1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. History and very detailed analysis of the printing and publication of the book from the viewpoint of the Nazi Party and Dritte Reich, German gothic text (of course), ill, f/o, foreword by Hans Johst. In 1933, Johst signed the Gelöbnis treuester Gefolgschaft, a declaration of loyalty to Hitler by pro-Nazi writers. In 1935, Johst became the President of the Reichsschrifttumskammer (writer's union) and of the Deutsche Akademie für Dichtung (poetry academy), powerful organisations for German writers. In the same year the last prominent Jewish writers, e.g. Martin Buber, were expelled from the Reichsschrifttumskammer. By this time these organisations restricted membership to writers whose work was either explicitly pro-Nazi or at least approved of by the Nazis as non-"degenerate". Johst achieved many other positions of importance within the Nazi state and the SS. He was the Nazi poet laureate. A rare book in excellent condition, VG/VG, 1st edn. Wonderful drawing on dust jacket by Albrecht Durer, 1506. The book was published with the assistance of Hellmuth Langenbucher, regarded as one of the leading Nazi literary scholars and was one of the most influential journalists and publicists of the Nazi Party.

Signed and numbered by the artist. The artist created her own A to Z set of animals. The story goes that after a flood in Waukesha the animals of the A Through Z Pet Emporium escaped their cages and fled to the upper floors. After the waters receded and the animals returned to their "homes," thirteen babies were found. Curiosities of nature had been born: a Bassadillo (armadillo + basset hound); a Herrhound (greyhound + heron); a Narth (moth + narwhal), etc. We always knew that mixing it up was fun, but this is wonderfully outrageous.

Austin: Texas Writers Project, 2000. Original . Broadside. FINE. 24 x 36 inches, printed on high quality coated stock with metalic ink. Shipped- rolled in heavy tube. This fabulous poster was created especially for the featured author of Texas Writers Month in 2000 held in Austin, Texas by graphic designer Marc English. It is printed on heavy high quality coated stock in metalic inks: silver and bronze and laid over a duotone photograph of the rugged Big Bend country of West Texas. The poster quotes a long scene from McCarthy's BLOOD MERIDIAN with drops of bronze red blood for emphasis. This is a stunning visual and carries the impact of the original text depicting a scene of horror as the savages line up on horseback along the ridge their glass beads and painted bodies caught forever in the sun's hot glare as they anticipate the massacre that would follow. Only McCarthy could make this scene so vivid you might have to put the book down and never finish it.
