First Edition / First Printing of this puzzle format. +++ Specs: 6.5 by 8 inches [Complete with 9 pieces and 2 box components]. Gertrude Crampton and Tibor Gergely's 'Tootle' is one of the 'Big Three' original Little Golden Books, often cited as one of the all-time bestselling children's books. The character served as a gentle parable for the 'organization man' era, teaching children the importance of staying on the tracks and following the rules of the community. While the books are ubiquitous, the 1946 'Picture Puzzle' adaptation is seldom seen in its original packaging. Produced by Whitman for Simon and Schuster, these puzzles were designed for heavy use by toddlers, making complete examples with the original box highly desirable for collectors of Golden Books and mid-century toy ephemera. SUBJECTS: Trains, Adventure, Problem-Solving, Early Childhood Development, Children's Puzzle, Educational Toy, Mid-Century Americana.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. It Catches My Heart in Its Hands was produced by Jon and Louise Webb, founders of LouJon Press. It was printed on an old sheet-fed press and bound in their tiny apartment in New Orleans in 1963. Unlike the Bukowski chapbooks that came before, this was a true book and an incredible book at that. This incredibly beautiful book is every bit a piece of art as the poetry itself. It was hand-printed on thick paper stock of various colors, dispersed with tissues and hand-bound with a cork-lined cover. The detail, the printing methods, the craftsmanship, and the pure insanity it took to create the book was as unparalleled then and as it is today What actually makes this copy rare is the white, heavy stock page on which Bukowski has added a quotation. This page is absent in "regular" copies of the book. Instead, on the "regular" copies, Bukowski's signature and date appears on the first blank page, which is purple. Why Jon Webb stopped sending Bukowski the white pages for signing is unknown. Perhaps he couldn't afford the white paper stock for all copies and started sending him the purple pages to sign. On the white page on this copy, Bukowski has written: WEAK MEN ARGUE IN CROWDS; STRONG ME CRY IN THE DARK. Charles Bukowski 4-7-63 In this copy, Bukowski has also added his signature with another quotation on the purple page where just the signature and date would normally appear. This is dated 12-15-63, so Bukowski wrote this much later than the white page. At some point, the white and purple pages were inserted into the copy together: THE POETS WOULD BE MUCH WORSE THAN THEY ARE ONLY IT DOESN'T PAY ENOUGH. This copy has the orange/red color block over the title and the turquoise lines on the cork cover, but other colors were used on these copies as well. The wrap-around jacket underneath the cork is on yellow paper (some are white). I've heard from more than one person that the ones with the turquoise lines are also rarer, but that's not the case in my experience, so don't buy a copy just for that. This copy also comes with the uncommon letterpress sheet that is a facsimile of the letter he sent to the Webbs upon receiving the first copy of the book on November 23, 1963. The sheet measures 10.5" x 8" and is folded once, with the deckled edge sticking out above the portion of the sheet paper below it. The other three pages are blank. The letterpress sheet is in Fine condition. This copy also comes with a customer Clamshell Box. In addition to publishing two Bukowski books, Jon and Louise "Gypsy Lou" Webb published four issues of The Outsider magazine, which became the standard for poetry journals at the time. No other publication attracted nearly the talent that appeared in its pages and the production value of the magazine itself was unrivaled. Bukowski appeared in all four issues, with a large collection of poems in Outsider 1 (1961) and as the named "Outside of the Year" in Outsider 3 (1963), featuring Bukowski on the cover and a large center section. File Box 1 and Case 5. Signed by Author(s).
