Very Good+
Description
1931. Paperback. Very Good+. A sweet little hand-made volume, illustrated in full-color throughout; about 4.5-by-6 inches, 20 pages (including front and rear cover) alternately bound with staples or glue. This joyful ode to Christmas booty (as in, presents) features a Schnauzer in holly and red bow, bounding through an alphabet of potential gifts, as though through a store. Perhaps created as a mock-up, story board, or even a potential magazine lay-out (it begins with Shophound sitting in his Vogue office on Christmas Eve), most illustrations are drawn hastily (though nonetheless legible and pleasing) in colored pencil, with two tipped-on illustrations cut from an unidentified source (likely a Tiffany's catalogue). A little finger-smudged with graphite, and with faint editorial notes in the margins, buttressing the possibility that this is an early draft of a larger project.

Very good plus.
Description
[Detroit, 1970. Very good plus.. 12pp., plus four-page section inserted at center. Original pictorial wrappers printed in blue, stapled. Very minor wear. An unrecorded African-American business directory issued by the Booker T. Washington Business Association in Detroit. According to the introduction: "Booker T. Washington Business Association, Detroit's oldest black business organization, is proud to present the first of a series of Directories geared to support and encourage the development of more businesses within the Detroit area.... This is your Directory, and we urge you to begin today patronizing these black-owned businesses." The text of the directory is comprised of quarter-page advertisements for about forty said businesses, ranging from automobile dealers to supermarkets according to the alphabetical index on the second page. Some of the ads are illustrated with portraits of the proprietors. The text also includes a four-page section titled "Membership Roster" inserted in the middle, presumably listing the current members of the Booker T. Washington Business Association. We could locate no copies of this directory in OCLC or elsewhere.

Description
New York: Sotheby's Books. Near Fine. (c.1996). First Edition. Softcover. [faint handling wear, slight bumping to upper corner of rear cover]. (B&W photographs) NOT the catalogue of the Sotheby's auction, which was held April 23-26, 1996 (and was preceded by a public exhibition that opened on April 19), but rather a post-facto album about the auction itself, "one of the most sucessful single-owner collection sales in history": how it came about, the extraordinary preparations for it, the announcement and the ensuing media and public attention, and the bidding frenzy at the event itself, which brought forth "successive waves of astonishing results." Laid in is the printed card that was sent out with all complimentary copies of this publication. .
