First Edition with many thousands of coloured and monochrome photographs and maps throughout; strongly bound in publisher's black cloth gilt backs ORIGINAL WRAPPERS PRESERVED a fine run. After the Battle 'ATB' magazine represents an innovative approach to the history and topography of WWII. Founded in 1973 by Winston Ramsey and colleagues it delivers a unique 'then and now' photographic account of many aspects of the conflict matching archival photographs with present day counterparts a task calling for much meticulous and dedicated research. As a result ATB occupies an important and well-nigh unique position in the literature and study of WWII. RUNS OF THIS STATURE AND IN THIS CONDITION ARE VERY SCARCE.

Images are largely superb and without edgewear while the four-flap portfolio shows mild edgewear.

Subjects include random assortment Thomas Bailey Aldrich Bismarck Eleanore Duse U.S. Grant Nathaniel Hawthorne Thomas Jefferson Leo XIII Mozart Florence Nightingale Louis Pasteur P.H. Sheridan Leo Tolstoy John Greenleaf Whittier. see "Alphabetical Index of Plates" image for complete list. A complete set of these is exceptionally scarce -- especially in such bright exceptional condition and with the rarely-present portfolio in nice condition -- and would be nearly impossible to assemble.

1936171002New York: Time Inc 1936. Vintage "Dummy No. 2" "Rehearsal: A 'Dummy' for the Week Ending Sept. 24 1936" prospectus for LIFE magazine housed in its original green untitled folder with "LIFE" printed in the magazine's iconic white sans-serif font on the inner pocket.<br /> <br /> The second "Dummy" created for the newly proposed LIFE magazine prepared for prospective advertisers and produced and distributed by Time Inc. two months prior to the November 23 1936 publication of the magazine's premiere issue. Of note the name LIFE is un-noted in the "Dummy" and found only on the pocket of the folder.<br /> <br /> The prospective found here contains 23 articles or photographic or illustrated essays of which only one "'Overweather' is TWA's Big New Word in Air Transport" appeared in the first issue. Other articles include one article on Josef Stalin "The Communist Dictator as Communists MUST See Him" four articles on Adolf Hitler "Hitler Speaks" "Lloyd George and Hitler" "Nürnberg 1936" and "Hitler's Retreat" a five-page article on African American sharecroppers "Cotton Pickin'" with photographs by Alfred Eisenstaedt and a five-page article on photographer Paul Outerbridge Jr. with five color photographs including two nudes one full page which would've almost certainly been deemed inappropriate for LIFE magazine in 1936.<br /> <br /> One of the most important publications in the history of photojournalism and arguably the most iconic magazine of the twentieth century LIFE was one of the most popular magazines in the US from 1936 to the 1960s. LIFE premiered as a weekly publication on November 23 1936 and ran until December 29 1972 when it transitioned to only "special issues." In October 1978 the magazine was relaunched as a monthly publication until March 2000 when Time Inc. announced the publication of LIFE would end with its May 2000 issue. The magazine was briefly revived in 2004-2007 as a free weekly supplement to US newspapers and still releases "special editions" for notable occasions and events.<br /> <br /> 10.75 x 14 inches in saddle-stapled wrappers. About Near Fine with starting to the binding housed in a 11.5 x 14.5 inch Very Good green pocketed folder with closed tears to the pocket and starting to the center fold. Time Inc unknown

17853784<b><i>Founding of Harvard Medical School</i></b><br /><br /><i>The Boston Magazine</i> was published from October 1783 to December 1786 and was the first magazine to be published in Boston in the aftermath of the American Revolution. A major attraction of this issue is the presence of the front and rear printed wrappers although they are frayed and detached. The front wrapper features a large woodcut of the State House and surrounding buildings in Boston.The first 3 1/2 pages of the<i> Magazine</i> are Harvard's announcement from September 1783 of the creation of "the Medical Institution" now known as Harvard Medical School. This is followed by about two pages of an address "to the students in physic" i.e. the medical students reflecting upon the first two years of the medical school and outlining the requirements for a medical degree. About two pages are devoted to the sailing directions into and out of Plymouth Harbour. A brief news item in the "Monthly Chronology" reports a meeting to be held in October in Falmouth in the District of Maine on creating a "separate government" for the eastern counties -- a very early report on a separation that would not happen for another 35 years. Issues of <i>The Boston Magazine</i> in the original wrappers are extremely uncommon.<b>References</b>: Mott<i> A History of American Magazines 1741-1850</i>: Vol. I p. 28.

