Title: Taiwan banchi shashincho 臺灣蕃地寫真帖 [Photo Album of Aboriginal Areas in Taiwan] [or] Views of Campaign Against the Aborigines in Formosa (stamped in gilt on upper cover)]
Author: ENDŌ, Kanya 遠藤寬哉
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Three calligraphic plates, 4 photographic portrait plates, 2 color foldout maps, & 29 double-sided photographic plates, interleaved with thin paper containing printed captions in Japanese and English. Nine unpaginated leaves of text & one leaf of colophon. Oblong 4to (317 x 236 mm.), orig. cloth (some light dampstaining to covers & soiling). Taipei: Entō shashin kan [printed in Tokyo: Seibidō], 1912. First edition of this important ethnological and photographic record of the indigenous peoples of Taiwan, produced during the early period of Japanese colonization of the island. The album contains over 100 photographs, many of which depict the armed conflicts between the colonial government and the indigenous groups from 1907 to 1912, as the former attempted to expand its control over the island's natural resources. Other photographs depict the government's efforts to "civilize" the Ami, Bunun, Toin, Tsou, Paiwan, and other peoples through educational programs, as well as the island's natural and built environments. A very rare book: we locate only two copies in WorldCat, at the Huntington and the National Diet Library (in Japan). Taiwan has been inhabited by Austronesian peoples for thousands of years, but Chinese immigrants gradually came to dominate the island's western lowlands in recent centuries. The Qing empire ruled western Taiwan but treated its eastern part as beyond the pale. After Japan took over Taiwan in 1895, it attempted to rule the entire island and gain knowledge about the indigenous populations. Our album is notable for its direct portrayal of colonial violence and its accompanying ideology of assimilation. Photographs depicting Japanese artillery, military personnel and outposts are printed alongside photographs showing the destruction they inflicted upon indigenous populations and their settlements. These depictions are followed by portraits of "civilized savages" wearing Japanese attire; photographs of the customs, crafts, and attires of various indigenous groups; as well as photographs of indigenous children undergoing Japanese education and apprenticeships. The volume opens with a Preface by Shimotaira Takuji 下平卓爾, of Taiwan Daily News, dated Taishō 1 (1912), followed by a Preface of the editor [Endō Kanya?], dated to the same year. These are followed by a short essay on the "governance of aboriginals" (riban gaiyō 理蕃概要) by Okano Saitarō 岡野才太郎, from the Department of Police in the Government-General of Taiwan, outlining the history of colonization in Taiwan under Spanish, Koxinga, and Qing rule, as well as the present-day political organization, economy, and cultural practices of various indigenous groups on the island. Two color maps show the distribution of various indigenous groups on the island. The colophon at the end of the volume states that the work was printed on 25 November 1912 at the Seibidō in Tokyo and published five days later at the Endō Photo Gallery in Taipei. Very good copy, somewhat foxed. The last two leaves are worn on the edges. There are occasional handwritten corrections to the Japanese and English captions. Red collector's seal on front flyleaf reads 讀真[?]書齋長物.

Title: [Three Documents Concerning the Sale of Native American Lands in Oklahoma by the Federal Government]
Author: [Oklahoma]: [Native Americans]: [Curtis Act of 1898]: Adams Brothers, et al.
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Description: Oklahoma, 1911. Three documents (two printed broadsides and one typed letter): 12 x 6; 11 x 8.5; and 12 x 8.5 inches. Folded, with slight scuffing to some edges; one with notes in pencil. Otherwise excellent. Three documents concerning the United States government's auction of appropriated Indigenous land in Oklahoma following the 1898 Curtis Act. The Curtis Act was an amendment to the 1887 Dawes Act that extended its authority to the Five Civilized Tribes in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). These acts were essentially land grabs that also allowed the state to break up tribal governmental and social structures. Among other provisions, they allotted households or individuals in the tribe plots of land, and the surplus land was sold at auction by the government. The present group includes two broadsides and a letter concerning the auction of Choctaw and Chickasaw land in 1911. The earlier broadside is dated August 1, 1911, and was issued from Muskogee by J.G. Wright, the Commissioner to the Five Civilized Tribes. Here, Wright provides the date and location of auctions in each county for "unallotted lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations" to be sold at "public auction," and information about the terms of the auction. A previous owner of the broadside, perhaps a participant in the auction, has added numerous notes in pencil regarding population in various counties and other information. The slightly later broadside was issued by the Adams Brothers in Ardmore. They provide terms for the auction sale, noting land is being sold at a minimum of $8 per acre and that such lands are "considered as agricultural land for the purpose of this sale." Drilling for oil or minerals will not be allowed on any tract until "the full purchase price has been paid." In addition, the Adams Brothers remind potential buyers that both small and large tracts of land are available, to satisfy a range of needs (grazing, timber, farming, and more). The broadside also advertises services to prospective buyers, both in showing locations and in bidding on behalf of clients. It promises that if clients purchase land and improve on it they "will soon wake up to the realization that you are worth some money you can hardly account for." The letter comes from A. Hilton, passenger agent with the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Company. It advises A. M. Sawyer of Fort Recovery, Ohio, about the railroad's "Homeseekers tickets," which seem to have been tickets out to areas where these sorts of land auctions were happening. An interesting trio of documents encapsulating 20th-century efforts towards cultural assimilation of Indigenous Americans in Oklahoma, and spreading the wealth of the mineral richness of lands in Indian Territory, by dispersing their lands to the highest bidder.

