1787000055Göttengen: J. C. Dieterich 1787. Half Calf. Very Good . Folio 39.2 x 24.6 cm Large paper copy bound in later half calf and marble boards. Collation: 2 iii-xlv 1 Err. 1-124 8 pp. 31 3 folding engraved plates. The present half calf binding replaced the original green-paper boards. The new binding has raised bands and gilt decorated panels with brief gilt title and author stamped into red morocco label in upper panel. The boards and corners are in very good condition. There is upper edge paper repair to front free end paper and title page presumably replacing removed early ownership information. The text proper including the half title not mentioned by Sabin is very clean and bright. The personal circular stamp of previous owner Inz. Mgr. M. Kubiak is in the blank area of the fore edge on p. xxxix and the lower right corner of Tab. III. The plates are generally very clean except for Tab XVIII XXVI XXIX and XXXI where there is striking from the printing of the plate or minor spot in center area away from image Tab. XXXI. Plate XXVI has the most striking near the stub area. It is also the only plate that was placed on the stub too high and the upper edge with Tab number was trimmed during the rebinding with number unreadable. The table on pp. xxxviii- xlv lists properties of 21 North American trees with aspects of growth roots base location/habitat bark wood/lumber leaves sex flowering time seeds seed maturity beginning of growth life span propagation and uses of timber. <br/><br/>Each tree illustrated is discussed separately in the text portion of this work. Wangenheim gives the German Latin and English name for each tree along with Latin description and cites authors who have named and described the tree previously. Several of the trees were new and are described by Wangenheim who cites Linneaus Species Plantarum and Gronovius Flora Virginiana for the other trees. This is one of the first systematic treatment of North American trees with illustrations that would be suitable for a climate outside North America other than Catesby's 1763 Hortus britanno-americannus… and predates Michaux's first illustrated work on oakes by 14 years. There was an earlier publication by Wangenheim that was more of a catalog of trees he observed in his travels as an Hessian soldier with the British troops during the War of Independence. All of the plates were made from field drawings done by Wangenheim although none of them is signed. Johnston notes Cleveland Collection p. 537 that Wangenheim returned to "Prussia where he engaged in forestry. This is the first edition of this work on introducing North American trees into Germany. This is the first edition of this work on introducing North American trees into Germany." Cleveland 574; Lib. Arnold Arboretum p. 730; Nissen BBI 2105; Rehder I 304; Sabin 101238 J. C.

2010406415London: Black Dog Publishing 2010. A near fine copy with some wear to jacket. 9.75 x 9.75 inches. 190 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original blue boards; dust jacket. First edition. "Since establishing himself as a critically acclaimed landscape photographer in the 1970s Fabian Miller has reinvented himself as an artist specializing in camera-less darkroom-produced photographic images exploring the elements of light time and color in a notably spare but also vividly spiritual aesthetic style which recalls elements of Modernism and intuitive scientific exploration. Fabian Miller exposes light directly onto photographic paper through substances such as plants engine oil cut-paper shapes glass and water. The methods used in the capturing of Fabian Miller's artworks means that they are nearly impossible to accurately reproduce resulting in one of a kind strikingly luminous pieces; a record of light's behavior caught on photographic paper.The Colour of Time features images personally retouched under the artist's direction and therefore provides the most accurate printed representation of his work: "The pictures I make are of nothing which exists in the world. What I am trying to suggest is a state of mind which lifts the spirits and gives strength and some kind of clarity" the publisher. <br/><br/> Black Dog Publishing hardcover books

Trade PB B&W photographs INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Adam West on the title page with an additional handwritten note from West to the inscribee laid in. The author recounts his experience of portraying Batman in the campy 1960s TV series. Includes a full annotated episode guide to the series. From the author's prefatory note: "It is certainly not my intention to celebrate anything about myself within these pages. Bookshelves are heavy with autobiography. To add my two cents' worth of glowing comments on my life and times seems an unworthy exercise. This modest book is not the memoirs of an aging actor nor written simply for the pleasure of the author. This book is for the many loyal Batfans who have asked for it." Signed by Author .
