The Stars Like Dust. Doubleday & Company, Inc, Garden City, NY 1952 - First edition of Asimov's second science fiction novel. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Isaac Asimov on the title page. Light offsetting to the endpapers, near fine in a very good dust jacket with light rubbing to the spine. The Stars Like Dust is the first book in Asimov's Galactic Empire series. "Science fiction on the larger scale is Isaac Asimov's specialty. The scene of his new book, a rousing adventure story of the remote future, is the Galaxy, which, with its hundreds of inhabited planets, has been taken over by a dictatorial race called, appropriately enough, the Tyranni. A small group of rebels wage a determined battle against the dictators, giving Mr. Asimov plenty of opportunities to plot those involved and subtle twists for which he is known. Its clear writing and excellent suspense make this book a welcome addition to the science fiction lists" (The New York Times).

UMBERTO D. (1952) Rizzoli FIlms 1952 - Vintage original 16 x 11 ¾" (41 x 30 cm.) double weight matte finish photo, Italy. Carlo Battisti, Maria Pia Casilio, dir: Vittorio De Sica; Rizzoli. A magnificent and exceedingly rare large format photo, almost certainly made for use at the Cannes Film Festival. Umberto D. is a simple and heartbreaking film about an old man who lives in a small room with his dog, named Flike, and who simply does not have enough money to survive on (his tiny monthly pension is 18,000 lire, which might sound decent, but his rent was 10,000 lire, and his landlady just increased it). Surely the ultimate masterpiece of the post-WWII Italian neorealist movement. In this scene, Umberto sells one of his last few possessions, a treasured pocket watch, for a fraction of its value, because he owes back rent and is in danger of losing the small room where he has lived for thirty years.

Foundation and Empire New York: Gnome Press Publishers, 1952. First edition, first issue. Octavo, original red cloth with the publisher's imprint on the spine measuring 2.2 cm. Fine in a near fine bright dust jacket. Boldly signed by Isaac Asimov on the title page. Foundation was originally a series of eight short stories published in Astounding Magazine between May 1942 and January 1950. According to Asimov, the premise was based on ideas set forth in Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, and was invented spontaneously on his way to meet with editor John W. Campbell, with whom he developed the concept. "The first four stories were collected, along with a new story taking place before the others, in a single volume published by Gnome Press in 1951 as Foundation. The remainder of the stories were published in pairs by Gnome as Foundation and Empire (1952) and Second Foundation (1953), resulting in the "Foundation Trilogy", as the series was known for decades" (Halmad, Spectra). The Foundation Trilogy was given a Hugo Award for the "Best All-Time Series" in 1966. [Bookseller: Raptis Rare Books]

The Day of the Triffids; Revolt of the Triffids Very Good/Very Good. FIRST APPEARANCE AND FIRST BOOK EDITION of Wyndham's science fiction masterpiece. With scarce review copy slip for the book edition. Housed together in magnificent custom box by noted book artist Sjoerd Hofstra. "John Wyndham's 1952 novel The Day of the Triffids is among the most enduring works of post-World War II British science fiction. In continuous print since its first serialized publication in the U.S. magazine Collier's, it has been translated into at least fifteen languages and adapted for a feature-length film (1962), a graphic novel and newspaper comics serialization (1975, 2004), a stage adaptation (2005), two high-profile BBC Television series (1981, 2009), and three BBC Radio and World Service productions (1957, 1968, 2001). The novel's eponymous man-eating plants are firmly rooted in the popular horticultural imaginary: a 'triffid' is an oversized, possible menacing interloper discovered in one's garden; genetlically-modified crops that threaten to contaminate established varieties are often referred to as 'triffids'… A generation of film enthusiasts that has never encountered the novel or its adaptations knows by heart that Janette Scott once fought a triffid that spits poison and kills…" (Terry Harpold, "The End Begins: John Wyndham's Zombie Cozy"). Time "Top 10 Post-Apocalyptic Books". The Day of the Triffids first appeared as Revolt of the Triffids in a somewhat abridged form in five consecutive issues of Collier's magazine (January - February, 1951), with dramatic color illustrations by Fred Banbery. The first American book edition then followed, preceding the first British edition. [The Day of the Triffids]. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1951.

The Decisive Moment (First Edition) Simon and Schuster in collaboration with Editions Verve of Paris, New York 1952 - First Edition. Board and jacket design by Henri Matisse. 126 black and white plates with original "Captions" booklet laid-in as issued. One of the most influential collections of 20th century street photography ever released; popularized by Cartier-Bresson's unique ability to capture the emotive nature of his subjects. The book's title came from an 17th century essay by Cardinal de Retz, in which he states "there is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment." As a result, the concept of waiting for the correct "moment" has been attributed to modern photographic technique ever since.Very Good in a Very Good dust jacket. Boards slightly bowed and toned at the edges, with light rubbing overall. Jacket has some dampstaining at the rear panel and flap, light toning at the spine, and a few closed tears.
