Condition: Very Good. Nummer 667 of unknown number of copies -- the book was sent to all the members of the Gesellschaft der Freunde der Deutschen Bücherei. An attractive printing in terms of paper, the Fraktur font, the overall design of the page, albeit not the most uncommon edition of the work. 4to. 25 by 19.5 cm. 61 pp. With a folded sheet "Prospectus", which we think was more like a printed cover letter equivalent, with details about the book. This has printed content on the rectos only, or two unpaginated pages. Some tearing of the "dust jacket" -- the translucent wax paper that covers the patterned paper pastedown. And the tearing penetrates into the spine's interior. Also some blistering of paper pastedown on spine. Wax paper has some stains, and it has also yellowed. Interior is clean, with light age toning to leaves, and overall a very good copy. Accompanying piece of ephemera without any issues or defects. Fair ("Dust Jacket" is merely a layer of paper, separate from paper pastedown, covering boards, without flaps but secured along edges) Semi-Rigid Boards. Paper pastedown on boards and spine First Edition thus. Numbered copy -- limited edition.

Condition: Good. Letterpressed prospectus on laid paper, 8.5"x 11", folded. Very good. Undated. Herb Yellin (1935-2014) was the highly respected publisher and founder of Lord John Press, considered by many to be one of the most important small presses of the 20th century. His close personal relationships with many significant writers resulted in an impressive number of unique, collectible,signed limited edition books. Working with some of modern literature's biggest names-Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, John Updike, Eudora Welty, and Joyce Carol Oates among them-and entertaining his personal fascination with Hollywood, Yellin was able to create a new realm for Lord John Press combining the two fields; several books, including The Lord John Film Festival, were the result.

No Binding. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. This Will Be A Series Of Papers Discussing Issues Relevant To Governmental Funding And Expenditures. The Assumption Of These Papers Is That The Acceptable Justification For Government Is To Provide For The Common Welfare. That Common Welfare Is The Welfare Of Individuals, That Is, Humans, Their Households, Their Families, Their Communities, And The Wider Commonalities With Which They Identify, Including People Subject To The Same Local, State, National, Or International Governmental Organizations, And To Some Degree Everyone In The World, And All Of Their Descendants To The Last Generation Of Human Existence. Unfortunately, Academic Political Economy Is Argely A Discussion Of Secondary Evidence Of A Particular Kind, Irreproducible Data Accepted From Data Gatherers Of Highly Political Or Self-Interested Agendas. This Data Lumps People Together Into Some Sort Of Nomological Group, And Then Treats That Group As If It Were A Viable Representation Of The Past, Present And Future Behaviors And Constituents Of The Individual Members Of A Group, Even Though It Is Individuals Who Have A Complte Life, Not The Group. This Is Similar To A Social Scientist Counting Sexual Organs And Then Deducing From That An Analysis Of Sex. It Is Even More Similar To A Family Therapist Treating The Family As The Subject Of Work, Discussing Work Only In Terms Of The Singular Noun "The Family", And, When Talking To The Members Of The Group, Referring Only To "The Family" Rather Than To The Individual Members In Any Way; If An Actual Family Therapist, Or, Worse, A Government Social Worker, Were To Do This, With Actual Power Over The Behavior And Futures Of Members Of The Group, It Is Easy To See That Irritation Within The Group Would Reach A Point When The Leaders Of The Group Would Be Thrown Down, Or Out, Or Away. This Result Also Occurs N Whole Societies; The People Who Do This Are Economists And, In Particular, Political Economists, The Only "Experts" In This World Who Have No Actual Experience Creating Economic Or Social Goods But Proclaim Themselves Experts In All Places And At All Times. The Purpose Of These Short Periodic "Comments" Is To Identify Some Of The More Evil Characteristics Of Their Work, Evils Of Relatively Easy Remedy If Attitudes Would Change From The Belief In Equivalent Atomicity And The Attainability Of Predictive Certainty To The Search For Understanding And Abses For Helpfulness.
