Arguments Of Celsus Porphyry And Emperor Julian Against The Christians -

5 pp. Folio (355 x 280 mm.). Notated in pencil with additional markings in coloured ink. Signed and dated 2007. Tsontakis studied with Hugo Weisgall, Felix Greissle, and Roger Sessions. His honours include the Charles Ives Living Award, the Grawemeyer, two Kennedy Center Friedheim Awards (1989, 1992), a lifetime achievement award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1995), a Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship, (1996) and numerous commissions. "[His] early works are written in a dissonant chromatic idiom not unlike that of Sessions. His musical language soon shifted, however, towards a classically-influenced style characterized by large-scale harmonic prolongations and what he calls 'the timeless gesture', a reference to the past through evocation rather than quotation. With the String Quartet no. 3 'Carragio' (1986) he arrived at an idiosyncratic tonal language propelled by a non-minimalist, Beethovenian use of repetition. Another primary feature of his work, particularly notable in the… Read More

Dawes Oct 20th 1935Note: Sherman was a U.S. Senator from Illinois from 1913-1921. Senator Sherman was one of the more colorful characters in the Senate. As one of the group of senators known as the "irreconcilables" or the "bitter-enders", Sherman opposed the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles and of U.S. involvement in the League of Nations, and according to Historian Aaron Chandler, played a key role in its defeat. He characterized the treaty as "humanitarian in purpose, but impracticable in operation", and believed the league would be weak.Laid in is original card stock invitation for the 50th Wedding Anniversary of the Dawes in Evanston in 1939.

This listing is for a large and breathtaking Apollo 9 Full-Crew signed (Scott, McDivitt, Schweickart) 16x20 photo professionally authenticated by JSA. It would be hard to exaggerate how scarce this is. Apollo 9 was the first mission to qualify a Lunar Module (LM) for flight and docking, thus paving the way for an eventual Apollo 11 moon landing mission. This photo was taken from a docked LM and shows Dave Scott performing a stand-up EVA from the hatch of the Command Module. The three signatures are strikingly large and bold and beautifully written; and, critically, have been authenticated by one of the best in the business, James Spence Authenticators (JSA). Their full Letter of Authenticity accompanies the photo; the accompanying COA sticker was placed on the letter, not the photo. The photo is printed on Kodak professional paper and the borders are bright white (but hard to photograph). Condition is very good; some wear is visible in places along the edges, and the corners have mild blemishes but… Read More

Harper & Row, 1986. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8x5x1. Signed. SIGNED LIMITED EDITION #453 of only 500 made. Signed by Yoko and includes slipcase and separate art print by John Lennon. This copy is as new, unread, and gift-worthy. Expedited and international shipping are welcome. Signed by author.

SIGNED BY RINGO STARR WITH HIS FULL NAME and professionally authenticated by PSA/DNA. Comes with their full Letter of Authenticity. NOT personalized to anyone. This is a 128-page booklet-style softcover in very good condition, published by Wild & Wooley (Australia) in 1982 and thus a true 1st edition. Please carefully examine my photos: the cover remains strikingly appealing although close examination reveals several creases notably along the right side. The interior is clean and bright and still looks pretty much unblemished. Overall, in my opinion, remarkable condition for a 41 year old softcover. Ringo signed on page 8 just above a photo of the band; please note how extremely difficult it is to find a Ringo autograph WITH HIS FULL NAME (ie. "Starr" is fully spelled out). Even scarcer to find his autograph guaranteed authentic by the most respected independent authenticator in the world. Expedited and international shipping are welcome.

Viking, 2010. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 11x9x1. Signed. LIMITED EDITION #41 SIGNED BY BARBRA STREISAND and complete with original packaging. One of only 500 copies in existence. Brand new and pristine. What truly sets this book apart is the autograph: Barbra rarely signs anything so uncovering an authentic Streisand signature is very difficult; over 95% of the listings on are forgeries. And when she does sign, it's almost always with her first name only. These limited editions offer not only a full-name autograph but indisputable authenticity. Expedited shipping is welcome; international please request a shipping quote prior to purchase due to weight. Signed by author.
