In all 1057 watermarks have now been computer enhanced and triple-indexed for better identification. Meanwhile Elizabeth Walsh of the Folger Library edited a great deal of new information from leading scholars and enthusiasts. This new corpus of research corrected and updated the numerous mill histories indexes glossary and bibliography.<BR><br /> This expanded and revised edition of American Watermarks brings to the paper and autograph scholar the latest information available on early American watermarks in a clear concise work that should become a basic reference in its field.

195216734New York: Pageant Press. Very Good in Good dj. 1956 c.1952. 2nd printing. Hardcover. NOISBN . some foxing/soiling to page edges spine slightly turned; jacket heavily edgeworn several small chips and tears. Early gay fiction a novel exploring "the inner thought processes of a youth Gaylord Le Claire who finds himself developing into a homosexual. As we first meet Gaylord he doesn't realize why he is unlike anyone else he knows; why he has longings to be near a high-school friend Bob Blake; why he wishes he were a girl. His unhappiness is intensified by the cruelty of his school friends who realize before he does what he is and what it means." It takes a trip to New Orleans -- where quite a bit of the novel takes place and where Gay yes that's what he's called for short "has met others like himself" -- to spur he and Bob to get together. Cited in Young 2360 -- an asterisked listing indicating a "work of primary importance" yet neither the book nor its author who wrote an additional gay-themed book "Somewhere Between the Two" published in 1956 seem to have gotten much attention from scholars of the genre despite the fact that this would seem to be a fairly early positive portrayal with an upbeat ending no less of a young man's coming-out. There is however a very nice essay to be found online entitled "Resurrecting Jay Little" in which the blogger Brooks Peters writes very appreciatively of the book and relates the story of his own quest to track down biographical information about its author. .
