20010002372LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA CA. Very Good. 2001. On offer is a fascinating original early 21st Century manuscript diary handwritten by a very open very revealing unidentified 25 year old African American woman in Los Angeles California. Using a very chic Italian Il Papiro leather journal book the author details her intimate life with few holds barred. Dated October 11 2001 through to March 7 2003 she writes 115 full pages making no secret of this woman's intimate relations and sometimes predatory approach sex making for a treasure for researchers and historians of gender relations and sexual mores of the early 21st century. Here are some snippets: "October 11 2001 - Its been awhile since last I wrote. I had to go out and buy this nifty new diary. Going a few days w/out being able to write made me realize how much I rely on it to express feelings. John and I are well. He and I have been spending more time with each other. Tuesday he came over at 2am and greeted me w/warm hugs and next thing I knew we were on my piano getting it on. Then on the floor. John is sexy and fun but often I go w/out an orgasm. I wonder sometimes if I still have "Y" on the brain I still think of him and occasionally I think of calling him for "old times sake" but I don't and I won't. I want something lasting and I think I have that w/John. I just have to tutor him a little more about what really turns me on. Recently I had to speak to John about ." "October 19 2001 - At around 2:30am ear-lee this morning John showed up at my door completely in the buff. I had been expecting him and he called and told me I didn't even consider that it might be true. That's what I like about John his self-deprecating humor. I had set up my rooms w/candles and soft music. I also wore the lingerie that "P" got me for the first time. John seemed to really like it and even more so when I danced for him. Sorry to say however that I never c__. John is good in bed but perhaps I need to get more use to him. I really like it on the side and this morning I did c___ w/ a little help from my trusty vibrator. I also cooked eggs w/cheese sausage and french toast for him. I had been wanting to fix a meal for him for a long time and I'm pretty happy with the results. John behaved as if it were good and cleaned his entire plate. Told me how good it was and thanked me. ." "November 27 2001 - John has gone off to Vegas for the weekend. I was a little upset at first because it was so last minute and done in a way that seemed to show little consideration for me. He was supposed to call me once he and his boys had arrived but I haven't heard a word and I refuse to call him. Alls I know is that if he can run off w/his crew on his four-day then he can do the same w/me. Personally CB and I think John was trying to beat me to the punch since we had already told him that we were going next month for the Maxwell Concert. Anyway Michael D. called me the other night and after John's act I decided to go out with him to dinner. So first of all I made sure I looked good. My hair nails and clothing were hooked. Looking good and smelling good I showed up at the door in N. Hollywood Car was in shop. I know I looked good and so did he. Could not take his eyes off of me. We had dinner at Gladstones at Universal City Walk. Michael looked the same which is not necessarily good. IN fact he didn't look good at all. He could not even hold a candle to my John. He was the same ole talker and further disappointed me by asking me if we could "pick up where we left off." I gave him flat out NO! I mean he could have tried to woo me. He thought I was that same chick he knew from a year and a half ago. But I played it cool displaying little or no emotion. He'd put his hands on me and I." ".October 30 2001 - .I walked into a dark house w/him standing behind the door. He pushed up against the door and it got hot. The big show even had us in a vertical 69. John really gets my blood .and juices flowing. It's interesting because Terence came over Sunday part of me wanted to see if there was something left. And from all indications it is. I mean Terence still desires me but I don't look at him the same. The kisses were ." "December 19 2001 - John finally came over last night for his dinner a whole 2 weeks after his b-day.I put candles in John's cookies n cream ice cream cake and he blew them out. What was curious is that when he got down on his knees to blow out the candles he was down there for so long I thought he was praying but he eventually blew them out. I wonder what he was wishing for Anyway I wore one of my best dresses and underneath I wore black bra panties and garter. Very sexy right While John certainly admired his woman's." "January 4 2002 - Happy New year ! Well at least I hope so. SO far its under way w/enrollment in the certification program at UCLA and a vigorous job search. Anyway last week I had my first informal dinner party which included John George and CB. Everyone was late despite me setting an open time and telling folks that I was cooking. Dinner was salad chicken and rice. John was the latest and when he finally showed u at least bore gifts. HE left again and brought back tons of games. Dinner was cool and then we played games and got drunk. John was feeling extra randy following me and mouthing the words "I want you." Before the guest could leave he had my pants ." "November 25 2001- .I waited & 3 hours later he still had not called. So I called and let him know what I thought. He called later & apologized and we talked. He made up for it and we rode around together looking for my car. He then took me to the movies. Afterwards we went to the market and bought junk. John and I ate our junk food while watching "Seven" and held me. He continued to hold me and we kissed and eventually I fell asleep in his arms. It's interesting because the next night we were cuddling and he pulls me on top of him and starts."

