Sage, Dean
        The Ristigouche and its Salmon Fishing with a Chapter on Angling Literature by Dean Sage. Edited by Colonel Henry A. Siegel and Harry C. Marschalk, Jr
      Goshen, CT: The Angler's and Shooter's Press, 1973. Number 225 of 250 copies, initialled by the publisher. With hand-colored frontispiece entitled "Dean Sage's Favorite Flies" by Charles DeFeo (signed by him), an additional color plate after watercolor by Ogden M. Pleissner (signed by him), several black and white plates. 1 vols. 4to. Full brown polished calf, triple gilt fillet borders surrounding a gilt design of an osprey catching a salmon on upper cover, gilt spine, t.e.g. Fine copy, housed in a sturdy cloth slipcase. A book of almost legendary importance, recounting the author's adventures at Camp Harmony on the Restigouche River in New Brunswick, and drawing upon his long experience fishing the river. Dean Sage's contributions to angling literature are few in number but profoundly influential: "Ten Days' Sport on Salmon Rivers", published in the Atlantic in 1875, is a classic account. His library catalogue (2 vols.,1896, 1904) remains an important document in the history of angling bibliography and collecting. Sage's section on "The Atlantic Salmon," in Salmon and Trout (1902), is a synthesis of his own first hand knowledge as a fisherman and his assessment of the extensive literature. The Ristigouche and Its Salmon Fishing remains the work for which Sage is best known. A facsimile of the first edition, with additional material, including the signed color plates, an introduction by Arnold Gingrich, and "A Notice of Dean Sage" by Dewitt Sage.

Thompson, Hunter S Illustrated by Steadman, Ralph
        FEAR AND LOATHING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL '72 - SIGNED BY RALPH STEADMAN AND GEORGE S. MCGOVERN
      San Francisco: Straight Arrow Books, 1973. First Edition. New. First Printing. A Fine copy in a Near Fine jacket, with the original price of $7.95 intact. The book appears unread, and the second state jacket is a crisp example, showing absolutely none of the fading to the red and blue colored skull on the spine, a typical problem with this title. Other than a few areas of pinpoint rubbing to the corners and bottom edge, the jacket is as nice as we've ever seen. This copy has been signed by both the illustrator, Ralph Steadman and the subject, former Senator and U.S. Presidential candidate George S. McGovern. Steadman has signed via a specially decorated bookplate, which he affixed to this copy himself at an October 31, 2006 event, where he could not sign books due to a severe arthritis flare-up. McGovern signed the half-title page at a recent event. We presented a few copies of this book to him, and after a brief conversation about his friendship with Thompson, he mentioned to us that these were the only copies he could remember anyone bringing to one of his book signings. McGovern ran against, and lost to, Richard Nixon (an arch-nemesis of Thompson's), and Thompson was one of the few journalists who stuck with McGovern throughout his campaign, resulting in a lifelong friendship. While Thompson is almost universally revered for his book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, it is far from his best writing. Campaign Trail '72 remains one of the best pieces of political writing written during the 20th century, and along with Thompson's journalistic pieces in The Great Shark Hunt, stands as some of his very best work. A superior copy of book which is almost always found well-worn, signed by both the illustrator/jacket designer and the subject. Publicity material from both events are included with this book.

Bukowski, Charles
        ORIGINAL DRAWING FROM BUKOWSKI'S 'NOTES OF A DIRTY OLD MAN' COLUMN
      Los Angeles: Los Angeles Free Press, [1973]. Single sheet of 8.5 X 11 inch stock, with artwork rendered in pen and black ink. Hint of toning to extremities, else Fine. An original drawing by Charles Bukowski, which ran with his 'Notes of a Dirty Old Man' columns in the November 9-15, 1973 issue of the Los Angeles Free Press. The L.A. Free Press (or "Freep," as it was called) ran from 1964-1978, an important counter-culture publication which eventually had an enormous weekly circulation rate. Once L.A.'s 'Open City' newspaper folded in 1969, the Freep picked up Bukowski's 'Notes of a Dirty Old Man' column and ran with it until 1976. Bukowski's 'Notes' column was likely the single largest contributing factor to the spread of his literary fame, as well as his notoriety for being a hard-drinking, hard-living character. This drawing depicts a room scene where a large-breasted woman in garters and heels is sitting seductively on a chair and ottoman, while a man next to her nervously looks on; the drawing is appropriately captioned "Oh, my God!" The drawing came from the personal collection of L.A. poet-publisher Michael C. Ford, a former Freep staffer to whom Bukowski gave these to at the end of his tenure at the newspaper. While Bukowski did hundreds of drawings throughout his career, very few come to the market, and fewer still have seen publication as this one has. A wonderful drawing which succinctly channels the author's 'Dirty Old Man' personna.

