Description
London: R. Noble for R. Edwards, 1797. First Edition. Full Morocco. Very Good. Elephantine folio, 44 by 34 cm. viii, [2], 95, [2] pp. 43 of the pages have Blake's expansive, charismatic illustrations surrounding the text. Four of these are section heads, the balance, being border ornamentation, but even the latter are far more than merely decorative. The distinctive Blake artwork fires the imagination regardless. In fact, the text, which is framed with ruled lines, seems to cover some of the illustration. Last two pages are the Explanation of the Engravings, which are often not present. The full navy blue morocco is fairly heavily rubbed along the edges, a bit less so, by the joints. Some scattered soiling within, but the pages are generally quite clean. There are a few closed tears, not of great length, and one repaired close tear which was somewhat longer. The Explanation of Engravings leaf has two repaired tears. Notwithstanding these flaws, this is an attractive, appealing copy.

Description
The Stanford Radical Caucus, 1970. Folded sheet, staples. Very Good. Leftist student organization's long essay that analyzes and rails against income inequities, corporate capitalism home and abroad, who controls the government, etc. And of course there is an anti-war attitude underlying the cynicism about the U.S. government. The type of outlook that was sweeping campuses across the country then, especially the more elite schools, but this one is leavened with a dollop of humor with cartoons, and it is also enlivened with many other illustrations -- depending what one considers illustration as opposed to ornament, easily more than twenty, plus three sets of multi-panel cartoon strips. 32 typed pages on standard sized typing paper (11 by 8.5 inches, or 28by 12.5 cm), including front and back covers. No copies found on OCLC First Search -- not entirely surprising, given that it wasn't commercially published or printed. Cover is a folded blue sheet twice the width of the other sheets. Blue cover has columns of soiling. Some light foxing along the edges, which have minor chipping and roughening.

