Very good plus.
Description
Cleveland: B. Johnson Publishing Company, 1952. Very good plus.. [40]pp. Original red pictorial wrappers, stapled. Mild wear. Light uniform toning to text. A very rare directory listing the members of the St. John A.M.E. Church in Cleveland, edited by Josephus F. Hicks. The editor's preface states that the work was produced "to present the individual groups of this church; the composition of each, a roster of the membership of those who have registered in the 1951 census and others who have submitted their names to be registered in this booklet." The text includes a portrait of the church minister, a "Historical Sketch" of the church, a group portrait of the work's "Sponsoring Group," rosters of church officials, committees, clubs, choirs, and other groups, a portrait of the editor, and an alphabetical listing of about a thousand members of the church with their addresses and telephone numbers (when they have a phone). As such, the work is tantamount to a directory of the African American community in the neighborhood around the St. John A.M.E. Church. The text is interspersed with advertisements for businesses owned by or sympathetic to the members of the Black community in Cleveland. OCLC records just one copy, at Emory.

Just About Fine
Description
Various. No binding. Just About Fine. New York, [ca. 1970]. Two vintage original 10 x 8" (25 x 20 cm) black-and-white photos. One has very light scattered creases and stamp on verso of portrait photographer Antony di Gesu, the other has stamp of American Museum of Natural History (where Mead was curator of ethnology from 1946-69) and evidence of a descriptive text once affixed there. Overall just about fine. Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist, author and speaker, who appeared frequently in the mass media during the 1960s and the 1970s. Mead served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1975. She was a communicator of anthropology in modern American and Western culture and was often controversial as an academic. Her reports detailing the attitudes towards sex in South Pacific and Southeast Asian traditional cultures influenced the 1960s sexual revolution. She was a proponent of broadening sexual conventions within the context of Western cultural traditions. (Wikipedia)
