Nicely printed on good paper the catalogue is organized alphabetically by author and first words of the title.Â The description are in short-title format indicating size number of volumes and shelf location.Â One of the strengths of the catalogue is its collection Boston and New England history with a special emphasis on printing history.Â It also includes a strong collection of American and English literature and history and many titles in the field of decorative arts.

BOSTON STRANGLER GEROLD FRANKABAA

The Boston Strangler

196614694JNew York: New American Library 1966. First Edition First Printing. Signed and inscribed by Gerold Frank to musician and writer Artie Shaw. Inscribed on the half-title. â€œFor Artie fellow worker in a brambled vineyard. Most cordially Gerold New York Oct. 1 1966.â€ With Shawâ€™s bookplate. Very good in a very good dust jacket with some light rubbing and small tears. The basis of the 1968 motion picture directed by Richard Fleischer and starring Tony Curtis as the mass murderer De Salvo and Henry Fonda as the chief detective that got the murderer to confess. Arthur Jacob Arshawsky 1910 - 2004 better known as Artie Shaw started out his career in music at thirteen as a saxophone player and switched to the clarinet at sixteen. He gained experience and skill while on the road at a young age which lead to steady work in the 30s as a session musician and performing with various bands and orchestras and on radio. His first critical acclaim came with his performance of â€œInterlude in B-flat" at a swing concert at the Imperial Theater in New York in 1935. And during the swing era Shaw's big band enjoyed such enduring hits like Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" and Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" "Back Bay Shuffleâ€ "Moonglowâ€ "Rosalie" "Frenesi" and "Summit Ridge Drive." Throughout his career he worked with many of the great jazz musicians and vocalists of his day including Helen Forrest Mel Torme drummers Buddy Rich and Dave Tough guitarists Barney Kessel Jimmy Raney and Tal Farlow and trombonist-arranger Ray Conniff. A charismatic and complicated man Shaw was married eight times most notably to actresses Lana Turner Ava Gardner Doris Dowling and Evelyn Keyes Betty Kern the daughter of songwriter Jerome Kern and â€˜Forever Amberâ€™ author Kathleen Winsor. In 2004 he was presented with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition to his musical career and accomplishments he is the author of an autobiography â€˜The Trouble With Cinderella: An Outline of Identityâ€™ three short novels; â€˜I Love You I Hate You Drop Dead!â€™ a collection of short stories â€˜The Best of Intentions and Other Storiesâ€™ and an autobiographical novel titled â€˜The Education of Albie Snowâ€™ which sadly never made it to publication.

An Appeal to the Good Sense of the Legislature and the Community in Favor of a New Bridge to South Boston

182520637Boston: True and Greene 1825. First Edition. 22 pp complete with original wrappers but with the stitching perished so gatherings are loose. Pink staining to front wrapper edgewear otherwise very good. Scarce pamphlet criticizing monopolies in general and more specifically the factions who opposed a new toll-free bridge in Boston because it would be detrimental to the interests of those holding a charter and collecting tolls for the existing Charles River bridge. Moser's Daniel Webster bibliography attributes this eloquently written pamphlet to Massachusetts State Senator David Henshaw 1791-1852. We have not been able to confirm this but it seems reasonable given that he was one of the leaders of the Democratic Party in Boston belonged to a group of real estate investors who would benefit from population growth spurred by the proposed new bridge and "represented the growing group of Bostonians who were shut out from the traditionally privileged class" Haines and Sherwood Supreme Court in American Government and Politics p. 32. Daniel Webster was one of the attorney representing the interests of the Charles River Bridge Company which was incorporated in 1785. Ultimately in a landmark decision in favor of free enterprise Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge 1837 the Unites States Supreme Court ruled that the charter of the Charles River Bridge Company did not exclude the state of Massachusetts from chartering another bridge nearby.
