1926R5107Moscow: Uzel 1926. Limited Edition. Paperback. Near Fine. Original grey wraps printed paper label tipped onto front cover; pp. 28. From a limited edition of 700 copies among the smallest print runs of any book in the Flegon collection. OCLC locates 5 copies. Alex Flegon founded the Flegnon Press in London becoming the first independent Russian-language publisher in the West -- his rivals including YMCA Press were largely subsidized by various political organizations notably the CIA. Vendor's mark on last leaf; some light rubbing along edges of covers; otherwise a lovely copy. <br/><br/>Alec Flegon 1924-2003 an emigre from Romania became a controversial London-based publisher of samizdat literature and Soviet trade directories during the Cold War. He was the first to publish Bulgakov's "Heart of a Dog" and Solzhenitsyn's "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and he later published four Russian-language versions of Pasternak's "Dr. Zhivago" including one under a Moscow imprint lest Russian buyers be accused of importing anti-Soviet literature. His remarkable success at repeatedly getting manuscripts out of the Soviet Union led to the widespread view that he must have had contacts in the KGB and he used this reputation to his advantage garnering free publicity for his publications. He was accused of copyright infringement and/or piracy on more than one occasion the most famous example being his feuds with Solzhenitsyn and Svetlana Stalin. Nonetheless his perseverance made him an important figure in the publishing history of Russian literature in the West -- he was the first independent Russian-language publisher in the West and remained so for decades. His rivals were largely subsidized by various political organizations notably the CIA. Uzel paperback books

1970146086New York: Pressman Williams 1970. Draft script for the 1973 film. Copy belonging to cinematographer Gregory Sandor with his name in holograph pencil on the verso of the title page and holograph pencil annotations throughout.<br/><br/>Danielle is a beautiful model separated from her conjoined twin Dominique. When her neighbor an aspiring journalist suspects Danielle of a brutal murder the horror of Danielle's disturbing past begins to surface. Director Brian De Palma based his original story on a Life magazine article about conjoined twins in the Soviet Republic who had been successfully separated but were experiencing psychological problems as a result of the operation. <br/><br/>With its use of visually dense point-of-view and split-screen camera techniques "Sisters" is one of De Palma's earliest forays into erotic voyeurism as a conduit for psychological horror paving the way for a string of idiosyncratic psychosexual projects in the ensuing years such as "Obsession" 1976 "Dressed to Kill" 1980 "Blow Out" 1981 and "Body Double" 1984 among others. Given its focus on the anxiety of the gaze "Sisters" can also be read as an homage to Alfred Hitchcock-openly referencing "Rope" 1948 "Rear Window" 1954 and "Psycho" 1960-and indeed the film was even scored by Bernard Hermann a frequent musical collaborator for Hitchcock's films.<br/><br/>Set and shot on location in New York. <br/><br/>Maroon titled wrappers.

1963151483Tooele County UT: N.p. 1963. Archive of 163 vernacular photographs including 145 in color and 18 in black-and-white capturing the 1960-1963 National Speed Trials commonly known as Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Housed in 17 yellow envelopes with dates and names of racers written in holograph ink annotation to the rectos. <br/><br/>Offered with the archive is a brand new set of the two-volume Bonneville National Speed Trials references covering 1949-1958 and 1959-1968 respectively. The set is new and still in shrinkwrap.<br/><br/>In the early 1960s wealthy California car owners began to experiment with surplus jet engines to boost the horsepower of their cars creating distinctive bootlegged hotrods referred to as jet cars or jets designed specifically for the compacted salt surface of the flats. <br/><br/>The photographs in the archive document many early iterations of these unusual and profoundly dangerous vehicles with a particular focus on racers from southern California including Art Arfons' 8000-horsepower Cyclops which set a record for an open-cockpit vehicle 342 mph which still stands today and Mickey Thompson's Challenger I the first car to record a top speed of 400 mph. Also notable are several photographs of the streamliner entries of the Summers brothers in 1961 1962 and 1963 whose streamliner Goldenrod would go on to hold the land speed record from 1965 to 1991. <br/><br/>As a whole the photographs are bright and well-executed clearly shot with a racing insider's eye for detail. Photographs from the perspective of Speed Week attendees are scarce owing to the relatively remote locale and complete absence of accommodations for spectators making the images in the archive an uncommon intimate record of several pivotal years in the history of hotrod racing.<br/><br/>Photographs 5.75 x 3.5 inches envelopes 7.5 x 4. Some photographs with faint adhesive residue to the versos else envelopes and photographs generally Near Fine.<br/><br/>Full provenance available. N.p. unknown books
