1976List1517Los Angeles 1976. Eight kodachrome slides showing Foxx with one possibly related slide of a woman included as well. Unpublished originally taken for the May 6 1976 issue of Jet Magazine Vol. 50 No. 7 which is also included here. Fine condition magazine nearly fine with slightest tanning. Fine. Redd Foxx left NBC in 1976 after a successful run of six seasons of Sanford and Sun and went to ABC producing a short-lived show called The Redd Foxx Comedy Hour which was canceled after its first season due to poor ratings despite wide critical acclaim. Jet Magazine covered the transition in an article in 1976 with photographs by Isaac Sutton. Offered here are eight unused images from the shoot capturing Foxx in a range of setings including a swimming pool and on his moped riding around Los Angeles. A nice group from the height of Foxx’s career in comedy although his stint at ABC would wind up being a disappointment considering his earlier success. unknown

It began as a "suggestive purchase list" prepared by Bertha Mahony Miller and Elinor Whitney Field proprietresses of the country's first bookstore for children The Bookshop for Boys and Girls. Opened in 1916 in Boston as a project of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union the bookshop closed in 1936 but The Horn Book Magazine continues in its mission to "blow the horn for fine books for boys and girls" as Mahony wrote in her first editorial. In each bimonthly issue The Horn Book Magazine includes articles about issues and trends in children's literature essays by artists and authors and reviews of new books and paperback reprints for children. Articles are written by the staff and guest reviewers including librarians teachers historians and booksellers. The January issue includes the speeches of the winners of the Boston GlobeHorn Book Award and each July issue includes the same from the winners of the year's Newbery Medal and Caldecott Medal. The Fanfare list published in December is the editors' selection of the best children's and young adult books of the year.3 No lists were published from 1941 to 1945 or 1955 to 1958.
