First Edition. 84 [4] pp. book of poems in Spanish, illus. with woodcuts by José Chávez Morado. 8vo. Very good. Illus. stiff wraps, age toned, rubbed at extremities, spine with author / title neatly inscribed. [1754]
One of the best known works of Nicolás Guillén, a renowned Afro-Cuban poet who collaborated with Langston Hughes and was outspoken antifascist. José Chávez Morado's bold hand-printed design for the work's cover depicts a field of stars and bolts of lightning. An essential title for collections of Caribbean literature.

Illustrated posters, lithographically printed in red and black on semi gloss translucent commercial stock Dimension: Approx. 27.5 x 13 in. each [1384]
Very good overall, to near fine. Original posters from the student protests of 1968. This lot acquired from a private collection in California.

39 pp. chiefly text, incorporating a history of the sugar cane and rum industries with a list of recipes for rum cocktails. 12mo. Very good. Illus. stiff wraps, front cover with slight crease at central staple. [1188]
A lovely copy of the first trade edition of Campoamor's defining work on rum cocktails published in July of 1984, "Año del XXV Aniversario de Triunfo de la Revolucíon." The colophon suggests that Campoamor had self published the work in 1981, yet we can find no substantial record of the previous work. Prior to his fame as an historian of food and drink, Campoamor worked as journalist in Havana before and after the Revolution, developing ties with Neruda, Hemingway, Guillén and other luminaries of the era. Coctelería Cubana is still sought after today by bartenders and cocktail aficionados. Scarce, especially in such good condition.

117 pp. manuscript recipie book and instruction manual for the production of chocolates. 8vo. [1618]
A fascinating and detailed work concerning the use of cacao in culinary practice, mostly toward the production of chocolate confections including "choco-lait" or milk chocolate, which -- while invented in 1875 -- only rose to wide popularity in the early 20th century. Other recipes given include those for pralines, fondants creme, chocolat a la noisette, and a number of proprietary recipes for chocolate candy shells and coatings. The journal is careful, precise, and shows edits and redactions evidencing experimentation by a skilled chef. Unique.

A fascinating set of self-issued books by the author, with texts evoking beat poets of the era, dream journals, and automatic writing. Liebow went on to become a noted San Francisco Gurdjieffian hypnotist and teacher. The present offer includes the first four books he produced under the moniker Harlequin Press, each one limited to 40 copies each. They are in uniformly fine condition.

Gary Richman's 'Blue Book' project has resulted in an ongoing series of publications since the early 1980s. According to a page for the artist on Printed Matter's website. "The works are characterized by surreal combinations of black and white collages of 50's-style diagrammatic images, original line drawings, and found photographs interact with text that is direct and bold not only in voice but also in visual presentation, often printed in serif type, all capitals, or both. Images and text drawn from or referencing an authoritative context have their power undermined by Richman's unique collaging sensibility; individually, images and phrases remain… Leer más

Limited circulation promotional comic book illustrating the lyrics to a pop song. Tall thin 4to. Near fine. Illus. stiff wraps. [1313]
Pulp's anthem of class consciousness, drawn by the genius who gave us Tank Girl. According to the comically Franglish introduction, "They're part of melodic continuum that began in England's dance hall during WWI. More recent points on that timeline have included The Kinks, Roxy Music, Bowie (Diamond Dogs era), The Smiths, and Blur. Pulp's songs present a very English slice of life, garnished with bathos, wit and humor.The melange includes guitars, bass, drums, violin, a very cheesy Farisa organ (how retro!) ans [sic] the inimitable vocal stylings of Mr. Jarvis Cocker." As of September 2021, we are unable to locate this rare item, given away as a mail in promo for French fans only, in North America.

104 pp. gay and lesbian community directory, illus. 4to. Very good. Illus. stiff wraps. [1752]
From Cordova's introduction: "Just a short ten years ago, the list of LA's lesbian and gay organizations could be squeezed onto a 3 x 5 file card. The first (and only) Metropolitan Community Church, the Gay Community Services Center, The Advocate newspaper, the Daughters of Bilitis Lesbian Center, One inc., and the Crenshaw Women's Center were the only numbers you could dial and expect a warm response. The 1982 Community Yellow Pages lists 161 groups, centers, and organizations which serve our needs from camping to counseling, from the economic to the educational. To me this book is about love and courage. It is a statement about love and belonging to our particular society, and a statement of courage and strength in our commitment to make Change." Scarce.

Illustrated poster, screen printed in red and black on thick white paper stock. Very good overall, to near fine. Text is paired with an abstract image of a clenched fist. [1385]
