1931112417Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc 1931. First edition of Emmett Dalton's autobiography. Octavo original cloth with smoking gun vignette to the front panel pictorial endpapers frontispiece portrait of Emmett Dalton after a photograph taken in 1892. Signed by the author on the half-title page "Sincerely yours Emmett Dalton." Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with light rubbing. The Dalton brothers led one of the last gangs of horseback outlaws. Ironically three of them - Bob Grant and Emmett - started their careers as deputy marshals. They soon decided that more money could be made from horse rustling and in 1888 they organized a band that carried on a thriving trade. When they came under suspicion toward the end of 1890 the brothers went to California where on February 6 1891 at the small station of Aila they held up a Los Angeles-bound passenger train. The robbery failed when the baggage clerk excaped and the Daltons were unable to break into the safe. Grat was captured and sentenced to twenty years in prison but escaped from the train carrying him to Folsom. The gang resumed operations in Oklahoma where during the next two years they robbed three trains before turning to the more lucrative trade of bank robbery. Modeling their plans on the James brothers the Daltons struck the two banks at Coffeyville Kansas on October 5 1892 hoping as Bob said "to beat anything Jesse James ever did - rob two banks at once in broad daylight." However the identical fate that befell the James gang at Northfield Minnesota awaited the Daltons. Confronted with a large crowd of armed townsfolk the gang attempted to shoot its way to safety; in the battle Bob Gat and two other gang members were killed and Emmett was severely wounded and captured. It is the basis for the 1940 film directed by George Marshall and starring Randolph Scott Kay Francis and Brian Donlevy. Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc hardcover books

192425607Garden City NY: Doubleday Page & Company. Good. 1924. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket sound but worn copy bumping/exposure of boards at all corners light dampstaining to spine; the tipped-in folding map between pages 10 and 11 is present and in excellent condition. 3 color plates 6 halftones 9 photogravures INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page: "To Paul Bern / with the good wishes / of the author / Robert Flaherty / New York City / Jan 4th 1927." Flaherty's 1922 film NANOOK OF THE NORTH was the most acclaimed documentary of its time -- a time before "documentary film" even existed as a defined genre. Although the passage of time and the revelations of scholarship have diminished and somewhat tarnished Flaherty's reputation NANOOK itself remains an impressive cinematic achievement even if OK some scenes were staged. Three of the book's four sections deal with Flaherty's earlier expeditions into the Hudson Bay region as an explorer and prospector in the employ of the Canadian Pacific Railway during which time he learned about the lands and people and conceived the idea of capturing them on film. Parts I-III are: The Discovery and Exploration of the Belcher Islands; Winter on Wetalltok's Island; The Exploration of Northern Ungava. Only Part IV entitled "Films" is specifically about the making of NANOOK which began in 1913 but was beset with difficulties including the destruction by fire in 1916 of 30000 feet of Flaherty's already-exposed film. His account here is somewhat thin on specifics like dates as he chose instead to concentrate largely on his interactions with the Eskimos specifically Nanook himself whose name wasn't actually Nanook at all but never mind. The book's inscribee Paul Bern 1889-1932 has misfortunately gone down in Hollywood history as Jean Harlow's suicidal husband but prior to that he was one of Irving Thalberg's right-hand men his personal assistant in fact and later a producer at M-G-M. In January 1927 Bern was nearing the end of a two-month sojourn in New York on assignment for Thalberg; per a contemporary press report he "saw every current Broadway play during his visit conferred with many noted writers and entered into negotiations for the screen rights of several stories and novels." Flaherty for his part had been in demand following the great box-office success of NANOOK then as now nothing quite caught Hollywood's attention as strongly as an unexpected money-maker and had dipped his toe in the movie colony's pool turning out a South Seas-set narrative documentary MOANA for Paramount; by the time of its release in January 1926 he had moved to New York where he was working when presumably Bern came calling. Whether or not securing Flaherty's services for M-G-M was a specific agenda item it's quite possible that one of the novels to which Bern nailed down the rights was Frederick O'Brien's 1919 book "White Shadows in the South Seas" and it was that very project later in the year for which Flaherty did indeed return to Hollywood -- albeit briefly before M-G-M shipped him off to Tahiti to shoot the film from which production he was later fired but that's another story. Whether these events actually link up neatly in a single chain is open to speculation but in any case the inscription in this book represents a notable crossing of paths by one of the cinema's towering figures -- the father of the documentary film more or less -- and one of Tinseltown's most tragic figures who would a few years later die by his own hand purportedly after just two months of marriage to the luminous Jean Harlow. Bern was known to be a cultured and well-read man with an extensive library; this particular book ended up probably after Bern's death in the hands of his friend and fellow M-G-M producer Carey Wilson from whose estate we obtained the book.

