19359100<p>Berlin Germany.: SS Hauptamt Berlin.1935/44 1935. Soft cover. Good. SS Leithefte 1.Jahrgang.10.Jahrgang The SS-Leitheft was a Nazi SS periodical that ran from 1934 to 1944 and encapsulated much of Himmler's vision for the SS and how it should be presented and seen by members and by others. Often referred to as the 'Leadership' magazine the SS-Leitheft was designed to teach and preach National Socialist ideology and NS lifestyle to members of the SS. Many issues focused on racial politics blood lines Aryanism and the importance of racial purity. The whole visual look of these rare magazines was to enforce and enhance the SS ascetic and elite style. The typography use of runic and Nordic symbols photography and illustration was all geared to push the SS ideology and Nazism in its purist form. This fine collection of SS-Leithefte has taken many years to compile. A very small number around 3 of issues from the 1.Jahrgang are known to exist in two Deutsche Bibliothek and there are no doubt an equally small number in private collections. Unfortunately I have never seen any come onto the market in 40 years. Each year of this fine collection includes a black Collectors slipcase with silver lettering to cover as illustrated.

182757374Randers Elmenhoff 1827-29. Indbundet i 12 ensartede lidt senere hldrbd. Rig rygforgyldning forgyldte skindtitler. Første hefte i første bind er på skrivepapir og lidt afvigende i størrelse hvorfor nederste margin er formeret med ca. 1 cm. og her er også et blad repareret for en mindre rift med tab af enkelte bogstaver i de sidste 8 linier. Her og der med lidt spredte brunpletter men et ganske velbevaret eksemplar. De fleste bind har Einar Christiansens exlibris. <br/><br/><em>Originaltrykket af "Nordlyset" i komplet stand og af største sjældenhed. Det meste af tidsskriftets indhold blev leveret af Blicher selv og det er heri at nogle af Blichers store og vigtigste noveller er udkommet så som "Jøderne paa Hald" "Præsten i Vejlbye" "Hosekræmmeren" "Hvor forandret" "Røverstuen" "Sildig Opvaagnen" "Kjeltringeliv" oversættelsen af Goldsmiths "Præsten i Wakefield" samt en lang række andre fortællinger og artikler. Det er her i Nordlysperioden at Blicher for alvor finder sin fortælleform og stil.Bertelsen 12. - Bibliografi over indholdet i "Nordlyset" se S.

194443207No Place Amsterdam No Publisher Der Höhere SS- und Polizeiführer Nordwest Nederlands 1944. ; No Date 1944. Presume 1st edition. Original pink printed paper ca 22 x 17 inches. Dual German & Dutch text. Original Nazi anti-resistance poster from occupied Amsterdam announcing that “a number of people have been shot by firing squad or on the spot in recent days for attempting to commit sabotage against the German occupying forces†and warning that “The population of the city of Amsterdam is seriously warned to refrain from anything that endangers public peace and security. Violations of this will be severely punished.†<br> A final sentence notes in all capital letters that “TEARING DOWN OR DAMAGING THIS POSTER IS PUNISHABLE.â€<br> The handwritten date “16-9-44†is legible in the lower right corner; we presume this to be the date that the poster was originally either put up or taken down. <br> Anne Frank's life in Amsterdam was defined by the Nazi occupation and her family's subsequent hiding to evade persecution. The Nazi invasion in 1940 led to the implementation of anti-Jewish laws forcing the Frank family to go into hiding in 1942 to avoid deportation to concentration camps. During this time Anne documented her experiences and thoughts in her diary which later became the world’s defining first-hand account of Jewish life during the Holocaust. <br> Over 80% of Amsterdam’s 79000 Jews were murdered by the Nazis. <br> We have been able to locate no other surviving copies of this rare original Nazi poster from occupied Amsterdam.<br> Paper very slightly age toned as expected but colors and text remain bright and clear. A vertical and horizontal fold probably dating to the date of production remain but with no tears. An amazingly well-preserved original Nazi poster from the occupation of Amsterdam. Very Good Condition. Very Displayable B Holo2-163-5. No Place [Amsterdam?] No Publisher [Der Höhere SS- und Polizeiführer Nordwest Nederlands] unknown
xviii, 222 pages. Black and white photographic plates. "When the Germans invaded Hungary in 1944, they immediately shipped virtually the entire Jewish population to Auschwitz. Separated from his family, Dr. Miklos Nyiszli [1901-1956] was chosen to direct the medical pathology work carried on among the prisoners by the Nazis for the purpose of 'scientific research' in that most infamous of all concentration camps. Through the doctor's eyes, we relive not only the day-to-day horrors of life in the KZ but also witness the slow disintegration of an empire built to last a thousand years. What Dr. Nyiszli lived through few will want to believe or even read about." - dust jacket. "Tells of events which, though gruesome, need to be told and retold until their meaning for our times is accepted." - Foreword. Tight and square with moderate external wear. Foxing to top edge. Prior owner's details written and stamped upon front endpaper. Name stamped on top edge. Average wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in archival-grade Brodart.

This directory here in its first year of publication is an extremely detailed compendium of information and statistics on virtually every aspect of Colorado territory covering its history geography and geology natural resources etc. "This Directory gives useful information on the early territorial history of Colorado including the various conventions and forms of government in the early days railroads colonization and early mining" - Streeter. The volume also includes an accurate directory for Denver Golden City Black Hawk Central City Nevada Idaho Georgetown Greeley Colorado City Pueblo Trinidad etc. An appendix for the Denver directory includes the noted western artist A.E. Mathews who had recently published GEMS OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN SCENERY and the Chinese tea dealer Tang Fee. This text is further supplemented by more than 200 pages of advertisements for local businesses. A more useful and comprehensive guide to pre- statehood Colorado would be difficult to find. Though published in Denver by Samuel Wallihan who also edited the work this book was printed in Chicago and is therefore also an example of a Chicago ante-fire imprint. However it is not listed in the American Imprints Inventory list of Ante-Fire imprints nor is it in Eberstadt Graff or Decker. Howell paid $110 for the Streeter copy in 1969. HOWES C611.

