[Signed] [First Edition] Going Solo [Signed First Edition] Dahl, Roald [Used - Fine] [Hardcover] 1330.18 CAD Stated at copyright page: "First American edition, 1986". Beautifully signed by Roald Dahl on custom Farrar Straus Giroux bookplate tipped-in at half-title page: "Roald Dahl". Very attractive. Unique partial cream colored boards with royal blue extra-wide cloth spine wrap, gilt spine titles, light shelf wear. Pages near fine, no writing. Original dust wrapper, near fine; clipped, protected in new clear sleeve. Front panel features jacket painting by Sir Matthew Smith, 1942, from Dahl's collection. Beautifully illustrated throughout and at endpapers w/classic black & white collage snapshots of Dahl, WWII, family and friends. A near fine first edition in original wrapper. Everyone who has entered 'the brilliantly colored, sometimes grotesque and sometimes magical world Roald Dahl conjures will be longing to learn what happens to the supreme storyteller in Going Solo. A tale of deadly snakes on the ground and daring deeds in the air, African safaris and encounters with the Hun, told with all the appeal which has made Dahl one of the world's best-loved writers. In the autumn of 1938 Dahl sets off to work in Africa aboard a paint-peeling tub full of the dottiest fellow passengers imaginable. He falls in love with Tanganyika: a wonderful, beautiful, exciting country, plentifully covered with exotic wild animals - some of them best kept at a considerable distance. The green and black mambas, Dahl learns, make tricky opponents. Trickier still are the human predators, the Huns, who are trying to take over the world. Britain declares war on Germany and after temporary duty as an army officer, Dahl signs up with the RAF. It is impossible to imagine a more exciting or vivid account of learning to fly a fighter plane and take it up to dice with the enemy. A disastrous detour delays him for six months, but then, with all six foot six inches scrunched into the cockpit like a pretzel, young Dahl eventually takes his place in the heavily depleted 80th Squadron, consisting of a mere fifteen fighter pilots and their Hurricanes who have been ordered to provide cover for the entire British Expeditionary Force in Greece. In Dahl's case this insanely doomed venture is undertaken with minimal flying experience and no combat training whatsoever. How close we came to never meeting Charlie and his Chocolate Factory, Danny, the BFG, and Uncle Oswald, among his many other classics, is readily apparent. If you want to discover how a snake-man avoids a poisonous bite, what to do if you find yourself in the mouth of a lion and where Rudolph Valentino comes into it all, plunge into the adventurous pages of Going Solo. As Hazel Rochman in the New York Times Book Review declared of Roald Dahl: 'the autobiographical stories are as frightening and funny as his fiction'. What could be higher praise than that? Printed in the United States of America. 208 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall

[Signed] [First Edition] Transcendental Train Yard Cantu, Norma Elia; Marta Sanches (illus.) [Used - Fine] [Hardcover] 4535.18 CAD Folio. (14)ff. Ten color serigraphs by Sanchez, each incorporating poetry by Cantu, plus title sheet and three sheets with artists' statements. Includes a copy of the first edition of the trade publication of the same materials, an oblong octavo likewise signed by Sanchez. Trains and train yards have defined American history, sure signals of westward expansion, industrialization, commodity exchange, and the interconnectedness of states. Both Sanchez and Cantu, however, point out that these developments have come at a complicated, often painful cost, one that is especially high for Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. The railroads were built on the backbreaking, often exploitative labor of immigrants of all nations; in Texas, these were of Mexican origin. Sanchez's surrealist style reflects the surreal double-consciousness employed by those in power, who use immigrants for their own ends, bringing them north to America, only to adopt xenophobic attitudes and policies and to advocate for deportation. The issue has never been more obvious than in our current moment, but has long been fundamental to the train system. In her accompanying statement, Sanchez specifies the long history of depictions of trains in Mexican and Spanish film; savvy film buffs will note the suite's similarities to Emilio Fernandez's 1951 Victims of Sin. Sheets separated by protective wax paper. Accompanying book bound in full black cloth over boards, with illustrated dust wrapper. All materials fine. Housed in archival solander box with illustration to lid. One of fifty copies. Each serigraph signed, dated, and titled in pencil by Sanchez.

[Signed] [First Edition] George Harvey "A Passionate Patriot" Johnson, Willis Fletcher [Used - Near fine] [Hardcover] 135.18 CAD SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on front endpage, a full-page inscription: "My Very Dear Will Hays: There is no man in the world whom I'd have rather have read this little book of mine than yourself, and none whose judgment of it I should more highly prize; because there is none who loved George Harvey better or knew him more truly than did you. If in reading these pages you should feel even a touch of the thrill that was mine in writing them, I should be greatly gratified in the knowledge that there has been established a three-fold chain of memory, binding us together in our mutual love for him, binding us anew to him, and binding us all three to that unforgettable past. 'When every morning brought a noble chance, and every chance brought out a noble Knight'. Always faithfully yours, Willis Fletcher Johnson March, 1931". Willis Fletcher Johnson (1857 - March 29, 1931), was an author, lecturer and for twenty years foreign and diplomatic editorial writer for The New York Tribune. Will Hays managed Warren G. Hardings successful campaign for the Presidency of the U.S. and was subsequently appointed Postmaster General. After a year in that position, he resigned to become most famously known as the first President of Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), which under his guidance published a blacklist of actors and workers studios should not hire, inserted moral clauses into actors' contracts, and published an informal list of suggested guidelines for film producers. George Harvey purchased the North American Review in 1899. In 1901 he also purchased Harper's Weekly, which he edited until 1913. He was president of Harper and Company until 1915. Following the election of Warren G. Harding on March 4, 1921, he became the United States ambassador to Great Britain from 1921 until 1923. Book is Near Fine, light soiling to cloth and light shelfwear. Most pages are uncut. Johnson died at the end of the month that he inscribed this copy. Great historical Asociation Copy.