1939200611939. Archive of Adventure magazine issues 1939-1941 documents the role of pulp publishing in shaping popular understandings of war military heroism and national identity in the years surrounding U.S. entry into World War II. Originally an adventure fiction periodical the magazine increasingly incorporated war-themed narratives as global conflict intensified presenting stories of combat espionage and military life to both civilian readers and servicemen. Contributions by authors including W. C. Tuttle Kenneth Perkins and others situate the publication within the broader pulp fiction network that disseminated narratives of American and Allied action. Cover lines such as "Attack on America!" "Murder in Martinique" and "They Can Be Licked!" demonstrate the framing of conflict through urgency and resolve while interior stories emphasized endurance strategy and battlefield experience. The October 1941 issue's depiction of paratroopers and the January 1940 cover illustrating armored combat reflect the growing prominence of mechanized and airborne warfare in public imagination prior to and during the early stages of U.S. involvement.<br /> <br /> Adventure. New York: Butterick Publishing Company 1939-1941. Archive of eight issues: April 1939; July 1939; January 1940; December 1940; February 1941; March 1941; October 1941; December 1941. Each issue approximately 128 pages in illustrated wrappers. Covers feature color illustrations emphasizing combat scenes including infantry engagement armored warfare and aerial operations with prominent headlines highlighting featured stories. Interior contents consist of short fiction often accompanied by illustrations depicting battlefield action and military environments.<br /> <br /> Issued during a transitional period between prewar uncertainty and active U.S. participation following December 1941 these magazines align with the expansion of mass media engagement with global conflict and the normalization of military themes in popular culture. The visual and narrative emphasis on combat resilience and tactical ingenuity contributed to a shared cultural vocabulary of war that circulated widely through inexpensive print. The later decline of pulp magazines following mid-twentieth-century shifts in publishing and content regulation underscores the historical specificity of these materials within wartime media ecosystems. Light wear with occasional chipping at spines and margins; interiors clean and complete; overall very good condition. unknown

RCA COSMAC VIP a build it yourself microcomputer sold to hobbyists and students archive of user programming periodicals 1978 to 1980 documenting the late 1970s culture of kit computer ownership reader written software and newsletter based technical exchange before home computing became a retail software market. This low cost kit computer was built around the RCA 1802 microprocessor a hexadecimal keypad cassette storage and a television display; owners did not receive a finished consumer appliance but a small machine that rewarded programming repair expansion and correspondence with other users. "VIPER" and "PIPs for VIPs" show how Aresco Terry Laudereau Tom Swan and a dispersed readership turned the VIP into a practical community machine through CHIP 8 code machine language routines hardware modifications games display experimentation in a compiled user manual meant to increase the usability and accessibility to the niche market of early computer users.<br /> <br /> VIPER: The RCA COSMAC VIP. Columbia Maryland: Aresco 1978 to 1980. Approximately 18 issues about 30 pages each with one 160 page copy of PIPs for VIPs and two duplicate small format copies of VIPER Index to Volume I. Volume I includes issues dated June 1978 August 1978 September 1978 October 1978 November 1978 January 1979 February 1979 March 1979 April 1979 and May 1979 with covers and articles including "A Brief History of the VIP" "VIP OWNERS UNITE!"

"Super Sound" "Memory Expander" "Simple Sound Board" "Color Display" "Expansion Keyboard" and "Tiny BASIC." Volume II includes issues dated July 1979 August 1979 September 1979 November 1979 December 1979 January 1980 February and March 1980 and June 1980 with articles and departments on reader input and output CHIP-8 interpretation machine language programming games music hardware PIPs for VIPs modifications Tiny BASIC machine language subroutines extended display routines and the SCRT jump table. The run shows the VIP user community working through the practical problems of early home computin such as how to enter programs save them to cassette expand memory connect printers improve sound and color correct published code and make a small kit computer perform tasks beyond the manufacturer's basic documentation.<br /> <br /> The first issue explains the newsletter as a response to a market "flooded with computer-oriented magazines and newsletters" that did not support the COSMAC VIP and states that the publication would print user notes bulletins tips programs hardware news software material club information and reader correspondence. The later issues continue the reader based model with tables of contents naming "Reader I/O" "CHIP-8 Interpreter" "Machine Language" "VIP Games" "PIPS Mods" "Music" "Hardware" "VIP Tiny BASIC Machine Language Subroutines" "Extended Display Subroutine" and "SCRT Jump Table" while also recording price changes product notices advertising and corrections.<br /> <br /> The archive records the point in which personal computing moved from hobbyist kits toward household machines. The Altair 8800 had reached readers of Popular Electronics in 1975 the Apple II Commodore PET and TRS 80 entered the consumer market in 1977 and publications clubs and mail order suppliers became the working infrastructure for users whose computers still required soldering typing code from print saving programs to cassette and debugging with little institutional support. One page in PIPs for VIPs states that Aresco sold a cassette containing the book's programs for $5 because otherwise "you'll have to enter all the code yourself" then defines VIPER as "composed solely of reader contributions - programs hardware mods tutorials and ideas written by VIP users for VIP users." Three hole punching throughout; some issues show wear occasional marks or checks in pencil. Overall good condition.
