NEW YORK: Scribners, 1885. First American Edition 1st Printing. Decorative Cloth. Near Fine. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. From the recently auctioned collection of M.B. Goldstone- with his custom bookplate attached loosely to the front pastedown and pencil notations to the ffep. Goldstone, along with his brother Adrian, the Steinbeck bibliographer, were collector's of the first magnitude, with some of their recently auctioned books setting records. This copy is near fine with very few flaws---one corner is bumped and there is light rubbing to the cloth boards, owner's gift inscription on ffep from 1886--but not much more. Top stained lightly faded. Tight, clean and square with an unread feel to it. The author's first book with a very limited publishing amount 227 pp. 44 pp Scribner's ads. 2 blank pp. A wonderful copy.

Toronto: William Briggs Book. Illus. by Leslie L. Benson. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Canadian edition.. Small octavo. No date [1918]. According to IMDb, Macfarlane was a railroad clerk, pastor and an actor before becoming a writer. Unable to come to grips with his failing health, he shot himself on the steps of the San Francisco morgue. Far be it from me to argue with IMDb. Red cloth w/yellow bell illustration/black lettering to front cover, black spine lettering, 458 pages. Light wear to corners/spine ends, lightly dusted/tanned edges, small bookseller's tag to bottom of rear pastedown, in dust jacket w/light edgewear, mild chipping, a bit of scuffing, impressions, faint soil, moderate wear to folds. A nice copy of a scarce edition seldom found in a dust jacket..

Born to a mother who was a "hot firecracker of a woman," RuPaul Andre Charles talks about her powerful influence and of his life growing up in a house full of women. He tells the story of his difficult but loving childhood, his early awareness of "being different," and takes us on a wild ride highlighting his various drag personae over the years in Atlanta, New York City, and eventually all over the world.RuPaul also reveals his secrets as the apotheosis of the nineties' glamour girl: how to work a wig, how to get sparkling white teeth, how to work the camera and how to get the camera to work for you, the essential items every drag queen must have in her purse, and how to achieve the fiercest tuck this side of the Mason-Dixon line. RuPaul also lets us behind his persona to show his fans that there is more to him than the paint and the… Read More

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process.
