198081760Moscow: Tushino Machine Building Plant 1980's. Pasteboard box 44cm x 23cm. Name printed in stark black and white onto a stereotypically minimalist Soviet box all the more susrprising considering this is a toy for children. Light inoffensive wear to the extremities a little rubbing and scuffing to the corners clean and complete. The verso of the box lid contains a plan of the contents with item numbers and small illustrations. Inside the box liner is moulded polystyrene with spaces for the individual components ranging from pressed steel baseboards and wall/hull sections to a set of rubber tyres woven string to simulate hawsers and cables pulleys connecting rods all the necessary tools a bag of nuts bolts and other connector pieces; all mass produced in a fashion that would have even a cursory modern day child safety inspection shutting down the whole plant and issuing a warning that if your children get this for Christmas you might need to count their fingers on Boxing Day. Miraculously complete as far as can be ascertained and with very little sign of use including the plans and construction book which is complex enough to count as aggressively educational and has the original warranty sheet with inspection stamps hand stamped and dated 1992 although the slip dates the set to the 1980's laid in. The introduction to the set in the 62 page instruction book states: "The 'Yunost' contruction set is a game designed in 1944 to introduce children aged 10-15 years to the principles of technical design and construction engineering. Each set of the 'Yunost' construction set contains the most intricate parts intnded for assembling models of various mechanisms machines and industrial structures."<br /> <br /> Clearly designed as a controlled Soviet alternative to Western toys like Erector Sets Meccano and the like the principles are identical whilst the delivery is rather more tailored to a deliberately educational USSR approach to entertaining children. "Nothing without purpose" seems to have been the guiding tenet of USSR toy production approaches which became notorious for taking an existing Western temptation like Meccano or Lego or GI-Joe and adapting them to the requirements of collective adherence to the improvement of the USSR. To Western eyes a lot of this material looks like the physical representation of the "We have McDonalds at home." meme but whilst Western toy design was aimed as much at keeping kids quiet and out of the way with a side of education the Soviet philosophy seems to have been 'if a child is building a toy crane then he should be learning the principles of load bearing members understanding pulleys and getting an idea of where crane operators fit into the process of industrial engineering' whilst this approach seems to take some of the joy out of play time it also contributed to the Western paranoia that the USSR was basically a cradle to grave enemy factory.

Crosby was best known for his long-running comic strip Skippy. By the late 1930s the cartoonist/author's political and philosophical leanings had worked their way into the Skippy comics and he wrote scathing editorials against Roosevelt policies though he had earlier voted for him. Alcoholism and tax problems began to destroy his personal life and he spent his last 16 years institutionalized. Crosby has much to say about Roosevelt. Freedom Press Paperback

19452353New York: New York Labor News Co. 1945. 4th Printing. 12mo 7 1/4 x 5 inches; 184 x 126 mm 39 9 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /><br />Ferocious attack on William Z. Foster a longtime senior official of the Communist Party who gets tagged as a "war monger" "liberty bond salesman" "fraud" "Anarchist microbe" "mediocre personality" and similar terms of endearment. The Socialist Labor Party which the author led was a bitter foe of the Communists. <br /><br />This pamphlet was originally issued in 1932. Our copy is the 4th printing from August 1945 presumably updated because the Communist Party ousted Earl Browder as leader and installed William Z. Foster to succeed him. <br /><br />CONDITION: Vertical crease probably from mailing ink smudges to lower wrapper but internally clean and unmarked.

191917439Chicago: Deutschen Sprachgruppe der Socialist Party of the United States 1919. First American Edition. 12mo 18cm. Printed card wrappers; 127pp. Very mild external wear; faint spotting to a few pages of text; Near Fine in the original wrappers. Probable first printing in America of Trotsky's account of the October revolution. English editions appeared the same year in London and Brooklyn but it is likely that this German-language version translated from the Russian by German-American scholar Jacob Wittmer Hartmann precedes any English edition. Interestingly a German translation had already appeared in Berlin in 1918 but the German-language group of the Socialist Party commissioned this new translation from Hartmann for the American edition.
