About FIRST EDITION LIBRARY Books:

First Edition Library books are EXACT facsimiles of the original first edition, first printings. The aim was to publish the best of American literature as it first appeared. FEL replicas have the same weight, size, typeface, art, dust jacket, finish and texture as well as points of issue as the originals. The sewn bindings, stamping and even the original price on the jacket flap are all exact replicas. The only marks identifying FEL books as not being the originals is "FEL" printed at the bottom of the rear dustjacket flaps, and a First Edition Library statement on the copyright pages (printed in its own block to distinguish it from the facsimile original first edition copyright statements).

TWO Scarce FINE BINDINGS by SEMET & PLUMELLE.

TWO PHOTOGRAPHS OF JACK LONDON, used as aids for developing the character of Jack London in the film THE ADVENTURES OF MARTIN EDEN. Each photo has the following typed statement attached to its backside: : "AN EARLY PHOTOGRAPH OF JACK LONDON which served as an aid to Glenn Ford in his title characterization in Columbia's 'The Adventures of Martin Eden.' The photographs were borrowed from the London estate prior to production of the picture." There is also an identification number typed on each slip, and an identification number handwritten in pencil on the top of the backside of each photograph. The photographs are 8x10 glossy b&w prints. They are original prints from the Jack London Estate, but may be prints of a photo of a photo, or prints from old negatives. Though I am not certain what generation the photographs are, they clearly are early, certainly pre 1942 which was when the film The Adventures of Martin Eden was released. These photographs were obviously taken during Jack London's short life (b 1876 d. 1916) with the originals becoming part of Jack London's Estate upon his death in 1916. The photographs are in Good condition with some light creases and bends from handling and use. About MARTIN EDEN the novel, and THE ADVENTURES OF MARTIN EDEN the film: ******Originally published in 1909, Jack London's novel MARTIN EDEN tells the story of a self-taught member of the Proletariat struggling to become a writer. The novel provided the basis for the 1942 movie THE ADVENTURES OF MARTIN EDEN starring Glenn Ford and Claire Trevor and distributed by Columbia Pictures.******

TWO LARGE SCRAPBOOKS kept by JEAN (Jeannie) LA BREE of CASSELTON, NORTH DAKOTA. 1950s-1980s.

The scrapbooks consist of two large, 15x13 inch, 3 ring binders with vinyl covers, each with approximately 30 leaves (i.e. 60 pages) that are covered with plastic. Almost every page is filled with glued or tipped in articles, photographs, cards, notes, letters, and other ephemera related to Casselton, North Dakota, and to the life of Jean La Bree from the 1950s through the early 1980s as a High Schooler in Casselton; a college student in Missouri, Miami and New York; an aspiring model and professional dancer in New York; etc.

One scrapbook contains a lot of pages filled with clipped articles and photographs related to Casselton, North Dakota, where Jean La Bree grew up and where her father was a lawyer; lots of pages filled with travel ephemera; and lots of pages filled with ephemera from New York including modeling photos, dance photos, Hunter College items, a Birdland Jazz Center item, etc. etc. While in New York was Jean La Bree a model, dancer, student at Hunter, a jazz aficionado? The dates range from the 1950s to the early 1980s.

The other scrapbook has a handwritten title on the spine that says: "JEANNE COLLEGE YEARS: Stephens [Stephens College] Columbia, Missouri; University of Miami; Etc." The first page includes an announcement of Commencement Exercises for the Senior Class of Stephens College. It is dated 1952 and has the signature of Jeannie Claire La Bree. Did she then take her AA degree and go to the University of Miami, then Hunter College (New York)? Looks like she did. Lots of college related ephemera including photographs of fellow students and friends, newspaper clippings (including a number of articles about Panty Raids that turned nasty), programs, banners etc. What's a cloth Confederate Flag doing in here? Hmmm.

The Scrapbooks are in VERY GOOD condition.

The 1940 census provides the following information on Jean La Bree - Age: 7; Born: North Dakota, Casselton; Gender: Female; Home in 1940: Casselton, North Dakota; Father Gordon La Bree 39, Mother Olga La Bree 35.

What happened to Jean Claire La Bree after 1940 is in these two filled scrapbooks. This Casselton, North Dakota, girl who moved on to live an adventurous woman's life is just waiting to be uncovered. By you.

BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: These two large scrapbooks are very heavy and will require additional shipping charges. After placing your order you will be notified of the additional charges and be able to accept or reject them before your payment is processed.

UKIYOE PAINTINGS by HIROSHIGE and Other Masterpieces from the AOKI COLLECTION.