Description
folio, 10 pages, on unwatermarked 18th century paper, likely of American manufacture, formerly folded in quarters, docketed twice on final leaf. There are significant condition issues, paper browned and brittle, separated along folds with considerable loss at intersection of center fold, tears repaired with archival tissue. Despite the issues of condition, a unique document listing the estate inventory of a unique figure, a pioneer printer, publisher, and journalist in colonial Philadelphia. Manuscript estate inventory of Andrew Bradford, pioneer printer and journalist of Philadelphia, who died November 24, 1742. Bradford printed the first newspaper in the middle colonies and the first magazine in America. Andrew Bradford, like his father William was also a pioneer supporter of the idea of a free press and is credited with setting "forth those principles that later enabled Andrew Hamilton, in New York City, to free John Peter Zenger in the most famous case for press freedom in colonial days." The inventory lists Bradford's personal and household effects as well as the inventory of his business. Bradford not only was a printer he also, like most other printers, had attached to his office a large store. Bradford operated at "The Sign of the Bible" an early eighteenth-century general store which carried a wide range of goods and in which he did a considerable business. Bradford's store, like his paper the American Mercury, was a popular and profitable undertaking. The wealth of the colony had increased by 1742, the year of Bradford's death, and Bradford's stock includes more luxurious and expensive items, as shown in the present inventory. The inventory lists a large stock of books, including dozens of Bibles and Testaments, Prayer Books, schoolbooks and primers, including "31 Dozen Horn Books", dictionaries, literary works, bibles, of all sizes and "quality", religious books, including 17 copies of Pilgrim's Progress, medical books, including "1 doz Aristotle's Midwife," German and Welsh language books, likely the products of Bradford's press (Bradford printed the first Welsh book in America, in 1721), elegantly bound blank books, large amounts of paper, vellum and parchment, printed forms, and legal stationery, scientific instruments, dozens of pairs of spectacles, parcels of almanacs and pamphlets, many likely the product of Bradford's press, unbound books, bibles and pamphlets, likely to be bound in Bradford's own bindery, the inventory includes "41 calf and sheep skins", as well as many other items of the stationer's trade, slates, pencils, quills, etc. Bradford's furnishings are also listed, dishes, silver, gold, and silver watches, "a Chaise and Harness", textiles, and finally three slaves: "One Negro Man Named Harry", "One Negro man Named Tonsy" and an unnamed "Negro Woman". The goods were appraised at over £ 942, by Jon Danby and Richard Sewell. Andrew Bradford, printer, and journalist, as well as a bookseller, bookbinder, and slave owner - given the evidence from his estate inventory offered here. "Bradford was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, circa 1686, the son of William Bradford, a printer and journalist, and Elizabeth Sowle, whose father, Andrew Sowle, was a printer in London. After being arrested and released for printing a pamphlet by Quaker apostate George Keith, William Bradford moved his family to New York and opened a print shop. Here, Andrew Bradford was trained as a printer. Little is known about his childhood or formal education, but Bradford was probably not the "illiterate" printer Benjamin Franklin was to call him in the disparaging remarks in his Autobiography on the state of printing in Philadelphia upon his arrival in the city. Bradford was listed as a freeman and printer of New York in 1709, the same year he declined Rhode Island's offer to become the colony's printer. In 1710-1711 father and son were in partnership and published three books together; they maintained close business ties throughout their careers. In 1713 Andrew Bradford returned to Philadelphia and was hired to publish "The Acts and Laws of the Province of Pennsylvania, October 14th, 1712 to March 27th, 1713," the first printed collection of the colony's laws, and thus became the unofficial provincial printer. He was the only printer in Philadelphia until 1723 and published the acts of the assembly, Indian treaties, and Governor William Keith's letters and proclamations. Almanacs by Jacob Taylor, Titan Leed, and John Jerman bore Bradford's imprint, as did various books and pamphlets on social, political, and religious matters." Bradford, in addition to being the official printer for the Province, was also the printer for the Society of Friends'. Bradford's the American Weekly Mercury, the first newspaper in Philadelphia, commenced publication on 22 December 1719 and remained in publication for twenty-six years. The venture was initially a partnership with John Copson, a local bookseller at the time. They were assisted by William Bradford, who remained in New York, but took in advertisements for the Mercury until he started his own paper, the New York Gazette, late in 1725. The American Mercury had a wide circulation, and Bradford enjoyed the advantages of being colonial postmaster from 1728 to 1737, which allowed him to accumulate news and to send his own mail at no cost – both of which greatly increased the American Mercury's circulation. Until 1728 the American Mercury did not have any local competition, but upon hearing that Benjamin Franklin was planning to bring out a newspaper, another Philadelphia printer and one of Franklin's former employers, Samuel Keimer, began publishing the Universal Instructor in All Arts and Sciences; and the Pennsylvania Gazette. Franklin, joined later by Joseph Breintnall, sent thirty-two letters modeled on Sir Richard Steele and Joseph Addison's London essay periodical, the Spectator, to Bradford for publication in his newspaper. These essays, together called The Busy-Body, included remarks designed to attack Keimer and drive him out of the newspaper business; they were a success. Franklin took possession of the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729 and became Bradford's chief competition. Early in his newspaper's existence, Bradford used it to criticize local government. After a pamphlet critical of the provincial government's financial condition was published, perhaps by Bradford, the American Mercury included a remark also critical of the province's "sinking credit." Brought before the council, Bradford denied printing the pamphlet and claimed that the newspaper remarks were inserted by a journeyman. Admonished against printing remarks on the colonial governments, Bradford was released, but in 1723 he published an account of James Franklin's censure and imprisonment in New England for publishing "scandalous libels" against the colonial government there. The account included remarks supportive of Franklin and generally of freedom of the press. In 1727 and 1728 Bradford again printed several pamphlets on political topics but was not censured. In 1729, however, Bradford was called before the council again. The government and council found Busy-Body essay number twenty-seven, in which Breintnall presents an argument for rotation of public office, to be offensive, appearing, as it did, just before an election. Bradford was jailed but returned to the press shortly, where he continued to publish the Busy-Body essays in the American Mercury. Bradford's quiet resistance of the council's wishes has been seen as an early principled conflict between the press and government in the colonies. Bradford also published the first magazine in America. The American Magazine, edited by John Webbe, was modeled on Edward Cave's Gentleman's Magazine, initiated in London some years earlier. Webbe approached Franklin about the venture, but objecting to Franklin's terms, brought the plan to Bradford. In an advertisement in the American Mercury announcing the venture, the editor sets out numerous objectives: to carry news of communities without a press, and t promote liberty and freedom of the press and speech, without engaging in licentious abuses. Franklin, in the meantime, decided to bring out his own General Magazine, and he and Webbe waged an editorial battle in the Gazette and American Mercury. When the magazines were issued, weeks later, Bradford and Webbe had beaten Franklin into print by three days. Both magazines failed, however, in just a few months. Bradford was married to Dorcas Boels of Freehold, New Jersey, and after her death in 1739, to Cornelia Smith in 1740. His only child by Dorcas, died in infancy or childhood. Sometimes mentioned as a foster son, William Bradford III was Bradford's nephew and was apprenticed to him in the 1730s. After Bradford's death in Philadelphia, Cornelia Bradford continued to publish the American Mercury until 1746. Bradford's reputation rests primarily upon his publication of the first newspaper in the middle colonies and the first magazine in America, as well as upon his consistent if undramatic resistance to the provincial government's desire to control the press."

New York: published by Haasis & Lubrecht, 44 Vesey St, 1881. Lithographed poster, with hand coloring, 34 1/2 x 27 inches, featuring portraits of James Garfield and Abraham Lincoln, each flanked by scenes of their assassinations on the left and scenes of the two Presidents on their death beds to the right, with caption titles for each. Printmakers Haasis & Lubrecht specialized in "incident-rich" tributes (McNeely & Holzer "The Union Image," UNC Press, 2000). They produced maps and pictorial images of Civil War generals and political leaders from the second half of the 19th century. OCLC lists two variants of this poster: Harvard, slightly larger, published by Charles Lubrecht only; and Indiana, with Garfield's portrait and the two scenes flanking Lincoln differing from the ones in this copy. Good copy of a rare poster featuring the two Presidents assassinated in the 19th century. The poster has been professionally deacidified, with small losses and tears (some restoration), lined with Japanese paper. (9833).