"Rettelser til Nordlysetes 6 sidste Hæfter for 1827". <br/><br/><em>De sjældne originaludgaver af 9 af de 12 hæfter der kom i første årgang af Blichers berømmede tidsskrift "Nordlyset". Af den første årgang er kommet 4 bind med 3 hæfter i hvert. I alt udkom 12 bind med 3 hæfter i hvert fra 1827 til 1829. Langt størstedelen af bidragene er af Blicher selv bl.a. findes hér nogle af hans mest berømte og skattede værker såsom "Røverstuen" 2. bind 3. hæfte de første 4 samt 6. og sidste del af "Præsten af Wakefield" 2. bind 1.2. og 3. hæfte 3. bind 2. og 3. hæfte samt det sjældne indlednings- og programdigt "Nordlyset" naturligvis 1. bind 1. hæfte.Bertelsen 12.Det er klart at "Nordlyset" var mere end blot et tidsskrift der skulle foreligge som det sekundære valg til Elmquists "Læsefrugter" som Blicher nyligt havde valgt ikke at bidrage til længere da han ikke fik forhøjet betaling. "Nordlyset" skulle være et konkurrencedygtigt tidsskrift og det skulle tiltrække læsere. Det er således morsomt at se hvilken type læsere Blicher henvender sig til i den første årgang af tidsskiftet Indhold af den første hæfte: Nordlyset - Fruentimmerhaderen - Aline - Femten Fangers Flugt af Revolutionsfængslerne i Lyon - Scener af Bastillen - Den pavelige Soldat - Pierre la Grand den første Flibustier - En Aftenunderholdning paa Dagbjerg Dos - Robin Hood - Baggesen; "Her var dog noget for enhver Smag men især var der noget for Fruentimmernes Smag - for at tale i den Tids Sprog. "Fruentimmerhaderen" var i Virkeligheden en genial Titel set fra et Reklamesynspunkt thi det turde have været ligesaa uomtvistelig Kendgerning i 1827 som 90 Aar senere at Kvinderne interesserer sig mindst ligesaa meget for de Mandfolk der ikke kan lide dem som for dem der elsker dem." Sørensen Nordlys-Perioden i Blichers Digtning p. 97.Tidsskriftet får da også ganske god medvind og det er heri vi finder nogle af Blichers vigtigste noveller. Det er nok også gennem dette tiddskrift at man ser Blicher modnes til den ypperlige forfatter vi kender ham som i dag. Gennem dette tidsskrift følger vi Blichers eksperimenteren med forskellige genrer og stilarter. </em> unknown
50076Elkin Mathews & Marrot. London. 1930 First edition thus. Roy8vo 36pp. Hardcover in original cream pigskin with an abstract design of blue and black onlays and is lightly soiled with a darker mark on the lower spine being slightly splayed as well for reasons best known to specialist collectors internally this unusual book is comprised of Kelmscott hand-made paper that is clean and unfoxed with the requisite uneven fore-edges. Number 272 of only 300 copies ever produced with a lengthy introduction by D.H Lawrence this "is a story within a story contained within Dostoevsky's 1880 novel The Brothers Karamazov. It is recited by Ivan Karamazov during a conversation with his brother Alexei a novice monk about the possibility of a personal and benevolent God". This important original translation was made by Samuel S. Koteliansky a famous Ukrainian translator of Russian literature into English. Chekov was another who benefitted from his support as well as Dostoevsky and Rozanov amongst others being the manager of the prominent literary journal The Adelphi that published works of Lawrence Katherine Mansfield and even Dylan Thomas in the rarified world of mid-20th century English letters together with Leonard and Virginia Woolf. Hence the prominence of his name on the front board under the title and geometric pattern. Obviously extremely scarce anywhere in the world. Elkin, Mathews & Marrot.

1887417304Fitchburg Mass. 1887. Unbound. Very Good. Approximately 9" x 14.5". Old folds with neat professional reinforcement on the verso small chips and tears in the margins mostly at the corners a sound and very good example. Interesting political broadside from a little-known and relatively short-lived progressive party that was interested in printing money in order to buy land for poor people between the towns of Fitchburg and Leominster in order to make it a single city. The dating of the broadside is a little confusing: dated in 1885 but then mentions meetings in 1886 and 1887 the one in 1887 seemingly anticipates a meeting in October of 1887. One statement notes: "Our party point and plan is to improve strengthen and build up the government and remove the burden of taxes from the people and ever stand ready to receive any good move come before them and have women a chance to vote."

193483668New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1934. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. A very good copy with some smudging and light staining in a supplied but sympathetic very good price-clipped dust jacket with slight internal stains. Inscribed by the author: "To Dr. Hugh Stott Taylor With great appreciation for his gracious assistance and with warm personal regards. S.S. Van Dine." The English-born Taylor was a chemist who spent much of his life at Princeton and who in World War II played a prominent role in the American scientific effort directing a number of research projects and contributing to the development of the atomic bomb with his discovery of the most effective catalyst for producing heavy water. He was knighted by both the Queen and the Pope in the same month. A Chair in chemistry is named for him at Princeton. The inscription would seem to indicate that Taylor provided advice to Van Dine about the novel or at least to Willard Huntington Wright as Van Dine was a pseudonym. A Philo Vance novel filmed in 1935 with Paul Lukas as Vance starring opposite Rosalind Russell in one of her earliest roles. Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover
