Book
2 vols, comprising the red vinyl bound issued for brigade teams and the printed wrappers bound issued for high-ranking officers, first editions; 16mo (c.140 x 105 mm); printed in Chinese, each with half-title in red, title-page in red & green, photographic portrait of Chairman Mao, facsimile of Lin Biao's calligraphic endorsement of Mao's writings in the uncorrected state with the superfluous mark, vinyl issue with ink note in English and Chinese to front free endpaper, wrappers issue with official stamp to title and some contemporary underlining; vinyl issue with title and star incised to upper cover, over white stiff wrappers; wrappers issue upper cover with title printed in black on red rectangle and with imprint to foot, further official stamp and contemporary inscription also to upper cover, with some marking to the lower cover and a little edge wear; each [viii], 250pp. The two highly collectable first issues of the first edition of Chairman Mao's 'Little Red Book', preceded only by a special issue presented to senior party members. By the time of the Cultural Revolution (August 1966), the red vinyl covers had become the standard edition, used consistently and famously throughout Mao's propaganda, with the more fragile paper wrappers no longer produced. Each volume has a reproduced calligraphic endorsement by Lin Biao, a decorated general, leader of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and, after 1970, Mao's heir apparent.which inevitably meant he did not long after die in a mysterious accident, accused of being involved in an assassination plot against Mao. As a result of this the endorsement leaf was excised in most copies subsequently. The leaf in both volumes here has an error in one of the characters, an issue point that was spotted quickly and changed in August 1965.

First Edition
First edition of Quotations from Chairman Mao. Duodecimo, in the original iconic red vinyl, title to front cover in blind, frontispiece portrait of Chairman Mao. With the textual error on pp. 82/83 corrected and Lin Biao's calligraphic endorsement leaf after the frontispiece tipped in from a later printing. In 1972, an edict was issued that Lin's name was to be obliterated from history, following disclosures that he had plotted a coup and planned to assassinate Mao; consequently, "many surviving copies in the Chinese language have that page legitimately torn away, mutilated or censored" (Schiller, p. 36). In near fine condition. Housed in a custom red slipcase. Printed for the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, the first edition of Mao's Quotations, was issued in two states and bindings: the uncorrected first state text in red vinyl plastic, and the corrected second state in paper wrappers. The corrected copies, issued in wrappers and intended for high-ranking officers, were released first; the uncorrected copies, issued in red vinyl and for use by brigade teams, were released shortly afterwards, as the sturdier binding took longer to manufacture. By the start of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, the red vinyl design had become symbolic of Mao's slogan "The East is Red", and the paper wrappers were discontinued. The year 1966 also "signaled the start of a major translation and publication project when the Little Red Book was issued in over 50 different languages of countries where Socialism might triumph" (Schiller, p. 55). The book was printed in large quantities until Mao's death in 1976; by the late 1970s, however, a change of government meant further circulation of the book was discouraged, with millions of copies were collected and destroyed. His Little Red Book, however, sometimes referred to as the "Chinese Bible", "forms a brilliant compilation that is still readable and admired today for its political theories and strategies" (ibid., p. 57).

First Edition
Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 250 pp. First edition. Printed wraps; text in Chinese, with 30 chapters. The endorsement leaf by Lin Baio has been excised, as is common in many copies. In promoting the Little Red Book, Biao rose to prominence in Mao's inner circle, with Biao becoming seen as Mao's successor. However, when unsubstantiated rumors surfaced that Biao was plotting to assassinate Mao, Biao was killed and subsequently the endorsement leaf was excised from remaining copies. Very Good or better, with wear at foot of spine, toning and light foxing, occasional corner crease to pages. Following the Bible, this is the most-printed text world-wide.

12 rubber figures measuring approx. 12x11 to 14x15cm., some with Chinese inscriptions to pedestal. General dust-soiling, a few uniformly darkened or slightly discolored, else a Very Good, sound collection. Each figure is unique from the others, whether in size or inscription. Includes quite an uncommon bust of Mao (the only we've seen) in which he is wearing civilian clothes rather than his usual military attire. Rubber Maos were produced quite prodigiously during the Cultural Revolution as a cheap alternative to a glass or plaster version.

