Soiling on front wrap, note to a prominent African-American editor from an unidentified person on front wrap: “PWP - Did I send you this already? DJ.” Very good or better.

The Musgrave Report

Artists’ Book9 (Art). Space 1026: Print Book Collaborative Book Two. Philadelphia:

Space 1026 Gallery & Studios (2003). Screw bound into spray painted flexible mylar front wrap and printed plastic over card rear board. Slight rubbing, just about fine. An attractive and interesting Fluxus-type artists’ book that contains approximately 60 pages of screenprinted, sewn, and photocopied pages with some laid in material by Philadelphia-area artists. Reportedly each front cover was uniquely spray painted and the book was hand-bound. Penciled limitation “24/500” but we’d be surprised if there

were that many produced. OCLC locates a single copy, at Haverford College. [BTC#385994]

10 (Art). (Eric GILL). [Broadsides]: Pray for Me Eric Gill. [Tuscaloosa, Alabama]:

Windostar, Wiregrass and Gorgas Oak Presses 1980. Two broadsides. Near fine with light wear at the edges.

Contributors include Akira Uno, Kazumasa Nagai, Shigeo Fukuda, Gan Hosoya, Kiyoshi Awazu, Mitsuo Katsui, Ikko Tanaka, Makoto Wada, Yoshitaro Isaka, Toshihiro Katayama, Tsunehisa Kimura, and Tadanori Yokoo. Scarce. OCLC locates five copies. [BTC#387441]

12 (Art). (Allan KAPROW). [Program]: June 11: Happenings at the Reuben. [New York: Reuben Gallery 1960] Single mimeographed typescript sheet. Quarto. Near fine with light wear along the foredge with a few tiny tears. A program for an early Happening performance held at the Reuben Gallery in New York by Allan Kaprow, who coined the phrase to describe the emerging performance art that incorporated various forms of artistic expression such as text, dialogue, sounds, colors, music, and audience participation. The pieces at this show featured: “Gossoon, a chamber event movement,” arranged by George Brecht with performances by James Waring, John Baker, and Jerry King; “E.G.” by Robert Whitman, starring Jim Dine, Rosalyn Drexler, Pat Oldenburg, and Lucas Samaras; “Intermission Piece” by Kaprow; “Electronic Music” by Richard Maxfield (who co-curated the Fluxus concerts at Yoko Ono’s loft with LaMonte Young); and “Vaudeville Collage” written and performed by Dine. An important piece of ephemera from the then-emerging New York performance art scene of the early 1960s. OCLC locates no copies of this 1960 performance but one from 1959. [BTC#384904]

13 (Art). Rex SMITH (Tom Lea). [Broadside]: Mural by Tom Lea in the Southwest Room of the El Paso Public Library. El Paso, Texas: Carl Hertzog 1956. First edition, variant (possibly proof ) issue. Illustrated broadside on untextured paper. Measuring 12¼" x 9¼". Slight age-toning, else fine. Illustration of the mural with commentary by New York art critic Rex Smith. On the verso is Hertzog’s note about the broadside: “I wanted to put his words in print for others to enjoy.” A variant, we have also seen one that is slightly smaller on textured paper. Scarce. OCLC locates no copies. [BTC#387351]

16 (Aviation). Jacob W.S. WUEST, Colonel, Air Corps. The Requirements, Classification, Training and Duties of Air Force Personnel. Nashville, Tennessee: Nashville Army Air Center (AAFCC) [no date - circa 1944]. First edition. Octavo. 18pp. Stapled printed wrappers. Slight oxidation to staples and light age-toning, near fine. Signed by Wuest on the second page, following his opening address. Comprehensive overview of Air Force training for Aviation Cadets. The Ohio-born Colonel Jacob Wuest served as Commander of the Air Corps Tactical School from 1929-30, and as an American military attaché in Germany from 1932-1935. He was very alarmed by German rearmament, a concern which U.S. Ambassador Dodd dismissed as “hysterical.” He later became the first commanding officer of Dale Mabry field from 1940-1942. Presumably this pamphlet postdates that command. OCLC locates a single copy (Wisconsin Veterans Museum Library). [BTC#386180]

15 (Aviation). [Cover title]: Modern Searchlights. [Interior title]:

