Description
(N.p.): Aperture, Inc., 1962. Bookplate to front pastedown. Faint toning to page margins, with slight pulling at head of spine (a problem endemic to this title) and minor discoloration to white boards. Overall close to near fine.. First Edition. Small quarto. Frederick Sommer's first book, entirely designed by him. Scarce issue in cloth, the first hardcover book ever published by Aperture, more commonly encountered in wrappers as issue 10:4 of Aperture Magazine. By some reputable accounts as few as 50 copies of the cloth edition were printed, although I think the number is closer to 200. (Roth 162–63).

Description
Paris: Printed for Private Distribution; Maurice Darantiere, 1928. First Edition. 1st edition in English, from the 17th century Japanese root. Original printed self wrappers, modest age toning, crease to the front internal wrapper, 1/8” of wear to spine’s top else near fine. One of 500 copies. A very scarce title and a Japanese classic of 5 tales about gay samurai, originally written by Ihara in 17th century Japan in his book "The Great Mirror of Male Love" ( ). Saikaku's "The Great Mirror of Male Love" (1687) illuminates a great cultural divergence between East and West regarding same-sex relationships in the early modern period. In 17th century Japan, Saikaku openly celebrated male-male relationships among the samurai class, documenting these bonds as an accepted and even honored aspect of warrior culture. This literary frankness existed within a broader Japanese cultural context where same-sex relations carried none of the theological stigma that dominated Western thought. While contemporaneous European writers like Shakespeare could only hint at homoerotic themes through carefully ambiguous language and classical allusions, Saikaku wrote with straightforward explicitness about samurai lovers. Christian doctrine's categorization of homosexual acts as grave sins made such openness impossible in the West, whereas Japan's Shinto and Buddhist traditions lacked comparable concepts of sexual sin. The result was a literary freedom that would not emerge in Western writing for centuries.

Description
New York: Random House. First edition. Fine/Near Fine. A Fine copy of the book in a Near Fine dust jacket. The jacket with the spine faded (as often) and with one short split to the front flap fold. "'All the tales are a variety of detective story,' wrote Bowles of this, his first short story collection, 'in which the reader is the detective; the mystery is the motivation of the characters' behaviors.' In such stories as A Distant Episode and How Many Nights, Bowles pushes human character beyond socially defined limits and maps a transformed (often horribly transformed) reality" (Vida). "Brutal and gorgeous, visceral yet perceptive, this timeless collection is one of the most profound, beautifully wrought, and haunting collections in our literature...at once austere, witty, violent, and sensuous" (Wolff). Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.

Description
Leiden: Brill, 2020. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. Octavo. xvi, 240pp. Index and 11 page bibliography. Brown boards lettered in white with yellow band at top. A fine, as new copy. Among the most important sources for understanding the cultures, religions, and systems of thought of ancient Mesopotamia is the large corpus of magical and medical texts directed against witchcraft. The most important of these texts is the Akkadian series Maqlû ("Burning"). [Maqlu is the longest and most important Mesopotamian text concerned with combatting witchcraft. It comprises eight tablets of incantations and a ritual tablet.] This volume offers a collection of studies on Mesopotamian witchcraft and Maqlû written subsequent to the appearance of the author's 2002 collection of studies on witchcraft (Brill, 2002). Many of the studies reprinted here take a diachronic approach to individual incantations and rituals and attempt to solve textual difficulties using literary-critical and/or text-critical approaches. (Publisher) Volume 17 of the Brill series, "Ancient Magic and Divination." (AMD).

Description
Berlin: Kehrer Verlag, 2015. First edition, warmly inscribed to a curator on the title page. With an autographed note signed and loosely inserted. A fine copy. 11 x 9.25 inches. 110 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original pictorial boards. "With her latest photographic series Jessica Backhaus examines, universal questions of human existence. Based on her own life story she inquires after the sig- nificance of knowing the roots of one's own existence and to what extent it is possible to re-elaborate these--usually prescribed--roots. With her photographs she symbolically captures the essence of this search and of her life stages. Simultaneously, she pulls off the balancing act of keeping the images open for the beholder. Her photographs possess metaphoric potential and work against the grain of a classic social documentary photography. They alternate between realism and abstraction" (the publisher).
