Condition: Very good condition. Treaty Series No. 7, Sept 1904. Parliamentary documents possibly signed due to the desire for labor in South Africa. From 1904 to 1910 Britain was in dire need of cheap labor to work the gold mines of the Witwatersrand due to labor shortages following the Boer War. More than 63,000 Chinese miners were brought in through an indentured worker arrangement to dig for gold. This influx of Chinese workers stimulated the economy of South Africa, but the Chinese were sent home in 1910. 8vo, 8pp.

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).

In a letter to collector Corrie Guyt, Cox confessed to "doing these [Blind Drawings] for many years as a test of visual memory concentration" never "intend(ing) them for anyone but (him)self. They are personal, autobiographical to some extent." Cox prepared four different sizes of original Blind Drawings, the smallest measuring 7 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches and the largest measuring almost 12 x 16 1/2 inches. Each set of drawings was signed and dated within a given period to show sequence in order to see how one drawing tends to lead to another. - Chambers, Franklin & Tucker, pp.87, 90-94 The drawings are in fine condition n y n Gogmagog Press 7500.00 1 23072 COX, Morris A collection of 126 original Blind Drawings of female figures, black ink on 11 3/4 x 16 3/8 inch sheets of white paper, each signed and dated by the artist and bearing the red BD "stamp of affirmation", with the artist's printed statement on a separate sheet, laid in a morocco-backed, illustrated Japanese paper over boards felt-lined folding box (London) 1971-1973 For many years he (Cox) had practiced shutting his eyes, concentrating, drawing.

The present portfolio represents some of Cox's finest achievements using this idiosyncratic mode of drawing. Far from a mere curiosity, Cox's blind drawings clearly reflect a spiritual accomplishment of a high order; though the result of an unconventional discipline, the drawings are marked with the elegance of line and subtlety of feeling that come only from long submission to the constraint of technique.

The comment was to be published in a forthcoming issue of the `Journal of Monetary Economics`. Tobin was, besides teaching and research at Harvard and Yale University, strongly involved in the public life, writing on current economic issues and working as an economic expert and policy consultant. During 1961-62, he himself had served as a member of John F. Kennedy`s Council of Economic Advisors, then as a consultant between 1962-68. The 1982 report he comments here, was the first after Ronald Reagan`s election and so was "the occasion for his advisers to expound in full detail the administration`s economic strategy and its rationale" (Tobin, S. 1). "The 1982 Report is a manifesto of counter-revolution." (Tobin, S. 2). "The Report holds out little hope for fiscal policy as a tool of stabilization." (Tobin, S. 10). "No article of Reaganomic faith is more central than the proposition that the economic difficulties of recent years are due to the growth of the federal government." (Tobin, S. 14). Attached his signed, printed portrait and a signed letter concerning the typescript. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 500.

Original black and white photo of Henry Miller inside, looking out of the top of a Dutch door. On verso signed, inscribed and dated by the writer, "For Stefan. from Henry Miller Big Sur 8/49." A Typed Letter Signed, to "Dear Friend," one page of browned paper with two repairs to vertical folds and three unrepaired tears, 4to, n.p. (Big Sur), n.d. Miller apologizes to his correspondent that he is no longer able to respond to mail about his books as he has no time to actually write these books any more. "I regret that I am unable to answer your letter myself. for years the letters from readers of my books were a sustaining note in my life. Of late. has become a burden." He specifies, by writing about the book he is working on. "Since 1942, due to the pressures of other work, I have. put off the consummation of the one book which means more to me than any I have written thus far THE ROSY CRUCIFIXION. I want the luxury of being able to concentrate on this work." The Rosy Crucifixion consisted of three works, Sexus (1949), Plexus (1953) and Nexus (1959) and were all three published together by Grove Press in 1965. Miller introduces his friend, Emil White who would be answering letters for him. "Emil White, who has volunteered to answer my mail, is a close friend who lives nearby. He is doing this without compensation. Be kind to him!" Signed in full, with Emil's address in Big Sur below. Emil White, (1926-99) artist and close friend of Henry Miller. The Autograph Letter Signed by Emil White, on Henry Miller personal Big Sur stationery with trapezoidal photo illustration of Miller at head, is to a bookseller named Mr. Lindmark, Sept. 28, 1945. White writes on behalf of Henry Miller who had entrusted his friend, Emil White, to act as his secretary. "Enclosed is a picture of Henry Miller, the only one he has at this time. Mr. Miller regrets he cannot do the "blurb" for your book store. As for B. Traven, he knows. little about him. If you think you can get by the customs authorities, you may try to import his earlier books from. Obelisk Press. Paris." In a P.S., written along the side margins, "Can you obtain for Mr. Miller the following books at reasonable prices: Knut Hamsun "Mysteries"; Jean Giono "Joy of Man's Desiring" and Duhamel." White's letter is related in spirit but unrelated in date and inscription to MIller's signed photograph. Condition: photograph shows some cracking in upper left corner but overall in good condition as is White's ALS, but Miller's TLS on brown paper has been backed on Mulberry paper due to a full tear across a horizontal fold and splits along vertical folds.
