Tempe, Arizona:: Cabbagehead Press,, 2002.. Edition of 24. 15.75" x 14", irregular, single sheet. Woodcut, linoleum cut, polymer relief, and handset letterpress on handmade paper. John Risseeuw: "This print features a map of Cambodia and some of the numerous facts about the mines and victims that I collected. The OK! is in reference to the fact that Cambodia is about the same size as Oklahoma. What would we do if 60 Oklahomans a month were encountering landmine accidents?

Minneapolis, MN: Shadow Press, 1983. First of this edition. Very Good. In 1983, at the coaxing of the literary elder, Meridel LeSueur, Shadow Press, USA published Timothy Youngâ_x0080__x0099_s Men Don't Dance in America, one of the early anthems of the then-budding men's movement. Quarter-fold landmark broadside. Limited to 250 copies. Very good+ no marks or faults.

Etched playing board with rules of the game in lower margin of the sheet and publisher's number 221. Sheet-size 407 x 335 mm. Very rare and beautifully illustrated etched sheet for dice game; the centre field of the playing board depicts an outdoor scene with a dressage show of monkeys in various costumes with spectators behind wooden bars, in the corners more or less anthropomorphic images of four species of monkeys. 14 of the 30 fields showing monkeys in various costumes doing acrobatic stunts, and if you enter one of these fields you have to according to the rules restart from the beginning or pay a penalty. - Georg Nikolaus Renner (1803-1854) was an art dealer and publisher in Nuremberg since 1826. From 1837 Friedrich Schuster became his partner, from then on the company was called "Renner & Co" – therefore the present game must have been published before. An almost perfect copy of a finely illustrated example of a monkey theatre dice game, a subject which became very popular in the 19th century.

It finishes with "The New York Day Book, one of two papers in New York City that support James Buchanan, proposes to enslave poor AMERICANS, GERMANS and IRISH, who may fall into poverty and be unable to support their families. Here are the Day Book's exact words in speaking of the POOR WHITE PEOPLE: "Sell the parents of these children into SLAVERY.
