Though nowhere so noted from the library of Arthur W. Stone. A rather unique event in photographic publishing Legacy of Light is a testament to the Polaroid camera: 205 striking photographs of which 105 are in full color by 58 photographers - and they don't look like any polaroid shots I ever took. Editor Constance Sullivan assembled the aggregation after reviewing hundreds of polaroids from public and private collections. The text include Schjeldahl's intro to the topic "The Instant Age" followed by four trenchant essays dealing with topical sections of the book: "Landscape" Greta Ehrlich; "Portrait" Robert Stone; "The Nude" Richard Howard; and "Object and Form" Diane Johnson. A large beautiful and meaningful work this copy signed and inscribed by essayist Stone and presented to noted collector A. W. Stone no relation.

196423238New York:: Random House 1964. First Printing of the First Edition. A Near Fine copy in a Fine extremely bright unclipped dust jacket. This copy is from the library of noted film director George Cukor with his bookplate on the front pastedown. In this collection Ralph Ellison examines his antecedents and in so doing illuminates the literature music and culture of both black and white America. His range is virtuosic encompassing Mark Twain and Richard Wright Mahalia Jackson and Charlie Parker The Birth of a Nation and the Dante-esque landscape of Harlem—“the scene and symbol of the Negro’s perpetual alienation in the land of his birth.” Throughout he gives us what amounts to an episodic autobiography that traces his formation as a writer as well as the genesis of Invisible Man.Not only is Ellison a great writer of fiction but he truly excels as an essayist as he displays in this fine collection of some of his best work in a non-fiction role. He is one of the most cogent and articulate writers in the arena of ideas and assessments of culture and the arts. Random House, unknown
