KOSINSKI, Jerzy.
[1 PAGE TYPED LETTER SIGNED / TLS].
Publisher: New Haven: np, 1971.
First edition. 4to. Folded in thirds for mailing. Two tiny unobtrusive stains well below Kosinski's signature. In original envelope, roughly torn open. Else fine. On Kosinski's Yale Drama School letterhead to an unnamed book reviewer for the Omaha Nebraska World-Herald, dated October 28th, 1971. Condition: Near Fine. Brief typed letter signed of about 100 words in thanks for a positive review of Kosinski's classic novella, Being There: "I can think of nothing more stimulating for an author than to have his vision so exactly seized upon and so lucidly presented to a wide audience. Yet, your critical analysis not only lends a new image to the novel; it prompts the novelist to discern what, without your perception, he never would have believed himself." Given Kosinski's famous mischievousness one can imagine the author writing similar notes to each reviewer of his books; nonetheless, a charming sentiment touching on what -- after the successful film adaptation by Hal Ashby starring Peter Sellers and with none of the attendant controversy of The Painted Bird -- will likely remain Kosinski's most enduring work.

The printing of it will be a fine prerumble of the play in New York City." 'Prerumble' was the preface to one of Shaw's suppressed plays.

[McCULLOUGH, David] Various.
[COLLECTION OF SIX TITLES FROM THE LIBRARY OF DAVID MCCULLOUGH UTILIZED IN THE WRITING OF TRUMAN].
Publisher: Various: Various, (1958-1989).
. Titles include: DIPLOMAT AMONG WARRIORS by Robert Murphy (Doubleday, 1964); THE TRUMAN SCANDALS by Andrew J. Dunbar (Missouri, 1984); FISHBAIT: The Memoirs of the Congressional Doorkeeper by William Miller (Prentice-Hall, 1977); INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY by Jack Redding (Bobbs-Merrill, 1958); MAKING OF THE NEW DEAL edited by Katie Louchheim (Harvard, 1983); WHERE THE BUCK STOPS: The Personal and Private Writings of Harry S. Truman (Warner, 1989). All with underlining and marginalia in McCullough's hand, four with his ownership signature, and several with more extensive notes and commentary, including draft paragraphs. All first edition hardcovers. Generally very good or better, all but first two above lack jackets. Binding: Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. McCullough is a two-time winner of both the National Book Award (for Path Between the Seas and Mornings on Horseback) and the Pulitzer, once for John Adams (2002) and his first for 1991's Truman Ð for whose research and writing the books here offered were used. These volumes show McCullough not simply at work, but fully engaged with his sources Ð underlining passages he would later utilize in the final published version, offering reactions ("good quote, " "wonderful, " "oh my!"), comments ("FDR had poker parties, " "confirms what Anna R. said") and criticisms ("not so, " "when did he say this?") in the margins. Several volumes offer more extensive notes on the endpapers ("in his description of Lincoln he stresses his own qualities Ð p. 11-12"), with at least oneproviding a draft paragraph which would appear slightly revised in the published edition. An intimate look at arguably our finest and most well-respected historian in the midst of preparing what has become the standard work on our thirty-third president.

GUNN, J.W. M.D.
[HOLOGRAPH DRAFT AND MULTIPLE TYPESCRIPTS FOR ONE-ACT PLAY ENTITLED JIM LEE & CO. LAUNDRY].
Publisher: (San Francisco): np, 1937.
First edition. 4to. typing paper in a contemporary three-ring binder. Some edgewear, toning. Generally very good. Condition: Very Good. Four typescripts (with minor variations between), assorted notes, and a holographic draft of a nine-page one-act play prepared for O.E.S. Amity chapter 262 in San Francisco and performed on Oct. 11th, 1937. Set entirely in a Chinese laundry, the play tastelessly partakes of an array of stereotypes. The "Dramatic Personae" includes African-Americans ("Sambo Washington, " "a dark cloud"), Germans ("Baron Goofus" and "Weenie Schnitzel"), Chinese ("Quong What, " "Chong Foey, " and "More Yet"), homosexuals ("Bill Lightfoot, " a "foxy gent"), and even a Chinese homosexual ("Sing High"), among others. Almost entirely in difficult-to-read and awkward dialect with some faux Chinese and German thrown in for good measure, what plot there is revolves around the misunderstandings of various customers as they interact with laundry proprietor Jim Lee. "Hilarity" ensues. An unique glimpse behind the temple curtains into a hermetic world where racism and prejudice were openly perpetuated, even though undoubtedly from the participants' perspective it was all "in good fun." Right.

MORA, Jo.
[Menu to Pop Ernst's Abalone Seafood Restaurant].
Publisher: (Monterey): [np], [nd] (c. 1930).
. Near fine with center fold, as usual. Else bright and clean. Binding: Pamphlet. Condition: Near Fine in Wraps. For years, Pop Ernest's was a Monterey landmark. With Abalone populations in the area booming due to the near extinction of the sea otter, Pop invented a pounded abalone dish that established the abalone in American cuisine, helped create demand for the previously ignored fish, and led to the abalone canneries of the area. When he opened his own restaurant, he hired famed Carmel artist Jo Mora to design this colorful menu. A scarce piece of Monterey history. [Grandeau & Shorts p.33]