Anti-Aircraft Searchlight Equipment. Croydon: The London Electric Firm [1920]. Oblong quarto. Measuring 10" x 12". [38]pp. Cord tied printed flexible card wrappers. Light stains on the wrappers, one leaf has pulled loose, else near fine. Trade catalog for nautical, ground, and aviation searchlights. On the rectos of each leaf is a large photograph in color of a searchlight (on a few pages two photographs appear; one photo is uncolored) with a printed description of the searchlight on the facing page. Colorful and engaging. Rare. OCLC locates a single copy at

the Henry Ford Museum, that is almost certainly the same or similar to this with 19 pages (we assume they mean leaves) and attributes the date of 1920. Although this copy is undated that seems a reasonable guess. [BTC#386546]

14 (Art). Jack B. YEATS. Jack B. Yeats. Loan Exhibition. Town Hall, Sligo. August 14th to 27th, 1961. Sligo: Sligo Art Society 1961. Introduction by James White. Stapled printed wrappers. 19pp. Illustrated. Very light edgewear, near fine. Exhibition mounted four years

17 J.M. BARRIE (James Russell LOWELL). [Handbill]: The following has been sent by Mr. Barrie whose presence had been hoped for. [New York: American Academy of Arts and Letters] 1919. Small printed handbill. Measuring 5" x 7½". Slight age-toning at the extremities, very near fine. Handbill that takes the form of a letter to Mr. Murray Butler (presumably the President of Columbia University) about his regret in not being available to speak on the following day at the dinner to be given by the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York to honor the 100th anniversary of the birth of James Russell Lowell, but noting that if he were, “if the first and only speech of my life was on the passionate desire of my heart - a closer friendship between America and Britain.” He goes on to point out certain of his plays that dealt with the subject of Anglo-American friendship and relations, and discusses the plot of his own allegorical play Dear Brutus. Very scarce. OCLC locates two copies, at Williams College and Princeton. [BTC#385945]

18 Ida BENNET. [Small broadside]: Simon Short’s Son Samuel. Philadelphia: Printed by Charles H. Sloan & Co. Steam-Power Railroad, Steamship, Mercantile and Label Printer

[no date]. Small broadside. Measuring 6½" x 9½". Old folds, small tears and nicks, a sound good or better copy. A curiosity, a story with every word beginning with the letter “s.” Undated and we can find nothing convincing about the printer, perhaps circa 1880? The broadside claims this was written by a Concord High School (of Philadelphia) girl; it apparently appears in many newspapers from 1874, and appears in books on elocution in the 1880s. OCLC locates nothing with this title. [BTC#385646]

19 Era BETZNER and Marguerite BLOCK. Three Pantomimes. New York: The Womans Press (1928).

Second edition. 12mo. Decorated green wrappers. Owner’s name, and a small chip on front wrap, very good. Three short plays. Neither NUC or OCLC locates copies of this edition. [BTC#381035]

20 Robert J. BURDETTE. The Rise and Fall of the Mustache and Other “Hawk-Eyetems.” San Francisco: A. Roman and Company 1877. First edition, San Francisco issue. Illustrated by R.W. Wallis. 328pp. Decorated brown cloth stamped in black and gilt. Penciled ownership signature dated in 1877 (see below for possible significance), slight tears in the cloth at the spine ends, and a little light rubbing, else a nice, tight, near fine copy. Author’s first book. BAL 1954 notes this San Francisco variant, but specifies the date of 1878 on the title page, Wright III 790 conforms to BAL. OCLC seems to locate no copies with this 1877 San Francisco imprint. [BTC#382043]

21 (Boxing). [Broadside]: Southern Welterweight Title Bout. Last fight - 10 Rounds - of 1935 season. Stiffie Williams, Carterville, Ga. 146 lbs. Southern Welter Champion [vs.] Gene “Portion” Clark, Fayetteville, Tenn. 144 lbs. The Challenger. Fayetteville, Tenn.: Bill &

Berry’s Backyard Arena 1935. Four copies of this broadside, each identical except printed on different colors of paper stock (beige, pink, salmon, pale green). Each is 9" x 12". Age-toning and tiny nicks or tears; the beige example has a fairly large dampstain, the others are near fine. Apparently a bout of some consequence, the broadside states: “It is of especial interest that the PRIZED TITLE BELT held by Stiffie Williams will be at STAKE during the fight. The belt now on display downtown in the PLEASE-U BARBER SHOP window will go to the WINNER!!” Of some additional interest is the undercard: “The promoters are making this entire program an all star affair. They are bringing one of the most famous Southern Negro Middleweight Boxers, THE DREADED KID SHORTY STARR of Rome, Ga. to meet Fayetteville’s own great Negro Middleweight TIGER HARRIS.” We do not know who won this fistic fiesta, but do know that Gene “Portion” Clark was murdered - shot between the eyes - in Huntsville in 1940. OCLC locates no copies; this is your chance to get four. [BTC#386185]

22 (Business). Prospectus of The Midland Savings and Loan Company of Denver, Colorado. [No place: no publisher circa 1890]. First edition. 24mo. 22pp. Stapled white wrappers decorated with blue and red. Near fine with pages age-toned.

