New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company. Good. 1927. 4th printing. Hardcover. NOISBN .

Novel about "a marriage between a wealthy Californian and an English girl based on mutual love but nevertheless threatened by the girl's continuing difficulties of adjusting to a life of exhile in California." (Baird & Greenwood 2465). The book was praised by the New York Times reviewer for its "honesty, intelligence, and power of understanding." The author was English-born, but had lived in California (where he'd been involved in land speculation) during the 1880s and 1890s, and drew on that experience for a number of novels (he wrote over fifty, as well as numerous… Read More

(price-clipped) [light shelfwear, mild bumping to top corners, one-time owner's signature and date at top of ffep; jacket a little worn along top and bottom edges, one tiny chip at bottom of front panel]. The author, "a father of twenty years experience" offers his "genial but rueful report on a job which he says is a 'combination of adventure, blindman's buff, guerrilla warfare and crossword puzzle.' ... He traces the ordeals and mystifications of a father from that first small cry in the maternity ward down through the myriad knotty problems of table manners, religion, swing music, sex, morality and, in a peculiarly poignant chapter, the expensive vagaries of 'modernistic progressive education.'" A perfect Father's Day gift -- for your son. .

Description:
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. Very Good+. 1938. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, slight bumping to upper corners, spine cloth slightly faded, vintage bookseller rubber-stamp on front pastedown (Bertrand Smith Acres of Books, Long Beach, Calif.)]. Mid-career novel by this longtime editor at The Nation, the wife of poet/critic Mark Van Doren and the mother of notorious game-show cheater Charles Van Doren. It's a depiction of the subjective worldview of a young girl from ages 6 to 14, which a contemporary reviewer thought "deceptively simple [but with] a good deal more strength than the reader realizes at first." Being as how the author was born in 1896 and the novel's narrative spans the years from 1897 to 1910, it seems a pretty safe bet that she was retroactively channeling her own childhood, more or less. This was the fourth of Mrs. Van Doren's five published novels (her NYT obituary gets the total wrong); she also wrote several… Read More

New York: Dramatists Play Service. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1953). First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . (price-clipped) [no significant wear to book, slight age-toning to page edges, one-time owner's address label on ffep; jacket lightly spotted/soiled and a bit yellowed, small chip at top of spine, another small chip at bottom of front panel]. (B&W photo frontispiece) Van Druten's play about some pretty big themes -- things like religious faith, and what makes life worth living -- had a very short run (23 performances, if you must know) on Broadway in December 1956. The jacket photo, also reproduced as the book's frontispiece, depicts co-stars Edmond O'Brien and Viveca Lindfors, he playing an unsympathetic role as a brutish novelist, she as the woman whom he impregnates during their brief affair, then abandons. .

[very nice copy, with just a touch of wear to the bottom edge; jacket has some minor spotting on the front panel, short closed tears at front hinges, another tiny closed tear at bottom of front panel, light soiling to rear panel]. (color illustrations) "A true account of the strange things which sometimes happen in a part of the world which does not exist." An almost indescribable book, "written and drawn for the fun of it" by Van Loon, whose "The Story of Mankind" had been the Newbury Medal winner a few years earlier. A hat (sort of) travels through time and space and world culture, encountering just about everything you could imagine, and some things that you probably wouldn't, all accompanied by vivid, full-page color illustrations. Almost impossible to find in any sort of a jacket, especially in such nice condition. .

Toronto/New York/London: Bantam Books (R7678). Near Fine. 1973. First Edition. Softcover. [about as nice a copy as you could hope to find, tight and clean with just a tiny bit of age-toning to the edges of the text block]. Mass Market PB (B&W photographs) Van Peebles's "most explosive, award-winning play . . . in a totally unique fiction form: a novel with lyrics, a gutsy, lusty narrative of black street life that explores every aspect of ghetto agony. Peopled by junkies, whores, pimps, sweating workers and crooked cops, prisoners, lovelorn lesbians, drag queens and dreamers." The stage musical, structured as "a series of 19 politically outspoken, darkly comic, and sexually charged musical monologues" (Wikipedia), was derived from songs on several albums that Van Peebles had recorded between 1968 and 1970. First produced at Sacramento State College in 1970, it opened off-Broadway in October 1971 and later transferred to the Ambassador Theatre, a Broadway… Read More

"A Naughty & Notorious Story of the Roaring Twenties," somewhat of a novelized version of the romantic exploits of Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt. A resonably uncommon book that might be of little note except for the fact that its author was himself a member of one of New York's elite families, which (per the jacket blurb) gave him "firsthand access to the history which he used in writing this book." (In fact, it might be of little note anyway.) The author subsquently wrote a book about another American socialite/heiress, Barbara Hutton (who he hung around with for a time in the 1950s), and a memoir… Read More

"This is the story of Violet Amory, a New York society beauty of the twenties and thirties, who sought a carefree life in the playgrounds and pleasure resorts of the idle rich, but found the price more than she could pay. With her young son Peter, her devoted hangers-on, her kennel of little dogs, her Cartier jewels and Vuitton trunks, she drifted to Venice, Paris, the Riviera, New York, and Newport, leaving a trail of beautiful young men behind her." The story is narrated by the son, who "describes with elegance, charm, and a deftly unobtrusive irony the ultra-fashionable world" through which his mother gayly wafts. .

Mystery novel with a resurrectionist angle, involving a racketeer who's died in prison -- well, actually, he's basically volunteered to be executed by carbon monoxide gas, as part of his agreement to be the subject of an experimental technique designed to bring victims of such poisoning back to life -- the condition for his cooperation being that if it works, he'll be pardoned and set free. But just at the critical moment, the Governor of the State accidentally dies of carbon monoxide poisoning(!), and is brought into the operating chamber and placed on the next table.

(frontispiece portrait) This brief autobiographical essay, one of dozens of writings generated by Vanzetti during his many years in prison prior to his execution in 1927, is considered to be "one of the most moving and humane writings of anarchism" ever published. 24 pages in length (plus covers), this version of the booklet was issued in August 1924, about ten months after several motions for a new trial for Sacco and Vanzetti had "been filed and were argued" (in October 1923) but had not yet been ruled on.

This striking and richly illustrated volume is the first encompassing history of that century-long dialogue between 'high' and 'low.' In it, [the authors] trace the key exchanges through which artists have expanded the languages of art by taking up styles and forms found outside the usual precincts of the museum; they show how those exchanges have constantly redefined for us the relationship between the private imagination and the shared energies of public… Read More
