Bears an inscription signed from Dixon. Protagonist 'Savage' a Comanche is a C.I.A. assassin being stalked by fellow assassins.

Charles Green joined in 1949 was "a senior intelligence duty officer to the Director under Dulles we may suppose and from 1962 to 1974 was the senior C.I.A. representative to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense."

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.

194195094New York: Reynal Hitchcock Inc 1941. First limited edition of French adventurer Gontran de Poncins' classic account of his solo unsupported journey in the Canadian Arctic. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco over cloth covered boards with gilt titles and tooling to the spine. One on only 550 copies this is number 81. Boldly signed by the author on the front free endpaper "Before I disappear for good!.I remain your friend 'Eskimo Miki' de Poncins." With the original Publisher's Note laid in which explains "The Vicomte Gontran de Poncins author of KABLOONA called out of the Arctic to join the colors of his country disappeared in the debacle of the French Republic following the fall of Paris. It has therefore been impossible to obtain his signature for this limited edition." Poncins did in fact survive and this is one of the scarce copies that he signed. Written in collaboration with Lewis Galantiere Gontran de Poncins' Kabloona recounts the French aristocrat's solo unsupported journey in the Canadian Arctic where he lived with the Inuit for nearly 15 months between 1938 and 1939. Bored with the business world curiosity drew de Poncins to exotic areas throughout the world; his unique technique in relaying his observations of the cultures he discovered was not scientific but provided stylized personal points of view and descriptions. Initially describing the Inuit way of life as primitive and inferior de Poncins soon experienced a deep spiritual awakening after undergoing weeks of hardship in the Arctic and became so well-adapted to the lifestyle he was essentially adopted by the Inuit.

194738032New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company 1947. First edition later printing. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To: Julian Lovitt Here's hoping you improve your game. Golfingly Jim Dante 4/24/48." Light rubbing near fine in a very good dust jacket with some chips and tears. Uncommon signed. Two golfers and a sports editor combine to tell the duffer what is wrong with his game and how to go about correcting it. The ""nine bad shots"" are slicing hooking topping smothering pulling pushing skying sclaffing and shanking. Starting with an introductory section on grip and stance and swing- illustrated with right and wrong photographs those authorities- in surprisingly simple terms- explain how a few basic principles properly applied will prevent and correct tendencies to do any or all of the bad shots. The last section covers iron play putting getting out of the rough and traps handling uneven lies -- again with photographs that illustrate the points they are making.
