Description:
Seattle: Marquand Books, Inc, 2008. Hardcover. Unpaginated, 26 fullpage color collages numbered in the captions and listed in a terminal index along with an extremely detailed vita, and a few more plates & lists besides (solo & group exhibitions, awards, selected reviews). Inscribed and signed on the titlepage, dated year of publication. Oversize hardbound in 14x10 inch colorplate boards, a perfectly sound, flat, clean, unmarked copy. Dee Dee's most complex plates are worthy of Jess, an earlier-generation collagist. And as absorbing as a "Where's Waldo" drawing. Her less complex work is also excellent. "Utopia" in the artist's mind is living in conditions of radical equality of gender, ethnicity, left politics and so forth (see accompanying essays).

Description:
Paris: Ingenia, Constructions de Precision, 1950. Cardboard Covers. 4p., giant cardstock leaves (11.5x16.5 inches) printed recto-only in vivid colors (Roman interior decoration wasn't subtle), enclosed in a doubly-giant folder printed two-colors in French and Latin, francophone instructions for assembling a tiny cardboard villa (lotsa rooms) around gardens and pools. No perforations, you or your kid must be handy with scissors. Condition of plates is quite good, even very good if images are scissored and marginal scraps thrown away; condition of outer wrap however is poor to fair, with heavy dust-soil and foxing. Two corner-tips bear repellent mildew. As is, "with all faults", item retains some charm despite drawbacks.

London: George Philip & Son, Ltd, 1908. Hardcover. viii, 122p., maps as called for, modern line maps in colors, supplemented with numerous b&w vignettes and full-page images, reproduced well. Gargantuan hardbound, 15.5x12.5 inch blotter-papered boards over a titled linen backstrip, top edge gilded; rear cover is massive, built to make a pocket that accomodates four global sections: each is printed in several colors plus metallic silver, on extra-heavy paperstock, then folded into quarters measuring 15x12 inches. There is a key diagram (follows index) showing how the four huge mercator-style pieces fit together. We have gingerly peeked and see only one instance of damage, i.e. heavy toning to one-half of one exposed quarter; no tears, no partings, no soil nor any markings. Regarding the "book" format of our atlas, the linen backstrip is browned from handling, dust and age, and there is a little fray at the tail rim. Item has been protected all these years by a slipcase that continues to accomodate but…
