004228Paris. Faux Lacquer. Very Good Minus. Handsome folder promoting opium as a pharmaceutical! N.d. circa 1900 to 1910. 30 by 23 cm. Tabularly-presented text is on the endpapers with four leaves of heavy blank yellow paper bound in by string. On the two page table of particular interest in our view is the drug called "Pantopon 'Roche'" whose composition is "Opium Total". Other drugs we note contain "barbiturate." The opium-connection might explain the Chinoiserie decoration of the binder. Of course the boards are also very decorative making this binder a prized promotional giveaway which we assume it would have been to the company's customers and other contacts. The Basel-based Hoffmann La Roche was founded in 1896 and soon had offices in Paris. It remains to this day a pharmaceutical giant. Minor surface loss to the black faux lacquer surface along the edges. Ink and pencil marks abounding on the yellow blanks suggesting these were used as blotter paper. Minor loss and looseness to the endpaper at the spine. <br/><br/> unknown books

198722364EGarden City: Doubleday 1987. First Edition First Printing. Signed and inscribed by the author Phyllis Gates to her mother who is referenced in the first chapter ‘My Life Before Rock’. Inscribed: “To Mom Thanks for all your support! I love you Phyllis 4/24/87â€. Illustrated. Near fine copy with some minor handling in a very good dust jacket with some small chips and tears. Gates tells the story of her marriage to actor Rock Hudson whom she met in 1954 and married in November 1955 shortly after Hudson finished filming Giant. They separated a few years later in 1957 with their divorce being finalized in 1958. Rumors of Hudson’s publicly hidden homosexuality as well as the reports of Gates being a closeted lesbian circulated in the media primarily in journalist Robert Hoffer’s biography ‘The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson’ and in the gay and lesbian news magazine The Advocate. Gates 1925 - 2006 steadfastly and publicly maintained that her love of Hudson was real and denied that she was a lesbian. Rock Hudson 1925 - 1985 was the first major public figure to announce that he had AIDS. He is best remembered for his films Giant 1956 Pillow Talk 1959 Come September 1961 and on television including starring in McMillan & Wife with Susan Saint James and on Dynasty as the character Daniel Reece.
