20060001772OAKLAND CALIFORNIA CA 'OAK TOWN'. Very Good. 2006. On offer is an absolutely fascinating pair 2 of startlingly candid and intimate contemporary manuscript diaries handwritten by a 'Chola' girl providing an unparalleled look into the life of a Latina woman living and loving within a gang. Dated November 12th 2006 through January 10th 2010 one reads of sex drugs court dates made and missed children multiple sexual partners and the internal politics of gang life. Due to the fact the books are contemporary we decline to name the woman fully in the description but she is identified in the diaries. Interestingly she always signs her entries 'Baby Girl'. From the mundane of buying her man boxers socks and wife beaters buying drugs taking drugs hanging curtains to servicing him sexually except after he comes directly from another woman and still smells of her dealing with her children and his infidelity the reader comes to understand that she is not happy. She admits that things have gone downhill since another lover went to jail. At one point we read of a potential altercation brewing as another woman accuses her of being a prostitute and ones expects to read that some violence between them will occur but it seems to fade away. Researchers and historians of the time and place will relish the intimacies she writes as they all point to a life that 99% of the world can only guess at or assume from the few movies about gang life. This is really one of the most extraordinary diaries we have read. While we did not find a specific reference to Oakland California she mentions 'Oak Town' and refers to a number of locations that clinch the fact she is in Oakland. The first book is almost entirely full and the second a bit spottier but a gripping narrative throughout.

194817720<p>Denver: Colorado: Denver Public Schools Board of Education 1948-52 A fascinating look at education in America during the early years of the Baby Boom. Seven brochures 9 x 6 in. folded. The brochures are as follows: Where Will I Go to School September 1952; O.J. Goldrick Would Be Surprised May 1952; Some Very Important People April 1952; There's More to Reading Than Meets the Eye April 1949; two copies of Schools Must Follow the Moving Vans April 1948; They're Already Knocking at Our Doors! April 1948. Printed in black and one color each with vignettes and maps of the Denver area. The text of There's More to Reading Than Meets the Eye is attributed to A. Helen Anderson and the illustrations to Hero L. Conesny. Some toning to a couple brochures. Contemporary ink signature of Carol Weale a lifelong Denver resident and educator in each brochure. Contemporary ink marking to one brochure. Still a near-fine set of rare brochures. These brochures were issued as the postwar baby boom hit Denver and the rest of the country. Twice as many children were born in the city in 1950 than in 1940 10440 children compared to 5462 according to the Where Will I Go to School brochure. The population of Denver also increased by nearly a third between 1940 and 1950 going from about 322000 people to almost 416000. The population increase strained Denver infrastructure requiring the installation of "thousands of new water taps and miles of new water mains" as well as "thousands of new telephones gas and electric meters…and thousands of new homes on the tax rolls" Where Will I Go to School. Denver public schools were pushed to capacity by the flood of new students and these brochures address the efforts of the Denver school board to increase school capacity and keep schools staffed. The brochures also address literacy and changing educational standards between generations see There's More to Reading Than Meets the Eye. The O.J. Goldrick brochure refers to a Denver folk hero who was the city's first schoolteacher and helped establish early infrastructure like the first library Sunday school and newspaper and wonders whether he would be surprised by Denver's recent growth.</p> Colorado: Denver Public Schools Board of Education,

18945648Lacon Illinois 1894. Handmade baby book on watercolor paper stitched at spine measuring 200 x 160mm and slipped into a folded sheet measuring 250 x 170mm. External wrap with a lovely original watercolor floral with the name Geraldine; tender with splitting along foldline. Baby book comprised of 16 leaves of manuscript and original pen drawings to rectos only. Additional 4 pieces loosely inserted include: a handwritten card from Carrie Bartlett with The Baby poem pinned to footer two child hand-tracings at various ages and a description of Geraldine's sixth birthday party and gifts on State of Illinois Senate Chamber letterhead. A beautiful testament to the bond between a 19th century mother and her first daughter as well as to her own artistic care and creativity. <br /> <br /> Jennie Richmond's excitement over each of the early moments of her first daughter's life is lovingly documented in this unique manuscript. Detailed and lovely half and full title pages open the piece with Jennie using red ink to create floral and cupid motifs and lines for manuscript text; to this she adds in dark ink and entries about Geraldine's infancy. These are no less detailed than the illustrations. "Born at Lacon Ill on Tuesday the 18th Day of April 1893 at the hour of 1.20 O'clock A.M. unto Mr. and Mrs. Richmond" this initial entry also includes the autographs of the parents as well as the attending physician and nurse. She weighed "five pounds and one half." Geraldine's "first picture was taken at five and one half months by Grant Rose. Oil painting made by Jennie L. Fitch.First tooth when ten months old. Learned to creep forward when the metronome was put before her. First step July 7 when almost 13 months old. Plaster of Paris hand taken when 3 months old." Geraldine's first bath a lock of her hair her first ring -- these and so many other tiny moments are made monumental in this book. It becomes clear not only that Geraldine is adored but also that she is surrounded by art music and intellectual activity. Jennie's husband Elijah an attorney afforded them a comfortable lifestyle that could allow all this. Census records show that Jennie and Elijah went on to have three more children -- all sons. And on being widowed Jennie took up living with Geraldine in a single household. Geraldine by 1940 had become a music teacher with her own studio.<br /> <br /> A lovely unique and research rich piece touching on the history of maternity the history of infant education women's domestic lives women's education and art and genealogy among other fields.<br /> <br /> U.S. Census 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940. unknown

1920126251N.p.: N.p. 1920. Original Art-Nouveau style illustration of actress Bebe Daniels painted on pressboard circa early 1920s noted as starring in "Adam and Eve" with Jack Holt. <br /> <br /> There is no record of either Daniels or Holt starring in a film either titled or with the working title of "Adam and Eve" nor could we find any news sources for a proposed production with that title. The only two films starring both Daniels and Holt are "Ducks and Drakes" 1921 and "North of the Rio Grande" 1922. A beautifully executed illustration of the young actress likely as lobby art for a silent film theater.<br /> <br /> Bebe Daniels was a noted actress singer dancer writer and producer who appeared in over 230 films over her 50 year career in film. Daniels began her career as a child actress in silent films and later became a star in musicals such as "Rio Rita" 1929 directed by Luther Reed and co-starring John Boles.<br /> <br /> 17.75 x 25 inches pressboard 1/2 inch thick. Very Good with five screw holes a chip to the lower left corner and a crack to the upper left corner mended on the verso with paper tape and cello tape. N.p. unknown
