Description:
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1978. First printing. Near fine in very good plus jacket.. Signed first edition of the first science fiction novel marketed to a gay male audience by a major publishing house. CHROME narrates the far-future romantic awakening of Chrome, space cadet, server of sandwiches, and personal massage therapist to the imperious and magnificent Abd H'Lokk-Mond H'Zum (Vortex for short), from their first meeting at an elite desert spa to their several joyful reunions. URANIAN WORLDS, the classic reference guide to LGBTQ science fiction, acknowledges that "the entire novel sparkles with homoerotic tension rare in science fiction" but judges Nader's political awareness "limited" (Garber & Paleo). The latter is true, but beside the point: CHROME joins the campy verve of '50s space opera to the increasing sexual freedom of '70s science fiction, in a setting deliberately removed from contemporary struggles and pressures, with a passionate love story. This was Nader's only published…

Description:
Tokyo: Hakubunsha, 1888. Near fine.. Trilingual publication (Japanese, English, French) of elaborately produced color woodblock prints on the theme of traditional Japanese children's games. Gorgeous multi-color woodblock prints capture traditional games based on famous paintings created hundreds of years earlier. The laid-in English description includes (in part): "Hane-tsuki: 'Battledore and Shuttlecock,' a game played principally during the first ten days of the New Year"; "Koma Asobi: 'Playing with Tops,' and Tamaya: 'Blowing Soap-bubbles"; "Sugoroku, a sort of backgammon"; "Hotaru-gari: 'Hunting Fireflies"; and more, including descriptions of holidays like Obon and making "snowmen" of Daruma, the iconographic image of the monk who brought Zen to Japan. The skill of late-era ukiyo-e and nihonga artist Kobayashi Eitaku is evident in this collection, which showcases traditional subjects and aesthetics - very much in response to the Western styles enjoying a growing vogue in the Meiji era.…

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1941. First printing. Very good plus in very good plus dust jacket.. Inscribed first edition of this story of a Yorkshire terrier who rallies his animal friends to fight an unseen enemy on the edge of WWII, with illustrations by Freddy the Pig's Kurt Wiese. Published as the US teetered on the edge of entering WWII, TAPIOLA'S BRAVE REGIMENT takes a surprisingly satyrical view of the conflict that raged in Europe. This is in contrast to Robert Nathan's works after the US had joined the war, which were far more patriotic. 8.25'' x 5.25''. Original light brown boards. Original unclipped ($1.75) color pictorial dust jacket. Pictorial endleaves of animals marching across a map of Central Park. Illustrated in black and white. 138 pages. Inscribed by Nathan to second blank. Gift inscription to jacket front flap, dated 1941. Jacket with mild edgewear, some toning to spine and edges; a couple tiny scuffs. Binding with slight foxing to edges, light toning to endpapers. Tight.

Specially bound and presented first edition of the acclaimed tragi-comedy, one of only two "large paper' or 'de luxe copies" in existence. This beautiful production was created uncut in rose boards and in an Art Deco-style slipcase that matches the deluxe production's endpapers. Bound at the rear of the book is a typewritten limitation page signed by Scott Cunningham, reading in part: "This is one of two copies of the first edition bound with the sheets entirely uncut, - prior to the date of publication. In a sense these copies are advance issues, and it is certain in any case that they are the only 'large paper' or 'de luxe' copies in existence."

London: Religious Tract Society, 1845. Very good.. Mid-Victorian edition of this attractive little reader that invites children to consider its many illustrations in order to enhance the moral effect of the text. Cornelius Neale acknowledges that the woodcut emblems he assembled for this volume come from a variety of sources, and have, in many cases been used in earlier publications; "some have been picked up here and there, where the author could not now readily find them" (xiii). An interesting example of the money-saving ingenuity of some popular printers, additionally bringing up questions of attribution and copyright practice in the Victorian era. 16mo. 5.75 x 3.74" Contemporary quarter black leather binding with red boards. Red endpapers. Illustrated with a black-and-white frontispiece and numerous woodcuts throughout. xxviii, 80 pages, collated complete.

Chicago: Reilly & Lee, 1940. Fine in very good plus jacket.. First edition, first issue of the first Oz book both written and illustrated by Neill, who illustrated every Oz book from 1904 to 1942. After Baum had a falling out with W.W. Denslow, the illustrator of THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ, John R. Neill took on the job of illustrating the second Oz book, THE MARVELOUS LAND OF OZ (1904). He continued illustrating the series beyond Baum's death, providing the legitimacy of continuity for Ruth Plumly Thompson, Baum's successor. WONDER CITY OF OZ is the first of three Oz books written (and illustrated) by Neill after Thompson stepped back; his authored works are considered part of the Famous Forty, the Oz canon. Original light blue cloth, pictorial paste-on. In original unclipped ($1.50) color pictorial dust jacket, listing titles through this title. 318 pages. Book beautiful.

Description:
Chicago: The Reilly & Lee Co, 1915. Fine in very good dust jacket.. First edition thus, John R. Neill's delightful take on the Christmas classic, part of the Children's Red Book Series. Written in only six weeks at a low point in Dickens's career - and printed at his own expense when his publishers didn't want to take on the risk themselves - A CHRISTMAS CAROL Carol revived Dickens's fortunes. The characters of Scrooge and Marley, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, are immediately recognizable even to those who've never read a word of Dickens: "'God bless us every one!' said Tiny Tim, the last of all." Les Standiford calls it "the very apotheosis of [Dickens's] themes" (5) in his book THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS, which argues that Dickens's Christmas tale shaped traditions of the holiday for decades to come. Indeed, the singular success of the book would help establish a robust market for Christmas gift books that thrives to this day. Here Oz artist John R. Neill's illustrations have lent extra charm to…
