New York: Phaidon, 2001. First edition. Fine in very good plus dust jacket.. Inscribed first edition of this attractive volume on the life and work of modernist architect R. M. Schindler, the originator of the idea of "Space Architecture" - a particular focus on interior space. R. M. Schindler worked with Frank Lloyd Wright in his early career, but he remained "largely unrecognized by the critical establishment during his lifetime" (jacket) for his unwillingness to conform to the International Style favored by Wright.

New York / Joliet / Chicago: The P.F. Volland Company, 1928. Fine in very good box.. First edition, first printing of the eighth book in the Raggedy Ann series, featuring the magical left-handed safety pin and other whimsical fantasy elements - in the original box. First acclaimed on the scene of the Sunday comics with "Mr. Twee Deedle," Gruelle launched into fame with his Raggedy Ann series. The books were based upon a rag doll he had designed with bright red hair, though Gruelle "always considered Raggedy Ann and Andy to be, first and foremost, storybook characters, whose personas had been born and refined on the printed page" (Hall 17). Mixing the down to earth with the witty, the Raggedy Ann and Andy series also blend charming images for children with a Jazz Age sensibility. In this installment, magic is the theme: the doll siblings run into witches, magicians, and other magical creatures among a fairy-tale like forest setting. A terrific copy. 9'' x 6''. Original color pictorial boards with… Leer más

Joliet / New York / Chicago / Boston: The P.F. Volland Company, 1932. Fine in very good plus box.. Beautiful copy of this mystery story in the Raggedy Ann series, an early printing (with no known differentiation between first and early printings, per bibliographer Patricia Hall). First acclaimed on the scene of the Sunday comics with "Mr. Twee Deedle," Gruelle launched into fame with his Raggedy Ann series. The books were based upon a rag doll he had designed with bright red hair, though Gruelle "always considered Raggedy Ann and Andy to be, first and foremost, storybook characters, whose personas had been born and refined on the printed page" (Hall 17). Mixing the down to earth with the witty, the Raggedy Ann and Andy series also blend charming images for children with a Jazz Age sensibility. Bibliographer Patricia Hall notes that "by 1928, Volland had abandoned" its traditional approach to marking later printings (which they called "editions"), and as a result, "one cannot assume that these… Leer más

San Francisco: Rosy Cheeks, 1977. First edition. Very good plus.. Complete 13-issue original run (and brief two-issue re-launch) of this groundbreaking countercultural fashion magazine, one of the first to document vernacular fashion. Founded by ROLLING STONE veteran Baron Wolman, with editors Mary Peacock and Daphne Davis (of HARPER'S BAZAAR and VOGUE), and artist Barbara Kruger serving as art director for most of the run, RAGS's blend of DIY anti-fashion, politics, art, and music helped define the look and feel of the early 1970s and paved the way for vanguard punk and hip-hop styles. OCLC locates some two dozen holdings, but with many major institutions lacking; complete runs (a rare trial dummy issue preceded) remain uncommon, and especially in collectible condition as here. Like ROLLING STONE, it was printed on newsprint, so issues are rather ephemeral. Though the original run lasted little more than a year, the magazine's cult influence has endured: from i-D, PURPLE, and THE FACE to Bill… Leer más

New York: Harper & Row, 1970. Fine.. First edition of this groovy collection of four little books containing poetry and art meant to encapsulate the different seasons. In these vibrant books, the priest-turned-poet Joseph Pintauro captures the vibes of the four seasons alongside paintings and collage by Norman Laliberté. Laliberté's big artistic break came when he was selected to design the colorful banners for the Vatican Pavilion for the 1964 World's Fair in New York City. "Color is very personal, very personal. Every artist has his own color scheme," he said in an interview excerpted by THE BOSTON GLOBE. "In my case, I'm very colorful." His penchant for the pallet is captured in his illustrations for THE RAINBOW BOX, but this collection shows that his artistic design expands beyond the world of paint: the volumes also feature interesting and quirky collages made from Victorian type ornaments and old photographs, as well as marbled paper from Douglas Cockerell and Son. A delightful and well-kept… Leer más
