First appearance of this prescient series of fictional letters, spanning sixteen months between 1932 and 1934, between a Jewish art dealer in San Francisco and his gentile business partner who has returned to Germany in the formative years of the Nazi regime. Simon & Schuster published the first book edition in 1939 and a film noir version followed in 1944. Subsequent stage play performances have continued globally until recent years. The magnum opus of Kathrine Kressmann Taylor [1903-1996], she was assigned the nom de plume Kressman Taylor by her husband and Story's editor Whit Burnett who, per an online reference, felt the concept of murder by mail was too strong to appear under the name of a woman. Occupies pages 20-32 of this 104 page magazine which is clean and unmarked with respectful wear. Front cover beginning to loosen and must be handled gently. Two-inch openings at head and foot of front cover at spine. A quality copy of this stunning literary achievement. Book
Iconic preview issue of Ms. signed and inscribed by its co-founder, Gloria Steinem, upon front cover. This landmark feminist publication was "written for all women, everywhere, in every occupation and profession - women with deep, diverse ambitions, and those who have not yet had a chance to formulate ambition - women who are wives, mothers, and grandmothers, or none of these - women who want to be fully a female person and proud of it. In brief, women who want to humanize politics, business, education, the arts and sciences... in the home, the community , and the nation." - p113.

Lucky Strike cigarette ad on back cover provides a truly classic and timeless example of a mis-timed advertisement. Consider that the great Wall St. stock market crash of 1929 occurred mere days before this issue hit the newsstands. Beneath the caption "An Ancient Prejudice has been removed" appears a clenched fist labeled as "American Intelligence" breaking a heavy chain. Top left a paranoid miser stacks his gold by candlelight. Top right a wealthy couple visits their palatial bank. Text beneath miser reads "Hoarding gold with the fanatical zeal of the miser has vanished. American Intelligence sponsors thousands of banking institutions to which the individual (i.e. the wealthy couple) safely entrusts his wealth." The message is clear. Readers should put their trust (and money) in the banks, and shun gold. This issue was likely printed just as the Great Crash occurred, causing countless financial institutions to go under - and destroying even more individual fortunes. (The ad goes on to claim that cigarettes have similarly overcome the prejudice against them.) A truly stunning work which deserves to be preserved and reflected upon in this age of limitless fiat currency printing. Average wear with three-inch crease to lower corner of back cover. Suitably framed and mounted, this ad will make a superlative office display for any precious metals executive. Magazine
- 26 février 1955, 21,1x27cm et 14,5x11,2cm, 2 pages sur 2 feuillets, 4 pages sur 4 feuillets et une enveloppe. - Two complete, handwritten, signed manuscripts entitled "Magie quotidienne" First version with many crossing-outs and corrections, followed by the final version [with] envelope with handwritten notes 26 February 1955 | 21.1 x 27 cm and 14.5 x 11.2 cm, 2 pages on 2 leaves, 4 pages on 4 leaves and an envelope Complete handwritten, signed working manuscript entitled "Magie quotidienne", two pages written in fine handwriting in black ink on two leaves from the à l'étoile scellée gallery. Many crossing-outs and corrections. Complete signed final manuscript of the same article, four pages written in blue ink on four leaves. An envelope attached containing - in black ink - Breton's handwritten notes reused in his manuscript. Important and long manuscripts of this article which will be published in the first issue of La Tour Saint-Jacques in November 1955. "1955: with this text entitled "Magie quotidienne", Breton gives a distant echo to the beautiful phrase the "wonderful daily" which closed the first chapter of Le Paysan de Paris, in 1926. But far from Aragon passed to Stalinism, it is to the young Jean-Louis Bédouin that a text is dedicated, which may appear as one of the sketches of Breton's great project that year, a book dedicated to L'Art magique. For the time being, it is to the fascinating game of correspondence, formerly understood under the Hegelian category of objective chance, that these pages are devoted, which will appear, accompanied by a long letter from "G.D." (Georgina Dubreuil) in the first issue of La Tour Saint-Jacques, in November." (Breton Archives) This long manuscript, abundantly corrected and made up of six parts defined by dates - from 21 to 26 February 1955 -, takes the form of a diary recounting troubling coincidences encountered by the writer.

