Title: [Original Art]: Six Large Vietnam War-Themed Political Cartoons
Author: CANFIELD, Bil
Seller: Between the Covers- Rare Books, Inc. ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: [Likely Newark, New Jersey]: The Author / [*Newark News*, 1965. Unbound. Near Fine. Original art. Six ink and crayon drawings of slightly varying sizes—approximately 10" x 11"—on card stock of slightly varying sizes, the largest being 15" x 18". Titles in pencil with some penciled editorial notes, four sheets with the lower right corner clipped, light wear and soil with the blank versos modestly soiled, a near fine collection. Each cartoon is Signed by Canfield in ink. Six striking Vietnam War-themed political cartoons, almost certainly from Canfield's time at the *Newark News* (of New Jersey). The cartoons seem to be critical of the war while showing a great deal of respect for the soldiers (Canfield was a WWII veteran); two of them contrast the soldiers' experience in Vietnam and the "hardships" (a TV strike; general "discontent") faced far away at home. One cartoon takes as its subject a McNamara visit to Vietnam and another to Westmoreland's request for more troops, hence our date attribution of circa 1965. Canfield was the sports and political cartoonist at the *Newark News* from 1946 to 1972 and at the *Star-Ledger* (both New Jersey) from 1972 until 1995. According to an obituary, Canfield is quoted as saying “After God created cartoonists, he realized they needed a subject. So he created New Jersey” (as a New Jersey bookstore, we feel comfortable repeating this). He as inducted into the New Jersey Literary Hall of Fame in 1988.

Title: The Chess Player's Chronicle Volume II (2)
Author: Howard Staunton (1810-1874) editor
Seller: The Book Collector ABAA, ILAB, TBA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: 432 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") bound in period cloth with blind stamped covers with gilt insignia, and gilt decoration and lettering to spine. Title in red and green. Volume II (2). (Betts: 7-1) First edition.The Chess Player's Chronicle, founded by Howard Staunton and extant from 1841–56 and 1859–62, was the world's first successful English-language magazine devoted exclusively to chess. Various unrelated but identically or similarly named publications were published until 1902. The earliest chess magazine in any language was the French Le Palamède, published in 1836-39 and 1842-47. In 1837 George Walker introduced an English-language magazine, the Philidorian, that was devoted to "chess and other scientific games". Only six issues of it were published, and it "expired in May, 1838". The Chess Player's Chronicle became the first successful English-language chess magazine. In 1840 or 1841 Staunton bought the fortnightly magazine The British Miscellany and Chess Player's Chronicle. In 1841 it became The Chess Player's Chronicle. In 1843, the Chess Player's Chronicle became a shilling monthly magazine. Staunton "made the inclusion of a large number of games by himself and other leading players of the day a special feature" of the magazine. He also used the magazine as a forum for attacking others. Staunton was the owner and editor of the magazine until the early 1850s, when he sold it to R.B. O'Brien. O'Brien became editor of the magazine, but was unable to continue its success and discontinued it in 1856 because of financial losses and his own illness. It reappeared in 1859 under the editorship of Ignatz Kolisch, Zytogorski, and Josef Kling, but survived only until July 1862. Thereafter, a number of magazines appeared with the same or similar name (such as Chess Players' Chronicle) appeared. Arthur Skipworth, assisted by William Wayte and Charles Ranken, wrote The Chess Players' Quarterly Chronicle, which was published in York from February 1868 to December 1871. Skipworth, who had left Bilsdale for Tetford Rectory, Horncastle, and John Wisker became the editors of the new The Chess Players' Chronicle in February 1872. Johann Löwenthal began writing for it in 1873. The magazine ran until 1875. In January 1876, it was succeeded by The Chess Player's Chronicle, whose editor-in-chief was J. Jenkin of Helensburgh. Its editorial staff consisted of Jenkin, Skipworth, Ranken, Wayte, and Andrew Hunter of Glasgow. Billed as a "monthly record of provincial chess", it was published at Glasgow, costing sixpence. Its short run under Jenkin's editorship was marked by xenophobia. The February issue stated that the West End Club had "cleared away the disturbing foreign element which infected the Divan" and referring to Wilhelm Steinitz as "the hot-headed little Austrian". Its third and last issue was published in March. The magazine reappeared in January 1877. It was now under Ranken's editorship, assisted by J. Crum, G. B. Fraser, Skipworth, and Wayte. The first issue apologized for "certain offensive statements and insinuations, seriously affecting the honor of some eminent players", and explained that some members of the present editorial staff had only contributed games and other inoffensive material to it in 1875. Ranken continued to edit the magazine until September 1880. In 1881, the title was enlarged to The Chess Player's Chronicle
