DERRIDA, Jacques
        De la grammatologie
      Paris: Éditions de Minuit,, 1967. Octavo. Original cream card wrappers printed in black and blue. With the original glassine jacket. Glassine and contents very faintly toned. An excellent copy. First edition, first impression. Presentation copy inscribed by the author to philosopher, writer and translator Roger Munier, "Pour Roger Munier, en signe de sympathie et de complicité". Munier's many translations include Octavio Paz, Roberto Juarroz and Heidegger, with whom he forged a lasting friendship when he stayed in the Black Forest to perfect his German in 1949. Munier later introduced Heidegger to René Char. His obituary in Le Monde described him as a passionate writer and thinker and a mystic, whose favourite mode of expression was the "fragment". His main influence, apart from Heidegger, was Meister Eckhart. Loosely inserted is a typed copy of a two-page letter Munier sent to Derrida in October 1967 in which he thanks him for having sent him the present copy and tells of the uttermost admiration he felt reading De la grammatologie. In this lengthy letter Munier discusses the influence of Heidegger on neo-positivist thought and describes Derrida as the most original and influential thinker of the time. A year later Derrida and Munier both contributed to L'Endurance de la Pensée, a book of collected writings on Jean Beaufret.

Coleman Hawkins
        Jazz At The Philharmonic, Original Concert Tour Program, final North American Tour 1967, Signed By Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims & Clark Terry
      - Jazz At The Philharmonic, Original Concert Tour Program, final North American Tour 1967. SIGNED in ink at their respective b&w photographs, by saxophone greats Coleman Hawkins and Zoot Sims and trumpet and flugelhorn master, Clark Terry. Letter of provenance laid in from previous owner who acquired the autographs in Montreal, Quebec, one of several Canadian stops on the tour; the Hawk's signature is particularly significant in that the great saxophonist was in failing health at this time, having stopped recording in 1966, and his performances were very curtailed after this tour, until his death in 1969. A handsome large format (14" by 11") concert program, staple bound wraps, original cover art by David Stone Martin, unpaginated (24 pp, plus wraps), lavishly illustrated with b&w photos. Touch of rubbing to front wrap and mild creasing to the corners and spine, rear wrap is lightly soiled with faint pen strike , else very good+, tightly bound, clean and unmarked. The autographs are fine, clean, without loss or fading. Although impresario Norman Granz had officially ended the JATP national tours with his eighteenth in 1957, a decade later he mounted a final farewell tour of North America which featured the Duke Ellington Orchestra with Ella Fitzgerald as vocalist, as well as other jazz luminaries long associated with Granz, including Oscar Peterson and Benny Carter. After the tour Granz was quoted as saying "I'll never do that again", although he did intermittently continue the tradition, reprising JATP at Monterey in 1971, as well as at the Montreux Jazz Festival in the 70's and with final concerts held in Tokyo in 1983, marking the 30th anniversary of the first time JATP had played there. A highly collectible vintage concert program, an historic tour, with the signatures of three jazz luminaries. J1542 [Attributes: Signed Copy]

      "Rare Autograph Letter Signed ?Ernest H. Shepard,? 3 pages, 6.25? x 7?, front and verso. To Miss Evelyn B. Byrne. Lodsworth, [England], September 6, 1967. Accompanied by the original airmail envelope hand addressed by Shepard to ?Miss E.B. Byrne Ph.D. / 2192 Morris Avenue / Bronx 53 / New York / U.S.A.? Slit open at top. Fine condition.

A color photocopy of Shepard?s reply to Byrne, dated, October 26, 1967, is present as is a color photocopy of the typescript of this September 6th letter which she had sent him, upon which he wrote a 150+ word autobiography including the fact that he his illustrated A.A. Milne?s ?Winnie the Pooh? in 1924. This September 6, 1967, letter, In full, ?Thank you for your letter. I will do my best to answer your questions. When I was 12 years old my Father read Dickens to us ?" my sister, brother and myself ?" I was the youngest. We had David Copperfield, Martin Chuzzlewhit, Dombey & Son, The Old Curiosity Shop and, of course, Pickwick Papers. I think half of my enjoyment of these books came from my father?s reading ?" Having had experience as an actor he not only read beautifully but also dramatized the parts. For my own reading I had several of Henty?s books and I read R.L. Stevenson when I was 16 to 17. A book that was a great stand by was called ?The World of Adventure? published by Cassells (England) I think about 1890. ?It was given to me when I was 12 and proved to be a mine of information, enjoyment & excitement. Every story was true and well illustrated ?" Shipwrecks and Fires Adventures in the Alps, avalanches polar expeditions, Wild West with Buffalo Bill, battles in India and Zulu land, ballooning, Inventions Mine Explosions ?" For lighter reading I had ?Alice in Wonderland? of which I have never tired, and Randolph Caldecott?s illustrated rhymes ?" at the age of 87, I still enjoy these. ?Since I could hold a pencil I have always drawn pictures mostly of people and was encouraged by both my parents to do so. I do not know much about American writers. I have limited time for serious reading as I still work many hours a day and enjoy it. I think your students may be interested to know that I have written and illustrated two autobiographies. One ?Drawn from Memory? about my childhood, from age 7 to 8, was published by Lippincott in 1957. The other ?Drawn from Life,? published, Dutton, 1959, about my school days, aged 12 to 16, art student, aged 17 to 21. Then my early struggles to earn a living and then my marriage at the age of 24. I hope some of all this will be of interest to your students. Yours Sincerely Ernest H. Shepard.?"