On joint une enveloppe contenant des notes manuscrites de Breton à l'encre noire réutilisées dans son manuscrit. Importants et longs manuscrits de cet article qui paraîtra dans le premier numéro de La Tour Saint-Jacques en novembre 1955. «?1955?: avec ce texte intitulé «?Magie quotidienne?», Breton donne comme un écho lointain à cette belle formule du «?merveilleux quotidien?» qui fermait le premier chapitre du Paysan de Paris, en 1926. Mais, loin d'Aragon passé au stalinisme, c'est au jeune Jean-Louis Bédouin qu'est dédié un texte qui peut apparaître comme l'une des esquisses du grand projet de Breton cette année-là, un livre consacré à L'Art magique. Pour l'heure, c'est au jeu fascinant des correspondances, autrefois appréhendé sous la catégorie hégélienne du hasard objectif, que sont consacrées ces pages qui paraîtront, accompagnées d'une longue lettre de «?G. D.?» (Georgina Dubreuil) dans le premier numéro de La Tour Saint-Jacques, en novembre.?» (Archives Breton) Ce long manuscrit, abondamment corrigé et constitué de six parties délimitées par des dates - du 21 au 26 février 1955 - prend la forme d'un journal relatant des coïncidences troublantes vécues par l'écrivain.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary quarter leather bdg. Handsomely bound. Six raised bands to spine, the second compartment has the title, the fifth has "issue 1-104", and the sixth has ex-owner's name of the volume, "Semseddin" lettered gilt. Original end-papers of the period. Slightly age-toned on the lower pages, fading on extremities of boards, overall a very good volume. Folio. (41 x 29 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters) and Turkish with Latin letters. This folio volume consists of 104 issues of the periodical, each issue has 4 pages, which has mostly color illustrated covers as well as several b/w ones. A rare togetherness of the first 104 issues of this Turkish satirical magazine, richly illustrated with thousands of attractive illustrations and caricatures, was published in Istanbul twice a week every Wednesday and Saturday with at least four, at most eight pages, during the Letter Revolution 1928, when the transition from the Arabic alphabet to new Latin letters was ensured. The collection provides an invaluable resource, reflecting the changes in society during and after the Letter Revolution in New Turkey, 1928, placing the new Latin alphabet instead of old Arabic letters and contributing to the development of reading and writing skills of the new Turkish society, as well as "creating the basis for the rapid social evolution in the young Turkish Republic Revolution" soon after the proclamation of the Republic in 1923. The newspaper had a printing house with the same name headquartered in Bab-i Ali (The Sublime Porte of Constantinople), the place where the heart of the Ottoman press was. Burhan Cahid Morkaya left Karagöz Newspaper and founded Köroglu Newspaper in 1928 and wanted the people living in Istanbul and Anatolia to be able to read and write new letters. Indeed, during the period of its publication, Köroglu Newspaper reached the most remote corners of the New Turkish Republic with its attractive cartoons covering local and mostly international subjects. In addition to this news and cartoons, Morkaya also published Turkish reading passages with Arabic letters that were transcripted into Latin letters. Therefore, he created a great positive effect that facilitated the transition to new letters during the Turkish Alphabet Revolution. Duman 1155.

520 pages. Black and white illustrations. Text in French, English, German and a fourth language which is presumably Yugoslavian. Some Russian may also be mixed in. The language used seems to depend upon that of the contributor. Contains a wealth of technical content, the bulk of which appears to be in German and French. Includes reprint of an 1892 Electrical Engineer article on "The Tesla Multiphase Motors" plus "Nikola Tesla: The Problem of increasing human energy" reprinted from The Century Magazine, June 1900, 'The Tesla Patents' from Electrical Review, September 19, 1900 and much more. Index card laid in states this copy was presented by Comite yougoslave de l'URSI to Professor Charles. R. Burrows, whose signature appears atop front flyleaf. Printed on poor quality paper which has become embrittled, chipped and yellowed, particularly at extremities. Binding extremely fragile. Please Note: pages 6 through 10 missing. This may not be too dramatic a loss as the Table of Contents omits pages 1-8 and first lists page 9 which may have contained the Preface in Russian. Some pages uncut. Front cover and all pages prior to page 17 loose but present aside from pages listed above. Page 519-150 and back cover loose but present. Although strictly a Reading Copy, this remains a rare and substantial Tesla reference. Book
