191321854Oregon City OR: Grant B. Dimick 1913. Softcover. Very good. 9" x 12" pp. 171-194 stapled binding. Light soiling old dampstain to back cover but still very good. Single issue of this scarce magazine which billed itself as the "only journal on the Pacific Coast published in the interests of stock men" and "devoted exclusively to to livestock modern dairying methods and good breeding." It was founded in 1912 by Judge Grant B. Dimick a lawyer and Clackamas County Court judge who was then a well-known and highly respected citizen a condition that was not to last. He was a bank president head of the Willamette Valley & Southern Railroad and a five-term Mayor of Oregon City among other accomplishments. His agricultural bona fides came from his ownership of a 530-acre farm where he raised cattle sheep and pigs. The Journal offered practical advice and news for farmers as well as a healthy dose of Oregon and Pacific coast boosterism. It was published only until 1915 when it was purchased by and merged with the Western Farmer. Dimick went on to defraud as many as 500 people -- railroad men clerks storekeepers laborers widows and farmers -- in a Madoff-worthy scheme in which he sold fake mortgages securing clients by paying a higher-than-average interest rate and doing a disappearing act with a suitcase full of cash when his deception was uncovered. We locate issues of this journal only at the University of Oregon and Oregon State. Grant B. Dimick unknown

Publisher's blue cloth with gilt spine and cover lettering. blue endpapers. Very good no issues.A festschrift to this publishing giant who in some ways invented the coffee-table book. "As an émigré publisher from Vienna Paul Steiner became one of the first so-called “book packagers†of illustrated non-fiction books in the United States. From the 1950s on he exerted significant influence on the development of this book format in the country. Many of the illustrated books encyclopedias and guides to culture art history geography and nature he developed and produced for and in cooperation with notable American publishing houses—including the innovative wildlife identification books created in cooperation with the Audubon Society—set new standards in terms of quality and design. As part of the internationalization of the publishing business after World War II these lavishly illustrated publications were also distributed in the German-language market. Like his mentor the Hamburg-born pioneer of paperback publishing Kurt Enoch Steiner belonged to a generation of German-speaking immigrants who helped to shape the publishing business in the United States.Transatlantic Perspectives.
