19771002931Washington D.C. i.e. Healdsburg California: Zephyrus Image 1977. Inscribed first edition of Lucia Berlin's first publication the twenty-page chapbook "A Manual for Cleaning Ladies." Later retitled "Maggie May" the story follows a Bay Area house cleaner through her daily routine the precisely observed details of each job gradually revealing her crushing grief: "When I smile my hand goes involuntarily to my mouth. I collect sleeping pills but you know I won't do it." Berlin has inscribed this copy: "Thank you for reading me - love Lucia." The accompanying proof sheet represents pages 7-8 and 13-14 of the completed chapbook and features two of the four linocut illustrations produced by Michael Myers including the full-page image of the narrator standing on a stove "to clean an exploded Coca-Cola off the ceiling." In her lifetime Lucia Berlin found a passionate following among fellow writers winning the American Book Award in 1991 but her spare bleakly comic fiction would not reach a wider readership until 2015 when a posthumous collection of her short stories became a surprise bestseller for Farrar Straus and Giroux. A remarkable survival in fine condition inscribed by Berlin. Side-stitched pamphlet measuring 6.75 x 4.5 inches: 20. Brown paper wrappers printed in black "National Endowment for the Domestic Arts" seal to front wrapper text printed on beige paper linocut illustrations. Inscribed by Lucia Berlin on title page. Housed in original pictorial mailing envelope printed in green. With: unbound proof sheet measuring 6.75 x 9 inches printed on both sides containing two linocut illustrations.

While the text is in German the rear cover has the contents in French and English. Wikipedia: 'The Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung often abbreviated BIZ was a weekly illustrated magazine published in Berlin from 1892 to 1945. It was the first mass-market German magazine and pioneered the format of the illustrated news magazine. Under the Third Reich the Berliner Illustrirte like all other German publications was subject to Joseph Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry. In the 25 March 1934 issue it began serial publication of Hermann Göring's memoirs written by Eberhard Koebsell but was forced to withdraw them after Goebbels objected. In mid-1934 the Ullstein family business was "aryanised" and the Berliner Illustrirte became an organ of Nazi propaganda; previously non-political with the outbreak of war in 1939 it started featuring stories about the military and German victories.
