1937122606Atlanta 1937. unbound. 1 page 11 x 7.25 inches Atlanta June 29 1937. Rare letter signed "Margaret Mitchell Marsh" declining an invitation to a party because it conflicts with her wedding anniversary in full: "Dear Miss Hall: Sue Myrick forwarded to me your invitation and John and I appreciate it so very much. I know the party will be lots of fun and I only wish we could come but Sunday is our wedding anniversary and we have already made plans to spend it with friends. I admit that the temptation to break this engagement is strong because I liked Milledgeville so much when I was there at the Press meeting. And also I would love to attend your party as Prissy. That is the only role my size would warrant. The costume would be cheap too --just a croker sack and ten cents' worth of shoe polish. We do appreciate your invitation so much and I shall look forward to Sue's description of the party." Two horizontal folds and slight foxing; very good condition.<br/><br/> unknown books

197927400New York: S. O. 36 1979. First edition. Paperback. Very Good . Square photo-illustrated stapled booklet accompanied by two 45 rpm records in original sleeves. Luxus was the name given to the "band" formed by Martin Kippenberger Christine Hahn member of the legendary post-punk bands Malaria! and Mania D. and The Static with Glenn Branca and Eric Mitchell. The latter two being important artists in the No Wave scene in New York. This was the only release on the S. O. 36 label named for the nightclub Sud Ost which Kippenberger briefly managed in Berlin and which hosted shows by Throbbing Gristle Wire and other post-punk and No Wave projects. The record sold terribly upon its release - the record with street and background noises and the provocatively amateurish drumming of Kippenberger was a conceptual provocation not only to the average listener but even to most punks - a record undigestible to all. One anecdote has it that Kippenberger distributed remaining copies free at the closing of the club - and it has become increasingly difficult to find since especially complete with the booklet. All elements in at least very good condition. This item precedes Kippenberger's first solo show which took place in 1981. S. O. 36 paperback books
192919263New York: Mason Publishing Co. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1932 c.1929. Reprint. Hardcover. spine turned light wear to base of spine and bottom corners; jacket slighty faded at spine with tiny tears at several corners one-inch closed tear and associated creasing at top of front panel. An early reprint of the prolific Ms. Mitchell's first novel first published in the U.S. by Dial Press in 1929 in which a famous arctic explorer is found dead in a bathtub at an English country house -- and is discovered to have been a woman! Much I suppose like a purchaser of this book by "G.M. Mitchell" as she is called in the front jacket panel might have been surprised to have learned the author's gender only upon turning to the title page. As Michele Slung wrote of Mitchell she's "a special taste" whose work "has been little published in the United States since the beginning of her career yet to mystery readers in England who have followed the classic school she is practically an institution." Considered in her heyday to be in the same league as Agatha Christie or Dorothy L. Sayers she wrote a total of 66 books featuring psychoanalyst-writer-sleuth Mrs. Beatrice Adela Lestrange Bradley introduced in this book -- one or more every year until her death in 1983. As Slung also notes: "To put it mildly eccentric goings-on are Mitchell's hallmark" with much attention devoted to "witchcraft the supernatural and folklore esoterica." It might also be observed that very few if any long-running detective series have featured a central character whose creator has taken such pains to make an unappealing indeed almost repulsive figure: the very first mention of Mrs. Bradley in this her introductory exploit has another character describing her as a "little old shrivelled clever sarcastic sort of dame who would have been smelt out as a witch in a less tolerant age." And the author herself is scarcely more charitable writing of her "nasty dry claw-like hands and her arms yellow and curiously repellant" employing adjectives like "reptilian" and describing her more than once as resembling a "playful alligator." Miss Marple she isn't! . Mason Publishing Co. hardcover books
