Seller
Royal Books (United States)
Description
New York: Crown Publishers, 1972. First hardcover edition, preceded by a paperback original published by Chicago Paperback House in 1962. INSCRIBED by the author on the front endpaper, with typical dry wit: "To Palmer [and] Marge Carlson - / Your determination in getting this book almost-almost-matches Frank Mansfield's. My warmest personal regards. Yours, / Charles Willeford / 17 Feb 1973." Scarce signed. The "Frank Mansfield" to whom Willeford refers is the narrator of "Cockfighter," a disgraced gamecock trainer who has taken a vow of silence (which, at the start of the novel, has lasted over two years) until he wins the elusive Cockfighter of the Year Award. The author's uncommon second hardcover title. Basis for the 1972 Monte Hellman film, for which Willeford wrote the screenplay and played a key supporting role, starring Warren Oates in a little-known but brilliant performance as Mansfield. Fine and unread in a Very Good only dust jacket. Owner name matching the inscription on the front pastedown. Jacket is chipped and rubbed, with light toning to the spine, and a sticker shadow to the rear panel.

Description
AP Wire World Photo. No binding. Near Fine. New York: AP Wire Photo, 1960-1985. Set of 3 vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm) black-and-white glossy photos. Minor wear, near fine. American modernist composer Elliott Carter is shown in his studio in 1960, with pianist Paul Jacobs ca. 1981 and with conductor Robert Craft ca. 1985. Elliott Carter (1908-2012) is internationally recognized as one of the most influential American voices in classical music, and a leading figure of modernism in the 20th and 21st centuries. Among his better-known works are the Variations for Orchestra (1954–55); the Double Concerto for Harpsichord and Piano with Two Chamber Orchestras (1959–61); the Piano Concerto (1964–65), written as an 85th-birthday present for Igor Stravinsky; and the Concerto for Orchestra (1969), loosely based on a poem by Saint-John Perse.

Description
Ascona, Schweiz: Galleria Sacchetti. First edition. Paperback. 61pp. Slim quarto [29 cm] Gray and white pictorial wraps. Fine condition. Photography by Markus Hildebrand. "The illusive high degree of reality in Ingo Wegerl's portraits can practically penetrate the observer 'under the skin.' Consequently people have attested to the painter a 'X-ray glance' on the desired object in turn. This burning interest not to be easily satisfied with external appearance and to search the real essence of people and things under the surface, was and it is still a fundamental spring for Wegerl that put himself artistically in discussion with the surrounding world.
