40645A Philadelphie et se trouve … Paris. Chez Moutard Imprimeur-Libraire de la Reine. 1782. 8vo 20.1cm The First Edition ix1222p. in contemporary full tree calf gilt panel borders and decorations on the spine crushed crimson morocco label marbled endpapers a fine clean copy. cgc. Howes R-361. Sabin 72032. Monaghan 1241. vide JCB II:2810 and Gephart II:14314. A rather ingenious and naive look at the country by one who was attached to Rochambeau's army as the chaplain during the American Revolution. This is a sentimental account of Rochambeau's aid to the Americans against the British enemy and his contribution in assuring victory. Monaghan offers credible proof that this writer and the scholar Claude C. Robin with whom this author is often confused are different people despite the cataloguing in Sabin and the BM.

These unique volumes containing manuscripts drawings cartoons and shadowbox combine elements of Rube Goldberg Joseph Cornell and dystopian “Steam Punk†were produced by a southern California gunsmith gun designer and arms enthusiast. His early manuscripts detail the armaments developed and invented by Hiram Maxim drawings of weighing scales in the Norco Hills CA under fire; 7.92 mm. German 43 machine gun; a series of machine guns and light machine guns he intended to be produced by a “Bwana Arms;†a series of proposed designed weapons for NATO including a Cal. 30 Zona 95-K machine gun with 900 rounds per minute rate of fire a Belcher BURP 9 mm machine gun a fanciful “Troop Lawn Mower Swath Cutter Zip 18-K 8000 rounds per minute and even a design for the Vampire Mk.IV light armored tank. His efforts also include multi-barreled crossbows pig guns and a 7 barrel muzzle loader first test fired by Ramsay at the Lake Mathews Area in August 1965. He also includes designs for a curious six-shot revolving cannon for black powder test-fired in March 1965; a design for a personal auto-gyro strapped to the back of the soldier; and an extensive illustrated manuscript of the Arabian .41 caliber revolving battery gun; as well as detailed notes and blueprints of what he termed an “Egyptian Revolving Battery Gun 10mm. Model 65-71;†as well as the “Hamm’s Beer Keg Can Rocket†fired in 1974. Ramsay has also included his correspondence with the National Rifle Association concerning which of his weapons could be classified as “machine guns†and that crank-operated gear-driven cam action weapons are classified as machine guns according to the California Penal Code. Some of these were just designs and renderings but others he appears to have actually constructed and test fired such as the .53 caliber Recoilless Pocket Artillery gun mounted in the trunk of a 1970 Mercury Cougar as reproduced in his shadowbox and numbered 1 of 1. Ramsay 1939-2016 was the adopted son of a Los Angeles steel worker a California native gunsmith and gun enthusiast attended Corona High School served in the US Army in German from 1960-1962 and appears to have experimented as cartoonist and gunsmith.

199425305ESan Francisco CA: Privately Published by Robin Williams 1994. First Edition. Original privately printed 123 page shooting script for the Robin Williams film Jumanji written by Jonathan Hensleigh Greg Taylor and Jim Strain based on the children’s picture book by Chris Van Allsburg. Signed and inscribed by Robin Williams to James Hedegus the art director for the film at the black & white frontispiece still photograph of Robin Williams in character alongside his young co-stars Kirsten and Bradley Pierce. Inscribed: “To James Thank you Robin Williamsâ€. Beautifully bound in olive green cloth and quarter olive green leather with bright gilt-stamping 6 /38 inches by 9 1/8 inches. Fine. Unbeknownst to the many admirers of Robin Williams was that he was a lover of books. Over the years Williams had his own private press specially printing on fine papers and handsomely binding editions of the screenplays of some of the films he appeared in. They were all printed in very small quantities. Williams would sign them and then they would be sent to members of the cast and crew of the productions. As a unique item this is a special opportunity to honor and celebrate Williams’s love of his craft his love of books and his appreciation of the people who helped to bring his films to life. Jumanji was directed by Joe Johnston starring Robin Williams Kirsten Dunst Bonnie Hunt Bradley Pierce Bebe Neuwirth Adam Hann-Byrd David Alan Grier and Patricia Clarkson. Jumanji tells the story of how a board game falls into the hands of a curious teen Hann-Byrd in 1969 and strands him in the lush savage forests of a mythical realm. Nearly three decades later the game releases him as an adult Williams before the eyes of a pair of young orphaned siblings Dunst and Pierce at which point the game takes another dangerous turn.
