Description:
Indiana: The Lilly Library, Indiana University, 1964. Hard Cover. Near Fine. No jacket. Slightly musty. 1964 Hard Cover. 62 pp. Tipped in frontispiece portrait of Poe. Between 1954 and 1957, Josiah Kirby Lilly, Jr. donated his collection of rare books and manuscripts â widely considered to be one of the finest private libraries in the world - to Indiana University. As he had envisioned, these 20,000 printed books and 17,000 manuscripts had a transformative effect on the intellectual life of the University, and in turn, the state of Indiana. President Herman B Wells immediately recognized the collectionâs profound significance and determined a freestanding library was required to not only care for the materials, but to establish and proclaim IUâs esteemed position as caretakers and curators of the stateâs most valuable literary legacy. Named "The Lilly Library," in honor of the Lilly family, the limestone structure was…

Hoboken, New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, 2011. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket - Pictorial Cover. 6x0x9. First edition. Board corners bumped, two pages creased. 2011 Hard Cover. xii, 356 pp. An investigation into the man Scotland Yard thought (but couldn't prove) was Jack the Ripper. Dozens of theories have attempted to resolve the mystery of the identity of Jack the Ripper, the world's most famous serial killer. Ripperologist Robert House contends that we may have known the answer all along. The head of Scotland Yard's Criminal Investigation Department at the time of the murders thought Aaron Kozminski was guilty, but he lacked the legal proof to convict him. By exploring Kozminski's life, House builds a strong circumstantial case against him, showing not only that he had means, motive, and opportunity, but also that he fit the general profile of a serial killer as defined by the FBI today. The first book to explore the life of Aaron Kozminski, one of Scotland…

Jackson Pollock (born January 28, 1912, Cody, Wyoming, U.S.âdied August 11, 1956, East Hampton, New York) was an American painter who was a leading exponent of Abstract Expressionism, an art movement characterized by the free-associative gestures in paint sometimes referred to as âaction painting.â During his lifetime he received widespread publicity and serious recognition for the radical poured, or âdrip,â technique he used to create his major works. Among his contemporaries, he was respected for his deeply personal and totally uncompromising commitment to the art of painting. His work and example had enormous influence on them and on many subsequent art movements in the United States. He is also one of the first American painters to…

The documentary biography of Jacques Legardeur de Saint-Pierre, an officer in the Troupes de la Marine, who served throughout New France, sheds new light on the business activity of French colonial officers stationed in the West. Many of the eighty previously untranslated documents in Jacques Legardeur de Saint-Pierre demonstrate the extent and profitability of Saint-Pierre's pursuit of business activities while performing official duties in eighteenth-century French North America. The quest for profit permeated Saint- Pierre's career, particularly his command of the Western Sea Post after he succeeded the fabled Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de la Vérendrye. Saint-Pierre and his secret partner…

New York: Osprey Publishing, 2008. 1st Printing. Soft Cover. Fine. 7x0x9. Kopinski, Karl. First printing. An exceptional copy. 2008 Soft Cover. 64 pp. Osprey's survey of German fighter pilots of World War II (1939-1945). Fighter pilots have always been held in the highest regard and the Luftwaffe Fighter pilots or Experten were undoubtedly the best pilots in the world, often racking up huge scores when compared to Allied fighters. It is for this skill, the sheer number of kills they obtained and their glamour that they are remembered even today. But what of the men themselves' It took a certain type of man to brave the skies in 1939-45, which were often more dangerous than the battlefields below and where a lone fighter pilot was often reliant on an aircraft that was frighteningly basic and fragile. Over the years much has been written about these Luftwaffe aces, but this book seeks to examine the lives of the ordinary men who took to the skies. These men all shared the same "aggressive…

Jacket very lightly rubbed and faintly foxed. 1969 Hard Cover. 343 pp. In The Jagged Orbit, Brunner, writing at the peak of form that allowed him to create Stand on Zanzibar, takes a long, hard, disturbing, and hilarious look at the near and not-so-distant future. Catastrophic changes due to rampant drug abuse, uncontrolled violence, high-level government corruption, inhumane treatment of the too-readily defined âinsane,â and the accompanying collapse of the social order are wreaking havoc on the world we recognize and turning it into a reality we must fear and hope to avoid. Brunner tells a spine-chilling tale of where the world could possibly go that is all too believable and real for our comfort.
