New Preston, CT: Bernhardt Wall, 1926. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. In his introduction to this book, Wall explains that he had purchase an old two-volume set of The Spectator at a secondhand bookstore when he was a child. The tale printed here was a favorite of young Bernhardt. It is (supposedly) Addison's translation of a story about a man who, as a joke, was wrapped up like a mummy and then placed in bed between two beautiful naked women who teased him all night long. Wall's illustrations for the story are cartoonish, not unlike the work for many of his postcards. But there are two other etchings near the front of the book of an entirely different character, dark, and moody. In one, a ghostly figure kneels on a grave and in another, a man tortured after death, tries to catch a fish in his teeth while his arms are restrained. Wall also includes portraits of Addison and Plato in this volume. Published in an edition of 150 copies, this is number 10. 21 etched leaves, including eight text…

Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1946. First Edition. Trade paperback. Very good. The final report on the relocation, internment, and incarceration of Japanese immigrants and of Japanese Americans following the Japanese Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. While the book's chronology begins in January 1942, the chapter called "The Price of Prejudice" notes that the FBI reported on December 11 that more than 1200 Japanese aliens had already been arrested. This report, like many of the post-War publications by the staff of the War Relocation Authority, is critical of the decision to intern the Japanese and is sympathetic to the hardships Japanese and Japanese Americans faced. The book also covers the little-remembered activities of the Farm Security Administration and the Federal Reserve Bank, which was responsible for internees' property. xvi, 212 pages. Illustrated with halftone photographs. First edition (first printing). A very good copy in the original printed wrappers.
