I LIKE TO EAT RIGHT ON THE DIRT is made from photographs I have made of my own children four with a text of poems I have written for them. The poems are about refusing to eat camping out and our pets; "Che the hunter Terror of mice Does many things That are not very nice%u201D. Things like that. I have also put some color around the pictures to keep things cheery.I would only add this. I am almost certain that next year 1986 Aperture will re-issue The Bikeriders. At the same time my first feature length film WILLIE will be released. I think that the attention paid to these two works might help sell the children's book."

2281665Alfred A. Knopf / The Plimpton Press 1925. Limited Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. Limited edition #158 of 750 copies. All volumes include slipcases. All books are near fine slipcases are good to very good. A piece of the Volume X slipcase spine has come loose but is included and a couple other slipcases have minor splits along seams. For reasons that are unclear the first two slipcases though numbered the same as the rest are of a different design it is possible the labels were removed from the original slipcases and replacements were made but there is no evidence of this that we can see. With a small bit of restoration this could be a beautiful set. 1925 Hard Cover. Twelve hardcover volumes in publisher's slipcases with limitation numbers handwritten on spine of each slipcase. Black cloth spines over cream cloth boards gilt titles and decorations. Set printed and bound by The Plimpton Press of Norwood Mass. on all rag water marked paper made by the Worthy Paper Co.

190417752New York: George Harjes Publisher 1904. Cloth. Very Good. WARMLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR CHARLES WILBUR DE LYON NICHOLS along the margins of his frontispiece portrait. A solid very presentable copy to boot of the 1904 1st edition of this uncommon look at the elite of America's gilded age . Bright and VG in its purple cloth with lightly-rubbed gilt-titling along the front panel very light wear at the spine ends and front tips and a bit of light spotting to the rear panel. Internally clean as could be with no writing or markings other than the author's wonderful inscription to speak of. Octavo includes official lists of "The 150" and "The 400" among the "ultra-fashionable peerage of America" as well as "a few appended essays on ULTRA-SMARTNESS". A nice piece of not only Americana but of turn-of-the-century American social and genealogical history. Records show that only 1 copy in 1913 has come to auction since its 1904 publication. <br/><br/> George Harjes, Publisher hardcover books
