1960392967New York 1960. Hardcover. Very Good. Oblong quarto. Brown leather over paper boards with "Photographs" embossed on the front board. A collection of 132 black and white or color photographs affixed to stiff black paper as well as newspaper clippings and some postcards. Various sizes with most being 3.5" x 3.5". Boards are good only with tape replacing the spine chips tears and a few present but detached pages overall very good. The assemblage contains photographs and ephemera related to the dancing career of Joyce Pickens. Originally from New York Pickens traveled the United States and Canada performing at clubs and supplementing her income by staying on in some cities to teach the newest dance crazes to hip citizens. In an offprint of an article from a May 1964 Toronto Daily is a discussion of how the Discotheque trend had arrived from Paris and Pickens had stayed on to teach the dances dubbing her "Toronto's original discotheque girl." They quote her as saying "We're headed into another era like the 'roaring twenties.' When the big bands died people gave up going out to dance except at private parties. Now with the discotheque they can have all the variety and sounds they want. everything at the flick of a turntable switch." The photos show Pickens posing in a variety of costumes as a cowgirl a flamenco dress even a bikini and in numerous clubs and venues including California's Moulin Rouge Club. Also tipped in are business cards for some of the backing bands that she danced with such as Alfredito and his Mambo Orchestra Barry Del Rae and Andrew Alvarez. There are also a handful of curious drawings one of a hand-colored treasure map another pencil drawing labeled "Holiday Inn." The end of the album has small newspaper clippings containing advertising for costumers and nightclubs. An interesting and plentiful collection of the earliest gestation phase of the disco area. hardcover

192511317New York: Viking Press 1925. Sixth printing. Hardcover. Very good /very good. Octavo 299pp. A crisp clean very good or better copy in the publisher's blue cloth stamped in blind on the front board with gilt spine title. In the scarce dust jacket also stating "Sixth Printing" with some small chips to the spine ends darkening to the spine panel and a medium piece flapping at the base of the spine though intact; still very good and with no sophistications. Publisher's $2.00 price present on both the spine and the front flap. Joyce's first novel is very uncommon in the early printings and this sixth overall American printing represents the first done by Viking executed in the first year of that company's existence and as such one of its first publications. Heubsch which had published "Portrait" up to this point was acquired by Viking that same year and thus took over future reprints. Decidedly uncommon in dust jacket and--while a notable edition on its own--certainly also an appealing placeholder for anyone saving their pennies for the first American printing in dust jacket which will set one back five figures.

14180Shelton CT: First Edition Library 1983. Limited Edition. Softcover. Fine. Varying sizes; three books in four total volumes housed in publisher's clamshell boxes with applied leather labels as issued. A very fine set with no flaws except for very gentle bumps to some corners of the clamshell boxes; still a lovely gift-quality set. Each of these three books was published in Paris in English and distributed in a discreet or clandestine manner due to being banned in the United States or United Kingdom due to explicit sexual content. All three are very difficult to locate in fine unrestored condition and each commands very high prices at auction or in the trade. As such these facsimiles which are exact replicas almost to the millimeter of the first editions are adequate budget-friendly substitutes or placeholders. <br /> <br /> Though issued as a set we tend to find copies of these titles sold individually and they are often mistakenly broken up by unwitting booksellers or estate liquidators. A pleasingly intact set. First Edition Library unknown

Despite its later canonization the novel was widely banned upon release with distribution relying on subterfuge and smuggling operations to evade law enforcement. Despite these efforts large portions of the first February 1922 and second October 1922 printings were seized and destroyed. All but a handful of the third printing January 1923 met the same fate. Many copies were stripped of their recognizable wrappers or rebound into the new covers of unrelated titles as camouflage. The novel would not be legalized in the United States until 1933 and the United Kingdom in 1936. Copies from the 1920s are relics of an era when free speech in the arts was under threat.</p><p>Inventory ID: 938 - 402 - 895</p> Shakespeare & Company paperback

The second edition of the first work of economics in English consciously intended to be used as a textbook: as the author himself notes in a preliminary 'advertisement' the work was to be 'found convenient as a text book in those institutions of liberal education in which the "Wealth of Nations" makes an essential branch of their letters'. A lucid abridgement by English radical Jeremiah Joyce 1763-1816 of Scottish philosopher Adam Smith's monumental Wealth of nations it condensed the two thick quartos of the original edition London 1776 or the by then well known bulky triple-decker octavo editions of the late eighteenth century into a single convenient octavo volume.