      AVCO Embassy Pictures, London 1973 - Draft script for the 1974 film. From the collection of still photographer Bob Willoughby. Rainbow copy with blue, pink, and white leaves. Included are six vintage black-and-white single weight reference still photographs from the film.Bob Willoughby (1927-2009) studied with Saul Bass at the Kann Institute of Art in Los Angeles, worked as a photographer for magazines such as "Life," "Look," and "Harper's Bazaar," and as a set photographer for every major studio, documenting some of most important films of the era and creating intimate portraits of some of Hollywood's greatest celebrities. Willoughby moved his family to County Cork, Ireland in 1972, working on only a handful of films through the late 1970s and early 1980s (this was one of his final films), though he would continue to photograph, exhibit, and publish books for the remainder of his life.

Judith Farrow (Andrews) meets Feodor Sverdlov (Sharif), and together they visit all the beautiful spots on the island, but Judith's ties to the British government, and Feodor's to the Russian government cause problems for their romance.

Red Angel Press. Herman Melville
        Cetology. A Systematized exhibition of the whale in his broad genera: natural history excerpts from "Moby Dick" edited and illustrated by Ronald Keller
      New York: The Red Angel Press. 1973. Unique copy, bound by Michael Wilcox, from an issue of 100 copies, each signed and numbered by the printer / publisher / artist, Ronald Keller, all on straw-colored laid paper for text, 7 original woodcuts printed on straw-colored Nideggen paper. Page size: 9-5/8 x 10-3/4 inches; 48pp. Bound by Michael Wilcox: full morocco with teal, tan, black, blue and red onlays, gilt stamped with custom-made tool about 9/16 inch in shape of a whale with fins, scales, etc. the gilt whales starting at top of front panel and descending down across to bottom corner of back panel as if a pod of whales seen in the sea; the abstract colored onlays are outlined in gilt fillets, two red onlays on front panel hinting at whale's open mouth, with gilt filet "teeth," back panel with dolphin in blue and tan outlined in gilt fillets at top outer corner, double rules blocking front panel into 1/3 and 2/3 space and equal thirds on back panel, the whole forming a prismatic view of the sea and it's denizens; brown and white silk headbands, brown marbled endpapers within red turn-ins with gilt fillet rule, signed on back turn-in in gilt on black ground, "Wilcox / 1982" original brown paper wrappers with woodengraving in black of whale skeleton. Housed in a custom-made tan clamshell box with author and title stamped in gold tilt on back morocco, box a bit bowed at close. An extraordinary and lovely binding from the well-known master bookbinder, Michael Wilcox, commissioned by the late Dr. Thomas Evans, a noted Pennsylvania collector of fine bindings and livres de peintres. Michael Wilcox, who started his career as an English trade binder in 1955, moved to Canada in 1962. He has created some of the finest examples of "designer bindings" - mastering the technical skills of binding with the artistic vision necessary to make a truly beautiful book, interpreting and expressing the contents of a book though a new medium and a new voice. Long out of print from Red Angel Press, CETOLOGY is one of Ronald Keller's earliest titles (second?). He has hand set the text and printed it letterpress in Plantin and Times Roman. The seven original woodengravings, two of which are triple-gate folds, are surrounded by shaped texts which form the outline of the whale. Two woodengravings are printed in black and brown; the remaining woodcuts are printed in black and grey. The size of each mammal is in proportion to the others. A most ambitious book for a beginning press, it is quite successful, giving real weight to Melville's words, not to mention the whales themselves. Perfectly complemented by Michael Wilcox's complex, elegant binding, this is a most beautiful book. See an Image.
