196623893New York: Random House. Near Fine in Very Good dj. c.1966. 1st Edition see note. Hardcover. a very nice copy tight and clean with just a touch of wear at the spine ends; jacket a little rubbed on the front panel very light wear to extremities tiny closed tear at upper left of front panel. B&W photographs One of the great musicals of the 1960s adapted from Federico Fellini's film "Nights of Cabiria." It was a triumph for choreographer Bob Fosse on the stage but a little less so in his 1969 screen adaptation which substituted Shirley MacLaine for Gwen Verdon. NOTE: Although there is no "first printing" or "first edition" statement in this copy of the book I believe it to be such and to therefore constitute an exception to the usual Random House practice for their published plays. The printed price $3.95 is present on the front jacket flap along with the printing code 10/66 at the bottom corner of the flap. In addition this was part of a collection in which nearly all the published plays were review copies with publisher's slips to document the fact; although there is no slip present in this copy I believe it to also be a review copy. If someone can show me evidence of a copy that states "first printing" however I will happily stand corrected. . Random House hardcover books
1856008048Fitchburg Massachusetts: Andrew Whitney 1856. First Edition. Sheet Music. Very Good. 6 pages including cover. Portrait illustration of Robinson on the front cover. Very light dampstain along the fore-edge margin. <br /><br />Charles L. Robinson was an abolitionist leader who settled in Lawrence and worked for the New England Emigrant Aid Society which transported Free-Staters from the northeast to settle in the Kansas Territory and successfully swung the balance of power from pro-slavery advocates. He was instrumental in organizing voter fraud and intimidating pro-slavery voters which resulted in the Topeka Convention of 1856 electing Free-Staters into all important governing positions with himself as governor and creating a free-state constitution. The Topeka Convention was roundly criticized and eventually rejected by Congress and within three months President Franklin Pierce proclaimed the Topeka Government to be revolutionary and ordered the arrest of its leaders including Robinson. <br /><br />This polka was composed by one of Robinson's long-time friends from Fitchburg Massachusetts and published in the short time between his 'election' as governor and subsequent arrest as a revolutionary. <br /><br />At time of listing OCLC locates one copy of this title. None are for sale in the trade and the Rare Book Hub shows no auction records. <br /><br /> Andrew Whitney books

In a career spanning more than 60 years she was well known on Long Island for her extensive musical contributions including founding the Eastern Suffolk School of Music in Riverhead in 1977 and serving as its executive director for 10 years.

The original set is a group of loose sheets; working drafts are in 3-ring binders. Ms. Hirsch' introduction explains her purpose since according to her research - "There are also many fine books both long and short written by great pianists that suggest technical and artistic approaches for the advanced and professional performers but my purpose is hopefully to have written something for those who work primarily with beginners. I have tried to make it personal and informal while at the same time offer specific advice in the areas I consider most crucial. My hope is that if this book were to be published it could be made inexpensively in pocket book size and thus be available on counters in music stores as well as in colleges for all those who study piano and expect to teach it too" With 3 typed original letters from Ms. Hirsch to the music publishers Theodore Presser Co. Sterling Publishing Co. and Prentis Hall Publications all describing the content and asking in similar fashion to consider her book for publication. Included here are these three publishers' rejection-replies & another letter from Dover publishing which also rejected her project for various reasons.