Produced by the Chiba City Museum of Art and the Kitakyushu City Museum of Art. Published by Asahi Shimbun, Japan, 1999. First Edition.

Softcover Book / Exhibition Catalog, French flaps, 9x12 inches, 195 pages. Beautifully ILLUSTRATED with 209 color reproductions of items from the exhibition.

TEXT in JAPANESE, but for an Introductory Message about the Exhibition in English at the beginning, and a brief ENGLISH description (e.g. artist and title) of each of the 209 plates at the rear.

FINE condition, tight, bright, clean and unmarked; looks and feels unused.

From the English language introductory Message:

******The present exhibition places on display a selection of outstanding ukiyoe paintings and woodblock prints, including Hiroshige paintings never before shown publicly, from the collection of Aoki Tosaku (1870-1946), a businessman from Tochigi prefecture.

For many years (the collection) remained inaccessible to the general public, but in 1997 it attracted nationwide attention overnight when it was donated to the town of Bato in Tochigi prefecture by Aoki Tosaku's son. The town is at present proceeding with construction of an art museum to house the collection, but we have been given special permission to exhibit a part of the collection before the official opening.

The forty-odd paintings by Hiroshige that are the collection's major attraction constitute the largest such group in the world. The exhibition brings together some two hundred carefully selected items from the Aoki Collection, including, in addition to these Hiroshige paintings, woodblock prints by Kunisada, Kuniyochi, Kobayashi Kiyochika, Innoue Yasuji; and oils by Kawamura Kiyoo.******

This is an UNPRODUCED SCREENPLAY by EVA BARTOK titled LETTER TO MY DAUGHTER or IMRE. Undated (1970s?) The screenplay seems to be Semi-Autobiographical. It tells the story of a Mother and Her Young Daughter in Nazi Germany. Eva Bartok had a Catholic mother and a Jewish Father, and so does the mother in this screenplay. The inner angst this caused Bartok (and the mother and child in this screenplay) during the Nazi years is on full display. Photocopied on plain white paper (copy machine copies were, and still are, common among draft, production and working screenplays; drafts could be quickly made and sent to the film's writers, agents, producers, directors, etc.), 8.5x11 inches, 136 pages plus a title page, pages printed on one side only. Plastic spiral bound. GOOD condition, the title page has some words covered with White Out and white label tape, the title is written in black marker on the front page edges; there are a few relevant margin notes (photocopied as is this entire draft); the last few pages have light staining at the left margin; there are the usual photocopying dust marks and some corner creases, otherwise the script is bright and clear. An Unusual and Rare Screenplay by the Actress EVA BARTOK, perhaps revealing some of what it was like for her as a Catholic / Jewish child married to a Nazi Officer in Nazi Germany. This is the only copy that I have or have ever seen. About EVA BARTOK (from Wikipedia): ******Eva Bartok (b. 1927 d. 1998), was an actress born in Budapest, Hungary as Eva Marta Szoke Ivanovics. She began acting in films in 1950 and her last credited appearance was in 1966. She is best known for appearances in Blood and Black Lace, The Crimson Pirate, Operation Amsterdam, and Ten Thousand Bedrooms. During World War II, a teenaged Bartok, the daughter of a Jewish father and a Catholic mother, was forced to marry Hungarian Nazi officer Geza Kovacs; the marriage was annulled after the war on the grounds of coercion of a minor. She had four other marriages, all of which ended in divorce, including her final marriage, to actor Curd Jurgens (1955-56). Her daughter Deana was born in 1957, shortly after the marriage to Jurgens ended. Three decades later, Bartok claimed Deana's biological father was actually Frank Sinatra, with whom she had a brief affair in 1956. Eva Bartok died on 1 August 1998 in London.******

Photo Album, softcover, printed dark grey paper wrappers, oblong, 10" x 6", 14 pages, side staple bound, to each page is adhered a 7" x 5" sepia toned photograph featuring different views of the interior and grounds of the Evan's Koronis Lake lakeside Summer Home, a total of 14 different photographs. Included are interior and exterior shots, Mr. and Mrs. Evans are in many of the images, standing near a gazebo next to the lake, sitting on a wooden bench amongst the trees and on the stairs leading up to the front door of their rather lovely house, sitting inside their well appointed home taking in the view, and reading a newspaper in front of a roaring fire, Mr. Evans showing off his wood cutting skills, and watching an antique Model T drive along the unpaved driveway. The photographs seem quite professional, it appears more like a real estate brochure than a memory book. The original photographs are very well composed and the house and grounds are beautiful. VERY GOOD CONDITION: the paper covers have some staining, the front cover has a 1" closed spine margin tear and the rear cover has a 3" closed spine margin tear, some spots of glue residue here and there, and the original photographs are bright and unmarked.

