New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1943. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good +/very good. A very good plus first edition in a very good dustjacket. Dustjacket has some small tears and loss. Printed map on endpapers. Pages are clean and bright with illustrations. 217 pp. 5 1/5 x 8 inches tall, duodecimo. Here's a book that helps one read the war communiques with keener understanding, that helps one know not only what happens when men go into battle in this new kind of warfare, but how they feel and what they think. It is superb reporting of the battle of El Guettar, from the waiting for orders, behind the lines, through the ghostly advance, the approach to action, the part played by different segments of the army -- and the aftermath. It is the sort of book that will make youth more aware of what he will be fighting for, in that period ahead; of what our thinking on the home front can do to help -- or hinder -- the morale at the front." Kirkus Review 1st October1943

Description:
Garden City: Doubleday, 1962. Early Printing. Cloth. Near fine/very good. A near fine, signed copy of Mr. Rathbone's autobiography. Black cloth boards with rust colored title stamping on spine. Square and sturdy binding. Deckled page edges. Inscribed by the author on the first free endpaper. Uniform toning to pages. In a very good, unclipped dust jacket, showing minor tears and loss at crown and foot of jacket, plus shelfwear at the edges. 278 pp. Octavo. Basil Rathbone is an actor and a gentleman of the old school; thus In and Out of Character, his memoir, has a sort of dated charm: the people are gay, the events gallant, the prose gilded. A very honorable, apparently honest book. Not a snippet of scandal peeps through; Aunt Edna should love it. At cricket-classy Repton School he learns esprit de corps; as a World War hero he recites Rupert Brooke to a French lass; after Stratford-on-Avon repertory and matinee idol success on the West End, he's off to New York, playing with Helen Mencken in… Read More

Baltimore: Cemetery Dance, 1993. First Edition; Limited Edition. Cloth. Fine/fine. Keith Minnion. A fine, first and limited edition, number 400 of 500 printed and signed by all authors, editor Richard Chizmar, and introduction writer Joe Lansdale. In an equally fine dustjacket and midnight blue slipcase. 264 pp. Octavo. This volume marks the exciting debut of a brand new series of dark fiction. Within these pages, you'll find terror, suspense, and mystery waiting around each corner — tales that range from quietly menacing to shockingly graphic, wildly fantastic to grimly realistic. Supernatural to psychological. It's all here, with one universal ingredient: a well-told story. As Joe R. Lansdale comments in his Introduction: "The word thriller normally means a thrill a minute, a page turner, but in the case of the following stories, and I'm sure other stories that will appear in the series, I believe the term will have to be broadened..."

Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2007. First Edition, First Printing. 1/4 cloth. Near fine/fine. A very near fine first edition, as stated. In a fine dust jacket. Blue paper boards under blue quarter cloth. Binding is sturdy and square. Lightest of marginalia in pencil, otherwise fine. 289 pp. : illustrations, maps. Octavo. Award-winning historian Leonard L. Richards gives us an authoritative and revealing portrait of an overlooked harbinger of the terrible battle that was to come. When gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in 1848, Americans of all stripes saw the potential for both wealth and power. Among the more calculating were Southern slave owners. By making California a slave state, they could increase the value of their slaves—by 50 percent at least, and maybe much more. They could also gain additional influence in Congress and expand Southern economic clout, abetted by a new transcontinental railroad that would run through the South. Yet, despite their machinations, California… Read More

Description:
New York: Random House, 2005. First Edition, First Printing. 1/4 cloth. Fine/fine. A fine first edition, as stated with full number line. In a fine dust jacket. 398 pp. Octavo. The focus of this novel is extremism. It tells the tale of two Kashmiri villages whose inhabitants gradually get caught up in communal violence. As we know from Yugoslavia, hatred takes on especially horrific manifestations when neighbors turn against each other. The neighbors to whom Rushdie introduces us are memorable and emblematic characters, especially his protagonists, the Hindu dancer Boonyi Kaul and her childhood sweetheart, Shalimar the clown, son of a Muslim family. Their passion becomes a marriage solemnized by both Hindu and Muslim rites, but as conflict heats up, Boonyi seduces the American ambassador. The resulting transformation of Shalimar into a terrorist is easily the most impressive achievement of the book, and here one must congratulate Rushdie for having made artistic capital out of his own suffering, for… Read More
