1951568634Boston: Little Brown & Co 1951. Softcover. Near Fine. Gelatin silver photograph. Measuring 8" x 10". A photograph of a sketch of J.D. Salinger by artist E. Michael Mitchell who provided the iconic cover illustration that appeared on the first edition of The Catcher in the Rye. The illustration shows Salinger from behind a partial profile of the exceptionally reclusive author. Near fine with very light creasing at the tips of all but one corner and light toning or offsetting to a portion of the back of the photo.<br /> <br /> We could find no other examples or references to this image of Salinger being used to promote his writing but note that the original drawing appeared in an exhibition of his manuscripts and personal items at the New York Public Library in 2019 in celebration of his 100th birthday. Salinger famously demanded that - despite Catcher being his first book - the publisher not send review copies to critics he not do press interviews even after becoming a Book-of-the-Month Club selection and his author photo be removed from the dust jacket. The incredulousness of his requests prompted the Little Brown Vice President D. Angus Cameron to intervene asking the first-time author: "Do you want this book published or just printed" Sensing the precariousness of the situation Salinger fell in line for the last time.<br /> <br /> We speculate that this drawing by Mitchell was created in the hope that it could be used by Little Brown in place of an author photo whether for Catcher or one of his next few books. Regardless a compelling and rare image of Salinger created by his longtime friend and clearly indicating his need for privacy. Little, Brown & Co unknown
7765Various: Philosophical Library; et al. First Edition. Original wraps. Very Good/Very Good. I think I've reached the point that I'm convinced enough of the reality of the ET presence and I'm not going to deny it and shy away from it. It is time to open this up to the public." - Edgar Mitchell<br /> <br /> Interesting eight book archive from the personal collection of Astronaut and Moonwalker Edgar Mitchell. All books on the subject of psychic exploration which Mitchell was famously involved in. Late in 1973 and early 1974 Mitchell co-founded the Institute for Noetic Science. The Institute conducts research on topics such as spontaneous remission meditation consciousness alternative healing practices consciousness-based healthcare spirituality human potential psychic abilities psychokinesis and survival of consciousness after bodily death. Edgar Mitchell was widely recognized for his public stance on the existence of UFO's and the powers of the mind. He believed that the bridging of science and the power of the human mind represented the key to our discovering the worlds outside our own. The subject of Noetic Science has flourished of late thanks to it's use in Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" which was published in 2009. No longer considered "fringe" science by most Mitchell was one of the early believers in the powers of meditation and collective thought. <br /> <br /> Archive Includes:<br /> 1 Gill Joseph - The Great Pyramid Speaks to You Philosophical Library 1984 - SIGNED TO EDGAR MITCHELL BY AUTHOR<br /> 2 Gignous Jane Hughes - Some Folk Say: Stories of Life Death and Beyond FoulktTale Publishing 1998 - SIGNED TO EDGAR MITCHELL BY AUTHOR<br /> 3 Friedman Norman - Bridging Science and Spirtit Living Lake Books 1994 Revised Edition - SIGNED TO EDGAR MITCHELL BY AUTHOR<br /> 4 Mayur Ed.
