"Squadron-Leader Tredrey takes the reader with him day-by-day through a three-month's course at the Central Flying School, where R.A.F. instructors are themselves instructed in the 'patter' which they have to hand out to their pupils later on. A book of this kind which conveys so exactly the pilot's own sensations and enthusiasms easily earns its place among the classics of flying." - from back flap of dust jacket which is laid inside back cover.

Edizione originale. Tutto il pubblicato (dal primo numero dell’aprile-maggio 1946 al numero doppio 3-4 dell’agosto- settembre-ottobre-novembre dello stesso anno) della rivista di letteratura e arte «Paesaggio». Esemplari in ottime condizioni, privi di particolari difetti da segnalare. Rivista fondata e diretta da Mino Rosi nel 1946 dedicata a scritti di arte e letteratura. Benché pubblicata per un solo anno - dall’aprile al novembre del 1946 -, «Paesaggio» merita di essere ricordato nella storia dei periodici del secondo dopoguerra grazie ai suoi contributi di alto profilo e alle eleganti immagini e litografie che arricchivano i fascicoli. Tra i collaboratori vanno almeno ricordati Saba, De Pisis, Del Buono, Milena Milani, Sinisgalli, mentre le litografie erano firmate da Tamburi, Gentilini, Gallo, Savelli, Sassu, Pulcinelli, Maccari, Rosi e De Grada. 3 voll.
In-4 gr. (mm. 372x275), legatura edit. in tela verde figurata a colori con titolo oro al piatto (lievi abras.), di pp. 12 cad. fascicolo, molto ben illustrato nel t. da immagini xilografate anche a p. pagina.

Diretta da A. Tironi con Angelo Zambelli redattore -responsabile, la Cronaca Turchina, settimanale, appare nel 1868 e si ha notizia di pubblicazione fino ad una data imprecisata del 1870. La Cronaca Turchina si presenta come giornale di libero pensiero e fortemente critico nei confronti dell’Amministrazione Veneziana e del Governo centrale, con feroci attacchi alla Magistratura più volte impegnata a condannare gli articoli pubblicati. Offriamo tutto il pubblicato dell’anno II, 1869, con il supplemento al n 44, con le seguenti lacune: nn 1 3 10 27 40 41 42 43. Molto rara.
Edizione originale. Tutto il pubblicato dal 1954 al 1958. Fascicoli in ottimo stato di conservazione, solo lievemente bruniti alle carte e con qualche raro, occasionale strappo alle brossure (numeri 1 - 2 e 3 - 4 del 1954 con dorso editorialmente non incollato ai fascicoli). Fondato a Napoli nel 1954, «Il Fuidoro. Cronache napoletane» rievocava già nel titolo la figura di Vincenzo D’Onofrio, scrittore partenopeo del XVII secolo che, con lo pseudonimo “Innocenzo Fuidoro” - anagramma del nome -, firmava la proprie opere, a partire da «I giornali di Napoli», raccolta destinata a riportare notizie legate alla città campana non priva di invettive satiriche contro i nobili locali. Similmente, il periodico diretto dal giornalista Massimiliano Vajro si proponeva di raccontare aspetti e personaggi della storia, della cultura, dell’arte e della vita napoletane con contributi di alto livello. Il primo numero (doppio) apparve nel maggio del 1954 per poi proseguire con numeri doppi o tripli fino al 1958, anno in cui furono pubblicati due soli doppi numeri: l’1 - 2 per gennaio-giugno e il 3 - 4 per luglio - dicembre.
Buon esemplare, leggermente consunto al mezzo dei fogli causa piegatura, ma senza perdite evidenti. Milano, in “Il Fascio. Organo dei fasci italiani di combattimento“ Anno I - N. 9 (Stab. Tip. Fed. Sacchetti), 1919 (18 ott.). 433x600 mm, un fascicolo di pp. 4 numerate stampate e illustrate in nero. -- Settimanale con gerente D. De Amicis. Bella testata illustrata da Firradini. Numero monografico sull’“Adunata nazionale di Firenze consacra lo sviluppo del movimento fascista. Impressioni e commenti“, tra cui la testimonianza dell’abilità oratoria di Marinetti - in una lunga colonna non firmata a pagina 2, che ’fiancheggia’ il “Discorso di Mussolini”. -- L’articolo condensa i temi toccati dalla conferenza marinettiana nel periodo dell’impegno politico futurista: anti-bolscevismo, “svaticanamento“, sostituzione del Senato con un “consiglio dei giovanissimi“, riforma della scuola in direzione non-professorale, “istituzione di mostre libere e gratuite del genio creatore [per] salvare così il dimenticato proletariato dei geniali che devono governare l’italia di domani“. A confermare quest’ultima asserzione marinettiana segue “La rivelazione di un oratore operaio“, incentrata sulla figura di tal Sommovigo. -- Interessante documento sulle origini del fascismo tra i transfuga del socialismo, gli arditi, gli interventisti e i futuristi. L’articolo precede il testo pubblicato in “Roma Futurista“ II, 45 (2 novembre 1919) e l’opuscolo elettorale a stampa “2 improvvisazioni di Marinetti” per le edizioni dell’ “Ardito” nel novembre ’19. Cammarota, Marinetti, 73.
