1958203391958. Meaker Marijane writing as Vin Packer and Ann Aldrich; Torres Tereska; Marchal Lucie; Christian Paula. Lesbian pulp novels 1958-1961. These works document lesbian representation in midcentury pulp fiction through novels written by women a distinct subset of the genre that offered alternative portrayals of same-sex relationships during a period of widespread censorship and medicalization of homosexuality. Issued within commercial paperback publishing these texts present narratives centered on identity emotional experience and interpersonal relationships providing evidence of how women authors approached lesbian subject matter with greater emphasis on character interiority and in some cases less punitive narrative outcomes. The material supports research into LGBTQ literary history gender and authorship and the development of lesbian-focused narratives in mid-twentieth-century print culture.<br /> <br /> Five mass market paperback volumes published between 1958 and 1961 each approximately 200 pages and measuring about 4.75 x 7 inches. 1 Packer Vin Marijane Meaker. The Evil Friendship. Greenwich Conn: Fawcett Publications 1958. First printing. Follows two teenage girls exploring romantic attachment marketed as "Vin Packer's latest study of the tragedy of forbidden love." 2 Torres Tereska. The Dangerous Games. Greenwich Conn: Fawcett Publications 1961. Second printing. Centers on a married woman in Paris entering a polyamorous relationship and recognizing same-sex desire promoted as "The unorthodox love experiences of a young French woman." 3 Marchal Lucie. The Mesh. New York: Bantam Books 1959. New Bantam edition. Translation of a French novel depicting a relationship between two women with cover text describing "strange hidden passions. women living in a forbidden world." 4 Christian Paula. Another Kind of Love. Greenwich Conn: Fawcett Publications 1961. First Crest printing. Set in Hollywood following a writer and an actress in a same-sex relationship framed as "Women in Love with each other." 5 Aldrich Ann Marijane Meaker. We Too Must Love. Greenwich Conn: Fawcett Publications 1958. First printing. A nonfiction-inflected narrative drawing on lived experience introduced by the author as "the whys and wherefores of Lesbian life in New York City-as I have known it."<br /> <br /> These publications emerged within a pulp marketplace that relied on sensational marketing while operating under restrictions on explicit representation shaping how lesbian relationships could be depicted and circulated. Women authors such as Marijane Meaker writing under multiple names contributed to a shift toward more self-directed portrayals of lesbian identity while other writers expanded geographic and thematic scope across American and European settings. The presence of multiple works by women in a single grouping highlights a less dominant but significant strand of authorship within the genre. Together these texts provide primary evidence for the study of lesbian representation publishing practices and readership in the decades preceding broader public visibility of LGBTQ communities including developments associated with the Stonewall Riots. Light wear to covers with minor rubbing; textblocks tight and interiors clean. Overall very good condition. unknown
198912906Santa Rosa CA: Graphic Concepts 1989. Broadsheet cartoon map 22.25 x 16.75 inches with printed information on verso intended as a brochure but in this case unfolded. Some dampstaining along bottom portion mostly visible on verso with old tape at each corner of verso from previous mounting likely removed from a wall or bulletin board long ago. Otherwise minor wear. Good plus. Rolled. A lovely illustrated map of Napa Valley highlighting one of the region's most distinctive and iconic characteristics -- its robust viticulture industry. Numerous vineyards and wineries dot the fertile valley epitomized by an idyllic scene in the upper right corner. Notable names include Robert Mondavi Charles Krug Beringer Stag's Leap Sutter Home and Charles Shaw the source of Trader Joe's "Two Buck Chuck". The design and layout were executed by Ron Morales with artwork by Susan Clifford. This is one of several similar wine maps created by Morales though the emphasis on Napa Valley is an uncommon characteristic. The notice in the bottom margin reads "Copyright 1989 by Graphic Concepts" of Santa Rosa California. Charts on the verso lists the wineries by county and their various amenities and operating hours as well as local accommodations entertainment restaurants and so forth. This work was intended to be folded as a brochure for easy transport but the current example was never folded; it was likely posted at a winery or local business in Napa Valley and taken off the wall at some point. OCLC records just two copies of this delightful map fit for the wall of any wine enthusiast at the Library of Congress and the University of Utah though it is difficult to believe copies don't reside at various California especially northern California institutions.

After a long period of significant decline the region became known for quality wine again after David Wynn established Wynns Coonawarra Estate in 1951. Through the second half of the 20th century Coonawarra and particularly Coonawarra Cabernet was one of the most sought after wines and wine regions in Australia. Older vintages of Wynns 'Black Label' and 'Red Stripe' hold a special place in Australian wine lovers' cellars and hearts. <br /> <br /> Over the years David Wynn engaged a number of artists and writers such as Tate Adams and Walter James to record and celebrate the Coonawarra region and Wynns Coonawarra Estate.<br /> <br /> An excellent copy and a significant work in the canon of Australian wine literature and art.<br /> </p> <br /> § OCLC only records 5 copies outside of Australia; 4 in the USA Sonoma UCLA Penn State and Carleton<br /> § Gabler G7040.<br /> </p> Lyre Bird Press unknown
