Description:
[Miami, Florida], (1992). 38 jumbo drugstore print color snapshots, each approximately 6" x 4" on semi-gloss "KODAK" branded photo paper. Images with digital date stamp at lower right. All unmarked, about fine. More than three dozen original vernacular views of the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in or near Miami and shot on August 28, 1992, just four days on from its historic landfall in South Florida as a Category 5 Tropical Hurricane. At the time, it was the costliest and most destructive hurricane ever to hit Florida. The views here focus on a branch location of the department store Service Merchandise, likely the S. Dixie Highway location, according to our source for the photographs, the additional environs likely along the coastal highway which extends from Miami, south into the Florida Keys as State Highway 1. A searing primary glimpse into the aftermath of an historic Atlantic hurricane through the eyes of a retail worker attempting return to the job.

Description:
[Los Angeles, California]: [Clymer Motors], 1940. 4to. Textured card wraps. Mimeo illustrated front. Bound via three staples through a black cloth backstrip over spine. 31pp. Mimeo text, charts, and diagram illustration. Printed to rectos only (versos blank). Some pronounced creasing at spine. A faint line of wear down rear exterior wrap. Overall sound, well preserved. About very good-plus. An important pre-War mimeo-printed guide on open wheel race car building authored by a Kasimir J. Domark and sold through Floyd Clymer's then fledgling Los Angeles speedshop (this copy with the ink stamp of Clymer Motors to interior). The book serves as an authoratative guide to the scratch building of AAA and CSRA compliant midgets, sprint cars, and big cars. Likely one of the first publications of its kind, in almost certainly served as a how-to guide for the racers and car builders at the nexus of the pre-War SCTA drag racing, open wheel and hot rod scenes in Southern California.