Foxing in qualche pagina, ma nel complesso ottimo esemplare. L’Italia del popolo fu fondato a Milano da Giuseppe Mazzini. Il primo numero, con in epigrafe Unità Dio e il Popolo, uscì, in formato fo, il 20 maggio 1848. Ebbe vita breve; solo 74 fascicoli vennero pubblicati. Nel 1849 il giornale fu rifondato a Roma e divenne l’organo mazziniano della Repubblica Romana. Anche in questo caso il giornale ebbe vita breve: da Aprile al 3 Giugno. Con lo stesso nome, Mazzini pubblicò periodici a Losanna, (dove si erano rifugiati gli italiani dopo la caduta della Repubblica Romana) dal 1849 al 1850 e a Genova nel 1857. In questo primo volume troviamo scritti di: Mazzini, Pisacane, Saffi, De Boni, ecc.
Edizione originale. Ottimo esemplare (normali e lievi abrasioni ai piatti, piccolo strappo non deturpante al dorso, carte occasionalmente brunite). Estremamente raro. Bellissimo e famoso numero monografico doppio della sesta serie (1924) della rivista olandese «Wendingen» dedicato ai cristalli, con l’evocativa copertina ideata da Bernard Essers e numerose riproduzioni fotografiche in bianco e nero di sorprendenti solidi cristallini. Creata da Hendricus Theodorus Wijdeveld nel 1918, la rivista, legata all’associazione professionale «Architectura et Amicitia», nacque con l’intento di perseguire un ideale di comunione tra tutte le arti seguendo i “rivolgimenti” - “Wendigen”, appunto - propri di quegli anni di grande fermento culturale e politico. Una «totale riconciliazione delle arti», come scrisse nel primo numero il suo ideatore e capo redattore Wijdeveld, in cui l’architettura avrebbe dovuto giocare un ruolo ovviamente fondamentale ma non egemonico. Non sorprende, dunque, che dei centosedici fascicoli pubblicati tra il 1918 e il 1931 soltanto quarantasette vennero dedicati in modo esclusivo all’architettura, riservando invece estrema attenzione ai punti di contatto tra progettazione e creazione artistica (o alla progettazione messa al servizio della pura creazione artistica). Notevole fu anche la sensibilità verso la pittura simbolista e la “Nieuwe Kunst”, testimoniata ad esempio dall’ultimo numero della prima serie interamente incentrato sull’opera di Jan Toorop, tra i massimi rappresentanti in pittura dell’“Art Nouveau” olandese. Ma l’amore per l’arte in ogni sua forma espressiva è più in generale dichiarato dalle molte immagini che arricchivano ogni fascicolo - elegantissimo con il suo formato 33 x 33 cm e la rilegatura alla giapponese con rafia -, dalle illustrazioni a piena pagina e dalle meravigliose copertine affidate ogni volta ad artisti e architetti diversi.
In-folio, pagine (8), 316; 97 incisioni di cui il frontespizio, 15 tavole fuori testo, 5 carte. Legatura originale in mezza pella rossa, dorso a nervi con decorazioni, strappo all'ultimo scomartimento, titolo e tagli dorati, piatti in tela rossa.
Edizione originale. Piatti leggermente bruniti con piccolo strappo al lato superiore del piatto anteriore, carte pulite. Nel complesso, ottimo esemplare. Estremamente raro. Primo e unico numero della rivista di poesia a fumetti «Il poesia illustrato» a cura di Silvio Cadelo (autore dei disegni) e di Corrado Costa (autore delle didascalie). Uscito il 26 aprile 1979 questo ormai rarissimo fascicolo è dedicato al “poeta latitante” Nanni Balestrini, in quel momento già frettolosamente coinvolto nel famoso “processo 7 aprile” - che colpì centinaia di figure a vario titolo ricondotte dagli inquirenti all’area dell’Autonomia - e rocambolescamente rifugiatosi in Francia. Balestrini, qui ritratto nel momento della fuga, è rappresentato travestito prima da Trockij, poi da Mandrake e, infine, da “Signorina Richmond” (protagonista delle “ballate” dello stesso Balestrini e incarnazione insieme della Poesia e della Rivoluzione), beffardo e pronto a mettere in scacco con ironia il potere che avrebbe voluto rinchiuderlo e silenziarlo.
Prima edizione. Rarissimo fascicolo in ottimo stato di conservazione con rarissime fioriture e normali abrasioni non deturpanti alle pieghe del giornale. Timbro alla prima pagina. Composta nell’agosto del 1902 e pubblicata per la prima volta in volume nel dicembre del 1903 dall’editore Treves all’interno di «Alcyone» - terzo libro del ciclo «Laudi del cielo del mare della terra e degli eroi» - «La morte del cervo» fu pubblicata in anteprima sulla prima pagina di «Il Marzocco» del 31 maggio 1903. Fondato a Firenze nel 1896 e attivo fino al 1932, il settimanale letterario «Il Marzocco» si propose come luogo di difesa della “pura bellezza”, in perfetta sintonia con i principi dell’estetismo nazionale ed europeo. Non a caso, dunque, D’Annunzio non fu soltanto un fedele collaboratore della rivista ma anche uno degli estensori del suo manifesto, nonché l’ideatore del nome (voluto in omaggio al leone simbolo della Repubblica fiorentina).
