193428768Chicago IL: Tower Magazines Inc. 1934. A fine copy. 28768. Large octavo single issue pictorial wrappers. Fiction by Ellery Queen Vincent Starrett Stuart Palmer Louis Golding Maurice Renard and others. A large format densely illustrated bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view was often narrated by a woman and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication . That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable. But without effort it contrived to be superb. ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE selected outstanding writers who had made their mark in the 1920s and mingled these with rising writers of the 1930s. Over the years the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field including Ellery Queen Stuart Palmer Sax Rohmer Arnold Kummer Hulbert Footner Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished often strongly compressed and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years sixty-nine issues at ten cents a copy. After three years the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE . Covers were tasteful bright and uneventful relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction four or more crime-fact articles and up to ten continuing departments about half of these slanted directly toward women. When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes . MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been and often over illustrated but it was also considerably interesting and for years excellent." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 287-90.

1939200621939. Adventure magazine issues 1939-1945. These pulp periodicals document the production and circulation of wartime fiction centered on American military action during World War II presenting narratives of combat endurance and national identity through short stories and illustrated covers designed for mass readership. Published both before and during the war the issues include contributions from writers such as W.C. Tuttle Jim Fjaalgard and Kenneth Perkins and feature recurring themes of battlefield survival imperial conflict and soldierly conduct. The combination of sensational cover art and interior war fiction provides direct evidence of how military experience and national messaging were translated into popular entertainment formats consumed by both civilians and servicemen.<br /> <br /> Six issues of Adventure magazine dated July 1939 October 1940 September 1943 September 1944 May 1945 and July 1945 each approximately 128 pages. Covers prominently feature illustrated combat scenes with titles such as "New Guinea Gold" "Slaves for Ethiopia" "War Horse" and "White Bird of Empire" foregrounding narratives tied to imperial theaters of war and Allied campaigns. The September 1943 issue titled "The Lagoon of Lost Command" depicts an American G.I. holding a Japanese soldier captive while other soldiers search nearby exemplifying the visual emphasis on confrontation and capture. Interior content consists of short fiction focused on American troops accompanied by black-and-white illustrations reinforcing scenes of combat and hardship. Additional visual and textual material includes recurring depictions of wounded soldiers continuing to fight battlefield encounters and narratives of endurance under fire.<br /> <br /> These issues were produced within a broader environment of wartime media that blended entertainment with depictions of military action contributing to the normalization of combat imagery within everyday reading material. Pulp magazines such as Adventure circulated widely during the war years offering readers accessible narratives of conflict that paralleled news reporting and official messaging while emphasizing individual acts of bravery and danger. The prominence of illustrated covers and dramatized storylines reflects the commercial strategies used to attract readers in a competitive print market shaped by wartime demand. Later regulatory shifts including the establishment of the Comics Code Authority curtailed violent and sensational imagery in related media contributing to the decline of pulp war publications in the postwar period. Minor chipping along spines and margins with light wear to edges; covers intact and interiors clean. Overall very good condition. unknown

The Crisis: A Record of the Darker Races 1968-1970 documenting African American political thought civil rights advocacy and cultural production during a transitional period between the Civil Rights Movement and the rise of Black Power. The material operates in Cultural/Representational Mode illustrating how the official publication of the NAACP articulated debates surrounding protest education racial violence and artistic expression and providing insight into mid-twentieth-century Black intellectual and institutional discourse. Founded by W.E.B. Du Bois in 1910 The Crisis functioned as a central platform for civil rights advocacy and cultural commentary and these issues reflect its continued role under Henry Lee Moon during a period of ideological and generational shift.<br /> Moon Henry Lee ed.

Coverage of events such as the Orangeburg Massacre and campus protests situates the publication within ongoing struggles over state violence and educational access while literary and artistic contributions reflect continued investment in Black cultural production. The 60th anniversary issue underscores the publication's institutional legacy while revisiting earlier intellectual frameworks alongside contemporary concerns.

