Berlin: Verlag der Akademie der Wissenschaften (in commission at Walter de Gruyter [Reichsdruckerei]), 29th April 1920. Imperial 8vo (25,4:18,2 cm). 6 pages, numbered 380-385. Letterpress on machine paper, in original publisher's brochure on cream stock with black title printing. First offprint in the original wrappers, of Einstein's paper on the subject of intermolecular forces. Edition: In this work Einstein calculated the rate of chemical reactions in a gas by means of observations on the propagation of sound (see Mason, »Physical Acoustics«, p. 13), an important contribution to modern acoustics. Condition: Very fine indeed. Rarity: According to Weil early offprints of Einstein's papers may also be qualified as original and also highly collectable editions, however they were printed in a certain, but still small print run for commercial use (mainly to sell them to fellow natural scientists): „No doubt, the first appearance in a periodical is the „original edition", but I have to leave it open for collectors, librarians and others to decide whether these offprints in wrappers, mostly with a printed title on them (especially in the »Sitzungsberichte der Königlich Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften«) are also „original editions".

When Bohla began his second portfolio, Neue Motive, it was meant to become an inspiration for the viewer and entice him or her to be active and creative in this field. The backdrop for this work is stated in the introduction by the author: "The study of nature serves as foundation from the outset. Not to copy nature, as a trained eye sees it, was the intention, something different could be created only when considering the form of the presentation. The objective is to create studies in a beautiful rendition, the extraction of decorative forms while applying complete freedom, recording the essence while omitting all ornateness is the general guideline. Starting with the choice of motifs diligence has to be applied. Useful native plants and animals are plentiful in nature. You can find them. magnifiers and mirrors might disclose hidden allures/charms. Happy a … [Click Below for Full Description]

F. Scott Fitzgerald. This Side of Paradise. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. 1920. The "author's apology" issue--one of 500 copies of the third printing of the first edition, signed by the author on a leaf tipped in before the title page, printed with his photograph and a note of thanks to the members of American Booksellers Association. A very good copy, tight and unmarked. The fault of note a shallow dampstain at the bottom edge of the rear board. The gilt lettering on the spine is dulled by time but intact, unworn. There are two tiny tears (about 3 millimeters) to the cloth at the head of the spine, just from being pulled off the shelf. But this copy was probably never read. No jacket is present. It's sometimes speculated that this issue was presented without one. The only "signed limited edition" of Fitzgerald's whole career--its authenticity will never be questioned.

[Italy], c.1920. 43 cm x52 cm. Oval shaped Plaque. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. The Temple of Caesar or Temple of Divus Iulius (Latin: Templum Divi Iuli; Italian: Tempio del Divo Giulio), also known as Temple of the Deified Julius Caesar, delubrum, heroon or Temple of the Comet Star, is an ancient structure in the Roman Forum of Rome, Italy, located near the Regia and the Temple of Vesta. The temple was begun by Augustus in 42 BC after the senate deified Julius Caesar posthumously. Augustus dedicated the prostyle temple (it is still unknown whether its order was Ionic, Corinthian or composite) to Caesar, his adoptive father, on 18 August 29 BC, after the Battle of Actium. It stands on the east side of the main square of the Roman Forum, between the Regia, Temple of Castor and Pollux, and the Basilica Aemilia, on the site of Caesar's cremation and where Caesar's testament was read aloud at the funeral by Mark Antony. (Wikipedia) Gaius Julius Caesar (12 or 13 July 100 BC - 15 March 44 BC), known by his cognomen Julius Caesar, was a Roman politician and military general who played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. He is also known as an author of Latin prose. In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey formed a political alliance that dominated Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power as Populares were opposed by the Optimates within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar rose to become one of the most po … [Click Below for Full Description]

London: William Heinemann, 1920. The cloth binding is slightly bent, and the pages no long crisp white; apart from that in generally very nice condition. The jacket could be called fair only; a long tear cuts through the title on the spine head; more long tears at the corners; signs of weakening at the front joint; a little worn edges. While it may not be in the best of conditions, it is of a very frail material - as is the binding - bound to have few surviving examples. Later printings became more robust. War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells William Heinemann, London, 1920 Heinemann is the original publisher of this classic science fiction work and kept printing it throughout a large portion of the 20th century. This copy belongs to a cheaply made series of the 1910s and 1920s. In this case there is an early example with the original, iconic dust jacket extant, showing the machines wreaking havoc at the sea.
