[The] Day Mars Invaded Earth (Original screenplay for the 1963 film) Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox / API, 1962. First Draft script for the 1963 film. A nuanced "invasion from Mars" film that borrows cleverly from both "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (aliens use human beings as physical hosts) and Val Lewton (threat of a creature, but creature is only implied, not shown). An unusually heavy emphasis on dread, atmosphere, and characterization makes this one of the most overlooked "adult" science fiction films of the 1960s. Black three-ring binder, noted as "DAY MARS INVADED EARTH" on the front wrapper, with a credit for screenwriter Spalding (as "Spaulding"). Title page present, with the title "SPACERAID 63," with a credit for screenwriter Spalding, production No. 6277, dated June 22, 1962. 96 leaves, mimeograph, with blue revision pages throughout, dated 6/28/62. Pages Near Fine, with a few small creases, binder wrapper Near Fine, with a bit of wrinkling to the front title label. [Bookseller: Royal Books, Inc.]

Claudia Cardinale on the set of "Il Gattopardo" [The Leopard] N.p.: N.p., 1962. Original double weight, borderless photograph of Claudia Cardinale on the set of director Luchino Visconti's 1963 film, "Il Gattopardo," taken in 1962 during shooting.

Visconti's classic, spacious homage to the quiet death of the Sicilian aristocracy of the mid-nineteenth century, one of the great films of the Italian cinema. Perhaps the apex of Ms. Cardinale's career, and one of a handful of examples of Burt Lancaster's willingness to take on literate, complex roles. Nominated for an Academy Award.

Zeichen im Sand. Die szenischen Dichtungen der Nelly Sachs [Unterzeichnet / Signiert / Signed] [Signs in the Sand. The Scenic Poetic Impressions of Nelly Sachs; Signed] Suhrkamp, 1962, Hardcover, Book Condition: Fine, Dust Jacket Condition: fine, First edition. A Fine copy of the first edition, first printing, in a Fine dust jacket (light discoloration to the spine panel head, minor edge wear -- Publisher's embossment to the front panel's lower right corner), SIGNED BY NELLY SACHS on the title page; comprised of a Long Poem With Dialogues and a prose appendix, all by Nelly Sachs. Born in Berlin (1891), Nelly Sachs became an unofficial spokeswoman expressing the plight and grief of the Jews. Increasingly frightened by the Nazi's rise, she and her elderly mother fled Germany in 1940, one day before Nelly Sachs was scheduled to report to a concentration camp. Her flight was made possible by her friend and frequent correspondent Selma Lagerlof (herself the winner of the 1909 Nobel Prize in Literature) who persuaded the Swedish Royal family to intervene and arrange her release from Germany. Nelly Sachs won the 1966 Nobel Prize in Literature "for her outstanding lyrical and dramatic writing, which interprets Israel's destiny with touching strength" (sharing the prize with Shmuel Yosef Agnon). In presenting the Prize to Nelly Sachs, Anders Österling, Member of the Swedish Academy, stated "Nelly Sachs's writing is today the most intense artistic expression of the reaction of the Jewish spirit to suffering, and thus it can indeed be said to fulfill the humane purpose underlying Alfred Nobel's will." Of the work herein described, Österling stated: "Identifying herself totally with the faith and ritual mysticism of her people, Miss Sachs has created a world of imagery which does not shun the terrible truth of the extermination camps and the corpse factories, but which, at the same time, rises above all hatred of the persecutors, merely revealing a genuine sorrow at man's debasement. Her purely lyrical production is now collected under the title Fahrtins Staublose, 1961 (Journey to the Beyond), which comprises six interconnected works written during a twenty-year creative period of increasing concentration. There is also a series of dramatic poems, equally remarkable in their way, under the joint title Zeichen im Sand, 1961 (Signs in the Sand), the themes of which might have been taken from the dark treasure house of Hassidic mysticism, but which, here, have taken on new vigour and vital meaning." Signed copies of Nelly Sachs's works are not common to the market and copies of the book herein described are difficult to find. A Fine copy, SIGNED BY NELLY SACHS. QUITE SCARCE INDEED.

Fine condition. 1 vols. 11 x 8-1/2 inches. Connett's Corrected Typescript of "Woodcock Shooting". An informative, anecdotal article on the nuances of woodcock shooting, drawn from Connett's extensive experience, with numerous corrections and deletions by the author.

Might try Sports Illustrated or Field & Stream with it when you have given it the business". Upon receipt of the fair copy, Connett himself sent out the article to Field & Stream (his carbon, dated April 5, 1962, is included) offering the article, suggesting that it might be illustrated by the late Dr. Edward Burke and the English artist Roland Greene, and announcing that "This coming fall I am publishing a fine collection of grouse shooting stories by Burton Spiller, originally appearing in Field & Stream." From the Estate of Eugene V. Connett III, and evidently unpublished. [Bookseller: James Cummins Bookseller]

The Spy Who Loved Me London: Jonathan Cape, 1962. First edition. Octavo, original black cloth. Signed by "Best Wishes Roger Moore" on the title page. Small erasure mark to the front free endpaper, near fine in a near fine dust jacket with light wear to the spine crown. A very bright example of the tenth novel in the James Bond series. In light of the novel's immense presence as a classic thriller, it's amusing to learn that it was at first poorly received. The novel was banned in several countries due to its heightened sexual writing. The reception was so bad that Fleming wrote to Michael Howard of the Jonathan Cape publishing company to explain why he wrote the book: "I had become increasingly surprised to find my thrillers, which were designed for an adult audience, being read in schools, and that young people were making a hero out of James Bond ... So it crossed my mind to write a cautionary tale about Bond, to put the record straight in the minds particularly of younger readers ... the experiment has obviously gone very much awry" (Chancellor 2005). Upon Fleming's request, no reprints were made until after his death in 1964. [Bookseller: Raptis Rare Books, ABAA/ ILAB]

