1902101618Collection of over 30 letters many with original envelopes and stamps a few empty envelopes letters folded some staining soiling and aging a few tears at folds; generally very legible. This collection of letters belonged to Bernard Jordan who lived in Maine. A few different addresses in Maine but the 1940 Census shows him living in Raymond Cumberland Maine which is the address on many of the letters. While the archive spans many years most of the letters are from the 1920s or earlier. Oddly last item in the group is a phone bill from 1962. Most of the content is family related and a letter from June 6 1914 wishes him happy eighteenth birthday. The lot includes one postcard. books

1982140940258Melbourne Australia: Fast Forward 1982. Complete run of 13 issues in 12 #008/009 is a double issue. Magazines often folded and sometimes staple bound with a variety of folded inserts with cassettes housed in silk-screened colored plastic wallets. Near Fine condition overall appearing to contain all inserts etc.; slightly rubbed and soiled occasional slight creasing to inserts or oxidation to staples. Small tear to rear wallet of #005. Issue 008/009 wallet gilt lettering well-rubbed. Offsetting to wallet of #011. Rare as a set. One of the very first cassette magazines which was popular financially successful and proved to be influential in the burgeoning global "cassette culture" of '80s independent music directly spawning such other projects as Sub Pop editor/ label head Bruce Pavitt was a contributor to the double-issue and the UK's Mix. The audio portion was structured somewhat like an old-timey news broadcast featuring new music as well as interviews with musicians. In addition to featuring the sounds of Aussies The Birthday Party Primitive Calculators Dead Can Dance Scientists and the Go-Betweens et al many prominent cutting-edge British and American musicians such as Pere Ubu The Clash The Fall The Residents Adam and the Ants and Gang of Four were interviewed and sometimes provided songs. Being Australian the magazine was bound to have a sense of humor. Robert Smith of The Cure got in on the act and provided "A Few Stylish Tips" in #013 about how he obtained that perfect lift for his '80s hair: soap and water. Crossword puzzles became a feature early on. Also Michael Trudgeon's design of the magazine was inspired growing in sophistication throughout the run adding inserts steadily stylishly utilizing only one or two colors in the printing process. A real acme of early '80s independent music print and design cultures. Its run lends credence to the idea that post-punk truly went beyond punk in many ways. Fast Forward unknown books
