- Used
- very good
- Hardcover
- Signed
- first
New York: Doubleday, 1956. Boldly and handsomely SIGNED and inscribed at the first blank page, "To x and y, Stay as fine as you are Billie Holiday". Colourful memoir of the iconic jazz singer's harrowing life and career, ghosted (and abetted) by journalist William Dufty. As Holiday biographer Chris Ingham aptly states, " written during a vogue for sensational life stories as popularized by True Confessions magazine...the book had its eyes on Hollywood and served to perpetuate myths about Billie that were as difficult to disprove as they were to wholeheartedly believe". Very good in red cloth boards, spine ends and fore corners are worn and somewhat frayed, slight loss to gilt spine titles, mild age toning to pages, top edge is a bit dusty, touch of soiling to front board, otherwise clean and unmarked.The difficult dust jacket is a strong very good+, unclipped with original price of $3.95, light wear and rubbing to spine ends, flap edges and extremities, small crease and wear to bottom edge of rear wrap and top corner of front flap, else quite bright, clean and presentable. Rare copy of one of the most sought after of all signed jazz autobiographies. J1419. Signed by Author. Stated First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good+. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
1827. Book. Very Good. Full-Leather. This is a one of a kind original handwritten working manuscript by the famous French chansonnier, Pierre-Jean de Béranger. These chansons are dated 1827 and were subsequently published in his fourth collection of chansons, the one which precipitated his punishment of nine months imprisonment in La Force Prison. In addition, there is one page which seems to be a crossed out chanson that may not have been published. The manuscript is about 32 pages long (with additional blank pages). The chansons are written in Béranger's hand and contain alterations and edits. It is a real, working manuscript. This is really a museum quality piece that would also be the jewel of any private collection. Text in French. Rebound in flexible red leather boards with gold gilt titles. Leather boards have edge wear, minor scratches, minor scuffs, rubbed/frayed corners/spine..

Guthrie tells the recipient, Marshall, "I hope you find some real 'fight' in this book..." Inscription is dated to April 1943, a few weeks after the book's publication. It would be difficult to underestimate Guthrie's influence on American folk music and as well as American popular music.

Description:
London, Ewer & Co. [185???] Overstamped in red: Jordens & Martens. New-York 785 Broadway. Hard Cover. 1 p.l., 108 pages; 26.5 cm. Composed in 1843-1845 on commission from the King of Prussia and first performed in December of 1845, Athalie was the last production of Mendelssohn's Berlin period. The first edition was Leipzig, 1849. Jean Racine's (1639-1699) Biblical tragedy was first performed in 1691. This version, with English libretto by William Bartholomew (1793-1867), seems to be the first English edition, and, with its publisher's overstamp, the first American as well. It appears to be earlier than the editions in the NUC (cf. 375: 552-553) or in the Boston or New York Public Libraries catalogs. It certainly dates before 1867 when Ewer merged with Novello. Vg/ bound in 3/4 leather with name label on front cover of Charles F. Leonard (a bass if the pencil markings are his). Stock#OB201.