MAYER, Bernadette.
[SOURCE, MANUSCRIPT AND DRAFT MATERIALS FOR MAYER'S BOOK ERUDITIO EX MEMORIA].
Publisher: [New York]: np, [ca. 1964-1977].
First edition. 85 leaves of material, approx. 150pp. overall. Various sizes and formats all housed in a legal-sized manila envelope marked "Random Notebook" in Mayer's hand. Generally very good or better. Condition: Very Good. In his review of Bernadette Mayer's Eruditio Ex Memoria (Angel Hair, 1978), Douglas Messerli described the work thusly: "Memory, history, personal history, autobiography, metaphysical autobiography, Eruditio Ex Memoria is all of these" (L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, #7, March 1979). Or as Nada Gordon later wrote of Mayer's mid-career mimeo: "Mayer's compositional method for this book is to rescue the reams of documentation she acquired throughout her academic life, and to reformulate them as art." Offered here are those very "reams of documentation" Mayer utilized in creating her ninth book. Included are about 150 pages (on 85 leaves) of years of class and academic notes from Mayer's college and high school careers: various drawings and diagrams (including the original art and collage that become the cover of Eruditio), papers (including a typed report on Boolean Algebra), notes, hand-outs and other primary and holographic material, all of which Mayer eventually stitched together (in one form or another) through cut-up and collage techniques into what would become Eruditio Ex Memoria. Not a draft in the traditional sense, but rather the inspiration for the book and source material from which the text was assembled. A rare look into the experimental compositional methods of this important second generation New York School poet and one that serves to clarify what is often read as one of Mayer's most difficult works.

[BERRIGAN, Ted, Joe Brainard, Gerald Malanga, Dick Gallup, Ron Padgett, Peter Orlovsky).
[THREE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM 1964 WAGNER COLLEGE READING].
Publisher: [New York]: [Lorenz Gude?], [1964].
First edition. Three original silver gelatin prints, each about 3" x 5". Very good. Each a bit awkwardly trimmed and neatly removed from previous album. Very good. Binding: Photograph. Condition: Very Good. In JOE: A Memoir of Joe Brainard, Ron Padgett writes: "Also in February was a poetry reading that Joe, Ted, Dick, Lorenzo Thomas, Peter Orlovsky, Gerald Malanga, and I [..] gave at Wagner College on Staten Island. [..] The night of the reading a blizzard swept over the metropolitan area, and by the time we [..] reached the campus [..] [we found] that only two seats were occupied in a auditorium built for five hundred [..] the readers barely outnumbered the audience. The funny thing is that we had a great time [..] Lorenz [Gude] took photographs." These photographs - two shots of all the readers sitting on stage behind a table, and one of Berrigan and Padgett relaxing backstage - were almost certainly taken by Gude, publisher of Berrigan's C Magazine as well as his original Sonnets.

BURROUGHS, William S. (Allen Ginsberg).
[TLS to Allen Ginsberg with Enveloped Addressed in Burroughs' Hand, and Typescript of his Essay ON THE E-METER.].
Publisher: London: np, 1969.
First edition. One 4to. page typed letter signed "Bill, " dated March 3rd, 1969 from Burroughs' London address. With one small hand correction and two lines crossed out. Approximately 185 words. A bit faded. Near fine. WITH: 4pp. 4to. typescript with Burroughs' holograph page numbering to upper right-hand corner of each leaf, one line blacked-out, and a handful of type-written corrections. Fine. With envelope addressed by Burroughs to Ginsberg "c/o The Committee on Poetry" at Ginsberg's Woodstock farm. Rubbing, edgewear, a bit roughly torn open. Very good. Condition: Near Fine. The original letter and typescript published in the Burroughs issue of Allen DeLoach's Intrepid [Miles C260 "Letter to Allen Ginsberg" and C263 "On the E Meter"], the first serious and comprehensive examination of Burroughs' post Naked Lunch work. Originally mailed to Ginsberg, the poet presumably later passed these to DeLoach for inclusion in Intrepid #14/15 (provided). Burroughs manuscript and typescript examples have long been uncommon in the marketplace. And with Burroughs' archives now at the New York Public Library (and Ohio), increasingly scarce. In addition, as Ginsberg's archives were deposited en masse to Stanford, this is perhaps the only letter between these two Beat giants not currently behind institutional walls, and one of only a handful of association items between the "holy trinity" of Beats (Kerouac-Ginsberg-Burroughs) ever to come to market. A truly rare opportunity to acquire a document from one of greatest literary friendships and movements of the 20th Century.

SEAGER, Allan.
A FRIEZE OF GIRLS: Memoirs as Fiction.
Publisher: New York: McGraw-Hill, 1964.
First edition. First edition. 8vo. Near fine in like jacket. INSCRIBED by Seager to ffep: "For Dick, / Don't pay any / attention to / this. Live clean. / Allan Seager." Binding: Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket. Though admired by many during his lifetime, including Malcolm Cowley, Hugh Kenner, Robert Penn Warren, and James Dickey (who credited Seager's novel Amos Berry with making him a poet), novelist and short story writer Allan Seager had until recently been largely forgotten, remembered -- when remembered at all -- primarily for his excellent biography of Theodore Roethke (The Glass House). Though E.J. O'Brien -- editor of the original Best American Short Stories series -- once described Seager as part of the "apostolic succession of the American short story" which ran through Sherwood Anderson and Hemingway directly to Seager, almost all of his books remain out-of-print. Recently, however, a long-overdue interest in his work has reemerged. For its seventh issue, McSweeney's reprinted one of Seager's best-known stories along with three appreciations. And in 2004 The University of Michigan Press reissued Frieze of Girls with an new introduction by Charles Baxter who describes Seager's work in Frieze as "virtuoso." A novelized memoir of the girls and young women Seager knew in his youth, it is arguably his greatest achievement, one comparable in its artistry to Tobias Wolff's This Boys Life. Seager's signature is scarce; as the last book published during his life, particularly difficult to find signed.
