Description
New York: Random House, 1952 First edition, first printing. Publisher's black and tan cloth, with decoration to upper spine, white lettering to spine, and black top stain; in the original black pictorial dust jacket designed by E. McKnight Kauffer, lettered in white, yellow and red, with a portrait photo of Ellison to rear panel. Near fine book, with slightly cocked binding, a hint of wear to foot of spine, and bright lettering to spine; very good clipped dust jacket, with bright panels and spine, some shallow chipping to spine ends, a small scratch to spine, some edgewear including a one-inch split along front flap fold, light rubbing to panels, and lightly nicked corners. Overall, a pleasing copy of this classic of American fiction. Invisible Man is a picaresque story about a young and idealistic black man who faces surreal horrors as he journeys through 1940s Harlem. The book details the protagonist's experiences at college, working in a paint factory, and joining the Brotherhood (a thinly veiled allusion to the Communist Party). The title, "Invisible Man," refers to the social invisibility felt by the protagonist because of his race. In a 1952 review of the book, novelist Saul Bellow wrote, "it is an immensely moving novel, and it has greatness." The book won the 1953 U.S. National Book Award for Fiction, making Ellison the first African American to win the award. The book was also included on Time magazine's prestigious list of the 100 Best English-novels from 1923 to 2005.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

Description
SAMUEL COOPER (17981876). Samuel Cooper was the highest-ranking Confederate general during the American Civil War, serving as the Adjutant and Inspector General. Though born in New York, he aligned with the South, utilizing his extensive experience as the former U.S. Army Adjutant General to organize the Confederate War Department.DS. 3pg. August 5, 1852. Washington, D.C. A document signed S. Cooper outlining the graduates of the West Point Class of 1852: ...The following named Cadets, constituting the First Class of 1852, having been adjudged by the Academic Staff of the Military Academy, at the June examination, competent to perform duty in the Army, the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, has appointed them to Regiments and Corps, in conformity with the fourth section of the act of April 29, 1812, making further provision for the Corps of Engineers. The document then lists all the new officers, including Civil War generals Henry Slocum and George Crook. During this time, Samuel Cooper was adjutant general of the U.S. Army. This document serves as the official military announcement for the West Point Class of 1852, assigning them to specific regiments. Most graduates were commissioned as Brevet Second Lieutenants, meaning they held the rank and authority of a Lieutenant but were essentially in a waiting list status until a permanent vacancy opened in their assigned regiment. The Memorandum at the end highlights where the U.S. Army was focused in 1852: Oregon, California, Texas, and New Mexico. These were the frontiers where the military was most active following the Mexican-American War. Some people in this graduating class become major figures in the Civil War. George Crook became a prominent Union General known for his service in the Indian Wars. He commanded the U.S. forces in the 1886 campaign that leads to the defeat of the Apache leader Geronimo. Henry Slocum became a high-ranking Union Major General and commanded a wing of Shermans army during the March to the Sea. It has a central fold with pinholes.

Very Good- in Good+ dj
Description
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company. Very Good- in Good+ dj. 1932. First Edition. Hardcover. (with a Triangle Books (reissue) dust jacket) [a good sound copy with a touch of fraying at several corners, modest external soiling, slight fading to spine cloth, one-time owner's name plus date & place of purchase and a brief comment (all in ink) on the front endpaper; the jacket is a bit worn and soiled]. First edition of the fourth Ellery Queen mystery (generally regarded as one of the best of his first-period works; also one of the more uncommon), in which Inspector Richard Queen and his mystery-writing son Ellery are called upon to solve the mystery of the missing will of an elderly Greek man who was an internationally famous art dealer and collector, after his death. Their investigation leads them to believe that the will is hidden in the man's coffin, but when they dig it up and open it they discover a second body within, that of a strangled ex-convict, but no will. The mismatched jacket (which was on the book as we received it) appears to be from a relatively early (late 1930s) Triangle reprint, which accounts for the fact that (a) it fits the first-edition book nicely (1940s Triangle printings tended to be thinner and more cheaply-produced), and (b) that the artwork matches that of the first-edition jacket (later Triangle printings of books often used completely different jacket art). (A facsimile of the actual first edition jacket is available (not from us), however, should you wish to dress it up a bit more properly.) .