Description
1940. 442nd Regimental Combat Team press photograph archive documenting Japanese American military service during World War II, when thousands of Nisei soldiers fought for the United States while many of their families were confined under Executive Order 9066. Activated in 1943, the 442nd was composed largely of second-generation Japanese American volunteers from Hawaiʻi and the mainland and fought in Italy, southern France, and Germany, including major action in the Vosges Mountains and the rescue of the "Lost Battalion" of the 36th Infantry Division in October 1944. This archive records the public and military representation of the unit through press-distributed images of soldiers, artillery, formal recognition, and battlefield death. Photo archive of 4 Large Silver Gelatin press photographs, each 8" x 10", United States and overseas military contexts, 1940s. A field artillery crew operates a large gun from a sandbagged position beneath palm trees, with soldiers gathered around the breech and ammunition boxes placed nearby. A military funeral scene records last rites for an infantryman of the 442nd, with helmeted soldiers standing in formation before an open grave and a caption identifying the dead soldier as a member of the Japanese American combat team. A formal indoor press scene shows two uniformed Nisei sergeants identified as Aubrey Funai and Bill Doy receiving a letter of gratitude from Governor Thye of Minnesota. Additional verso captions, agency stamps, and editorial markings indicate newspaper or wire-service circulation, including references to the 442nd Combat Team and Japanese American servicemen. The 442nd's service became one of the most consequential public counters to wartime anti-Japanese racism in the United States, because its members fought in Europe while federal policy still treated Japanese ancestry as grounds for exclusion, removal, and confinement. These press photographs preserve how that service was presented to American audiences: not as private family snapshots, but as news material showing Nisei soldiers in combat support, official recognition, and military mourning. Light toning, handling wear, editorial marks, adhesive residue, and caption labels or stamps present on versos; images remain clear and well preserved. Overall in good condition.

Description
S. l. : s. n., 1900. Very good. Silver gelatine photograph, n. d. (ca 1900 - a small, penciled-in manuscript note on verso "1900 - 1910"); mounted on a card stock mat; photo 5 x 7, mat 10 x 12; image with minor age-toning and wear - in very good to near fine condition; mat with small chips to corners - in good to very good condition. A bit of a mystery, the photograph presumably depicted a crew at a lumber yard, or part of a rail yard, where material for train cars was manufactured. The two visible rails, mounted on concrete piers, were most probably previously-scrapped tracks - repurposed to be used for stacking lumber. Although, most of the men looked to be middle-aged and even older, the first and the thrid ones from the bottom right appeared to be boys, no older than 10.

Description
London: Macmillan and Co., 1895. Octavo. A sensuously romantic but chaste gift binding in full vellum with the initials " J. J. de W." in gilt on the front cover and " 25. June 1895 d. d. G. B. R." on the back cover. 184 pages. The gilt titled spine has an ornament of a single gilt inverted lily blossom on a sinuous stem with the date, 1895 in gilt at the foot of the spine. Small gilt lily blossoms also adorn the corners of both covers. Vellum turn-ins with double gilt rules. Top edge gilt. Although this binding is unsigned, it was obviously the work of a skilled binder producing a gift volume to represent the affection of the presenter and hopefully the cherished regard of the receiver.

Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2007 Hard Cover. 313 pp. Color plates by Alan Lee. The Children of Hurin, begun in 1918, was one of three 'Great Tales' J.R.R. Tolkien worked on throughout his life, though he never realized his ambition to see it published. Though familiar to many fans from extracts and references within other Tolkien books, it has long been assumed that the story would forever remain an unfinished tale. Now reconstructed by Christopher Tolkien, painstakingly editing together the complete work from his father's many drafts, this book is the culmination of a tireless thirty-year endeavor by him to bring J.R.R.Tolkien's vast body of unpublished work to a wide audience.

Description
New York: Oxford University Press, 2005. 7th Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. 6x4x0. Seventh printing. Small stain on half-title page. 2005 Mass Market Paperback. 131 pp. The recent discovery of the diminutive Homo floresiensis (nicknamed "the Hobbit") in Indonesia has sparked new interest in the study of human evolution. In this Very Short Introduction, renowned evolutionary scholar Bernard Wood traces the history of paleoanthropology from its beginnings in the eighteenth century to today's latest fossil finds. Along the way we are introduced to the lively cast of characters, past and present, involved in evolutionary research. Although concentrating on the fossil evidence for human evolution, the book also covers the latest genetic evidence about regional variations in the modern human genome that relate to our evolutionary history. Wood draws on over thirty years of experience to provide an insiders view of the field, and demonstrates that our understanding of human evolution is critically dependent on advances in related sciences such as paleoclimatology, geochronology, systematics, genetics, and developmental biology. This is an ideal introduction for anyone interested in the origins and development of humankind.