Title: Valuable Cooking Receipts
Author: Murrey, Thomas J.
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: New York: George W. Harlan, 19 Park Place; J. Campbell, Printer, Vandewater Street, 1880. Square-back stapled book, (17 x 12.5 cm.), 128 pages. Index. FIRST EDITION. Author's first book, preceding the series of single-subject books published by Frederick Stokes for which he is more recognized. Murrey was the caterer of New York's Astor House and Philadelphia's Continental Hotel. The book is an amalgam of recipes for familiar New York and Philadelphia hotel fare, intermixed with articles pulled from various sources on subjects including baking powder, the glory of salads, why European versions of pies are inferior to the American, and the fabulous story of a meal of smoked shad, roast rump of salt beef, boiled potatoes, parsnip salad, home-made cheese, cold johnny-cake and acorn coffee, had while hunting in northwestern Minnesota, in the home of an old Down-East Yankee. Seeing that the meal lacked a salad, Murrey repaired to the woods, where he assembled a salad of dandelions, dock-leaves, milk-weed tips, and wild chives. Henceforth the displaced Yankee called Murrey "Weedeater". Later in the book, he lists these and other weeds, including fat hen, ox-tongue, jack-by -the-hedge, sea-holly, sea beet, shepherd's purse, sow thistle, hawk-weed, stinging nettle, willow herb, pile-wort, Solomon's seal, lamb's quarter, and others, stating these weeds, "once known... would be much sought after" (page 97). Also included are sections on table etiquette, banquets, and a collection of historical menus, "to show progress in the art of constructing menus in the last thirty years". A bit of edge wear to a few leaves of text block. Original publisher's decorated wrapper, depicting the lady of the house reading instructions from a cookbook to an African-American cook. ~ We have handled copies of this book both with and without a title to spine (this copy has the title). Erasure mark to front panel of wrapper; front spine panel separated at hinge; some chips and abrasions. Still, better than good, especially for a wrappered cookbook of this era. Scarce.

Description: Göttingen: Steidl, 2016. A fine copy. Oblong folio (36 x 29 cm) 31 color photographs. Cloth; slipcase. Additional photograph in cloth chemise. DELUXE LIMITED EDITION, number 25 of 50 copies signed by Burtynsky with an original photograph, from an edition of 150 (three sets of 50 copies, each with one of three images) plus 15 artists proofs. The additional image is that found of p. 4 of the book. "The images in this book are not about the battles being fought on the ground. Rather, they examine this ancient method of providing one of the most basic elements of our diet; as primitive industry and as abstract two-dimensional human marks upon the landscape." – Edward Burtynsky. For this series, the photographer traveled to Gujarat, India, to make images of the Little Ranch of Kutch, a region that is home to more than 100,000 salt workers extracting around one million tons of salt from the floodwaters of the Arabian Sea each year. "Salt has been their main industry for the last four hundred years. Receding groundwater levels and declining market values will in time make this way of life obsolete and will cause the salt pans to disappear." Taken from an aerial vantage point, some 500-800 feet about the ground, Burtynsky's images show a landscape of multi-colored interlocking rectangles, spanning across the delta: "Burtynsky’s photographs have become increasingly abstract as a result of his topographical perspective and fascination with finding similarities in the industrialized landscape to painting. Salt Pans continues in this direction with Burtynsky exploring the subtle modulations of tone and compositional balance of the pans, and the calligraphic tracks from vehicles referencing scale and human activity.

Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: [N.p., but California, 1934. Very good.. Broadside, approximately 11 x 5 inches. Previously folded. Minor wear and soiling. Scarce campaign literature in support of Frank Merriam but primarily against Upton Sinclair in the 1934 California gubernatorial election. Sinclair had formerly run for Congress as a Socialist, but won the Democratic nomination for this race, and although it was his most successful showing amongst his attempts to gain political office, he was still handily beaten by Merriam the Republican. Sinclair's platform during the race, End Poverty in California (EPIC), drew harsh criticism from conservatives as a Communist confiscation of private wealth, and grew more unpopular as migrants fleeing the Dust Bowl poured into California. The present broadside assails Sinclair's proposals for industry and agriculture in California, asserting that he will tax large farms and businesses out of existence, thereby losing the jobs of his putative working-class voters, and attacking his plan to provide jobs through state-run collective farms and factories. "Mr. Sinclair is not an industrial manager. He has never managed anything but a fountain pen and a typewriter.... Do you want to trade the ACTUAL job you hold now for one of Mr. Sinclair's DREAM jobs? Do you want to vote YOURSELF OUT OF A JOB? For Mr. Sinclair promises to smash the industries and businesses that now provide YOUR JOB. His program is to make MORE JOBLESS." We locate only one copy, at Berkeley.

Condition: About a two-inch closed tear just entering the text on the left margin; light wrinkling. Very Good
Description: Letter. About a two-inch closed tear just entering the text on the left margin; light wrinkling. Very Good. An interesting SIGNED letter from Belafonte to Brooks Atkinson, drama critic of the New York Times, dated 19 May 1955. In this letter of @250 words, the singer and actor wishes to clarify that a letter sent by him a few days before is not misunderstood. Essentially, Belafonte wants Atkinson to know that, despite an earlier report to the contrary, the contemplated closing of his show "3 For Tonight" is not related to his Las Vegas engagement. Adding to the interest are numerous pencil notes and corrections that attempt to tame the tone of the words, either by the singer or his agent, Jay Kennedy, from whose estate this letter came, indicating that this version, at least, was never sent. Belafonte, one of the world's most popular entertainers, starring not only in music but in the theater and film as well, was also the first, and for some time the only, black producer in television. He was also very active in the civil rights struggle, bailing Martin Luther King, Jr. out of the Birmingham City Jail and a few years later helping to organize the March on Washington.

(no dust jacket) [front hinge a little weak, but otherwise a good sound copy, with some spotting/foxing on the top edge of the text block; small vintage bookplate on the front pastedown]. (B&W plates) A biography of the author of the children's classics "The Secret Garden," "A Little Princess," and "Little Lord Fauntleroy," written several years after her death by the younger of her two sons (who was said to have been the model for the latter character). Obviously Vivian had unfettered access to his mother's papers -- the book quotes extensively from her correpondence -- but his obvious high regard for her, unfortunately, doesn't seem to have compelled him to place them in an appropriate library or archive, as an online search turns up no such resource. (In a rather fanciful introduction -- actually titled "Fantasy" -- he asserts that her creative nature was due to her having been "partly a fairy, [as] she herself was quite willing -- even eager -- to admit." He goes on to spin a tale of how his mother, "a princess," had been visited upon her birth by a gaggle of fairies, who showered her with their blessings and imbued her with her many fine qualities.) .

ISBN: 9780140433340
Condition: Fine
Description: New York: Penguin Classics, 2014. Reprint. Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket. 1x5x7. Reprint. Brand new from publisher. 2014 Hard Cover. lxiii, 446 pp. Edited, with an introduction and notes, by Christine Alexander. Austen's hilarious early stories and sketches - complete with her delightfully quirky spelling habits - now collected in one gorgeous clothbound volume, including Lady Susan, the basis for Whit Stillman's feature film Love and Friendship starring Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny. Jane Austen's earliest writing dates from when she was just eleven-years-old, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work. But it is also a product of the times in which she grew up - dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous. Drunken heroines, babies who bite off their mothers' fingers, and a letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these highly spirited pieces. This edition includes all of Austen's juvenilia, including her "History of England" and the novella Lady Susan, in which the anti-heroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. With a title that captures a young Austen's original idiosyncratic spelling habits and an introduction by Christine Alexander that shows how Austen was self-consciously fashioning herself as a writer from an early age, this is a must-have for any Austen lover.
