190688451Chicago Ill: Charles H. Kerr & Co. London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co. 1906 1907 1909. First Editions First Printings. Three Volumes. Octavo. 22.5cm. Publisher's deep maroon ribbed cloth titled in gilt to spines and ruled in blind to boards. 869pp.; 618pp.; 1048pp. Generally strong and tight; mild scuffing and to spine ends and corners and a few minor exterior stains. Spine gilt is significantly oxidized to Vol II as is usually seen on the first printing; internally clean and fresh some very light spotting in places mainly confined to the page edges. A very good handsome set of first printings. <br /> <br /> A full set of first printings of this bibliographically complex edition issued over the course of three years. Marx published the first volume of his epic analysis of capitalism in German in 1867. The first translation into English was of Volume 1 only and was accomplished by Edward Aveling and Samuel Moore in 1887 based on the revised 4th German edition as edited by Engels. The 1906 first American printing under the Charles Kerr impint as here largely follows this translation with the subsequent translation work for Volumes II and III being performed by Ernest Untermann. Thus the earliest printings of the Kerr edition comprise the first complete edition of Capital in the English language. The printing was done in Chicago by James Higgins Kerr's printer of choice making this also the first complete edition of Capital to be printed entirely by a union-run print shop. Untermann did most of his translation work from remote Florida beginning the effort in 1905 discovering in the process a number of indices footnotes and at least ten pages of text that Aveling and Moore had not included in their London edition - making the Kerr edition the most complete up to its time. <br /> <br /> Kerr burned through the first two-thousand copy print run of Volume I almost immediately and rushed to get Volume II out by July 1907. It's very possible that financial constraints were already making themselves known by Volume II as Kerr was selling the books at a loss to encourage sales; the almost ubiquitous oxidation of the gilt on Vol II is likely a result of experimental economy that swiftly failed. Vol III returns to the higher standards of the first volume. The bindings on the first printings also feature a triple blind rule to the ribbed cloth boards with subsequent printings having double rules. Kerr's reprint system seems to have incorporated dates on the title pages for some length of time with the dates on the copyright pages remaining unchanged; after a certain point around the early 1920's reprints were issued without dates to the title pages and any volume without a date can safely be deemed a post-1920s reprint. Issues of Kerr's International Socialist Review from the period of printing recount in detail some of his problems and concerns publishing and selling the work with detailed data on dates numbers of copies and the firm's hopes for the completed book. <br /> <br /> Genuine first printing sets of this important edition are tremendously scarce in commerce. The lack of any real bibliographical authority for the American edition combined with Kerr's generally lax approach to differentiating printings has over the years led to frequent errors and misjudgments on the part of cataloguers including in full disclosure ourselves. After a good deal of research most in the advertising pages of the International Socialist Review we're confident we've finally got it right. Charles H. Kerr & Co.

Signed and inscribed by author upon front free endpaper to General R.E. Wood [1879-1969], under whose leadership Sears Roebuck was transformed from a mail-order to a retail sales behemoth. pp. [6], 7-90. "Communist plotters, in the United States as elsewhere, are preparing for the conquest of political power. The discerning student, however, should consider how interventionism, under various enticing labels, is setting the stage for the final overthrow of the voluntary society, the market economy and constitutional government. [This work], by a world-famous expert, will prove a valuable aid to understanding in this field. It will help to explain the errors of those who believe a system based on individual freedom can be 'mixed' with socialism." - Foreword. Book clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Binding tight.

A document which should have rocked the USA to its core but was squelched by the very powers it exposed. In the course of her duties as legal analyst for the Committee, Kathryn Casey was granted access to the archived minutes of the board of directors of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. According to the Committee's Research Director Norman Dodd, it was here that Ms. Casey discovered the board's conclusion that the best way to create world government, and permanent peace, was to involve the United States in a terrible war. The Reece Committee and its findings came to prominence decades later when Norman Dodd, Research Director for the Committee, came forward with stunning revelations of the Committee's findings. Printed for the use of the committee, this booklet contains pages 627-665b from the printed hearings. Includes 20 tables, 12 charts and 10 data sheets. Moderate wear. Unmarked. Crease to lower corner. A sound copy of this powerful document. Book

