Description:
New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers. Very Good+. 1996. Second Revised Edition. Paperback. Noticeable bow to text block.; The book follows five boys as they grow and strive in Roxbury, Massachusetts in the racial and political turmoil of the late 60s and early 70s. In socially and physically decaying environments they developed different styles of coping with adversity. Despite some commonalities, they grew to be very different adults, and the Epilogue by Bernard E. Bruce traces the path from boy to man for each of the five. The Foreword is by Richard Majors, Research Fellow at Michigan State University. The author was an instructor in Sociology at The George Washington University. The President Emeritus of the publisher sums the book thus: "Pathways to Manhood is a major piece of work. It stands alongside the efforts of a very few sociologists - like Whyte and Liebow - who have taken the time and effort to study what is perhaps a core issue in American life, and to do so, straight, no chaser as… Read More

Description:
Westport: Privately Printed. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1929. Limited Edition. Softcover. Faintest sunning to the edges of the wraps. Tail corner of front wrap has tiny, light crease.; The author's essay on why limited editions should exist in the wide world of publishing, reading, and collecting. "Why do the heathen so furiously rage against limited issues, large-papers, first editions, and the rest? For there is certainly more to be said for than against them. Broadly speaking, all such 'fads' are worthy of being encouraged, because they maintain, in some measure, the expiring dignity of letters, the mystery of books." "If writers and publishers only gave a thought to what they are doing when they generate such large families of books, careless as the salmon with its million young, we should have no such sad alms-houses of learning as Booksellers' Row, no such melancholy distress-sales of noble authors as remainder auctions. A good book is beyond price;… Read More

Description:
London: Fulcrum Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1969. Limited/Numbered Signed Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Three short stories in Jeff Nuttall's 'cut up' style, written as if he had three piles of jagged, unrelated sentences that were put together with a sense of order. Reading like free verse compressed into prose, sometimes described as 'prose music,' assembling these piles resulted in the stories The Rain, The Train, and The Coast. Example: "George Gland, ritually, in deference to his being in the light, his weight against the water, his mounting inner density of indigestion and bladderpressure, soaped the minnow and smiled thin silibant against the doorstep -- water afternoon and tidal wattage." Copy 52 of a limited edition of 75. Numbered "52/75" and signed by the author, both on the limitation page. Preface by William S. Burroughs who appreciated Nuttall's avant-garde approach to poetry. An artistic polymath, Jeffrey Addison… Read More

Description:
Santa Barbara, CA: Unicorn Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 1971. Limited Signed Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. A few thin, dark marks to the paper of the back cover. Slightest bumps to the lower tips of the covers.; This poem is written in Levine's characteristic style of short, declarative phrasing and the lines speak in the voice of a child, the voice of an adult, and the voice of the wall, all presumed to be in Spain. The dedication references the girl Pili, the author's wife, and Spain, for which he had a long-standing fascination. Prior to his 2011 appointment as Poet Laureate of the United States, Philip Levine won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, the National Book Award, the Ruth Lily Prize in Poetry and the Wallace Stevens Award.

Description:
Boston: Little Brown and Company. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1937. 1st Separate Edition. Hardcover. Wear to all corners, spine ends rubbed, free endpapers and heads of leaves very faintly toned. Lacks the glassine wrapper, as most do.; Morley was Editor-in-Chief of the 1937 11th edition of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations and wrote this oh-so-typically-Morley Preface. In editing with collaborator Louella D. Everett, they focused not only on inclusion, but the exclusion of quotations that had outlived their usefulness. Of "Bartlett's" he said " This is in no sense a collection of personal choices. It is foremost a salvage of those words which users of the English tongue have shown evidence not willingly to let die." "Ancient footnotes that have come downstream through former editions have often been dropped when they seemed pointless: one remembers the man (I forget who) described by Dr. Johnson as having ‘a rage for saying something when there was… Read More
