19045847Milford Del: The Club; Printed at the Caulk Press 1904. Octavo 23.25 x 16 cm. 134 pages. Advertisements. Errata list tipped in. Chairman from Introduction page 17. Date of publication determined from internal evidence. ~ Evident first edition. A community cookbook undertaken by a recently formed women's social activist club; with more than four hundred attributed recipes. Entries whose details hold promise: Corned Shad Celeried Oysters Creamed Dried Beef Glazed Sweet Potatoes Succotash requiring one third more corn than beans Delaware Biscuits Potato Rolls Crab Salad Moonshine Pudding Frozen Cherry Custard Quince and Pear Marmalade Preserved Cantaloupe Rind Peach Wine Homemade Hoarhound. ~ Encoded in the title is a sort of hybrid of local pride and patriotic fervor: the Delaware Blue Hen is a traditional landrace analogous to a cultivar - that is not a breed but rather a stock variety - whose origins are alleged to date to the Revolutionary Era. A perennial symbol of tenacity it would be adopted in 1939 as Delaware's state bird. A prefatory note page 18 provides one clue to the date of publication in a reference to the "six years and more of the existence of the Club" which "was organized February 14th 1898." Confirmation is supplied on page 8 by an advertisement for Walter Pardoe's furniture store which brackets its years of service to the community as 1877-1904. ~ Mary Louise Donnell Mrs. George William Marshall 1853-1933 married into a prominent family of physicians who were instrumental in establishing the first hospital in Milford and in codifying its emergency care. She served as president of the Delaware State Federation of Women's Clubs during the first decade of the last century thereby energizing the membership of the Milford Club through her connections across the state and her engagement of speakers on subjects as wide-ranging as agriculture and nutrition. ~ The Milford New Century Club took its name from one of the earliest documented women's clubs founded in the United States the New Century Club in Philadelphia organized as a direct result of interest in the Women's Pavilion of the Centennial Exposition. In its wake social activists found common cause in promoting vocational training for women reforms in public education and child labor laws and women's suffrage. Women of the Milford New Century Club set about raising funds to purchase a schoolhouse known as the Classical Academy - which George Marshall had attended - for use as their meeting house. Thanks in part to the success of The Blue Hen's Chicken's Cook Book they completed the purchase in 1905. ~ The clubhouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Almost exactly thirty years later in 2012 the building was gravely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Amidst the tumult that followed a Milford couple arranged to purchase and restore it through procurement of grants from the National Park Service. The building was rededicated in June 2015. ~ Some age-toning especially at the edges. In publisher's yellow cloth rubbed and soiled with lettering and an image of hen and chicks in blue. Ink signature of collector Eloise Schofield to front flyleaf and with her embossed "ex libris" on title page. Scarce. OCLC locates one copy of the first edition and seven copies of the second edition printed by Milford Publishing in 1921; Cook page 48 with different pagination; Bitting pages 520-521; and Brown 399 both acknowledge the second edition only; not in Cagle.

1973142419New York: Wroderick Productions 1973.

Coward's original script was basis for the 1933 film directed by Herbert Wilcox and the 1940 film directed by WS Van Dyke. The Van Dyke film was so disliked by Coward that he vowed to never let Hollywood adapt one of his works again. <br/><br/>Adaptation writer/actor Roderick Cook worked extensively with Coward's material his best-known work being a highly well-received 1972 musical review of Coward's work entitled "Oh Coward!" While it is believed that Cook's adaptation of "Bitter Sweet" was never performed professionally and the material in this script was not utilized in "Oh Coward!" it was likely written after Cook's considerable success with the review encouraged him to take another look at Coward's oeuvre. <br/><br/>Set in London and Vienna. <br/><br/>Pink titled wrappers with credits for playwright Noel Coward and adaptation writer Roderick Cook.

"Between 1852 and 1876 Cook 1807-1876 produced about forty different titles writing the text engraving the numerous woodcut illustrations and after laboriously printing the result proceeded to peddle his pamphlets about the streets in true chapman fashion"Lawrence Jenkins William Cook of Salem Mass.: Preacher Poet Artist and Publisher" in the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society New Series Vol. 34 April 9 1924-October 15 1924. Jenkins notes that Cook had just enough type to set one page at a time. The woodblocks were made from birch or maple wood cut with a jack-knife and touched up with lead pencil as are these. Cook had built a small hand lever press that looked like an old fashioned high-back hand organ. Cook was a truly unique eccentric who eked out a living as a tutor lecturer printer and poet. The text in the present work contains Cook's remarks about education to a local Baptist church and two of his poems that illustrated his main points. William Cook unknown books

He also organized one of the first polar tourist excursions to Greenland. He began his polar experience in 1891 as a surgeon on Robert Peary's second Greenland expedition. This book is about his participation in the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897 in the Belgica under the command of Adrien De Gerlache de Gomery. The ship became icebound in the Bellingshausen Sea and was forced to over winter. This book was the first significant English-language account of over wintering in Antarctica until Gerlache's book was translated in 1998. From Rosove this book was "superior to the other two from both literary and informational viewpoints. Cook based his book . on his diary notes and recollections; he included some of the scientific results in the appendices ." Roald Amundsen was the mate on the expedition and gained his only Antarctic experience before his own expedition in 1911 to reach the South Pole. Doubleday & McClure Co unknown books

19116740New York: The Polar Publishing Co. 1911 First edition. Small quarto. xx 2 604pp. Frontis portrait 49 photographs text illustrations. Index. Brown pictorial cloth. Some scattered foxing contemporary owner's signature on blank flyleaf slight rubbing to spine ends and corners else a fine copy. Cook's original purpose in exploring the region west of Greenland was ostensibly to organize a hunting expedition. Just north of Etah Cook decided that conditions were good enough for an assault on the North Pole and set out on his journey over the sea ice with two Eskimo companions two sledges and 26 dogs. Cook is one of the most controversial figures in the history of polar exploration. His supporters claim that he was the hero of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition the first to climb Mt. McKinley and the first to stand at the North Pole allegedly only four days before Robert Peary. Others insist that Cook faked his claims to both Mt. McKinley and the North Pole and continued a career of deceit by using the mail to defraud investors in a Texas oil promotion for which he was convicted and spent five years in federal prison. The endless controversy and debate continues over what Cook's true accomplishments were. Ricks: p.70; Smith: 1976; Wickersham: 4904 later printing. The Polar Publishing Co. hardcover books
