Presage Paris Fashion Forecast No XXVI Vol A: Set of 3 Installments: Les Tissés, Jerseys Façonnés Dentelles, and Les Lainages Liechtenstein: Egaserp Établissements, 1974. Installments in uniformly near fine condition in printed cloth boards.. First Editions. Quartos. Set of 3 installments of volume A, issue number XXVI, of Presage Paris Fashion Forecast, devoted to fashion trends for the spring and summer seasons of 1976. A leading quarterly in haute couture from 1961 through 1987, Presage seamlessly combined art, fashion, and design in colorful issues on current trends, providing an alternative to the stark commercial fabric catalogues of the day. Created in Paris and marketed to an American audience, each issue sought to predict the season's styles through a selection of fabric swatches, photo illustrations, patterns, and fashion design sketches for men, women, and children. The staggering subscription fee of $750 abetted the journal's lavish production, which incorporated unusual materials such as foil, lace, styrofoam, and cloth, among other media, into its variously sparse, Pop, and postmodern designs. Under the leadership of designer Rosita Fanto, who directed the journal after its third issue, Presage also acted as a working tool for members of the specialized fashion industries; the typical volume was divided into six sections, each devoted to a distinct facet of the business and published under the titles Les Coloris (Color), Les Lainages (Wool), Les Tissés (Woven), Jersey Façonnes Dentelles (Jersey Brocade Lace), Les Imprimés (Print), and Sketch Future (Future Sketch). A noteworthy experiment in graphic design and book arts and important document of the evolution of late twentieth century fashion, the quarterly belongs to several museum and library collections, including the Yale University Library, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Centre Pompidou. The Les Tissés installment focuses on woven fashions and features 110 fabric swatches and 31 fashion design sketches, presented against colored prints. The Jerseys Façonnés Dentelles installment highlights jersey, brocade, and lace fashions and includes 201 fabric swatches, 15 color threads, 23 design prints, and 38 fashion design sketches. The Les Lainages installment presents wool-based fashions and contains 115 fabric swatches, 25 fashion design sketches, and 10 design prints for both men and women. [Bookseller: Harper's Books, Inc.]

Tickets For A Prayer Wheel: Poems Columbia: :: University of Missouri Press,, 1974. 0826201563. A Near Fine copy with a previous owner name to the front pastedown underneath the jacket flapin a Fine bright dust jacket. Dillard is best known for her prose narrative "Pilgrim of Tinker Creek" that explored abstract and sensory phenomena, the role of the artist in society and the creative process. The poems gathered in Tickets for a Prayer Wheel show us that the concerns of the author have not changed since she was in her twenties. Hers is a poetry of fact — of science and nature, eternity and time, and how we know what we know. Often commended for their precise imagery, these poems speak of the love between people, storytelling and poetry?'s form. This is Dillard's rare First Book.. [Bookseller: Gregor Rare Books]

[Manuscript Song]: Mary Ellin Barrett One partially printed bi-folium (one leaf folded to make four pages). The single fold is neatly reinforced with tape, else very good or better. Printed with staves, music has been filled in with pencil on two facing pages, and Berlin has captioned the song, filled in the lyrics (intended for his granddaughter, Mary Ellin Barrett of the title), and has Inscribed it at the bottom of the left-hand page: "For Mary Ellin - With love from Grandpa. 1974." Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Mary Ellin Barrett, and a photocopy of a newspaper article about Barrett and her relationship with her grandfather. Berlin famously could not write or read music, so we cannot confirm in whose hand the music is written, however, the lyrics are clearly in Berlin's hand. .

It's Always We Rambled. An Essay on Rodeo NY: Frank Hallman. 1974. Inscribed by McMurtry to a noted Texas bookman: "This is an unfortunate mistake of mine. I suspect the limitation is erroneous./ Larry McMurtry." McMurtry doesn't indicate in which direction he believes the limitation statement errs, and this is the only time we have heard such a suggestion about this title. The stated limitation is 300 copies, each signed by the author, and while it can be assumed that like most limited editions there may have been a small print overrun to protect against damaged copies, etc., we have not heard of this book having had a significantly different number of copies than the limitation, and the fact that they were numbered seems to argue against the actual number and the limitation being very different.

Viaje a Cuba [México: Fondo de Cultura Económica 1974 - First Edition. Small quarto. Edition of 20,000 copies; despite the large limitation no copies are currently for sale on the public databases, nor have I seen the book before. Issued as part of the Testimonios del Fondo series, and featuring the unique design of Marcos Kurtycz, who was the series editor, and who took most of the photographs in this volume himself. Kurtycz framed his images in rounded squares and rectangles, with no two pages similar. He also eschewed yellow: the entire publication is printed in cyan and magenta. While conceptual artists have tried to make their books look like cheap tourist guides, there are fewer examples of cheap tourist guides rising to this level of design sophistication, if not exactly conceptual art. (The Latin American Photobook, 242-243). A few creases to the covers; close to near fine in photo-illustrated wrappers. [Attributes: First Edition] [Bookseller: Harper's Books, ABAA]
