Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1948. The Fall, 1948 issue of Fate Magazine (Volume 1, Number 3) in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. This Fall 1948 issue - the third issue ever - bears one of the handful of truly iconic Fate covers, that being "The Red River Witch" (see scan). 12mo, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 128 pp. A Near Fine copy - and this one is as near fine as near fine gets, with just touch micro-edgewear and an almost indiscernible degree of color fade as you look toward the spine. See scans. Standard toning to the interior newsprint-grade pages, but these are supple, clean and and unchipped. Highest Grade, particularly for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. This issue features articles on the memorable Red River Witch, Charles Fort, a Kenneth Arnold reprise on phantom lights in Nevada, The Valley of Never-Come-Back, America's White Sunworshippers (A Thor Heyerdahl piece), The Flying Jigsaw Puzzle, America's Most Famous Ghost Story, The Temple Girls of India, The Black Art, Two Girls, One Body, The Devil, ESP events and of course much, much else, including the standard Departments, always engrossing in themselves. Interior art and photography is largely uncredited. A piece of paranormal history, and an example of a unique branch of Americana, in very highly collectible condition. Please see scans. l50n.

A synopsis of adventive species of Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) in Canada is provided. Of the over 1654 rove beetle species recorded from Canada, 156 species in 76 genera and 13 subfamilies are reported as adventive, constituting about 9.4% of the fauna. The majority of adventive species belong to two subfamilies, Staphylininae (51 species) and Aleocharinae (49), and the genera with the most species are Philonthus (16), Atheta (8), Aleochara (7) and Quedius (7). All 156 adventive species are reviewed, including diagnostic features (supported by 156 colour habitus photos and 230 black and white images of diagnostic characters), native range, detailed distribution in Canada (with 151 distribution maps), general distribution in the USA, early Canadian and North American records and habitat information. New jurisdictional records are Atheta longicornis (Gravenhorst) from Alberta, Philonthus sanguinolentus (Gravenhorst) from eastern Canada (Ontario) and Xantholinus longiventris Heer from Canada (British Columbia). 360 pp., 386 figs, 151 distribution maps, hardcover gr. 8 [17 x 24 cm].

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Approximately eighty typed and hand written letters relating to the estate settlement of the Canadian born artist Donald Shaw MacLaughlan (1876-1938) dating from 1938 to 1940. Also includes nine typed and hand written personal letters from the artist addressed to his friend the artist Herman A. Webster (1878-1970). All those letters are signed MacLaughlan. The estate letters includes the initial obituary from the New York Herald attached to the original draft letter announcement which Herman A. Webster wrote. There is a letter from the British Consulate in Marrakesh to Herman A. Webster detailing MacLaughlans illness, passing and burial at the European Cemetery in Marrakesh, Morocco. The archive includes a number of letters from Raymond Harper of the at the time well known law firm Harper, Szlapka & Harper. His letters are initially addressed in the formal, but Ray Harper must have struck up a friendship with Herman A. Webster because later letters are addressed 'Dear Webbie'. It also includes the original sketch proposal of MacLaughlan's tombstone with the original artist pallet design, presumably by Herman A. Webster. Much of the archive deals with the settlements between family members, galleries, appraisals and transportation of MacLaughlan's personal effects including engravings and art work back to the US and Canada. Herman A. Webster traveled to Paris in 1904 where he enrolled at the Académie Julian and joined the studio of Jean-Paul Laurens (18381921), the Paris academician and professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. It was there that Webster met Donald Shaw MacLaughlan (1876 1938), a Canadian artist already established as a significant presence in the Paris art scene. MacLaughlan was a practiced printmaker of considerable skill, as well as a teacher, and it was he who first taught Webster the craft of etching. [Wikipedia]. A truly unique historical archive in very good condition that is probably best inspected in person. Please inquire for more details.

Dimensions (à vue) : 273 x 194 mm + passe-partout. Jolie composition sur vergé mince gravée à l'eau-forte sur papier bleuté, justifiée 20/25 et signée par l'artiste à la mine de plomb en marge inférieure. Elle est légendée ''Sur la route du Perrier (Vendée)''. Herman Armour Webster naquit à New York en 1878 et vint à Paris dès 1900 s'inscrivant à l'Académie Jullian où il reçut les leçons de J. P. Laurens. E. Bejot et Bracquemond l'initièrent à la gravure. Il connut Mucha et travailla la gravure avec Mac Laughlan. Grand voyageur, il a partout gravé des monuments, coins de rues et paysages [.].''. (in Bénzit, lequel consacre une longue notice à cet artiste). ''Sa première planche, datée de 1905, laisse présager son attrait, jamais démenti, pour le paysage, tant urbain que rural. C'est Bracquemond qui lui apprit toute la complexité du métier de graveur, sans grand mal, puisque Webster se révèle posséder un don naturel pour le dessin. Si Méryon et Whistler ont marqué de leur influence quelques oeuvres du début, l'artiste n'en possède pas moins déjà sa propre personnalité lorsqu'il se plaît à fixer les vieux quartiers de Paris, voués très rapidement à la démolition, tel un historien amoureux de la ville et du petit peuple. Plus tard, l'artiste acquiert une maîtrise parfaite, une habileté et une précision qui, par honnêteté d'esprit, lui font redouter la facilité causée par le talent. [.]''. (in Bailly-Herzberg). ''Planches d'une grande qualité d'exécution et se recommandant par un réel sens du pittoresque''. (in Delteil). Delteil II, Manuel de l'amateur d'estampes, p. 541 - Bailly-Herzberg, Dictionnaire de l'estampe en France, p. 343 - Bénézit X, Dictionnaire des peintres, p. 663. Discrètes plissures affectant l'épreuve. Du reste, très belle condition.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. H.H. Holmes was a doctor, real estate speculator, pharmacist, bigamist, swindler, and America's first media superstar serial killer. As he awaited trial, he put out a series of autobiographical documents, press releases, and interviews that revealed his sociopathic tendencies--and lied about his crimes. The infamous killer of the Chicago World's Fair published a memoir and a confession, both of which conceal more than they reveal of the truth. Then he gave a speech at his hanging that recanted everything. This series of documents is edited into a seamless narrative with newspaper clippings that shows the dark but charming side of a man who had nine confirmed kills and who claimed to have killed 27. This edition ends with a description by Matt Lake, author of Weird Pennsylvania, of the strange secret burial of the hanged Holmes, and recent exhumation that calls into question everything we thought we knew about Holmes's last days.