About VESC/OBJET/GEGENSTAND (from the Publisher):

******Although it lasted for only two issues (double issue 1&2 and issue 3) and was written mostly in Russian, the Russian Emigrant magazine "Vesc" exercised an enormous influence on other periodicals of that time. Today, the avant-garde art journal is considered a modernist landmark. Now, for the first time, the extraordinary contents of this short-lived magazine are made accessible in annotated translations and summaries.

This portfolio slipcase includes reprints of the original two issues of "Vesc Objet Gegenstand" from March/April and May 1922, edited by El Lissitzky and Ilja Ehrenburg with contents designed by El Lissitzky. A third volume features commentary and translations in both German and English.******

About ILYA EHRENBURG (from Wikipedia):

******Ilya Ehrenburg, b.1891 d.1967, was a Russian journalist, revolutionary, writer, and historian. With around one hundred published titles, he is one of the most prolific and notable authors of the Soviet Union. In the 1920s, Ehrenburg moved to Paris and later Berlin, where he published the magazine Vesc/Objet/Gegenstand together with El Lissitzky.******

About EL LISSITZKY (from Wikipedia):

El Lissitzky, b.1890 d.1941, was a Russian architect and painter, who from 1919/20 onwards was involved with Suprematism. Between 1919 and 1927 he produced a large body of paintings, prints, and drawings that he referred to by the word Proun, an acronym for "project for the affirmation of the new" in Russian. The term Proun was conceived by Lissitzky in 1919 specifically to signify his turn to non-objective art. Lissitzky's versatile body of work includes poster and theater set design, typography, and architecture.******

EXPRESS TRAINS. A Japanese Picture Book on LIMITED EXPRESS TRAINS. Full of details on a wide variety of Japanese Express Trains, and a few International trains such as the French TGV and British APT. Includes technological details. FULLY ILLUSTRATED.

Published by Gakken, Tokyo, Japan, 1982. First Edition. ISBN: 4050044080.

Hardcover Book in Slipcase, 7.5x10.5 inches, 136 pages.

Condition: GOOD book, bump and wear to the top of the spine, inner pages lightly creased at the top of the spine, crease to the bottom corner area of the last page, otherwise the book is bright, clean, clear and unmarked; in a GOOD slipcase that has wear to its edges, corners and spine ends, but is bright, and doing its job well. A solid, presentable copy.

From a Japanese review on a Japanese website (roughly translated by Google, edited for clarity):

******This is a book that my parents bought me about 30 years ago. As a train lover, I often pulled this book off the bookshelf and looked at the illustrations and photos of the trains. I lost the book more than 20 years ago, but I recently found it again and bought it.

There are many trains that have been abolished since this book was published in 1982, which makes the illustrations of trains (such as Shinkansen 0 series vehicles), all the more interesting. Not only the trains, but also train names and rail lines themselves have changed or been abolished, for example the Nagano Shinkansen is no longer running, and the steep slope Usui Pass between Karuizawa and Yokogawa in Nagano Prefecture is now pulled by heavy duty electric locomotives. There are also pictures of "Asama" of the L limited express and of the old Shinkansen's general command center.

There are technical details I still do not understand, such as "In the Moha 781 intermediate electric car, the control of the main motor is constant current control by thyristor continuous phase control." The end of the book is full of such details, including the technology of train power, speed control, brakes, signals, etc. Maybe you will understand them.

When I turned the pages after a long absence, I felt very nostalgic.******

Substantial archive of genealogical materials, including handwritten notes, letters, charts, etc., lots of ephemera, articles, documents, photographs, computer printouts and disks, family trees, etc. etc. FOUR 3 RING BINDERS STUFFED with MATERIAL, plus two books, one on Early Fairchild Families and one on Lauderdale County, Mississippi. From the Estate of MAMIE WALTERS late of Crockett, California, b. 1947 d. 2018, who clearly was the gatherer, writer, and compiler of the materials. Appears to have been gathered and written by Mamie Walters for a book she hoped to publish on the WALTERS and related families. Much of the material seems to have been gathered and written in the 2000s, up until her death in 2018. What I can glean from the material is that her main genealogical roots are WALTERS and FAIRCHILD, and that her early roots include Mississippi, among other places. The materials are all either 3 hole punched and in the rings of the binder, or stuffed loosely into the binders. All are clean and legible though in various states of handling, showing creases and use. The two books have relevant handwritten notes and marks. A jumbled treasure of genealogy. Have Fun!!! INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: This archive is very heavy and will be very expensive to ship Internationally, requiring very substantial additional shipping charges.