24869Two items on merger with Argosy dating from 1974 both from IPC Magazines Ltd London. The other material also from the 1970s. An elusive figure Dosse is certainly a candidate for a full-length study. The novelist Sally Emerson gives an excellent account of her time as editor of ‘Books and Bookmen’ in its last days in an article titled ‘Death of a Bookman’ Standpoint magazine October 2018. These six items are in good condition lightly aged and worn. ONE: 2pp foolscap 8vo second page numbered. Complete rough draft of typed letter with manuscript corrections endorsing ‘Books and Bookmen’. Although ending ‘Yours faithfully’ the identity of the author address date and other details are absent and there is a strong possibility that Dosse wrote the letter himself in the hope of getting a prominent contributor to sign it. Another possibility is that it is by Dosse's friend Auberon Waugh see Item Seven below. It begins without preamble: ‘I hardly know Mr Philip Dosse although I am an occasional contributor to his Books & Bookmen and extremely flattered to appear in a constellation of talent which is quite extraordinary. No one who has made any sort of study of for example the May and June issues of Books and Bookmen can fail to be astonished by the diversity of talent which its editor is able to attract to the exclusive attention of new books. I do not believe that any other English language review of books and dedicated to this one purpose comes within any competitive distance. Enoch Powell may to many be an objectionable politician but his review of the Crossman Diaries extending to some 6000 words over two issues is of an unequalled fascination. Auberon Waugh is invariably at his most controversial and best and what other journal could bring together the diversities of A. L. Rowse H. J. Eysenck Lord Egremont Lord Butler Diana Mosley and dozens of others writing about books and experiences they are all uniquely qualified to deal with. It is not an exercise likely to be approved by your odd Mr Oates but it is extraordinarily diverting and valuable for most.’ Regarding Dosse’s six other titles the author of the letter notes that he has ‘at no time asked for nor ever received one penny of subsidy from the Arts Council almost the whole of whose field Messrs Hansom Books keep under stimulating review’. Turning to publishing revenue he points out that ‘Books and Bookmen’ ‘receives almost no sustenance at all from the publishers for whose wares it so brilliantly caters’. The advertising revenue is ‘trivial’ and ‘much of it I have ascertained is sponsored for one generous reason or another by Mr Dosse himself’. The author asserts that ‘for the whole of my years in publishing I cannot recall a time when the absence of such a journal as Books & Bookmen was not deplored. In distant days thousands of pounds every week were largely wasted by enormous advertising expenditures in the Sundays.’ The letter concludes: ‘I know nothing at all about the finances of Hansom Books in general or Books & Bookmen in particular and Mr Dosse may well regard these comments as impertinent interference. But for the life of me I cannot understand why publishers should expect the continuance for ever of a brilliant monthly such as Books & Bookmen has become if they are to extend no advertising support. It seems to me if I may venture to say so a quite extraordinary neglect and a rather disgraceful one.’ TWO: Duplicated typed press release headed ‘PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENTS’ with three manuscript emendations. 1p foolscap 8vo. No date or place but from 1974. Begins: ‘ARGOSY is to merge with the literary monthly BOOKS AND BOOKMEN to combine in a joint publication to be called BOOKS AND BOOKMEN & ARGOSY. The first issue of the combined monthly will be dated 1974 and published early in that month. A long list of Books & Bookmen’s ‘distinguished writers’ is given. ‘The publishers of BOOKS & BOOKMEN believe that the readers of ARGOSY will enjoy the great variety which it offers - there is something for all tastes.’ The text continues with practical details of cost and subscription with details of the ‘new publisher’ Hansom Books. THREE: TLS to Dosse from ‘S. L. Johnson / Publisher’ 3 January 1974 on letterhead of IPC Magazines Ltd London. Discussing the practical details of the handover: ‘wholesalers’ packing lists’ ‘subscription material’ advertisements and manuscripts. FOUR: Duplicated copy of TLS to unnamed party from ‘C. H. F. Vincent / Head of U.K. Sales’ 3 January 1974 on IPC Sales Department letterhead. Announcing the acquisition of Argosy by Hansom Books. FIVE: Duplicated copy of printed alphabetical list of around 200 writers’ names in three columns from Peter Ackroyd to Lord Zuckerman headed ‘books and bookmen contributors have included’. Publication details are given at the foot. SIX: Photocopy of what looks like a passport photograph enlarged to 11 x 13.5 cm headed in type ‘PHILIP DOSSE’. A balding and lugubrious middle-aged man in jacket and tie. SEVEN: Duplicated printed twenty-three line biography of Dosse beginning ‘Philip Dosse 1925-1980 began his working life as an office boy in a printing company and it was in 1949 when working in the advertising department of a newspaper that he founded his first magazine Dance and Dancers’. Ends: ‘Sadly the magazines ran into financial difficulties in 1980 and ceased trading after 30 years of publication. The devoted Dosse whose leadership was described as ‘idiosyncratic’ he kept revenue and circulation figures a secret even from the magazines’ editors although the total circulation was understood to be around 45000 was left devastated by the closure. Attempts to find a buyer proved unsuccessful and Dosse tragically took his own life on 8th September 1980. He had only a few close friends and led a very private personal life living alone in London following the death of his mother several years previously.’ Previously it is noted that ‘Dosse formed a friendship wtih some of his contributors engaging in lengthy correspondence with Harold Acton Christina Foyle and Auberon Waugh among others. Indeed Dosse exchanged letters weekly with Waugh between 1972 and 1980. These letters typically controversial and satiric make entertaining reading.’ Two items on merger with Argosy dating from 1974, both from IPC Magazines Ltd, London. The other material also from the 1970s. unknown

Showa 7 to 12 1932-37 51 assorted issues of this little series of poetry and print pamphlets by Fujita published in Tokyo by one Tomita Hikaru under the publishing house name of SHIN MYOJO. It would seem that Fujita was the only contributor. The front and rear covers are "kikai-zuri" machine printed woodcuts the contents have some intext illustrations. The sizes range from 19.9 x 14.7 cm to 22 x 15 cm. There are 2 issues from 1932 6 from 1933 11 from 1934 11 from 1935 11 from 1936 and 10 from 1937. Brooding gloomy aesthetic. Very interesting example of the sort of creative effort even amateurs were capable of in the 30s and how conversant they were with trends in world art. The pamphlets are in Japanese but often subtitled in German. As one might expect this ephemeral production is vanishingly rare. I can find no trace of it in any institution. In very good condition throughout. unknown