[BTC#386609]

23 (California). Hazel M. SPELL. The Twentynine Palms Story. (Twentynine Palms, California: Festival of the Booths, The Little Church of the Desert 1954).

Revised edition. 40pp. Original beige wrappers decorated with green, stapled. Ex-library markings on front wrapper only with the topedge on front wrapper clipped and the title written in ink, else very good. OCLC locates only three copies of this edition. [BTC#386600]

24 (Business). The Chameleon. Volume Ten. Cleveland: The Department of Publicity Sherwin-Williams Co. 1907. First edition. Tall octavo. Green cloth gilt. Fold-out plate. A little dampstaining on last few leaves, else near fine. The paint company’s monthly newsletter for the year 1907, 11 issues (including a November-December double issue) bound together with all wrappers. The covers are very attractively illustrated, some in Arts and Crafts style with the company’s “Little Paint Man,” others with

idealized male painters in the style of James Montgomery Flagg. The

Chameleon was the company’s logo until 1905 when its paint covered “We Cover the World” logo was adopted. Scarce. OCLC locates two runs of the periodical, at the New York Public Library and the Western Reserve Historical Society. [BTC#385411]

25 Charles Edward CARRYL. Robinson Crusoe. New York: The Ogham Press 1955. First separate edition. 24mo. [8]pp. Printed yellow wrappers. Modest stains on the wrappers, very good. Card laid in presenting the book as a Christmas-New Year’s greeting from Willis and Elizabeth Tompkins. Issued in the series, “Ogham Library of the Younger Plagiarists.” Apparently submitted for publication by a ten year old and later discovered to be by an American novelist. OCLC lists five copies. [BTC#386102]

26 (Children). Ancient Games. [No place]: Laureate Enterprises 1968. First edition. Oblong octavo. [12]pp. Self-wrappers.

Octavo. 52pp. Neatly removed from a bound volume, light foxing, with three original stab-holes at the left margin, very good.

[BTC#387190]

33 (Children). John MARTIN (pseudonym of Morgan SHEPARD). John Martin’s Letters to You - No. 9 and 10. New York: John Martin’s House 1910 and 1911.

Two early Boy Scout–related letters from the Letters from John Martin series of subscription correspondence for boys. Octavos. Each 8pp. Stapled self-wrappers. Fine. Morgan Shepard, a contributor to St. Nicholas, began producing letters of illustrated tales for children in 1908 that he would personalize to each subscriber. Each letter was hand-personalized to subscribers and describes some fantastic journey or adventure involving explorers, hunters, knights, or animals, typically illustrated throughout. These issues, letters number nine (1910) and 10 (1911), are particularly notable because each is dedicated to the then nascent Boy Scouts of America with several drawings of Scouts in uniforms, their emblem, and the Boy Scout sign, as well as the Boy Scout Oath, ways to tie various types of knots, identify animal tracks, and with a facsimile copy of the letter sent to John Martin by Ernest Seton, the first Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts, in the founding year of the organization. OCLC locates no copies of this subscribers’ letter series. [BTC#386641]

Frankfort Commonwealth Office 1853. First edition. 23pp. Stitched wrappers bound with string. Lacking the original wrappers, owner’s initials on last page, stamp on title page, some chipping and soiling along the extremities, thus good only. Scarce. OCLC locates one copy. [BTC#388031]

40 (Education). F.I. NIKANOV. [Broadside]: Russian Alphabet Guide. New York: [Simon & Schuster] 1943. First edition. [2]pp. Broadside with charts on both sides. Very good with chips and tears, light soiling. Unique for that time as no one has ever devised a scheme for teaching the Russian alphabet to English speaking people in this manner. The chart divides the Russian letters into three groups. Group 1: Those letters which look like Latin letters and are pronounced in a similar way; Group 2: Those letters which look like Latin letters but which are pronounced differently; and Group 3: Letters which do not look like Latin letters and are mostly of Greek origin. Each group is then learned by the use of cognates in the Russian language which sound and mean the same in both English and Russian. On the reverse side of the chart entitled, Russian Language Chart, there are vowels, nouns, numerals, conjugations, etc. OCLC locates two copies. [BTC#378649]

First novel, a risqué mystery-romance about a beautiful and flirty female reporter, a handsome young bachelor, and a bunch of crooks. A vanity press production by a pseudonymous author.

