts coming to Portugal from that Italian region.” (Sousa, p. 6) Sá’s work is in three parts. The first part comprises an overview of the history of silk production, starting with Antiquity, and summaries of the industry and government policies toward it in other countries, followed by a detailed recommendation, with responses to projected objections, that the Portuguese government undertake a campaign to plant mulberry trees and promote the industry generally. Part two is a treatise on the silkworm, and part three a technical survey of “the art of silk spinning.” Explained in the text (pp. 142-148) is the letter- and number-keyed engraving of a rather fanciful machine, showing a vat for softening the cocoons heating on the left, from which a thread-unwinding mechanism feeds a loom on the right. The reason for the duplicated title-leaf in this copy is not clear. Perhaps one functioned as an upper wrapper — but as both titles are preceded by a half-title that appears unlikely. The book collector Antonio Romão dos Passos (b. February 28, 1866) was an engineer and agronomist. Other books from his library, all on practical subjects, are recorded; four are digitized by the Biblioteca Nacional Digital de Portugal. One, a treatise on hemp, has a similar indelicately scrawled signature across the title. OCLC gives six US locations.

While the title is "Mexican Cookbook", the book has a strong focus on the cuisine of New Mexico. It captures the unique blend of Native American, Spanish, and Mexican culinary influences that define this regional cooking style. In doing so, it helped to solidify the identity and importance of New Mexican food as a distinct culinary tradition. The first edition is very uncommon in the market, especially in jacket. Fine in a fine unclipped jacket. [OCLC locates fifty-one copies; Bitting, page 156; Brown 2125; Cagle 253].

Description
New York: The Architectural Book Publishing Co., 1923. First edition Folio, 212 pages, bound in original blue cloth with gilt spine titles. A most impressive study of the architectural firm of Mellor, Meigs & Howe, with photographic images as well as architectural drawings of some of their most important commissions. The preface was written by Owen Wister in praise of the mission of the architects of this prestigious concern to allow "life to determine the character of a building". This particular volume is concerned primarily with residential and farm buildings displaying the firm's dedication to standing against the commercialization of art and architecture by applying the deepest philosophical and aesthetic elements of the Arts and Crafts movement. Indeed, the influence of the British architectural principles seen in the work of Bailey Scott, Philip Webb and others is in keen evidence. The book retains its original dust wrapper, exhibiting some light wear but complete and bright. This title has been reprinted but the new version is a sad representative of this substantial, handsome work. Quite scarce in this condition.

Description
New York: Grove Press, Inc.. Near Fine. 1981 (c.1972). 1st Evergreen Edition. Softcover. [minor wear only to book, but there is a small hole punched in the front cover]. Trade PB (B&W photographs) An endlessly fascinating read-through of the correspondence files of the legendary producer of GONE WITH THE WIND and other classics (and an occasional non-classic) -- albeit, as editor Behlmer explains in his foreword, presenting "a rather one-sided case, with no opportunity for the several victims of Selznick's unhappiness or, in some instances, wrath, to offer rebuttals or countercharges." The selection of memos -- from among two thousand file boxes of Selznick's papers -- was a monumental task, and although it was by necessity a highly selective process, at the end you feel like you've gotten a pretty comprehensive picture of DOS -- "at times pontificating and overly fussy," as the editor allows, but "also brilliant, knowledgeable, tasteful, painstaking, and possessed by what he was doing." The book itself was something of a landmark of cinema scholarship: never before had a book of film history (or biography) been presented as an assemblage of primary documents, and it's not saying too much to state that it raised the bar for future film historians' excavation of such archives. Quite fittingly included in the important bibliography "100 Books on Hollywood & the Movies." (xx) .
