Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. Quarto (18 × 27 cm). Original photo-illustrated staple-stitched wrappers; 6 pp. Light overall wear and creasing; still about very good. The harsh realities of the lives of Kurdish women are emphasized in this promotional pamphlet for the Soviet silent drama "Zare" which premiered in Yerevan, in Soviet Armenia in 1926. The pamphlet includes the film synopsis, an essay by the director Hamo Beknazarian (1891-1965) about the making of the film, as well as a film review. The director, who also wrote the script for the picture, places special emphasis on the lives of Kurdish women, noting in the pamphlet that "they work more than their men", and are subjected to harsher social censure. The life of Zare, who is defamed by her community after refusing to marry a man she does not love is presented as an example. The Soviet silent film star Maria Tadevosian (1903-1930), who played the role of Zare appears on the cover of the pamphlet. Zare was only the third feature to be filmed at the new Armenfilm studios, and is exemplary of the early Soviet promotion of "internationalism" and "women's emancipation".
The poster for the film was designed by the famous avant-garde artist Vladimir Senberg, who also designed posters for Battleship Potemkin and The Man With the Movie Camera. Hamo Beknazarian's previous film, "Shor and Shorshor" (1926), an extremely popular comedy about the misadventures of two village fools, is advertised on the rear wrapper of the pamphlet. Publisher advertising to last page.
As of February 2021, KVK, OCLC show only one copy, at Yale.

Suncook, Pembroke, N.H., 1878. 12mo, original russet cloth, gilt title and decorative black stamping on front cover, lower cover with blind-stamped title and ornament. Frontis. portrait engraving, 63 pp., illus. On the morning of October 4, 1875, the beautiful 17-year-old Josie Langmaid did not show up for school. When Pembroke Academy staff notified her family, a search party was assembled. That night the party found her decapitated and violated body in the woods near the school and discovered her head the next morning. Following the initial arrest of innocent parties, the actual murderer was identified as French-Canadian woodcutter Joseph Lapage. Tried and found guilty, he admitted to his crime (as well as a similar murder in Vermont) on March 15th, 1878 and was hung the following day. The town of Pembroke placed a monument to the victim near the murder site, with directions to the sites where her body and head were discovered. Keeler's forty-page poetic eulogy is preceded by a brief account of…

Description:
North Hills: Bird & Bull Press, 1964. Octavo. 91pp. One of 200 copies. A biography on the life and work of Thomas Bird Mosher, the remarkable New England publisher and literary pirate. The Passionate Pirate is one of Henry Morris's earlier titles. In making it, he was plagued with both papermaking and printing problems, since he had recently acquired a new papermaking beater and a new printing press. The first bindings on the books were disastrous, and the entire edition had to be rebound. This copy is inscribed by Morris "For my good friend Remy Green" and dated 11/15/64. Remy John Barcham Green worked for, and later ran, J. Barcham Green Ltd., which operated the Hayle Mill in Kent, England. Morris was in frequent contact with Remy and his father Jack (John Barcham Green II) when he first began his papermaking journey in the 1950s. Morris says of his initial correspondence with Jack Green: "I really sent a barrage of questions and I must say that Mr. Green was extremely kind as he not only answered…

Description:
Londres: Guillaume Pickering, 1835. First edition. Hardcover. Very good. 2 volumes. 12mo. Illustrated with lithographs of the manuscripts, some with initials colored by hand in red and blue. Title page in Volume 1 in both English and French.. Publisher's original cloth in a small sand grain design. This is clearly Winterbottom's Type 'M' (Tomlinson). Krupp (p.30) notes this as San1, but without a Winterbottom cross-reference. She ascribes an appearance date of 1850 for this early design; to find it on books published in 1835 is a treat. That it would appear on a Pickering work should be no surprise. Pickering started experimenting with bookcloth as early as 1823 through his binder, Archibald Leighton, who was responsible for many innovations in the design and use of early bookcloth. The text constitutes mainly the remains of Thomas of Britain's Tristan Romance, composed in the 12th and 13th centuries in Norman French and Greek, here edited and rendered in the originals by Fr. MIchel. This is a…
