Glenview, IL: Naval Air Training Command, 1945. First Edition. Good +.. An original illustrated manual issued to WWII Naval flight cadets training at NAS Glenview, dated July 1 1945 to the title page. Generously illustrated throughout with dozens of original drawings (likely the work of a single, unnamed illustrator) and photograph reproductions, executed and lettered in a decidedly Seuss-ian style heavily influenced by modern cartooning, lending a simplistic treatment to gravely serious and technical material. A portion of the "Safety" chapter on p. 29 with the exaggerated likeness of a pilot resting upon a cloud, holding a harp, wearing angel wings and captioned: "Don't try to be the 'hottest' pilot, but try to be the 'oldest.'" and "There are bold pilots, and there are old piltos, 'But!' - there are no old, bold pilots." Six chapters are broken into dozens of sections with titles like: Your Parachute, Safety, Inherent Stability, Turns, Normal Spins, Landings, Steep Turns, Precision, Immelmans,… Ler mais

np, 1958. Very good.. Fascinating salesman's catalogue produced by British Ford, marketing their cars to American dealerships. Struggling financially, Post-WWII Britain enacted an "Export or Die" mandate for its domestic carmakers in hopes of injecting more stable currencies into its economy. This act mandated aggressive sales in foreign markets, and especially in The United States. Ford of Britain had operated as a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company since 1909, producing an entirely different line from its American division. Since it was indeed a British car manufacturer, Ford was forced compete with itself. These materials date from a 1957-1958 push aimed at getting existing U.S. Ford dealerships to sell and service the cars of their English counterpart. Included are specification sheets and sample advertisements for the various models: 10 approximately 8" x 10" black and white promotional photographs, a body color chart with paint samples, dealer pricing and cost sheets with option breakdowns… Ler mais

n.p.: Continental Classics, 1968. Near fine.. Sleaze erotica reporting on "the intimate sexual high jinks and perverted sex escapades of secret agents"; in particular, those of one British agent, "James," who reports to "M." and whose exploits uncannily mirror those of James Bond. The pseudonymous Foerster is claimed to be a "young bachelor attached to British Intelligence. An inquiry was even raised in Parliament," the prologue reveals, "concerning 'civil servants whose fornications were being financed by public funds', but for obvious reasons the matter was soon discreetly hushed up." One presumes this information to be the purest fiction, but then again, one never knows. Continental Classics #CC-150. Wraps. Mass market paperback. Printed orange-yellow wraps. Minimal wear; very faint rubbing to back cover. 188 pages. Near fine.

n.p.: n.p., 1970. Near fine.. Enigmatic and disquieting collection of six short stories and one 90-page novella, neatly and distinctively handwritten and illustrated in brown ink. The material veers in tone from the parodic to the surreal to the philosophically melancholic; the style incorporates a recondite vocabulary ("the pyral tarantism of being in the world") and a single consistent, insistent voice, alternating long unpunctuated Joycean streams of frantic consciousness with brief and airless sentence fragments. A perpetual undercurrent of violent sexuality surfaces as much in the settings and scenery as in the events: a car crash; a game of human chess; a blazing furnace; a slaughterhouse. The table of contents gives titles for each work, but no author's name; the bookplate, with initials "A. J.," offer the only clue to the item's creator or owner. The authorial narration steps out of its queasy dreamtime now and then to comment on itself ("[I]t would appear that this is the whim of the… Ler mais
