193926808New York: New Directions. Very Good in Fair dj. 1946 c.1939. Later Printing. Hardcover. price-clipped a good sound clean copy brown cloth with spine stamped in gold with some discoloration to the endpapers but no significant shelfwear; the jacket is somewhat tattered with extensive paper loss at and surrounding the top of the spine various other small chips and chunks missing along edges foxing to rear panel ink scribble on front panel etc.; it's encased in a new mylar cover and it covers the book and that's about all that can be said for it. A slightly later printing of the 1943 re-issue of the book first published by New Directions in 1939 and acknowledged as such in the jacket blurb; the Miller titles advertised on the rear flap and rear panel date this printing as 1946 or 1947. Per the jacket blurb the book "is a miscellaney made up of representative examples of the different forms in which Mille rhas worked -- stories sketches prose poems philosophical and critical essays surrealist fantasies and autobiographical notes. It contains several sections excerpted from 'Black Spring' together with the now famous story 'Max' in itself an unforgettable literary experience." Interestingly the last title advertised on the rear jacket panel "Selected Writings of Henry Miller" which was "to be published next year" apparently wasn't published at least not under that title. .

1964132317Denver CO: Wiseman Film Productions 1964. Original one sheet poster for the 1964 film. Only one style of the poster is known to have been issued for its initial release. <br/><br/>A seminal film from many points of view. The second feature to be directed by Shirley Clarke. Clarke's goal was to make a non-judgmental film that resisted the moralizing prevalent in Hollywood "social issue" films. It was the first film to be produced by Frederick Wiseman who would go on to become a legendary documentary filmmaker and was scored by noted jazz composer and pianist Mal Waldron with performances by Dizzy Gillespie. "The Cool World" was the first American independent film to be screened at the Venice International Film Festival. <br/><br/>Clarke studied under Hans Richter and became part of a circle in Greenwich Village that included Maya Deren Stan Brakhage and Jonas Mekas. After founding the now-legendary Filmmakers Cooperative she made a series of short films and documentaries. Her feature film debut was "The Connection" based on a play concerning the lives of a group of heroin-addicted small-time jazz musicians. "The Connection" became the director's "test case" in what was ultimately a victory against New York State's censorship rules. Importantly too both "The Connection" and "The Cool World" were statements on the limitations of cinema verite and while appearing improvisational were in fact semi-documentaries with carefully scripted dialogue. <br/><br/>27 x 41 inches folded as issued. Rubber stamped "THE COOL WORLD" on the verso. Very Good plus with shallow creasing at the edges and a few short closed tears. Wiseman Film Productions unknown books
