The transcribed conversations were shaped and stitched together to form the first Playboy Interview, a feature as memorable in its own way as the centerfold. In the nearly two decades since then, through assassinations, the civil rights movement, the sexual revolution, the Vietnam war, the women's movement, rock and roll, drugs, the television explosion, and years of tumultuous change, the Playboy Interview has provided revealing portraits of those who most profoundly affect our society. It is one forum where prominent people discuss themselves and their ideas in unusual depth and with surprising frankness. As presidents and poets, artists and athletes, saints and scoundrels have found, Playboy interviews are exhausting. That's because the idea has always been to push harder, to probe more deeply, to ask and ask questions until the interviewer, the editor, and the subject agree that something like the definitive interview has been obtained. Whatever the field of endeavor or the notoriety of the accomplishments, the Playboy Interview presents people as they really speak, sometimes lucidly and eloquently, other times profanely and angrily. Perhaps that's because interviewers are instructed to raise topics not normally discussed for publication~childhood traumas, failed marriages, moments of rage, and yes, when it is appropriate, sexual experiences. This book contains 31 of the most memorable interviews, together with commentary on how the interviews were obtained and what some of the reactions were upon publication. For the general reader, the interviews make fascinating and provocative reading, with many moments of nostalgia and poignancy. The student of journalism will find insights into a unique journalistic form. …

Cloth-backed boards, 8vo, lxxx, 104, 20, 48, 105-145 pp, plates. From the blurb: "The 'Dissertation' of Edward Rowe Mores 1710-1778 was the pioneer history of English typefounding. The author printed eighty copies at his home just before he died, and John Nichols added an appendix and sold them. The book has been much quoted by later writers, and it is a valuable authority for the typography of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in England. A good deal of curious information is given in its digressions. A reprint of 1924 is now rare; and the reasons for editing the work are chiefly that the text is not easy to come by, that it needs notes to make it intelligible and an index, and that it gains greatly by being produced, as Mores intended that it should be, with a specimen of many of the old types described in it, which were the stock of the James typefoundry. The present edition supplies these wants and a life of Mores in more detail than it has been written before. He is remembered now mainly for his researches in the history of printing; but as an antiquary he was typical of his age in the range of his interests. The work he did on Anglo-Saxon literature and local histories is respectable, and he was prominent in developing life-insurance. His eccentricity and quarrelsomeness give piquancy to his biography.The Dissertation needs correction. An essay introductory to it in this edition and footnotes to the text try to redress its account of the early history of this trade. The Catalogue and Specimen of the Printing-Type-Foundery of John James issued in 1782, is included, reproduced entire by photo-lithography. The Specimen bears the marks of editing by Mores. It is the only record of a miscellaneous collection of types of the sixteenth and later centuries used by London printers, many of them associated with famous books. Only two copies are known of this document and few of its pages have been reproduced before. Identification and attribution of the types shown in it are attempted in a series of notes."

Bleiler was born April 30, 1920 in Massachusetts. He received an anthropology degree from Harvard University in 1942 and a degree in the history of culture from the University of Chicago. He started working at Dover Publications in 1955, eventually becoming executive vice president in 1967, and left the company in 1977. After leaving Dover, he worked at Charles Scribner's Sons until 1986. He edited or co-edited numerous works including the annual Best Science Fiction Stories series, the Year's Best Science Fiction Novels series, and several anthologies. His nonfiction work includes The Checklist of Fantastic Literature, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction, Supernatural Fiction Writers: Fantasy and Horror, Science Fiction: The Early Years, and Science Fiction: The Gernsback Years. He received several awards including the 1978 World Fantasy Award (Special, Professional), the 1984 SFRA Pilgrim Award, the 1988 World Fantasy Life Achievement Award, the 1994 First Fandom Award, and the 2004 International Horror Guild Living Legend Award. Bleiler wrote two works of fiction: the fantasy novel Firegang: A Mythic Fantasy, set in the tree of Yggdrasil as well as moving across time and space, and Magistrate Mai and the Invisible Murderer, a detective story set in ancient China. The dime novel authors are Horatio Alger, Frederick van Rensselaer Dey, Francis Doughty, Edward Ellis, Prentiss Ingraham,Theodore Menten, William Patten and Edward Wheeler. The eight dime novels have been selected to show major tastes and trends, important authors and major series with the almost limitless sea of publication. Two detectives, Old King Brady and Nick Carter show various styles of crime fighting; two western figures, Buffalo Bill and Deadwood Dick represent two major frontier adventurers. Among outlaws the James Brothers are easily preeminent and among inventions, a steam, man. In the ethics and morals brand, or rages to riches Burt Standish and Horatio Alger obviously must be included. This is the First Dover Edition, presumed first printing.…

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Three ---12 page booklets that contain the testimony/arguments in a New York Supreme Court Case in 1884 that involved Ulysses S. Grant. ----- How Ulysses S. Grant is connected Direct connection: Ulysses S. Grant was a partner (and heavy investor) in the firm Grant & Ward. He lost large sums when Ferdinand Ward s fraudulent operation collapsed in 1884. That collapse spawned the recovery litigation in which receivers/assignees (like George C. Holt) pursued transfers, payments, or assets that could be recovered for creditors and investors. Grant was therefore a central victim/interested party whose losses made these recovery suits necessary. Indirect role in Holt Warner: Grant is not (so far as the finding aids show) a named party in the Holt v. Warner materials you referenced; instead, the Holt Warner litigation is one of many legal actions whose purpose was to gather assets into the bankrupt estate. The outcome of such suits determined how much (if anything) investors like Grant could recover.…
