MYSTERY MAGAZINE: THE ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE MAGAZINE COVER TITLE

193316181Dunellen N.J.: Tower Magazines Inc. 1933. Loss and fraying to spine edge light edge rubbing and wear with some closed tears and stress creases. A good to very good copy. Uncommon. 16181. Large octavo single issue pictorial wrappers. "The Murder Club" by H. Bedford Jones. Also fiction by Herman Landon Barry Perowne and others. A large format densely illustrated bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view was often narrated by a woman and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication . That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable. But without effort it contrived to be superb. ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE selected outstanding writers who had made their mark in the 1920s and mingled these with rising writers of the 1930s. Over the years the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field including Ellery Queen Stuart Palmer Sax Rohmer Arnold Kummer Hulbert Footner Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished often strongly compressed and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years sixty-nine issues at ten cents a copy. After three years the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE . Covers were tasteful bright and uneventful relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction four or more crime-fact articles and up to ten continuing departments about half of these slanted directly toward women. When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes . MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been and often over illustrated but it was also considerably interesting and for years excellent." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 287-90.

A sammelband of material related to the Barrage Balloon School Department of Tactics Camp Tyson Tennessee

194128133Camp Tyson Tennessee; Camp David N. C.: various 1941. First Edition. Boards. Good. First Edition. 89 leaves 11-blank 1-63 pp plate 4 1-16 pp 6 pp 26 pp. Blue cloth spine over blue card covers soiling. Mimeographed typescripts. Dampstaining to upper corner throughout. Card covers creased. Previous owner stamp "Property of Nicholas A. Parisi" on front flyleaf. Irregular printing quality. Paper browned throughout. Illustrated. Boards. This sammelband contains five items with no proper title page or index. It is a fascinating variety of material that was used for training in the Barrage Balloon School Camp Tyson Tennessee for WWII. The first item contains 87 leaves plus two indices detailing ground and air based targets likely to be seen by Balloon operators. This item is maddeningly bound out of order with the indices thrown in haphazardly. Part I contains 30 leaves of ground based targets with everything from a British Infantry Tank MK III "Valentine" to the Panzerfampfwagon III a German medium tank to scout cars howitzer and armored cars. Part II contains 57 leaves identifying various aircraft. The index for this part notes this is part of a "Target Recognition Instructors Course" and lists sixty aircraft. We have not taken the time to sort out if the indices are representative of the contents but spot checks conclude a likely correlation. Each leaf contains one or two pages of commentary on the target how to identify it it's characteristics and sometimes conversational assessments of its usefulness. Item two in this sammelband is titled "Rigging and Fabric Repair Revised Edition" prepared by Clarence Vladimir Capt. C. A. C. Senior Instructor. Apparently created by the Division of Enlisted Specialists Barrage Balloon School Camp David N. C. 2 63 pages plus one plate it is densely written with illustrations throughout. Much on knot construction. Item three is "Rigging and Fabric Repair Barrage Ballooon Training Center 1941" 2 16 pages plus one plate and six figures plus definitions. A presumably earlier version of Item two above with less space given over to illustrations.

THE CHRISTMAS CARAVAN OF LOVE FOR FRED M. KIRBY

192758169Wilkes-Barre Pa: Smith-Bennett Corp. 1927. Scarce First Edition. A collection of letter tributes to Kirby and presented in this book form during a 1927 Christmas Party at the Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Barre. Fred Morgan Kirby 1861-1940 was from Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania and the founder of the F. M. Kirby & Co. 5 & 10-cent Store chain and a philanthropist. Kirby’s company was a major rival of the much larger F. W. Woolworth & Co. and the two businesses merged in 1912. Fred Kirby became a Vice President of the F. W. Woolworth & Co. which was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The financial success of the F.W. Woolworth chain gave Fred Kirby in the early decades of the twentieth century an estimated fortune of approximately thirty to fifty million dollars. This enabled the businessman to establish the Fred Morgan Kirby Foundation. He became a shareholder in many other corporations including the Allegheny Railroad Company. He was also well-respected for his philanthropic spirit and he was a major benefactor to Wilkes-Barre the town where his success began. He donated the money for a community health center in memory of his mother Angeline Elizabeth Slater Kirby. He also donated the money for a park and its upkeep to be in the center of Wilkes-Barre as well as numerous other cultural institutions throughout the city. In addition to these philanthropic activities Fred Kirby became one of Lafayette College’s foremost benefactors. By far his most significant endowments to the college were for the establishment of the Fred Morgan Kirby Professorship of Civil Rights in 1921 and for the construction of the Kirby Hall of Civil Rights in 1929. The book contains laudatory letters from political leaders businessmen and religious leaders. A very scarce book!. Quarto brown limp faux-leather; unpaginated. Assembled and Presented by Hugh Weir.
