Description:
Alameda Ca: SELf-published by the editor, 1935. Newspaper. 8p., unfastened newsprint folio leaves printed and folded tabloid-style, very acidic and fragile with advanced chipping, splitting along foldlines. Illustrated with vignette photoportraits of "clean" candidates for police, fire and administrator positions. Charter League campaign literature, aimed at PG&E, draws on TVA statistics to challenge PG&E's fiscal "power octopus" --so characterized in these texts, invoking the Frank Norris novel about rail monopoly in California.

Tubingen: Verlag Ernst Wasmuth, 1955. Hardcover. XII, 439p., profulely illustrated with expert sketches both descriptive and explanatory, plus artist's reconstructions (how such & such gate may have looked, &c). Hardbound in openweave blue cloth boards gilt and enclosed in the dust jacket. Nice condition: the book itself has a short bump to tail-rim, the only detraction from crisp squareness, top edge mildly dust-soiled, gilt remains bright, within find a neat small ownership signature. The dj wasn't so lucky; although complete it is very edgeworn with puncturing scratches. All in all a very good copy. Text exclusively in the German language.

Description:
Copenhagen: Nationalmuset / National Museum of Denmark, 1966. Paperback. 266p., illustrated in b&w from period and contemporary photography and images, a few folded plates, handsomely softbound in medium-blue heavy paperstock, text largely in English with occasional cosmopolitan resort to other European languages. Textblock printed with unopened signatures which remain (mostly) joined, the opened leaves done neatly. Overlapping margins of cover stock have suffered mild crimping, a couple tiny tears, and exposure to light sunning. A very good copy. A late 19thC supervisor decreed that whole houses (and cow-barns!) be dismantled on site and moved to the museum itself for museum visitors.