[Geoffrey] Bridson, worked until 1969 producing over 800 programs including The Third Programme, which was aimed at "high brow" audiences and aimed to promote "something fundamental to our civilization." .

JAGGER, Mick.
        Contract for "The Green Knight" 5th December 1967.
      1967 - One contract of 6 pages, typescript on thin typing paper 32.5 x 20 cm stapled to red card backing, signed by Mick Jagger, Christopher Gibbs and Nigel Lesmoir Gordon, plus Marianne Faithfull, Jagger's then girlfriend, as witness; with a typescript film treatment of 16 pages stapled together at top left, 29 x 22 cm, with manuscript annotations; a little chipping to folds, a little browning, very good. This unique pair of documents records a highly ambitious project that sadly never came to fruition. As Marianne Faithfull recalls in Faithfull: An Autobiography (2000): "Mick began taking acting lessons .Then there was THE MAN WHO SHOT MICK JAGGER and a whole slew of hippie projects. Christopher Gibbs and Nigel Gordon had written a script based on the mystical Middle English romance GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT. Mick was going to play the Green Knight - Mick and Keith do the Middle Ages!" (pp. 149-50). Not only was Jagger going to star, this was also likely to be his debut as a producer. The contract here is between Jagger and Christopher Gibbs, his interior designer, and Nigel Gordon, a film editor working for the producer David Cammell, to produce a 25 page treatment of the legend of Sir Gawain to be called provisionally, The Green Knight. The two writers were to begin work on Christmas Day 1967 and deliver the treatment by 1st May 1968. We cannot be sure when the pair delivered their work, but it was nine pages short and had transformed from The Green Knight into The story of Venus and the quest for Arthur's kingdom, a tale set initially in a Welsh gold mine in 1700 and New York in 1968 before settling on an Arthurian England of knights, mystical ladies and an improbable red floating sphere. The project never went any further than this, but it is a fascinating snapshot of the projects that Jagger, the Rolling Stones and the counter-culture in general were beginning to get involved in as the 1960s progressed and their ambitions grew. Neither was this the end of the road for Gibbs and Gordon as film collaborators with Jagger - Gibbs was employed as Consultant Designer on Jagger's breakthrough film Performance, while Gordon's boss David Cammell, the brother of the movie's director Donald Cammell, was a co-producer.

Lear, William Bill P.
        TYPED LETTER - Signed
      Santa Ana, California 1967 - Typed letter signed "Wm P Lear" in black ink. Letter is dated August 7, 1967, is on company letterhead and measures 8.5" X 11.0" in size. It has normal mailing folds and is in fine condition. Letter states 'Dear Mr. Firca / Congratulations on your / interesting hobby of collecting autographs. I hope you will be / successful in amassing a large and varied collection that will be ' a source of satisfaction and pleasure for you. / Very truly yours, / (signed) Wm P Lear / Wm. P. Lear, Sr. / President". William P. Lear, (born June 26, 1902, Hannibal, Mo., U.S.¿died May 14, 1978, Reno, Nev.), self-taught American electrical engineer and industrialist whose Lear Jet Corporation was the first mass-manufacturer of business jet aircraft in the world. Lear also developed the automobile radio, the eight-track stereo tape player for automobiles, and the miniature automatic pilot for aircraft. The child of immigrant parents and a broken home, Lear said that at the age of 12 he had worked out a blueprint of his life, based upon profiting by inventing what people wanted. He held some 150 patents at his death. After completing eighth grade, Lear quit school to become a mechanic and at the age of 16 joined the navy, lying about his age. During World War I, Lear studied radio and after his discharge designed the first practicable auto radio. Failing to secure the financial backing to produce the radio himself, Lear sold the radio to the Motorola Company in 1924. In 1934 he designed a universal radio amplifier (i.e., one that would work with any radio.) The Radio Corporation of America purchased the plans, giving Lear the capital he needed to expand his operations. He founded the Lear Avia Corporation in 1934 to make radio and navigational devices for aircraft. In 1939 he founded Lear, Inc. By 1939 more than half the private airplanes in the United States were using Lear radio and navigational equipment. In World War II, the company manufactured cowl-flap motors and other precision devices for Allied aircraft. After World War II, Lear, Inc. introduced a new, miniaturized autopilot that could be used on small fighter aircraft. Between 1950 and 1962 the sales of Lear, Inc., rose to $90,000,000. New plants were added in the Midwest and on both coasts, and the company embarked on the manufacture of stereophonic sound systems and miniature communications satellites. Lear himself wanted to expand into low-priced, small jet aircraft for businessmen. When his board of directors would not approve the expenditure, Lear sold his share of the company and formed Lear Jet, Inc., Wichita, Kan., which produced its first compact jet in 1963. The new company¿s jets became among the world¿s most popular private jet aircraft. Lear sold his interest in the corporation in 1967 and formed Lear Motors Corporation (1967¿69) to produce a steam car. [Attributes: Signed Copy]
