Description:
Lafayette: the editor, 1978. xxvi, 285p., illustrated with period photos and documents and two modern line maps; first edition cloth boards in dj, copy as new. "The collated writings of a nineteenth century Butte County girl..[who] lived several places in California, especially in the gold mining area, and married a miner.. As a popular lecturer and writer on Temperance and Women's Sufferage, she traveled widely throughout northern California for several years. Her diary and writings reflect ..the conditions in the 1860's to the 1920's.." Although dues-paying temperance advocate she was not a prohibitionist: "I know that Prohibition does not prohibit.." Reed in fact campaigned against prohibition, against the consumption of coffee ("the cursed Mohammedan Drink") and against tea ("from another pagan nation") and was an advocate of the temperate use of wine ("approved by Christ himself") and beer. She was a speaker for peace (and presumably pacifism) at the PPIE.

Description:
Roma: Stabilimento Tipografico "Aternum" di Enrico Sabucchi, 1915. Paperback. 54p., illustrated with plentiful b&w photographs, plat & line maps and diagrammatic floorplans and elevations; softbound a folio-sized paperback in 13.5x9.5 textured gray wraps. A very useful book in very bad shape: the photos of the ongoing construction of the imitation renaissance architecture demonstrates how well-built this and doubtless other venues were made, and how large an extent: numerous buildings and spacious courtyards. Boggling that is was meant to last only nine months. Also find plenty of facades and interiors of finished fakes; we are spared most of the usual plethora of art and sculpture. Drawbacks: it is missing two of the tipped-on color plates; the one that remains (an impressionist view of "Il Cortiletto" under tissue guard) suggests these showed usual art renderings. Missing are the cover plate (no caption) and, in the back under empty guard, "La Piatzetta". Further drawback, the wraps are separating… Read More

Description:
Paris: L'Illustration, 1931. Paperback. Unpaginated, perhaps because "hors serie" and not to be confused with a regular issue. Profuse illustrations with plenty of color, also sepia and b&w. Scattered essays are boilerplate, of course. Format is that of the magazine proper: 15x11 inches, cover has color plate affixed. Spine heavily chipped, front wrap detached or nearly so, staples exposed. Could be worse; the textblock is sound in itself, complete, and only mildly edgeworn. Held in Paris; find a couple small b&w aerial photographs of the site, and a full doublespread artist's aerial rendering in color.

Description:
Washington DC: GPO / U.S. Department of the Interior, 1926. Pamphlet. ii, 50p., illustrated in b&w photography fuzzily reproduced, generally a photo on every page starting from p.10. Softbound, 9x6 inch pamphlet staple-fastened. A GPO item with both covers printed in colors, rather unusual, perhaps a boost for this little-known Exposition. Item has suffered damp-damage, to covers, not to text pages, staining not particularly severe however obvious. The staples, exposed where these protrude at the centerfold map, are slightly rusted with negligible migration. In sum, a fair to "good-only" copy. Captions demonstrate that the sole concern here is for western states, Montana to California, southwestern from New Mexico.

Description:
San Francisco: promotional office, 1940. Postcard. Very good exemplars enclosed in a small plastic presentation folder provided with twenty clear pockets of 6x4 inches, each to contain two back-to-back cards, of which three contain one card only and another none at all, the rest filled to capacity. There are 13 b&w cards, the rest (22) are in color or colorized. Good ones! especially the fancy color items. Spot-checking suggests that this was an active collection, not a group purchased en masse, as the terminal card is marked discreetly "$1.00" in pencil. Most unused, though a couple have greetings/portage/postmarks to verso.

Description:
Florence Italy: Leo S. Olschki - Publisher, 1964. Hardcover. Unpaginated, perhaps thirty folio leaves printed both sides in b&w, sepia and in color-tints, ranging from fullpage plates to 3 or 4 vignettes per page, hardbound in 11x13.5 inch oblong decorated boards. Corner-tips and head & tail rims slightly blunted, covers have picked up mild dirt and scratches, but most seriously the binding threads are loose and there are several gaps in textblock gutters that reveal this problem. So far no losses. The copy is clean and unmarked within. Guarnieri roamed the site while it was girders and mud, and, FYI, some of the paintings inside are much more satisfactory than the one chosen to illustrate cover.

[no city, NZ]: [published either by a NZ bureau or by US travel agentry], 1915. Pamphlet. Single leaf of reasonably alkaline coated paperstock, printed and folded to make a 9x4 inch upright handout with b&w photography, a line map, and a naively enthusiastic promotional text. Faintest toning, mild edgewear, a very good copy. Dated from this, that the NZ commissioner at the NZ Pavillion, PPIE, will be pleased to see you at his office and supply full information.. our text-writer was somewhat obsessed with Calif: "Strikingly suggestive of the Golden State it is, in its catalogue of natural marvels" [list of marvels follows] "..and yet--It is so Unlike--Oh! Very Unlike! It is, indeed, in so many respects superlative to California..

Description:
San Francisco: California Book Company, 1915. Hardcover. ix, 151p., b&w photographic plates and a small map of the grounds, 6.5x4.5 inch salmonpink cloth boards with mild external hand-soil and edgewear, slight browning within and a narrow gutter-gap at front hinge, a good (good-only) copy: generally sound, clean and unmarked. The "symbolism" the author explains has a lot to do with being high-minded about statues such as "The Rising Sun" (a very naked guy with wings) and "Descending Night" and "Earth" (naked women). Concerning the riser, James observes that "This fresh strong young sun is just about to start on his journey... the wind blowing thru his hair, the vigor of young life pulsating thru his body, he will start the chest forward and move those outstretched wings. WALK TOWARDS HIM [emphasis in the original] and you will see him begin his journey thru space" -- a nice interactive touch. Also find on p.9 a discussion of the architectural building-blocks of exhibit sites, namely "artificial… Read More

Springfield MA: Springfield Homestead Newspaper Company, Publishers, 1915. Unpaginated, perhaps 32p., printed on various stocks: a heavy (50#?) textured sort, a slick yellowish, and a tissue-guard-type; ads fore, aft and betwixt. 15.5x11 inch plainish printed wraps fastened with four staples as issued, staples begun to rust, spinefold terribly abraded and torn but not quite detached, many leaves bear short tears, a poor to fair copy with no evidence of losses. As is; the historical content appears confined to business boast, and the PPIE content to a half-page photo showing "The Massachusetts Building" with small figures and autos in foreground. Dard Hunter it aint, but perhaps it's something else.
