19853230Milwaukee Wi 1985. Very good. 45 rpm record in printed sleeve. Minor edge wear. A rare music single with instrumental B-side issued by the Miller Brewing Company in celebration of Black History Month in 1985. The front side prints the title and first verse of the lyrics of the song; the verso explains the motivation behind the record's release: "'Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing' was written by the noted Black poet and civil rights leader James Weldon Johnson and was set to music by his brother Jay R. Johnson actor-musician. Originally intended for use in a program given by a group of Jacksonville Florida schoolchildren to celebrate Lincoln's birthday its words convey a sense of birthright and heritage. Often referred to as the 'Black National Anthem' it is sung at various public gatherings." The artists who recorded the present version of the song are a veritable Hall of Fame of soul and rhythm-and-blues music in the latter 20th century: Al Green Deniece Williams Patti Austin Roberta Flack Melba Moore and Deborah McDuffie who also produced the song at the Mingo-Jones advertising agency. unknown

"'My soul must be very black indeed' observes King virtuoso of horror fiction but these 30-odd interviews do not lay bare his soul. They do however reveal some interesting things about his insomnia and persistent fears he hates darkness his literary sources work habits he writes two hours a day seven days a week and how his scary novels are linked to his childhood insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. The interviews conducted by various journalists over the past decade originally ran in media ranging from Penthouse to the Baltimore Sun. Shrugging off critics who dismiss his work as derivative King explains his fascination with the horrific and calls himself a good writer not a great one. His comments on his novels and their movie adaptations are often astute as when he interprets Carrie as a parable of women's consciousness or pans Stanley Kubrick's frigid direction of The Shining." -- Publishers Weekly Underwood-Miller hardcover

190280687New York: The Abbey Press 1902. First Edition. First Printing. Octavo. 20cm. Bound in 20th century grey cloth by Meister and Smethie titled in black to spine and front board. 369pp. The later cloth binding is strong and functional clearly following the brief of holding the book together for a century without too much attention to aesthetics some light scuffing and edgewear perhaps a little discolouration here and there but constructed of the kind of book cloth that will outlast an earthquake. A very good copy by virtue of completeness and solidity. Internally clean albeit with a rather brutal stitching job to the text block which has resulted in the prelims being a little loose in the gutter. Inscribed in pencil to the front flyleaf by the editor who was also the bereaved sister of the book's subject Major General Earl Van Dorn of the Confederate Army:<br /> "From 'Aunt Emily' Vandorn to Constance Kearny Vertner"<br /> Constance Kearny Vertner's pencil ownership is also present on the front flyleaf she was indeed Emily's niece being the daughter of her elder sister Jane who married Senator John Vertner of Lexington Kentucky which is quite the collection of Southern aristocracy. <br /> The book itself was an attempt by Emily Van Dorn to salvage something of the reputation of her dead brother after his death at the hands of a man whose wife and possibly 15 year old daughter rumours abound he was said to be having an affair with. On the face of it Major General Van Dorn was an extremely gifted cavalry commander and a less gifted infantry officer who cut his teeth fighting the Cheyenne in the US Army and later ended up fighting the US Army distinguishing himself at 2nd Corinth the Raid on Holly Ridge and other engagements. The General's reputation for womanising however and his erratic military performance when commanding anything other than his beloved cavalry caused him to be a dangerous combination of lauded and highly suspect depending upon who you asked. His eventual death shot in the back of the head by Dr. George Peters of Tennessee was met with sadness and censure but little surprise. The customary thing to do at the time regarding a man killed whilst committing adultery was to express public disdain and condemnation whilst keeping one's true feelings private. Emily Van Dorn's published attempts at salvage made it quite clear that whilst his contemporaries and colleagues might have tutted in public the sympathies and memories they expressed to her and her family suggested otherwise. There was also the added suggestion that Dr. Peters acted on behalf of the Union and that he received a mysterious and substantial land grant in Arkansas in payment. Emily Van Dorn perhaps unsurprisingly held to this version of events. A scarce book in any condition and even more so with a family association. The Abbey Press unknown