20020009163LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA SEATTLE WASHINGTON. Very Good. 2002. On offer is a unique one-of-a-kind and often quite bizarre handwritten journal and diary from a man going through a difficult and intense time in his life. The writing is interesting and occasionally quite strange often going back and forth between straightforward thoughts and poetic expressions and passages. What is most evident from the beginning is that the author is going through a very difficult divorce. Here in this book is where he puts all his deepest and most intimate thoughts about his life his failed relationship and his child. The journal begins with an original poem by the author and then goes into a 16-page description of the breakdown and dissolution of his relationships and his whole life. I think the only thing that kept me going was her. Life on my side had just about hit rock bottom. Newly divorced and the mental skid was on - I had packed one small bag walked out the door and didn't look back til it was too late. She was everything that woman I'd left behind wasn't. Full of energy a lust for life sexy as the sun and beautiful. She lit up something in me I didn't even know existed. He writes living in a warehouse with no heat in Los Angeles California. He never explicitly says it but it seems hes a carpenter mentioning woodworking and house work a few time. Its obvious from the writing that hes miserable. He moves up to Seattle with the light of his life his girlfriend Malea. It doesnt work out well for his girlfriend: Wasn't all that great for Malea however as my sister looked at her as the "other woman" - the one who had broke up my marriage stolen her beloved sister-in-laws husband and apparently had done so without conscience. At the end of the 16 pages he writes: I stayed with Malea - she was so beautiful. I think that was the beginning of the end. The next page contains another original poem. After the poem comes a letter: Dear Malea it has been a long time since I have seen you - driving away from that airstrip in New Orleans.I have tried to remember you as a beautiful person. You know that from the last conversation we had on the phone. That's hard to do now. You told Adam that I was psychologically and/or verbally abusive to you and you felt he had taken my "side" in our break-up. It seems she accused him of abusing her physically and emotionally. By the tone of his writing it might not be far from the truth: You said that I treated you poorly - not very well - your words. I tried. You could never see that. You didn't have a place to live I gave you what I had. You had no one to help you move - your friends Where were they You always put on your bright and shiny face for them never let them see that depression the fear and anger in you. Then you tell them that I was abusive. Fuck you. Your conscience will follow you all the days of your life no matter how you try to convince yourself otherwise. Fuck your therapist. That stupid bitch wouldn't counsel us yet felt she could counsel you on." More poems follow as well as short dated entries that focus on the other side of his life apart from his breakup. He comments on his work and in November 2002 on George W. Bush as president and the war in Iraq. There are also his personal goals: relationship with Heather first wife and Finnley his child. Spiritual growth - relating the presence of the Lord to life. The rest of the pages are devoted to sketches of carpentry related work and a few torn pages used for estimates drawings materials etc. It appears the author used the book as his diary and also for a bit of his work. The combination is very interesting and unique. The book is approximately 50 pages in length. Almost all the pages have writing in them. About 30 or so of those pages are his journal and thoughts and the rest are the pages devoted to his work as a carpenter. The book is a ring binder in good condition. The covers show aesthetic wear especially on the edges but nothing structurally. All the pages are still attached to the rings. There is some wear on the beginning and end pages but all else still look good. The handwriting is easy to read in a combination of pencil and blue and black ink. The pencil is slightly faded but can still be easily read. The book is 9 x 12 inches in size.