195838022New York: John Wiley & Sons 1958. First edition of this classic in management science. Octavo original cloth. From the library of Nobel Prize-winning economist John Harsanyi with his signature on the front free endpaper . 'Outside the Carnegie group we should like to acknowledge especially our many hours of fruitful work and discussion with Robert A. Dahl on the subject of influence measurement and the help and guidance that John C. Harsanyi provided for our treatment of the relation between game theory and other theories of conflict' p. vi. 'Simon was attracted to the exciting intellectual environment emerging at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. After moving to Carnegie in 1949 Simon stayed there for more than five decades. At Carnegie Simon collaborated on work that established the field of organization theory. The founding work was a major study done with James G. March published as Organizations. The book continued the argument that decision makers are not able to act in an objectively rational manner; rather they are constrained by both cognitive and external limitations. So instead of assuming that each decision maker scans all possible alternatives and chooses the one that maximizes expected utility Simon argued that decision makers instead use 'satisficing' as a criterion for making decisions; they choose the first alternative that looks 'good enough.' March and Simon wrote in Organizations 'Most human decision making whether individual or organizational is concerned with the discovery and selection of satisfactory alternatives; only in exceptional cases is it concerned with the discovery and selection of optimal alternatives.' . . . One of Simon's insights was that the observed complexity of human behavior arose from simple and general underlying mechanisms that were applied to a complex task environment. Simon illustrated this with his famous metaphor of 'the ant on the beach.' The ant's goal is to reach some distant food. While the ant's path to the food seems very complex twisting and turning most of the apparent complexity is due to the grains of sand to be traversed. The complexity of the environment rather than the complexity of mechanism within the decision maker gives rise to the observed behavior. 'In solving problems' March and Simon wrote 'human thinking is governed by programs that organize myriads of simple information processes - or symbolic manipulating processes if you like - into orderly complex sequences that are responsive to and adaptive to the task environment and the clues that are extracted from that environment as the sequences unfold' ' Mie Augier & Edward Feigenbaum 'Herbert A. Simon: 15 June 1916 - 9 February 2001' Biographical Memoirs Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society Vol. 147 No. 2 June 2003 pp. 196-7. Fine in a near fine dust jacket.

194192796New York: Reynal & Hitchcock 1941. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. illustrations some in color and all by Poncins xi 339p. plus 32 unnumbered pages of black and white photos with captions and some text beneath each photo. Original cloth backed in red leather. Clear plastic acetate jacket and red card slipcase with a title label on the front panel. 22 cm. The jacket has modest damage at base of backstrip and some general wrinkling. The slipcase is sound with modest soiling and wear including a small heart-shaped waterspot on the back panel. The book is fresh and clean and even has the original unfaded and only minimally worn red ribbon marker. Copy No. 90 of the limited edition of 550 copies. The book is an account of Poncins' thoughts and experiences during 15 months in 1938-1939 spent in the Canadian Arctic mostly among Inuit people living near King William Land in what is now known as Nunavut. A printed slip laid in the book explains that the book is not signed because Poncins having ". joined the colors of his country France disappeared in the debacle of the French Republic following the fall of Paris." The slip promised that "in the event of his survival and return to the United States arrangements will be made upon request to his publishers . for him to sign this numbered copy of KABLOONA." In fact Poncins had survived and this copy and an unknown but apparently modest number of other copies of the limited edition were signed by Poncins. The signature on the limitation page is by "Eskimo Mike" de Poncins -- Mike being the name by which he was known among the Inuit. All in all a wonderful copy of an important book about the Canadian Arctic and the Inuit people. Reynal & Hitchcock hardcover