Broadside. Approximately 8½" x 11¾". Old folds, small tears and nicks, contemporary small pencil name (“Lizzie”), very good.

Stapled illustrated wrappers. 8pp. Small crease at the bottom of the spine, and very faint vertical crease, near fine. Interesting promotional newspaper or journal for a resort in the Pine Barrens 30 minutes south of Lakewood, New Jersey that catered largely to military officers. News includes a mention that the novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward is staying there, repeats an anecdote of Oscar Wilde having his clothing stolen, tells a couple of racist stories, one about the porter at the Barnegat Park railroad junction, and features an original poem about the wonders of Barnegat Park, etc. In deference to the fact that many of the property owners and guests of the resort were military officers, the longest article is on field artillery! The resort was something of a failed real estate scheme, going bankrupt on a couple of occasions and is now part of Berkeley Township, N.J. Probably the only issue published. OCLC locates no copies.

A bombastic broadside about bribery and corruption at the polls by a medical doctor who was active in combating various types of fraud, both medical and political: “It is this vicious system that sends decrepit, corrupt and unfit men to the United States Senate.

Orleans]: J.L. Sollee 1847. First edition. Octavo. 147pp. Contemporary half grained black morocco and marbled paper covered boards. Text in French. Repeated contemporary owner’s name of W.A. Freret, some slight erosion on front pastedown, foxing in text and a short split at the bottom of the front joint, still a pleasing near very good copy of a very uncommon title, biographies of New Orleans local luminaries including John Slidell. The first of those featured is James Freret, the popular sheriff of the parish of Orleans. The ownership Signature is almost certainly that of William A. Freret, James Freret’s brother, a mechanic and architect who ran a cotton mill in New Orleans, and served as mayor there. Laid in is a printed biography (in English) of William that reveals that he and James were descended from an English merchant and a Creole mother. “Esquisses Locales is a very useful work for the student of the history and literature of Louisiana,” wrote Alcee Fortier in his article, “French Literature in Louisiana & the Negro French

Dialect,” published in the Modern Language Association of America Vol. 1, 1884-5. Rare. OCLC locates a single copy, at the American Antiquarian Society. [BTC#384119]

Third edition, originally published in 1871. 24mo. 36, [4]pp.; inserted ad. Printed glazed blue wrappers. Slight smudging and tiny tears on the edges of the wrappers else very good or better. Of interest is the inserted four page advertisement for Ocean Grove (a seaside Methodist camp meeting community founded in 1869) and Asbury Park (which Bradley himself founded in 1871) that includes a map of the central Jersey Shore that takes up two pages. Additionally the rear wrap advertises lots for sale in Asbury Park, offered for sale by Bradley. Bradley was an influential New York financier and developer who, aside from founding Asbury Park, was also instrumental in founding the neighboring town of Bradley Beach which bears his name. This temperance story apparently appeared in a newspaper in 1870, and then as a pamphlet the same year; OCLC locates only one copy of the 1871 edition but makes no mention of this edition.

The Club traversed 525 miles by bicycle, 550 miles on steamers, and 30 miles by rail. 13 “Tourists” are identified as having taken the trip including the “artist” Hubbell. On the verso is a printed list and captions for the 40 images. The images illustrate the trip: about a half dozen club members with their bicycles: in front of the State House in Boston, in front of a hotel in Brunswick, and a cycler with his damaged bike on a railway sidecar, the rest are of the steamers, a railroad engine, “a group of Indians taken by surprise in Wentworth,” but most are various images along the way in the Canadian countryside. Rare. Presumably very few of these were made beyond the immediate circle of 13 participants and their friends. OCLC locates two copies (in two separate entries). [BTC#387386]

Lawrence, Flint, Eliot, and the like, can no longer issue their abortions in the considerable certainty that criticism will approach them on respectful knees.” Wright’s own selections now seem monumentally forgettable: the only names recognizable by us are W.H.