20060001772OAKLAND CALIFORNIA CA 'OAK TOWN'. Very Good. 2006. On offer is an absolutely fascinating pair 2 of startlingly candid and intimate contemporary manuscript diaries handwritten by a 'Chola' girl providing an unparalleled look into the life of a Latina woman living and loving within a gang. Dated November 12th 2006 through January 10th 2010 one reads of sex drugs court dates made and missed children multiple sexual partners and the internal politics of gang life. Due to the fact the books are contemporary we decline to name the woman fully in the description but she is identified in the diaries. Interestingly she always signs her entries 'Baby Girl'. From the mundane of buying her man boxers socks and wife beaters buying drugs taking drugs hanging curtains to servicing him sexually except after he comes directly from another woman and still smells of her dealing with her children and his infidelity the reader comes to understand that she is not happy. She admits that things have gone downhill since another lover went to jail. At one point we read of a potential altercation brewing as another woman accuses her of being a prostitute and ones expects to read that some violence between them will occur but it seems to fade away. Researchers and historians of the time and place will relish the intimacies she writes as they all point to a life that 99% of the world can only guess at or assume from the few movies about gang life. This is really one of the most extraordinary diaries we have read. While we did not find a specific reference to Oakland California she mentions 'Oak Town' and refers to a number of locations that clinch the fact she is in Oakland. The first book is almost entirely full and the second a bit spottier but a gripping narrative throughout.

20080008114LOS ANGELES . Fair. 2008. Softcover. On offer is an interesting unattributed undated 21-page notepad of an African American stand-up comedian written sometime after 2008 from references to President Barack Obama this stream-of conciousness rather profane narrative gives an insight into the hard-scrabble life of poor inner-city blacks. For a social or urban historian these jokes gloss over the grim realities experienced by many who inhabit a partially-hidden underclass.

20090001667FORT SMITH ARKANSAS. Good. 2009. On offer is an interesting and unique original 2009 manuscript diary and journal handwritten by prisoner D. Anderson who was incarcerated in the Arkansas Department of Correction penal system. It was used by the author as a diary journal datebook and ledger though rather sparsely and sporadically but still an interesting look into the mind of a prisoner and what goes through his head as he deals with his incarceration.

20130008021LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA CA. Good. 2013. On offer are five 5 fascinating notebooks handwritten by a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department female employee who served at the department for over 30 years. Four of the notebooks cover the period from February to May 2013 with some gaps and December 2013 and the fifth one documents August 2015. The employee who identifies herself as Fae was 58 in 2013 and had served for 24 years at the Internal Affairs Bureau IAB. At the time described in her diaries she was in the process of transfer from the IAB to the Marina del Rey Police Station. It can be understood that the transfer was a result of a conflict situation at the department she does not spare harsh words writing about some of senior officers at the department regrets retirement of Captain Burns and is happy about her transfer to the Marina del Rey Station: "I am glad I am leaving all their crap behind." She describes in detail her transfer luncheon naming many of the guests praises some and slurs the other and retells her farewell speech. Having served at the Sheriff's department for over 30 years she knows many officers and not sworn employees and seems to be well informed about the department politics if not personally involved into it. She writes about meetings and her training and refers to the situation at the department - it was investigated for allegations of inmate abuse and guard misconduct in the jails the investigation later resulted in indictment and conviction of undersheriff Paul Tanaka and sheriff Lee Baca: "Boy things in the dept are getting a little messy. Greg was telling me Tanaka may be gone by the end of March. I wonder what would Rhambo do The way the things are so messy right now I don't think he would want the U/S not after the way Tanaka has screwed it up". She also mentions many names of LASD officers and employees including Alicia Ault captain at the IAB Reginald Gautt captain at the Marina del Rey Station McSweeney captain Cecil Rhambo currently the city manager at the city of Compton. Large portion of the diaries is about her romantic relationships with a person whom she calls "babe" "Ming Tai" "my boy" they usually meet at the daytime - she picks him at a parking lot and takes to her place for a couple of hours the description of their intimate relationship is rather explicit at times. She is determined to have him move to her place which he finally does in 2015. The diaries include many details about her tastes interests and aspirations relations with different people shopping habits and leisure activities and her financial situation.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF U.S. POLICE NOT SWORN EMPLOYEES LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT LASD INTERNAL AFFAIRS BUREAU IAB COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING CRIME CRIMINALITY JUSTICE SYSTEN CAC TANAKA LEE BACA CHEF JAIL CORRUPTION SCANDAL CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES COUNTY MARINA DEL REY STATION LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO . unknown
