This volume collects 17 papers, most of which first appeared in Economica between 1941 and 1944, in which Hayek spells out the case for subjectivism and methodological individualism in the social sciences. The UK edition was published the same year by George Allen & Unwin. [Bookseller: Peter Harrington]

Approach to Infinity [Roy Squires], [Glendale, CA] 1952 - [Glendale, CA]: [Roy Squires], [1952]. First and only edition. Signed by Dollens and inscribed to Barbara Champlin on the "About the Artist" page. Illustrated throughout by Dollens. Unpaginated, but 14 pp, including wraps. A little age toning of the paper, else fine. Extraordinarily rare and visionary little black-and-white paper opus published by Roy Squires in Glendale in 1952 (though nowhere so credited within), with front and rear wrapper illustrations based on photographic miniatures with projected backgrounds, the illustrations within reproduced from water-color and tempera paintings, partly sprayed through stencils, all by Dollens. The theme herein, for the images and the text (also by Dollens), is a mystical one of man's approaching destiny out there somewhere in the endless stars, with a sense that this is so very natural, a step in our spiritual evolution. Somewhere in the web between the text and illustrations lies an oddly almost religious mood. Looking at it, reading it, this unpretentious little book really does seem to crystalize what science fiction is all about for many of us - as does the title itself. Subsequent readings then almost feel like a benediction. Sounds like a very lot from a very little, but that's what Dollens achieved here. The multi-talented Dollens was a long-time science-fiction illustrator and photographer, with numerous cover and internal illustration credits in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Aboriginal Science Fiction, Science Fiction Advertiser, Fantasy Advertiser, Räuber auf Selena, The Future Is Now, Gamma: New Frontiers in Fiction, and others, and was the dustjacket portrait photographer for such authors as Ray Bradbury (The Martian Chronicles, Something Wicked This Way Comes) and Chad Oliver (The Winds of Time), not to mention non-sci-fi works such as the photography for Karen Kuykendall's Every Cats. Inscription to Barbara Champlin is in blue-green ink, next to his professional address at the time (presumably circa 1952, though the inscription is undated) at 3771 Motor Avenue, Los Angeles 34 California. A very early creation for both Dollens and publisher Roy Squires. Try finding another one of these. L-100 [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; Soft Cover] [Bookseller: Singularity Rare & Fine]

Scott Wright, Jr., the editor of *The Palette*, a small newsletter published by the Connecticut Arts Association in the 1960s. The letters, most of which are Signed, are in response to requests from Wright, a teacher at Weston High School in Weston, Connecticut, for voluntary contributions to his modest and perpetually underfunded periodical. The responses he received are interesting and illuminating, and cover a wide swathe of celebrity from political leaders to authors and artist to scientists and doctors. Included are 69 carbon copies of the typed letters sent by Wright. Recipients include: Dr. Stringfellow Barr, Thomas Hart Benton, Dr. Ralph Bunche, Bruce Catton, Sir Winston Churchill, Arthur Compton, Dr. James B. Conant, Alistair Cooke, Norman Cousins, Peter DeVries, R. Buckminster Fuller, Dr. A. Whitney Griswold, John Hersey, Sidney Hertzberg, Robert M. Hutchins, John F.

LE CON D'IRÈNE. 1952 - Sans lieu [Paris], Chez l'Auteur [Jean-Jacques Pauvert], 1952. In-8 (142 X 227) broché, couverture rempliée imprimée en rouge et noir, dos muet ; 107 pages. Le cinquième feuillet (pages 9-10) est manquant, découpé par l?éditeur, comme pour tous les exemplaires. Il contenait l'achevé d'imprimer avec la mention "Éditions J.-J. Pauvert", et a été supprimé par crainte des foudres de la censure et d'une éventuelle condamnation. Infimes rousseurs dans les barbes. ÉDITION CLANDESTINE ornée en frontispice d'une gravure à l'eau-forte d'Hans BELLMER. Il s'agit de la deuxième édition du texte, et du PREMIER TIRAGE du frontispice. TIRAGE UNIQUE sur beau papier limité à 100 EXEMPLAIRES numérotés sur vergé d'ARCHES (n°6). Le titre et la pagination sont imprimés en rouge. C'est Hans BELLMER qui a conçu la maquette de l'ouvrage : dessin du titre, choix de la typographie et mise en page. Publiée sans nom d'auteur ni d'éditeur, cette oeuvre n'était pas destinée à être mise dans le commerce. L'édition courante paraitra l'année suivante, cette fois avec le nom de l'éditeur "Pauvert". L'édition originale, illustrée de cinq eaux-fortes libres d'André Masson avait été éditée par René Bonnel en 1928. "Le Con d'Irène" n'est pas qu'une oeuvre alimentaire. Son écriture seule suffirait à lui dénier cette qualification. On sait maintenant qu'elle se rattache à "La Défense de l'infini", le grand roman qu'Aragon détruisit un jour d'automne 1927 dans un hôtel de Madrid. Cette édition n'est citée ni dans la bibliographie d'Aragon de Crispin Geoghegan ni dans celle des livres érotiques de Pascal Pia. SPLENDIDE RÉALISATION de l'éditeur Jean-Jacques Pauvert. (Dutel, 1764. ? Denoël, 26. ? Coron, "Des Livres rares", 161). NICE COPY. PICTURES AND MORE DETAILS ON REQUEST. [Attributes: First Edition; Soft Cover] [Bookseller: LIBRAIRIE ERIC CASTERAN]

FORT CONCHO AND THE TEXAS FRONTIER San Angelo Standard-Times, 1952., 1952. First edition. 8vo. Presentation inscription by the author, "For Ken Huddleston, Nov. 1, 1987 – Ken: I won’t try to recount it here, but next time we get together for a leisurely visit I’ll relate, for the record, something of the story of the making of this book – which, from the standpoint of art, printing and binding, I’ll personally guarantee to be sound –J Evetts Haley (brand)". Cloth, 352 pp., illus., 4 maps & diagram of the fort. Designed and produced by Carl Hertzog. Illus. by H.D. Bugbee. Maps by Jose Cisneros. A truly great history of the West Texas frontier. "Fort Concho was not only the center of significant events; it was the geographic and strategic hinge upon which history swung. From this vital pivot swung the great campaigns that swept the Comanches off the southern plains, that blocked at last the renegade Apaches along the Mexican border, and that extended a generally protective shield across the heart of Texas...by the very magnitude of its stage and the vital movements of its time, it was destined to occupy a place in history."--J. Evetts Haley. "This is one of the best books about any of the vital string of federal forts established in West Texas to tame the frontier."--John H. Jenkins. A "must" for any Texana or Indian Wars collection. Fine, tight copy, in lightly rubbed dust jacket with light wear to the extremities. Highly recommended. Becoming scarce.

The Old Man and the Sea New York: Charles Scribner's & Sons, 1952. First edition. Octavo, original light blue cloth. Fine in a fine first issue price-clipped dust jacket without the usual fade to the spine. A superior copy. Upon its publication in 1952 by Charles Scribner's Sons, The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the following year and was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Hemingway in 1954. The novel reinvigorated Hemingway's literary reputation. It initiated a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novel was received with such alacrity, that it restored many readers' confidence in Hemingway's capability as an author. Indeed, the publisher even wrote on an early dust jacket, calling the novel a "new classic," and it was compared by many critics to such revered works as William Faulkner's "The Bear" and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