Le Fantome de L'Opera [The Phantom of the Opera] (Original French Film Poster) Gentilly, FR: Ateliers Lalande, 1962. Original French poster for the 1962 British film. The early 1960s take on Gaston Laroux's novel, done in Hammer horror fashion. A very accessible version and probably the least ponderous, little seen today but considered second only to the 1925 Lon Chaney version by cinephiles. The film was originally written for Cary Grant, who had a strange urge to do a horror film at the time, but eventually went to the great Herbert Lom. Lom parodied his own portrayal of the phantom 15 years later, as the mad Inspector Dreyfuss in "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" (1976). 43.5 x 61.5 inches. Rolled, on archival linen. Near Fine.

Unusually presentable and increasingly uncommon in such collectible condition. Time 100. No. 53, Modern Library 100 Best Novels. No. 1, 20th Century?'s Greatest Hits: 100 English-Language Books of Fiction. ¶ "A bizarre, three-legged race of a novel, Pale Fire is composed of a long narrative poem followed by a much longer set of footnotes written by an obsessive, increasingly deranged annotator. Charles Kinbote, a gay professor at a small New England college, may or may not be a noble-born expatriate from the exotic Eastern European principality of Zembla. He may or may not have stolen the manuscript he?'s annotating, which he is convinced is really all about him. He is unquestionably, unhealthily obsessed with John Shade, the placid, Robert Frost-like poet who composed the poem. Beyond that all bets are off, and the questions ramify without end. Pale Fire is the kind of novel you can happily get lost in: a house of mirrors with no exit, a labyrinth with no endpoint." (Time 100) N.B.

Five Miles to Midnight [Le couteau dans la plaie] (Oversize double weight press photograph of Anthony Perkins on the set in Paris circa 1962) N.p.: N.p., 1962. Vintage oversize borderless double weight press photograph of actor Anthony Perkins on the set of the 1962 film, "Five Miles to Midnight," a thriller directed by Anatole Litvak, shot in Paris. A quite candid, with the actor smiling at his dressing table. An exceptional candid shot that reminds of us of how time has honored the deep subversiveness of Perkins' performances. His seamless blend of boy-next-door charm with deep, unsolvable psychological problems balanced with low affect, was evidenced repeatedly in his 1960s work. Others of same include the cruelly overlooked French thriller "Le glaive et la balance" (André Cayatte, 1963), as well as "Psycho" (1960), "The Trial" (Orson Welles, 1962), and "Pretty Poison" (Noel Black, 1968). 7.75 x 11.75 inches. Near Fine. Grant, p. 143. [Bookseller: Royal Books, Inc.]

"Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid; Molecular Structure of Deoxypentose Nucleic Acids; Molecular Configuration in Sodium Thymonucleate."St. Albans: Fisher, Knight & Co., 1953. First edition, in the rare offprint form, of one of the most important scientific papers of the twentieth century, which "records the discovery of the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the main component of chromosomes and the material that transfers genetic characteristics in all life forms. Publication of this paper initiated the science of molecular biology. Forty years after Watson and Crick's discovery, so much of the basic understanding of medicine and disease has advanced to the molecular level that their paper may be considered the most significant single contribution to biology and medicine in the twentieth century" (<i>One Hundred Books Famous in Medicine</i>, p. 362). The double helix describing the molecular structure of DNA has not only reshaped biology, it has become a cultural icon, represented in sculpture, visual art, jewellery, and toys. In 1962, Watson, Crick, and Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material."<br/><br/> DNA was first isolated by the Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher in 1869, and over the succeeding years many researchers investigated its structure and function, with some arguing that it may be involved in genetic inheritance. By the early 1950s this had become one of the most important questions in biology. Maurice Wilkins of King's College London and his colleague Rosalind Franklin were both working on DNA, with Franklin producing X-ray diffraction images of its structure. Wilkins also introduced his friend Francis Crick to the subject, and Crick and his partner James Watson began their own investigation at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, focusing on building molecular models. After one failed attempt in which they postulated a triple-helix structure, they were banned by the Cavendish from spending any additional time on the subject. But a year later, after seeing new X-ray diffraction images taken by Franklin (notably the famous 'Photo 51', which is reproduced in the third paper), they resumed their work and soon announced that not only had they discovered the double-helix structure of DNA, but even more importantly, that "the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." <br/><br/> "Although recognized today as one of the seminal scientific papers of the twentieth century, Watson and Crick's original article in <i>Nature</i> was not frequently cited at first. Its true significance became apparent, and its circulation widened, only towards the end of the 1950s, when the structure of DNA they had proposed was shown to provide a mechanism for controlling protein synthesis, and when their conclusions were confirmed in the laboratory by Matthew Meselson, Arthur Kornberg, and others. <br/><br/> "Crick himself immediately understood the significance of his and Watson's discovery.. Three papers in a single offprint from Nature, Vol. 171, No. 4356, April 25, 1953. 8vo (210 x 140 mm), pp. 7 with two diagrams (including the double helix) and two illustrations from photographs.
