Description
New York: Random House, 1958. 1st EDITION, 1st PRINTING. Publisher’s yellow cloth, near fine price-clipped dust jacket with the date code 10/58 on the front flap. Overall an excellent copy. First edition, first printing of this American literary classic, Capote’s admitted favorite literary creation. Our narrator, a writer, recalls his earlier days in New York when he meets Holly Golightly, a café society girl who lives basically from date to date socializing with wealthier men. The iconic Holly, certainly a favorite character of both Capote and Hollywood, was made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 Oscar-winning film. The other three stories in the books include House of flowers, A diamond guitar, and A Christmas memory.

Description
1895. [Paris: n.d. ca 1895]. Original box (85 x 73 x 20 mm) covered in gilt-patterned paper with mounted color illustrated title on outside lid and printed instructions slip on inside lid. With 8 printed rectangular card game pieces plus the rare color printed solution sheet (120 x 120 mm), folded twice. Minor split to one edge of the lid, a few small tears to the sheet, otherwise a very good and complete example of this rare and fragile game. ß A very early, apparently the first, issue of this French game of protesters in which the player takes on the part of a police officer attempting to prevent people from assembling at a demonstration. Not located in OCLC, although other searches reveal copies in the Indiana Lilly Library (in the Jerry Slocum Mechanical Puzzle Collection), one within a "coffret de jeu" (a boxed group of puzzles and games) at the MusÈe du Jouet de Poissy, and another (a variant in which the game pieces are triangular) at the Marseille MusÈe des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la MÈditerranÈe (MUCEM). Later issues with varying artwork can also sometimes appear. The Marseille museum's copy featured in a forum held on February 5, 2024: "Faut-il parler des violences policiËres?" ("Should we talk about police brutality?"). The curator Mireille Jacotin explained: "Jeu des manifestants is a game in which you are the hero, that is to say, the police officer, and as the accompanying instructions explicitly state, you are firmly positioned on the side of the public authority responsible for maintaining order. In reality, the game consists of arranging a set of cardboard pieces printed on a right-angled triangle-shaped board in such a way as to ensure that no two red dots end up on the same line. The underlying concept is to simplify the police s task by ensuring that they do not face a mere undifferentiated crowd and certainly not any organized lines requiring a tactical breach, such as a battlefront during wartime. The game board features no specific characters; instead, it presents a simple grid comprising lines and sectors that serves as a framework for devising and visualizing a strategic plan atop a generic cartographic representation of public space. The red dots, in this scenario, represent the demonstrators. On the lid of the box, however, is an urban scene: an overturned double-decker bus, a urinal, figures stirring in the distance, and a policeman in the foreground." (For the original French, see https://www.davduf.net/le-jeu-des-manifestants-1895.) It seems likely this game was inspired by the many protests that took place in Paris throughout the 1890s, including the birth of the international May Day demonstrations.

Very Good in Good dj
Description
New York: Rinehart & Company, Inc.. Very Good in Good dj. (c.1950). First Edition. Hardcover. [light bumping to lower corners, minor wear at spine ends, a good sound copy; jacket is edgeworn, and has been internally reinforced with brown paper tape along all edges and folds] Mystery novel set along the Cornwall coast, featuring "that delightfully zany pair of amateur sleuths, Jane and Dagobert Brown," who were (of course) vacationing in the area. (Because don't all amateur sleuthing couples, zany or not, always get involved with murders when they're on vacation?) Although American-born, the author spent much of his writing life in England, which pretty much infused his fiction -- one critic called the Dagobert and Jane books (of which there were ultimately a dozen) "at times exasperatingly British, even when they take place in France, Switzerland, or America." It's interesting that this book is cover-blurbed as "a new Dagobert Brown story," when in fact it's Jane who is both the narrator and, in some measure, the driving force of the books. Generally speaking (per critic Ellen A. Nehr), their adventures involve "Jane [doing] all the work and Dagobert wander[ing] through vague attempts at scholarly occupations," as befits a "black sheep of an entitled family." (This was the fourth book in the series, most titles in which seem to have been published simultaneously in England and America, with the American editions generally less common.) .

Very Good+
Description
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company. Very Good+. 1931. 7th printing. Hardcover. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [a good sound copy with only minor wear to a few points at the edges and extremities, the original (1931) owner's name (in pencil) on the front endpaper, along with a later owner's name plus date & place of purchase and a brief comment (all in ink)]. An early printing (from the original publisher, not a reprint house) of the third Ellery Queen mystery, in which Inspector Richard Queen and his mystery-writing son Ellery are called upon to solve the murder of an eccentric millionaress who has been murdered while in a diabetic coma in a hospital, about to undergo surgery. The printing history on the copyright page reveals that the book had already had two printings before its September 1931 publication date, and had already gone into its seventh printing (this one) by the beginning of December -- testament to the enormous success achieved by the Queen mysteries pretty much right out of the gate (and justifying the publisher's blurb quoting the London Times's assessment of Ellery Queen as "the logical successor to Sherlock Holmes." (It's also interesting to note that the publisher was still presenting the author as a man of mystery: their jacket blurb begins "Who is 'Ellery Queen'?" I guess it was a better marketing ploy than acknowledging that EQ was a pair of twentysomething cousins from Brooklyn.) This book was loosely adapted for the 1941 Columbia film ELLERY QUEEN AND THE MURDER RING, one of a series of programmers in which Ellery was played by Ralph Bellamy (later by William Gargan) and his father Richard by Charley Grapewin. NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. .
