197669824Minneapolis: Minnesota Products 1976. Floppy vinyl record enclosed in 9½" x 9½" printed envelope; the envelope printed with an illustrated cover and track list; a few short tears and some toning on the sleeve the contents not inspected as the envelope remains sealed as issued though some peeking reveals what appears to be a relief printed card sleeve and vinyl on the inside. From an article in Insider Magazine's July 1976 issue: "Minnesota Products is an idea that has been developing for a couple of years in the mind of Carl Franzen who makes money in advertising and spends it part of it anyway on music. Carl got together with George Hansen owner of the Symposium and Flashlight record labels and Bob Zeller whose name you may recall in connection with the album 'Heavy Gunz' a Midwest underground classic of a few years back to work out the feasibility of the project." The magazine was envisioned as a non-profit project and highlighted artists mostly musicians "who haven't chosen a strong commercial route. Listeners can look forward to hearing jazz original compositions and traditional forms like blue-grass folk and blues." All acts were local to Minnesota. Given the date of the announcement and the projected release schedule Issue 4 was likely released in late 1976 or early 1977. The artists featured include Howard Mohr the John O'Brien Ensemble Steve Tibbetts Albatross Quartet Ann Reed and Judy Foster. The Insider article announces this project as "The world's first magazine on record" and we are at least not aware of any earlier projects. And outside of a Chinese database entry for this exact issue and a couple of mentions of the magazine in musical retrospectives the series is entirely obscure. OCLC records 3 copies of issue three 1 of issue 2 and separately what may be a full run of issues 1-4 at the Minnesota Historical Society. Minnesota Products unknown

190824191Washington: Government Printing Office 1908. 9" x 6" 42 pp in original side-stapled wrappers. Minor wear to rear wrapper else fine. An important primary source relating to the controversial proposal to dam the Tuolumne River flood the Hetch Hetchy Valley then part of Yosemite National Park and create a reservoir to provide water to San Francisco and the surrounding region. San Francisco officials had floated the idea as early as 1901 but the proposal gained new urgency following the 1906 earthquake and fire. Opponents of the project most notably John Muir argued passionately for the preservation of the valley's great natural beauty and a vision of "development" based on tourism and recreation rather than support for urban growth. This pamphlet records congressional debate on the matter and includes statements submitted to congress from various parties on both sides. The outcome was a joint resolution "to allow the city and county of San Francisco to exchange land in the Yosemite National Park and adjacent national forest for portions of the Hetch Hetchy and Lake Eleanor Reservoir sites for purposes of a municipal water supply. " Much additional debate and negotiation ensued but ultimately construction of the dam began in 1913 and the valley was flooded in 1923. Government Printing Office unknown
