[Signed] [First Edition] Rails of the World: A Monograph of the Family Rallidae (Deluxe Collectors' Edition) Ripley, S. Dillon [Used - As new]
535.18 CAD
Half red morocco and oatmeal linen with gilt spine titles between 6 raised bands; folio; 406pp; top edge gilt; decorative endpapers; illustrated with b/w photos, maps, and charts as well as 41 full page reproductions of paintings by S. Fenwick Landsdowne; matching morocco-edged cloth-covered slipcase; limited to 400 numbered (#112) copies, signed by both author and illustrator; laid in, a signed lithograph in protective folder; the entire enclosed in original wood shipping box with paste-on printed title label. With a chapter on Fossil Species by Storrs L. Olson. From the publisher, "Pairing S. Dillon Ripley's quarter century of study with over 70 color and black and white illustrations by J. Fenwick Lansdowne, this book marks a memorable ornithological publishing event. Both the book's subject matter and its manner of production?lavishly illustrated, printed on special paper with relentless attention to every detail?represent worthy objects of celebration and preservation. Among the least known and most elusive of any major bird species, rails manage to colonize remote islands, impenetrable jungles and desolate shorelines in almost all regions of the world. Particularly interesting is their enigmatic evolution; once having arrived at a suitable habitat, they often lose their power of sustained flight and, over the centuries, their instinct for migration. With the rapid disappearance of their habitats and their vulnerability to predation, this book serves the very important function of establishing scholarship on the rail family. Rails of the World is now only available in a deluxe edition limited to 400 numbered copies signed by the author and artist, made with the finest materials and including a loose numbered and signed original lithograph." This copy is as new and only opened for cataloging and photography. Certainly scarce as such. Heavy book and extra shipping fees may be needed.

[Signed] [First Edition] THE BOYS IN THE BAND Crowley, Mart; Dillion, Leo; Dillon, Diane [Used - Near fine] [Hardcover]
485.18 CAD
First printing of this touchstone play that depicts its gay characters as both sympathetic and flawed - inscribed by actor Leonard Frey, who originated the role of Harold. THE BOYS IN THE BAND is representative of a turning point in American LGBTQ+ culture. THE NEW YORK TIMES calls it "the first play in the American gay male theatrical canon," and praises how the characters and their entanglements leap "off of the page like fat from a wok". Accordingly, THE BOYS IN THE BAND ran for 1000 performances in its off-Broadway debut, and has been the subject of several revivals and two feature films. THE BOYS IN THE BAND features an asterisk in Ian Young's key reference book THE MALE HOMOSEXUAL IN LITERATURE, marking it as of particular importance. This copy is warmly inscribed to an interviewer by award-winning actor Leonard Frey, who originated the role of Harold for both the original off-Broadway production, as well as for William Freidkin's 1970 film adaptation. Frey died of complications from AIDS in 1988. 8'' x 5.25''. Original light green cloth boards. Original unclipped ($4.50) color pictorial dust jacket designed by Leo and Diane Dillon. 182 pages.

[First Edition] All God's Children Alston Anderson [Used - Very good] [Hardcover]
170.18 CAD
Stated First Printing. First Edition. You can see the covers in the photos. They are very clean, one speck of a spot on the rear side of the spine. The black lettering is nicely bright. There's just a little bit of crinkling at the spine ends. The cover edges are in excellent shape. So are the cover corners. The page edges look very good. The book is square and the spine is straight. The book is solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The rear cover does make one little crinkling sound when you close it from a wide open position. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling at all. I'm also not finding any creasing at all. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. The dust jacket is in solid shape. It's very clean. There is a slight bit of loss off both the top and bottom edges of the spine (second photo). There's a smallish tear off the front bottom edge, and a thin line of rubbing coming up from the bottom edge of the rear side of the spine. The rear cover looks very good with only one thin closed tear off its bottom edge. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. There is a penciled line over the price and a penciled number above that. I've had the dust jacket in a fitted protective cover for as long as I've owned the book. Here's part of the author's N.Y. Times obituary: The Three Burials of Alston Anderson Alston Anderson was buried on Saturday for the second time ? or the third, if you count the slow sinking that constituted his long but unrewarded life. He was an African-American short-story writer, poet, novelist and jazz critic. He spent three years in the Army in World War II and three months of 1955 at Yaddo, the writers' colony in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. He studied philosophy at Columbia and the Sorbonne. He had sharp talent and famous friends: Richard Wright, Terry Southern, Robert Graves. His work was chosen for anthologies of 'jazz fiction' and of the best 'Negro writers.' He had a story in The New Yorker and an interview with Nelson Algren in The Paris Review. What he didn't have were money, lasting acclaim and, evidently, family. When he died in Manhattan on July 15, 2008, at 84, no one claimed his remains. The government buried him in the potter's field at Hart Island. The next two and a half years would have extended into forever but for a program that tracks down the remains of indigent veterans and provides them proper military burials. That was how Mr. Anderson came to join 19 other veterans buried on Saturday at Calverton National Cemetery on Long Island. No one could say much about them. The eulogist did what he could, reading everyone's name and years of service, and then a poem about going to the arms of Jesus. He did not say that the coffin in the first row on his far right held the author of 'Lover Man,' stories of Southern black...