THE FIRST ENGLISH EDITION OF THE . . FIRST "LITTLE RED BOOK" ISSUED AND USED BY RED GUARDS . . . DURING THE WENHUA DA GEMING [CULTURAL REVOLUTION] . . . "MAO ZHUXI YU LU:" "QUOTATIONS FROM CHAIRMAN MAO" . . . THE MOST FAMOUS AND IMPORTANT OF THE "LITTLE RED BOOKS" . . . WITH THE VERY RARE LIN BIAO'S SLOGAN & FOREWORD . . * With a the most famous of all by LIN Biao slogans, December 16, 1966, written in his Chinese calligraphy frontispiece, reading: . "READ CHAIRMAN MAO'S WRITINGS, LISTEN TO CHAIRMAN MAO'S WORDS, AND FOLLOW CHAIRMAN MAO'S INSTRUCTIONS LIN Biao" . When LIN went out of favor with Mao, the Hong Wei Bing [Red Guards] either plucked out Lin's writings & slogans or defaced them. Therefore copies complete with all of Lin's writings remain exceptionally RARE and seldom found. Our copies are described when having Lin's writings intact. . With the Chinese as the last page, dated 1966, stating first edition, first printing. . *** This title was published in English, to inspire revolution throughout the world. . Bound in the original publisher's red vinyl covers with blind-stamped titles. . "RETURN/REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE BY THE PUBLISHERS: At the last page is a small label in Chinese stating this book will be replaces if it has any defects. This is also one of the key 'points' found in the First Edition, First Printing of the English language. Not all copies had this as they were often loosely inserted inside of the back vinyl cover small pocket for that purpose. others have been tipped in to prevent against loss. Issued with the English language . *** THE FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING: . The Beijing, 1966 edition of this title came with a red vinyl cover with embossed title in English: QUOTATIONS FROM CHAIRMAN MAO TSE TUNG. Our copy does not have any gold on this title, but we believe it came exactly this way. Later editions had color photos of Mao on the cover, some with gilt title lettering. . This FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING came with the LIN Biao slogan [shown above] as a frontispiece in Chinese, balance of the text is in English. . With sepia-tone Mao frontispiece photo. . This edition should not be confused with other, later editions which have varying covers. . With a red title and green imprint on the title page; with a green double-rule line outline. . *** With a stiff card title page printed in red, with green double-rule outline. With sepia-tone Mao frontispiece photo. . *** USE BY HONG WEI BING: This book was designed to be kept in the pocket, or carried in the Xiao Hong Bao [small red cloth shoulder bag] with the likeness of Mao and loyalty slogans, carried and used by the Hone Wei Bing [Red Guards] during the WENHUA DA GEMING [CULTURAL REVOLUTION]. . This kind of "LITTLE RED BOOK" was carried by Hong Wei Bing to mass rallies in Tiananmen Square, when they were greeted by Chairman Mao and endorsed by Marshall LIN Biao. . Many of the young HONG WEI BING had a tiny red cotton shoulder bags used to carry the book. These had yellow characters stenciled on it with the slogan "MAO ZHU XI MAN SUI" ["Long Live Chairman Mao"], and several others regarding Zhong [loyalty] and several other variants. . Please inquire with us, we have the rare originals in stock! . *** LIN BIAO CONNECTION: Not all other editions came with or had the LIN slogan pulled by official order. . It is believed that most of these books could have contained a hand calligraphic slogan by LIN Biao just after the Mao frontispiece saying: . "Du Mao zhu xi de shu, Ting Mao zhu xi de hua, Zhao Mao zhu xi de zhi shì ban shi, Zuo Mao zhu xi de hao zhan shì." ["Study Chairman Mao's Writings, Follow his teachings and act according to his instructions"]. This is found in may others issued from 1966 onwards, until 1971. . It was common after 1971 when LIN was declared a traitor to the party and expelled, his writings, likeness and all evidence of his words and slogans were officially expunged from the record. It was common during that time to pull out any slogans or writings by LIN from books or paste over a blank cover paper. We do not see any evidence of this in this book. It is entirely possible his slogan or writings we re not included from the date of publishing more as an oversight than by design. His writings or slogans which have been clearly expunged are easy to discern. . In the [1969] edition there is a 3 page introduction by LIN Biao, dated: "December 16, 1966," just after the mass rally in Tiananmen square, Beijing, where the Cultural Revolution and the Red Guards were officially greeted and sanctioned by Chairman Mao and endorsed by Marshal LIN Biao. This was an historic day in confirming the beginning of the Cultural Revolution and releasing the RED GUARDS to carry out the chaotic results of the brutal action against intellectuals, teachers, landlords, capitalists & so many others. . *** PER WIKIPEDIA: "Mao Zhuxi Yulu is a book of statements from speeches and writings by Mao Zedong, the former Chairman of the Communist Party of China, published from 1964 to about 1976 and widely distributed during the Cultural Revolution. . The most popular versions were printed in small sizes that could be easily carried and were bound in bright red covers, becoming commonly known internationally as the "Little Red Book." See below. . *** SOCIAL IMPACT: . During the 1960s, the book was the single most visible icon in mainland China, even more visible than the image of the Chairman himself. In posters and pictures created by CPC's propaganda artists, nearly every painted character, whether smiling or looking determined, was seen with a copy of the book in his or her hand.[citation needed] After the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976 and the rise of Deng Xiaoping in.