- s.l. [Paris] 22 février 1952, 21x27cm, 3 pages sur 3 feuillets. - Manuscrit autographe signé rédigé à l'encre bleue sur trois feuillets de papier blanc ; nombreuses ratures et corrections. "Si quelque part au monde le coeur de la liberté continue à battre, s'il est un lieu d'où ses coups nous parviennent mieux frappés que de partout ailleurs, nous savons tous que ce lieu est l'Espagne." Ce magnifique texte fut prononcé par André Breton le 22 février 1952 lors du meeting organisé par la Ligue des Droits de l'Homme Salle Wagram. Le discours sera ensuite publié dans Le Libertaire du 6 mars 1952. "N'oublions pas que le monstre qui pour un temps nous tient encore à sa merci s'est fait les griffes en Espagne. C'est là qu'il a commencé à faire suinter ses poisons : le mensonge, la division, la démoralisation, la disparition, qui pour la première fois il a fait luire ses buissons de fusils au petit matin, à la tombée du soir ses chambres de torture. Les Hitler, les Mussolini, les Staline, ont eu là leur laboratoire de vivisection, leur école de travaux pratiques. Les fours crématoires, les mines de sel, les escaliers glissants de la N.K.V.D., l'extension à perte de vue du monde concentrationnaire ont été homologués à partir de là. C'est d'Espagne que part l'égouttement de sang indélébile témoignant d'une blessure qui peut être mortelle pour le monde. C'est en Espagne que pour la première fois aux yeux de tous, le droit de vivre libre a été frappé." "Breton ne saurait rester indifférent aux évènements internationaux. En Espagne, le régime de Franco se maintient par la répression policière, mais il ne peut empêcher une succession de grèves importantes, animées par les organisations anarchistes toujours vivaces. En mars, onze meneurs sont condamnés à mort. Une campagne alertant l'opinion publique européenne se déclenche en leur faveur. Breton prend la parole au meeting organisé salle Wagram le 22 février 1952. Citant les grèves de Barcelone, lancées sur un prétendu mot d'ordre de la Phalange, il prophétise à terme une victoire totale. L'humeur des meneurs clandestins annonce la révolte contre la misère économique, contre le fascisme, monstre tricéphale qui a d'abord essayé ses griffes en Espagne."

1947182588Shexian: Taihang qunzhing shudian "Taihang People's Bookstore" 1947. Maoism made official First edition thus. Passed at the party's seventh congress in 1945 the constitution for the first time formalized "Mao Zedong Thought" as the guiding ideology of Chinese communism. Following the historic congress the new constitution was disseminated by local printers in the rural base areas under party control. This example was issued in the foothills of the Taihang Mountains near the capital of the strategically important Shanxi-Hobei-Shandong-Henan "liberated zone." In 1948 Mao took up residence in nearby Xibaipo where he lived until his triumphant entry into Beijing in March 1949. This first printing dates to September 1947. Subsequent printings appeared in December 1947 and several times in 1948 but they did not have a frontispiece. Rural printers had access to only the most rudimentary facilities and the vast majority of base-area publications have now perished. Octavo pp. ii 27 1. Half-tone frontispiece portrait of Mao decoration above table of contents. Text in Chinese. Original illustrated wrappers front cover lettered in black. Tidemark at head of volume spine worn split at head of front joint chip to front cover several gatherings uncut: a very good copy typical of publications printed in the Chinese Communist Party's rural base areas. unknown

Untrimmed. Otherwise a very good copy. Repaired by tape on the front cover's bottom corner. Yorulmaz's rare first Turkish translation of 'Das Kapital' has been the subject of many 'translation studies'. The most important work in the entrepreneurship of Yorulmaz's left thought repertoire that was published within his cultural series was 'Sermaye [= Das Kapital]'. Published as the 7th book of 'the Capital Culture Series', an abridged translation of Das Kapital by Karl Marx. Yorulmaz wrote about his translation: "I had an experience on these empty days and I am translating and publishing a loyal story of 14 volumes, "Das Kapital", collected by Gabriel Dövil. If this abridged edition is requested, I will finally begin with these 14 volumes, starting in June 1937, and translating four every year." Yorulmaz had translated 'Das Kapital' to Turkish from Gabrielle Deville's French translation which was an abridged edition. According to his comments, the purpose of Yorulmaz was, if this abridged edition is requested or demanded he would translate full text of 'Das Kapital'. However, he couldn't realize this dream. Nevertheless, the effect of the 'Sermaye' in the Turkish leftist thought had been considerable. As "Capital" was the first translation of "Das Kapital" into Turkish, it functioned at that time to fill the gap that existed in terms of socialist thought. He was concerned with knowing Karl Marx's thoughts, and therefore in his preface to 'Sermaye', he described his intellectual approach as "[one] sect which is one of the deepest thoughts and has made the biggest earthquake in the world in social and political life". In his preface, he wrote: "We have nothing but a small realized interference about Karl Marx's study in the law school in Ankara by Cavit Bey and the Turkish attorney Sükrü Kaya Bey, five to ten pages of translations." (Source: Haydar Rifat Yorulmaz'in çevirileri, (1908-1940): Bir sol düsünce 'repertuvari'nin kurulusu, Bilal Çelik). In the preface of the 1888 English Edition of 'Das Kapital', Engels says "I was told that the Armenian translation, which was expected to be published in Istanbul a few months ago, did not see the light of day because the publisher was afraid to release a book bearing the name of Marx, while the translator refused to show it as his own work.". (Das Kapital in Turkey, Savran & Tonak). Haydar Rifat was a Turkish lawyer, intellectual, translator and author. He brought the works of world-famous writers such as Emil Ludwig, Lenin, Gustav, Balzac, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Karl Marx into Turkish; he published his translations under the series titled 'Dün ve Yarin Tercüme Külliyati' [i.e. Yesterday and Tomorrow as Translation]. In addition, many articles he wrote in the fields of law and literature appeared in various newspapers and magazines. Not in OCLC.
