Description:
Dallas: Magnolia Petroleum Company, Field Research Laboratory. Very Good+. (c.1957). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket, as issued) [light shelfwear, spine cloth a bit faded, small ink blot on lower edge of text block]. (Colloquium Lectures in the Pure and Applied Sciences, No. 2, October 1956) Series If you need more of a description of the contents of this 189-page book than is provided by its title, then maybe this isn't really the book for you. I will share the author's charmingly self-deprecating introductory note, however: "These notes were prepared from tape recordings with relatively little editing. They furnish once again a conclusive proof that the arts of speaking and writing are vastly different and, perhaps, even incompatible. In writing one doesn't have the recourse to the most powerful instrument of a speaker -- the use of hands. In speaking one cannot conveniently refer to the learned and amusing treatise of Mr. Fowler on the proper use of… Read More

London: Secker and Warburg. Very Good in Fair dj. 1954. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. [light shelfwear, minor fading to cloth at spine ends, age-toning to edges of text block; the jacket is a bit tattered, with small tears and a bit of paper loss at all corners and at ends of spine, shallow chipping at top edge of rear panel, spine panel sun-browned, general light soiling and handling wear]. "This important new collection from the Kafka manuscripts housed in the Schocken Library at Jerusalem, under the editorship of Max Brod, contains at least two pieces of major interest. 'Wedding Preparations,' the title story, was never completed, but it significant in showing Kafka at the outset of his literary career, already a master of language, but still uncertain how best to handle his material. .... Even more important, because fundamental to any understanding of Kafka, is the 'Letter to My [sic] Father,' printed in full for the first time. Written at the age of 36, it… Read More

New York: The Junior Literary Guild and Random House. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj. (c.1941). Book Club Edition?. Hardcover. [some wear to cloth at both ends of spine, otherwise a nice clean copy with only light shelfwear, minor discoloration at top and bottom edges of both pastedowns and endpapers; the jacket shows a bit of light wear along the top and bottom edges (slightly more pronounced at the spine ends), with a couple of tiny closed tears]. (pen and ink drawings) A gypsy girl promises her dying father that she will go to college; she does, and has a tough time fitting in. "Mizela cannot help but look upon the Gajos, as gypsies call civilized people, and her own folk through different eyes." Then she meets "a handsome, attractive Gajo"; you figure it out from there. I haven't been able to uncover much about this author, other than the fact that she was born in Des Moines, Iowa, graduated from Ohio Wesley University, studied at Columbia University, and taught… Read More

Tokyo/New York/San Francisco: Kodansha International. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1980. First American Edition. Hardcover. 087011428X . [nice clean book with no discernible wear, very slight fading to cloth along top edge; jacket slightly scrunched and torn at top of spine, virtually unnoticeable in new jacket protector]. "A full-blooded, tough-minded, and intensely moving evocation of Vietnam in the mid-'60s, rooted firmly in the firsthand experiences of a former special correspondent who was, for a time, a 'guest' of the Viet Cong." As depicted in this novel, the Vietnam conflict "is a quieter war than the Vietnam of later accounts. Above all, it is an Asian war, witnessed by an Asian writer." (Originally published in Japanese in 1968, under the title "Kagayakeru Yami.") .

New York: Carroll & Graf Publishers. Very Good+ in Near Fine dj. 2002. 2nd printing. Hardcover. [remainder stripe on top edge, otherwise just minimally worn, with slight bumping to lower corners; jacket shows a bit of surface rubbing, but no tears or chips]. Yet another of the prolific Kaminsky's series of Hollywood-history-themed screwball-mystery novels, in which detective Toby Peters is hired (yet again) by some iconic Tinseltown figure -- in this instance, Cary Grant, who in real life (according to an Author's Note) "had been working as a special agent for the British Intelligence Services" since the late 1930s -- a fact (or factoid) from which the author spins a tale, set in 1944, in which Peters and Grant team up in pursuit of a murderer, which leads them to (among other things) "a nest of Nazi sympathizers." .

(B&W photographs) "It is commonly held that the House Un-American Activities Committee was the author of the blacklist. [This book] shows that the list had its seedy, obscure origins in the thirties and forties, in the F. Scott Fitzgerald days of Hollywood, long before Senator McCarthy and the HUAC rode herd on the liberal tradition. With new sources and anecdotes, [the author] follows the blacklist's high, arcing career through World War II and the Korean conflict to the early days of the Kennedy administration. Here are the adventures of the secular blacklisters, a forgotten group of admen, clearance specialists, private investigators and ex-FBI agents, who -- together with a… Read More

Comedy about "a group of young actors who have pooled their resources and hopes and live together in a Quonset hut in the Broadway theater district, [existing] by a system of mutual interdependence, until a heartless fourflusher joins them and comes near to putting their experiment out of business." The original New York production, under the sponsorship of Michael Todd, opened in 1950, with Scott McKay in the lead as the aforementioned fourflusher, and ran for just 28 performances; in 1959 it was announced by 20th Century-Fox that a screen… Read More

(no dust jacket) [moderate shelfwear, light soiling to covers, slight darkening of spine cloth; one-time owner's address label on front pastedown (and the same person's name and address rubber-stamped on bottom page edges), another one-time owner's signature at upper left corner of ffep]. Hard-boiled novel about life in the tenement district of New York's Lower East Side, "on the ragged edge of society where so much is bad, [yet] there is also good." The author's second novel; he continued to turn out gritty crime yarns with New York settings (including a number of paperback originals) for another decade or so. He appears to have stopped publishing around 1960, when he would have been only 49 years old; he also seems to have completely escaped the notice of bibliographers of crime fiction. Wha' happened, I wonder? .

[soiling and discoloration to covers, some deterioration to spine covering at spine ends, pages age-toned but not brittle; the binding is still solid despite this being a cheaply-made book]. (Teachers' Help Series) Series A classic of its day (although perhaps only in Tennessee), by the "Late Professor of Philosophy of Pedagogics in the University of Tennessee." This small book (just 94 pages) is a compendium of "bad boy" stories gathered from various teachers during a summer institute, which the author has synthesized (without losing its essential anecdotal nature) into a treatise on how to maintain order and discipline in the classroom. It's tempting to regard this as a relic of its age -- and indeed, some of the problems addressed, e.g. the "stove-huddling nuisance," are more than a bit arcane -- but at the same time, I think a modern-day teacher would likely find much… Read More

[nice tight clean copy, with just a touch of shelfwear; jacket shows minor wear at lower extremities, short diagonal crease at top right corner of front panel, a little wrinkling and a couple of tiny tears at top of rear panel]. In this novel, the author tackles the problems and pressures of suburban life. It concerns an editor for a "large and distinguished New York publishing house" who moves, for the sake of his children, to a bedroom community on Long Island, and although he "at first is glad to move from the 'upper Bohemian' East Fifties to a middle-class suburban community [he eventually] finds himself more estranged there than in New York." For some reason I can't quite fathom, the British edition of this book (published the same year by Gollancz) is much more common than the American. .
