Description
Tokyo: Toho Company, 1948. Draft script for the 1948 Japanese film noir. Text and titles in Japanese. The first of sixteen film collaborations between director Akira Kurosawa and actor Toshiro Mifune. Kurosawa's seventh film saw him exploring the inter workings and motivations of the yakuza and machismo. Censorship was tight regarding the occupation, forbidding criticism of Americans, leading Kurosawa to slip in references to the US presence in Japan, satirizing jazz, "pan pan" girls (unlicensed prostitutes catering to American soldiers), and Western clothing and hairstyles. Set in the slums of postwar Japan. White titled wrappers. Approximately 40 leaves, with last page of text numbered 79. Mimeograph duplication, printed on rectos and versos. Pages Very Good plus, wrapper Very Good plus, covered in a protective plastic wrapping from when the script was used during filming, side stapled. BFI 638. Criterion Collection 413. Grant Japan.

Description
Scarce, iconic, & fantastic lithograph Abraham Lincoln cartoon, The Political Gymnasium [Abraham Lincoln] [Louis Mauer?] The Political Gymnasium. New York: Currier & Ives, 1860. Lithograph broadside, 18 x 13-1/2 inches. This scarce and iconic lithograph is a detailed, humorous "parody on the field of presidential candidates and their supporters in the 1860 campaign." Bell and Everett, for the Constitutional Union Party, are there: Bell, a muscle man, holds Everett aloft on a barbell. Horace Greeley struggles to do a pull-up in his effort to gain the New York governorship, while Lincoln is easily astride his own bar (wooden rails) offering helpful advice: "You must do as I did, Greely, get somebody to give you a boost. I'm sure I never could have got up here by my own efforts." The New York Courier's James Watson Webb does a backward somersault in the foreground. The broadside evidently issued after the parties' nominating Conventions, because Seward is depicted as a cripple, "on crutches and with bandaged feet." Breckinridge and Douglas, "the two sectional Democratic candidates compete in a boxing match." Auction records for the last couple of years show a colored example with trimmed right margin selling for $8,125 and a nice but sooty uncolored example for $5,250. (Both sold by Heritage.) Measures 18 x 13-1/2 in. and is an ideal candidate for framing. Overall Near Fine. Professionally cleaned & mended. (Closed tear crosses most of Seward's midsection.)

Description
Washington D.C.: Harvey W. Wiley,. M.D., 1929. First printing. Very good.. Inscribed first edition of the "most important book ever written in America to protect American citizens from fraudulent practices against their food and drugs" (Clinton R. Miller), written by the first commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. The self-published account of one of the most consequential consumer protection laws ever passed in the US - the 1906 Food and Drug Act - written by one of its most famous proponents. Wiley details the battles and opposition to the law (both historic and ongoing), as well as arguing strenuously for strengthening the act's enforcement mechanisms. As writer Deborah Blum noted in her 2018 biography of Wiley: "When the landmark 1906 Food and Drug Act was finally passed, it was known across the land, as 'Dr. Wiley's Law.'" This copy was signed on the last day before Wiley's retirement from public life, which was widely announced in newspapers nationwide as commencing on Jan. 1st of 1930. An interesting copy of a significant book. 8'' x 5.25''. Original black cloth with gold stamped titles. xiv, 414 pages. Inscribed by Wiley on the title page: "To Mrs. S.W. Davidson / With the sincerest re- / gards of the author / Harvey W. Wiley / December 31st, 1929." Spine titles faded. Some fraying to cloth at head and tail, rubbing to joints. Slight lean, minor shelfwear. Overall, sound.

