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.

Description
New York: Friends of Irish Freedom, 1920. Unbound. Near Fine. First edition. Broadside. Single sheet measuring 6" by 11" printed on recto only. Lightly creased where once folded, with light early soiling and a few small nicked tears in margin only, a very good copy. The header states: "Released for immediate publication"; published on occasion of the tercentenary celebration of the landing of the pilgrims in the United States. The text of the broadside begins: "Every citizen in America, no matter what may be his racial origin, is interested in the celebration this year of the tercentenary celebration of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers… we all ought to have respect… but we should not allow [it] to be turned into a fulsome magnifying of the Anglo-Saxon race to the minimizing of the other people… people here of pro-British tendencies have seemed to capture the tercentenary celebration… Civil freedom existed in the world long before the Pilgrims sighted New England… The Pilgrims were but a part... Let us... try to see America not as some would wish it to be, but as it is." Scholar Michael Doorley states, "The Friends of Irish Freedom was founded a few weeks prior to the 1916 Rising, ostensibly to promote the cause of Ireland in the United States..." [see Doorley, 'Irish-American Diaspora Nationalism: the Friends of Irish Freedom' (publisher's abstract, Four Courts, 2005)]. In their first constitution, the Friends of Irish Freedom pledged themselves "to encourage and assist any movement that will tend to bring about the national independence of Ireland." It was founded in 1916, at the First Irish Race Convention, in New York City, at the Hotel Astor. Clan na Gael played a key role in the foundation, with close ties to the Irish Republican Brotherhood, which was generally considered their counterpart in Ireland. Unrecorded by *OCLC*, which does note a single holding of two similar "Friends of Irish Freedom" broadsides, *The Anglo-Saxon Humbug,*and *Playing up the Puritan*, both held by Oberlin; The National Library of Ireland notes holdings of various broadsides and pamphlets published by The Friends of Irish Freedom; but not this title.

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.

(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. .
