19601002448New York: Simon and Schuster 1960. First edition second printing of this interactive drawing book for children. The editors argue that conventional coloring books are "insulting to children's imagination and intelligence." In contrast The Poetry-Drawing Book offers young readers the opportunity to illustrate the text of forty different poems however inspiration strikes them and to sign their original contributions: "YOU are the artist from here on." Featured poems include Edward Lear's "There Was an Old Man with a Beard" Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Swing" and Gelett Burgess's "The Purple Cow." A graphically intriguing example of the turn in the 1960s to a more child-centered model of art education in the United States. Spiral-bound volume measuring 8.25 x 11 inches: 68. Original color pictorial wrappers. "Note to Parents and Teachers" on verso of front wrapper.

19163744Elmira Printing Company 1916. BACON Alexander S. THE MILITARY PREPAREDNESS OF A GIANT. Elmira NY: Elmira Printing Company 1916. 12mo. printed tan wraps; 64 pages. Third Edition. The author a West Point graduate and attorney pens a treatise on America's preparedness for war and the involvement of the Masons "even house dogs sometimes go mad" in it. "At the conclusion of this war the United States will be the only first-class military power left." "The ideal American is a Masonic American the friend of all mankind a Big Brother ready to defend and help." And while this book apparently went through at least three editions none appear in the marketplace that I can locate. Inscribed by Bacon on the front cover "Compliments of Alexander S. Bacon." Also signed on the front cover by Volney A. Smith Esq." I have been unable to find any connection with either Bacon or Smith with the Masons. None-the-less an unusual and scarce essay on America's involvement in World War I. Very Good some loss top of spine contents clean & tight. Rare! $250.00. <br/><br/> Elmira Printing Company paperback books