Rare limited signed first edition of this story privately printed by the author's partner Sandy Campbell and illustrated with a signed and numbered serigraph by Paul Cadmus. Windham was a close friend of Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams and an acquaintance of E.M. Forster, Joseph Cornell, Gore Vidal, Montgomery Clift, and Paul Cadmus - at whose studio he first met Sandy Campbell - among many other notable figures in literature and the arts. His several novels, memoirs, and short stories earned him the admiration of André Gide and Thomas Mann, and his "early and fearless representation of gay characters in his fiction has made works like Two People and the short story "Servants With Torches" essential reading in Queer Studies classes" (The Story of Windham and Campbell, Windham-Campbell Prizes, Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University). Many copies of the already small limited edition were destroyed by water, with most of the few surviving copies showing some signs of water damage, as here. Rare and important. 10.25'' x 7''.

1841. First Edition. WARREN, Samuel. Ten Thousand a-Year. Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons, 1841. Three volumes. Octavo, contemporary full russet calf, raised bands, elaborately gilt-decorated spines, black morocco spine labels, all edges marbled. $1600.First edition in book form of this classic 19th-century novel, popular in both England and the United States for much of the second half of the 19th-century, and a likely influence on Dickens, attractively bound.""Warren's second novel… which was an immediate best-seller, concerns a firm of attorneys who discover that Tittlebat Titmouse, a poor draper's clerk, may have a claim to the large estate of Yatton. The attorneys commence an action which results in Titmouse displacing the unbelievably pious John Aubrey as the owner of the estate, and its annual income of £10,000. Titmouse revels in his new found wealth, until a new round of litigation is commenced which returns Aubrey to his place as squire of Yatton. Titmouse is disgraced, and ends his life in a lunatic asylum. The narrator repeatedly tells the reader that the English legal system is close to perfection, but the actual workings of the law in Ten Thousand a-Year paint a more negative picture. Dickens seems to have read Warren's fiction and non-fiction, and to have borrowed images and ideas"" (ODNB). First published in the Blackwood's Magazine in installments in 1839. Armorial bookplates.Text fine, contemporary binding with some toning to brown, modest wear. An extremely good copy.

Description
Cagliari: Efisio Firanu, 1848. Original printed wrappers. Some minor foxing, otherwise fine. A whimsical satire on monastic life, written as a Linnaean classification. First published in Latin in 1783, the text is comprised of entries for twelve holy orders, with a physical description, differences between male and female species (monks and nuns), habitat, diet, and purpose (for example, “Too fat for use, born only to eat and drink”). An epigraph written by Linnaeus about insects and adapted to the present work opens the book. Published anonymously for obvious reasons, this title is attributed to Austrian mineralogist and metallurgist Ignatius von Born, who is best remembered for his catalog of fossils and minerals in the Raab collection.

Description
New York: Rizzoli, 1990. First Edition Thus (In English). Cloth. New/New. Folio, 33 by 27 cm. 537 pp. Profusely and richly illustrated with spectacular photographs principally but also some images of prints, maps, etc. The survey captures the Venice of fantasy, taking us into interiors mostly inaccessible to the tourist. The book has previously been unused and is essentially new. It does have a short red magic marker line on lower edge right by spine tip -- the typical mark of a remainder book. In our view, the mark is inconspicuous and will not disconcert most collectors.

Bound in orange cloth with illustrated jacket. 96 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 29 cm. "This monograph is dedicated to the career of Esther Bubley, one of America's leading photojournalists. Bubley's mentor was Roy Stryker, for whom she worked at the Office of War Information in Washington, D.C., and at Standard Oil in New York City. Under Stryker, Bubley learned to document the spectacle of modern industry and the lives of ordinary people in a fast-changing world. From the early 1940s to the late 60s, she also freelanced for national magazines, producing forty photo-essays for Life, a dozen more for the Ladies' Home Journal and numerous projects for non-profit organizations and major corporations alike." "The narrative essay by Bonnie Yochelson explains the working life of a photojournalist during the pre-television era, when picture magazines dominated the national media. The book includes seventy-five of her finest images as well as contact sheets and magazine layouts, which illustrate how Bubley's photographs were originally seen by millions of Americans."--Jacket.
