Near Fine; fine but for toning at cover perimeter. See scan. This is, however, an "error" copy, misprinted such that it starts at the front and the back - both with the front cover, inverted (relative to each other); from each cover the pages then proceed until they meet, which is after page 16 in one direction and after page 8 in the other. Prices and of course thorough bibliographic descriptions, as always, but the number of intended lots is not determinable here because of the misprinting. Certainly, a scarcity within the bibliographic genre. L-G1.

Paperback. Condition: New. Fostering a transatlantic renaissance to salvage the Western allianceIs the Western alliance, which brought together the United States and Europe after World War II, in an inevitable state of decline, and if so, can anything be done to repair it? There seems little doubt that fragmentation of the Western alliance was under way even before Donald Trump's unorthodox policy making broadened the schism. Opinions differ as to the next step, however, with some taking the current divisions as a given and advocating the creation of a new group of like-minded democracies that would exclude the United States, while others seek to exploit the rift in hopes of furthering their own nationalistic ambitions for a post liberal world.The authors outline a transatlantic renaissance, in which U.S. and European leaders would work together to craft a new Atlantic Charter that would restore the liberal objectives that animated the Western alliance for more than seven decades. Modernizing institutional relationships across the Atlantic should help both the United States and Europe address common challenges jointly and improve burden sharing. The world needs a vibrant and energetic West to protect fundamental values from illiberal forces, both internal and external.

publisher's cloth. 8vo. publisher's cloth. ix, 135, (4) pages. Edited by Cynthia Davis Buffington. Limited to 250 numbered copies. As-new condition. Printing in North America began not in 1640 in Massachusetts, but in 1539, in Mexico, at a point in printing history when technique, typography, and aesthetic norms were widely first-rate. The European printers who came to the New World to produce the "incunables" and other "early printed" works of Mexico and Peru maintained the high standards of their homelands in a degree that astonishes those whoe understanding of early American printing has been based purely on familiarity with the works produced a hundred and more years later in what is now the U.S. Thirty-nine Books and Broadsides describes works that well represent the earliest Mexican printing, the rarities including 14 New World incunabula, 9 the only known surviving copies (3 described for the first time), several second known and several more earliest known copies, and a number of works with woodcut illustrations - all from a major private collection. All entries are illustrated and provide exact collations; notably, the bibliography provides the very first accurate system of description for 16-century New World broadsides. Each item fully described bibliographicaly and illustrated as well. From the reference library of Philadelphia Rare Books & Manuscripts with their bookplate included.
