1992DEMO006065IStatesboro GA: The Boxwood Press 1992. First Limited edition. Hardcover. Fine. In a mahogany and copper scroll case with vertical slot and hidden crank handle; with a protective velvet cloth <br/><br/>Only 16cc.Remarkable bilingual presentation / re-interpretation of this Biblical work placing it in the the Reagan / Bush era. Illustrated with 16 color etchings by Bernard Solomon the translator and etcher. He realized there were remarkable parallels between the Biblical story of Esther and that of Anita Hill Clarence Thomas and the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. This interpretation unfolds sequentially as each leaf is unrolled from the 33 in. high scroll holder. The body of the scroll holder is one of the original copper plates used for the etchings which is why it is limited to an edition of only 16. The top and bottom of the handcrafted minaret-style case is finely shaped and polished mahogany by Anthony V. Mann. Designed with a hidden crank to rewind the scroll into the case. Altogether remarkable! The Boxwood Press hardcover
1967461782Rio Grande N.J.: Jumbo Discount Music Center 1967. Unbound. Fine. Flyer. Measuring 8½" x 11". Printed on yellow paper. About fine. The West Philadelphia-born Burke despite being one of the greatest transitional figures in the history of gospel R&B and soul was overshadowed by other stars but remains both one of the most important and least recognized figures in rock and roll despite his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Presumably he had to make many personal appearances in order to both promote his music and earn his living. Rio Grande is a small town at the Jersey Shore near Whitesboro which was founded as a planned residential community for African-Americans. This is a scarce and perhaps unique ephemeral documentation of one of those appearances. Jumbo Discount Music Center unknown

Dustjacket. xii; 297pp 1pp Biographical information to rear. Bumping to corners and spine ends some soiling of the white boards here and there in a scuffed and rubbed dustjacket with some creasing to edges and some areas of loss most notably the upper right corner of the front panel and a small triangle of loss to the rear panel. The printing process used for the dustjacket seems to have resulted in a very easily scuffed and rubbed end result with the majority of copies of this title showing signs of this.

A few years later Seay was indicted along with 88 other activist protestors for his involvement in the Alabama Bus Boycott and in 1960 he was once again indicted for his support of the Committee to Defend Martin Luther King and the Struggle for Freedom in The South and their part in the March 1960 New York Times full page advertisement entitled "Heed Their Rising Voices.

194320095Washington D. C.: The National research Council 1943. First Edition. Wraps. Near Fine. First Edition. We offer a nearly complete run of this important early computer serial: Numbers 1 2 5-59 66-70 each in the original wrappers as published. Small quarto and octavo sizes approx 12 inches shelf space. Occasional minor soiling. From the library of Frank M. Verzuh with his name on some covers. Wraps. MTAC is the first period journal devoted entirely to the literature of computation. The journal had a very small subscription base in the early years. Through 1946 it's subscription list was less than 350 readers. Many were discarded as computing advanced at a rapid pace. As of this writing Worldcat shows less than 80 institutions with even partial runs. <br /> <br /> The first volume contains lists and descriptions of printed tables where they were published as well as new errors discovered in the published sources. These errors introduced by humans whose job description were "computers" continued to appear until mechanical computers significantly reduced and eventually eliminated them. Large businesses military and financial operations used these tables to save time - so error notices were important. Later issues particularly in Volume 2 of this serial contained interesting and groundbreaking material related to the development of computers as we know them today. <br /> <br /> Previous owner Professor FM Verzuh attended the Moore School lectures and was a participant in early computering at MIT. The fact that this serial was still present on his shelf at his retirement is an indication of it's importance. <br /> <br /> Scarce in the marketplace. See Origins of Cyberspace 777 for a detailed description and history of the serial which was published in a total of 14 volumes until a title change in 1960. Important articles included in this run include Origins of Cyberspace 577 579 1077 and 1078. "MTAC remains the primary periodical source of information on the electromechanical and electronic digital computers designed and built during the late 1940s and early 1950s as well as on the scientific uses of punched-card machines mechanical desk calculators etc" It also served as a journal of record for the newly formed Association of Computing Machinery until the founding of their own journal in January 1954.
