Signed by Frey Richardson and Prince. <br/><br/>"JMc & GHB Editions has announced their forthcoming publication James Frey’s Wives Wheels Weapons. Published as a companion volume to Frey’s latest novel Bright Shiny Morning Harper Collins 2008 Wives Wheels Weapons is an artist’s book which excerpts three stories “Wives” “Wheels” and “Weapons” from Frey’s novel and presents them alongside a photo essay response by photographer Terry Richardson. Both writer and photographer are known for their fascination with the seamier side of life so not surprisingly the results of their collaboration are more than a little provocative. <br /> <br />Against the murky backdrop of the city’s one-night stand hotels and pornographic sub-culture “Wives” relates the tale of a sex-driven affair between a congressman’s wife and a high school teacher. The U.S. edition of Bright Shiny Morning will not carry the steamy “Wives” vignette but it will be included in the forthcoming U.K. edition. “Wheels” follows the rise of the car-dominated culture of L.A. the development of the surrounding super highway infrastructure and the emergence of illegal late night car racing introducing us to the mysterious figure of the “racemaster” orchestra or of these illicit nocturnal do-or-die contests. “Weapons” explores the complicated culture of gangs and crime their initiation rites power hierarchies and ruthless strategies as well as describing a genealogical topology of former and current gangs of L.A. <br /> <br />Balancing on a knife-edge of sustainability Frey’s L.A. is an apt symbol of contemporary Western mores and the dilemma of the 21st Century urbanite. Hovering however above the dismaying profane facts of urban existence is the grand spectral romance of citification the dream of civilized streamlined functional mass co-habitation a fallen yet potent ideal. <br /> <br />Photographer Terry Richardson’s spirited images discover this idealism in a typically bold and colorful style. The mood is defiant the sitters resilient and self-assertive. Here the “Wives” and mothers – a selection of women that might be lewdly characterized by the acronym MILFs – show an insistence on the sexual self amidst the routines of domesticity an assertive response to the annihilating mores of impersonal social decorum. Richardson’s “Wheels” documents the exuberant culture of automobile customization in contrast to the grim tedium of what most urban travel essentially demands. “Weapons” while documenting styles and postures of gang members invokes the dream of personal empowerment and the ideals of success born out of the ghettoes of desperation and failure." from copyleft.com JMc & GHB Editions hardcover books
1905009031Spooner Wisconsin 1905. Card. Very good. Four card-mounted photographs each measuring approximately 7" x 5". One of the cards is blind-stamped "L. L. Richardson Spooner Wis." and one has a later annotation on the reverse "Shell Lake Lumber / Spooner Wisconsin." The photographs are in nice shape; there is some wear and soiling to the cards; one card has a marginal dampstain. The photographs show: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Seven lumberjacks posed on a small dock with an axe adze and two-man crosscut saw <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Five lumberjacks resting on a large log in front of what appears to be a very large hoist or crane <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Two lumberjacks posing in front of a 15-foot high log pile taking a break from stripping bark and <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Two lumberjacks posing with a two-horse team in a snowy clearing. <p>L. L. Richardson was a Walworth County photographer who worked from a shop in Spooner between 1905 and 1906. <br /><br />Shell Lake Lumber was the largest lumbering company in the region during the early 1900s. The rivers and streams in this area of Wisconsin were not suitable for transporting logs so the area's forests remained virtually untouched until the arrival of the railroad in 1880 after which a large sawmill was built. The company operated a number of mobile logging camps throughout the region that moved from place to place to harvest new stands of timber. The yellow pine harvested by Shell Lake was highly prized and commanded a significant premium for its superior girth height and exceptionally straight and clear bodies. <br /><br /> books

18282305169Exeter: Josiah Richardson 1828. First Edition. First Edition. Good/No Jacket. First edition. Lacks title labe 1 inch chip from spine head boards rubbed stain to bottom half of final Family Guide section and a few pages preceding it all text still legible. 1828 Full-Leather. 468 24 pp. 12mo. Original full leather. A collection of remedies for both animals and people including some herbal treatments. Two separate indexes to the various receipts follow the text of their respective sections. "A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care including the trimming and balancing of a horse's hoof and the placing of shoes to the horse's foot. A farrier couples a subset of the blacksmith's skills fabricating adapting and adjusting metal shoes with a subset of veterinary medicine knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the lower limb to address the care of the horse's feet. At one time farrier and blacksmith were all but synonymous. A farrier's work in colonial America or pre-Industrial Revolution Europe would have included horseshoeing as well as the fabrication and repair of tools the forging of architectural pieces etc. Today farriers usually specialize in horseshoeing focusing their time and effort on the care of the horse's foot. For this reason farriers and blacksmiths are considered to be in separate albeit related trades. A farrier's routine work is primarily hoof trimming and shoeing. In ordinary cases it is important to trim each hoof so that it retains its proper orientation to the ground. If the animal has a heavy work load works on abrasive footing needs additional traction or has pathological changes in the foot then shoes may be required. Additional tasks for the farrier include dealing with injured and/or diseased hooves and application of special shoes for racing training or 'cosmetic' purposes. In cases of horses with certain diseases or injuries special remedial procedures may be needed for the hooves and then special shoes may need to be constructed and fitted.

The first mass-market manufacturer in the United States was Richardson & Boynton established in 1837 and in business for more than a century thereafter. The company survived the competitive surge in home heating manufacturers in the decades after the Civil War Fuller & Warren of Troy for instance also advertised as "the oldest house in the trade" introducing innovations in fuel source efficiency flue design cleaning access and model size - to say nothing of aesthetic appeal - at a surprising rate. The foundries and shop buildings occupied a double block in Red Hook Brooklyn; corporate offices 232-234-236 Water Street were across the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. By the 1890s Richardson & Boynton were advertising themselves as manufacturers of multiple designs of furnaces fireplace heaters laundry water heaters cooking ranges stoves and kitchen appurtenances such as kettles urns pastry ovens and steam tables. Owing ostensibly to climbing tunnage and wharfage costs the entire operation decamped to Dover New Jersey in February 1896. Elaborate illustrations with equally elaborate cutaways; specification charts. A bit of chipping to head and foot of wrapper at spine otherwise very good in two-toned brown wrappers with gilt decoration. Pages clean and bright. Scarce.
