19401787No place: The Author 1940. Unbound. Very Good. A single leaf folded to make four pages with a photograph of the author dressed in a modified zoot suit on the cover. 4pp. Short tears to the margins some light creasing and wear a near very good copy. A somewhat bombastic description about slave names and the revolutionary changes to come. While the message of the piece is essentially correct in its facts it is somewhat obscured by the delivery. An example spelling is the author's: "With the straight he is making destruction blind. Be not deceived. For God will make that what-so-ever a man sews he shall reep." Fragile and presumably quite rare we have never seen another copy. OCLC locates no copies. The Author unknown
192418762ELondon: Constable & Co 1924. This was the personal copy of the great American humorist author and screenwriter S.J. Perelman and was presented to him by his friend Heywood Hale Broun. Inscribed by Broun: “Happy Birthday from H.H. and J. LL. J. Jane Lloyd-Jones Broun’s wife This work by a man who would have liked to have met you. Feb. 1960.†With a document providing provenance laid in. Thin split to the front hinge otherwise a very good copy with some slight use and edge wear without dust jacket. Broun met Perelman when he was a guest on his radio show “Author Author!†and the two became fast friends. Sidney Joseph Perelman popularly known as S. J. Perelman 1904 – 1979 was one of the most widely read literary icons of the Golden Age of American Humor. His New Yorker pieces fiction and collected essays are legendary for their biting wit and mastery of caricature and language. Off and on throughout his career he worked in film notably as a contributing screenwriter on such Hollywood comedy classics as Monkey Business and Horse Feathers with the Marx Brothers Mike Todd’s Around the World in 80 Days for which he won an Oscar co-creator of the hit Broadway musical comedy One Touch of Venus starring Mary Martin as well as many publishing including twenty-one books radio television and travel writing ventures. He was the brother-in-law of the writer Nathanael West with whom he shared a close relationship up until West’s death in a car accident in 1940 at age thirty-seven and whose memory and literary reputation he devoted himself to maintaining. His inner circle of literary and show-business friends and associates included F. Scott Fitzgerald the Marx Brothers Mike Todd Harold Ross T.S. Eliot Al Hirschfeld Bennett Cerf Lillian Hellman Dashiell Hammett Dorothy Parker Fred Allen Kaufman and Hart Ogden Nash Ernest Hemingway W. Somerset Maugham etc. S.J. Perelman was a gifted man with conflicting desires living and working in complex times. While his writing brought much laughter to the world his personal life reflected his restless spirit and inner struggles with his relationships to his family friends and intimates. Dorothy Herrmann ends her wonderful biography of Perelman with these insights: “…his genius was unique…highly literate and inventive yet cranky and irreverent…perhaps no other modern writer was willing to match his commitment to words…Whether this was a rare gift or a feverish obsession is unimportant in the last analysis. For he made us forget for a brief time our own pain and sorrows – and enter a wild wonderful realm of fantasy that was sublime.†Constable & Co unknown

1959222201959. African American Pulp Demetre Margaret. Unchained Desire. New York: Comet Press Books 1959. First edition. Original cloth binding in illustrated red and cream dust jacket featuring a stylized nude female figure. 188 pages. 8vo. A provocative novel published under Comet Press's "Milestone Book" imprint Unchained Desire typifies mid-century erotic fiction's fascination with forbidden and lurid love affairs. Margaret Demetre's novel revolves around themes of interracial tensions sexual longing and emotional confinement offering a dramatized portrayal of female desire at a time when women's agency was both a source of titillation and cultural anxiety. The story centers around a Cuban aristocrat's daughter who bears Black lineage and her love affair with a wealthy white man born of a prejudiced family. Demetre was born in Savannah Georgia to a Greek family. The vast Black population of Savannah as well as her family's immigrant past likely shaped the themes of forbidden love and racial tropes during the pre-civil rights era South. Binding sound and pages clean. Dust jacket shows moderate edge wear creasing and a few small closed tears; old penciled pricing to front cover. Overall very good condition. A scarce and visually arresting example of 1950s taboo fiction exploring women's sexuality and interracial relationships during a time of restrictive societal standards. unknown
