1964100159Beijing: Central Political Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army 1964. First edition of Quotations from Chairman Mao. Duodecimo in the original iconic red vinyl title to front cover in blind frontispiece portrait of Chairman Mao. With the textual error on pp. 82/83 corrected and Lin Biao's calligraphic endorsement leaf after the frontispiece tipped in from a later printing. In 1972 an edict was issued that Lin's name was to be obliterated from history following disclosures that he had plotted a coup and planned to assassinate Mao; consequently "many surviving copies in the Chinese language have that page legitimately torn away mutilated or censored" Schiller p. 36. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom red slipcase. Printed for the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army the first edition of Mao's Quotations was issued in two states and bindings: the uncorrected first state text in red vinyl plastic and the corrected second state in paper wrappers. The corrected copies issued in wrappers and intended for high-ranking officers were released first; the uncorrected copies issued in red vinyl and for use by brigade teams were released shortly afterwards as the sturdier binding took longer to manufacture. By the start of the Cultural Revolution in 1966 the red vinyl design had become symbolic of Mao's slogan "The East is Red" and the paper wrappers were discontinued. The year 1966 also "signaled the start of a major translation and publication project when the Little Red Book was issued in over 50 different languages of countries where Socialism might triumph" Schiller p. 55. The book was printed in large quantities until Mao's death in 1976; by the late 1970s however a change of government meant further circulation of the book was discouraged with millions of copies were collected and destroyed. His Little Red Book however sometimes referred to as the "Chinese Bible" "forms a brilliant compilation that is still readable and admired today for its political theories and strategies" ibid. p. 57.

1911004030Washington DC: The Gridiron Press December 9 1911. First edition. Wraps. Very Good. Inscribed by C.K. Berryman the cartoonist to H.W. Berryman. The inscription states "This book is inscribed by the illustrator C.K. Berryman". 8vo. 20 by 16.5 cm. 74 1 pp. Cartoons are of the political luminaries of the day including many names still recognizable such as Elihu Root William Borah Taft TR Robert LaFolette Gifford Pinchot Henry Stimson Woodrow Wilson and on and on. Clever rhymes for the ABC and then clever variants of well-known nursery rhymes. The drawings capture the persons depicted with great fidelity yet impressive economy. Berryman began his career as an artist for the patent office before joining the staff of "The Washington Post" in 1891 as an understudy for its chief cartoonist then becoming its official cartoonist in 1896. In 1907 he left the Post for "The Washington Star" where he drew cartoons until his death. He is probably best known for inspiring the Teddy Bear. The Gridiron Club was founded in 1885 and remains one of the most prestigious press clubs in the nation. The Gridiron Dinner is an annual rite in Washington often attended by the sitting President. This book is uncommon in the original printing. <br/><br/> The Gridiron Press paperback books
