New York: Produced and Released by Mainstream Magazine, [ca, 1947-8].. Original 12" 78 rpm double-sided phonograph record. Printed labels a trifle foxed, small blemish at extreme edge far from grooves, otherwise visually very good. A quite rare recording of Trumbo's recitation of his long poem, first published in the Winter 1947 (I:1) issue of MAINSTREAM. While OCLC includes a barebones entry for this recording (without citing locations), it refers to "Part 2" only, which is the flip side of the present record, and is somewhat contradictory, asserting there is "no linguistic content" and "unreadable" and that it is a "musical recording."

Description:
Wm. Crosby and H.P. Nichols, Boston, 1851; First Edition; 8vo (5 1/2" x 9"), 38 pages; printed wraps. Impassioned oration delivered at Boston’s Melodeon theater by leading 19th century Unitarian minister, Transcendentalist, and social and religious reformer, Theodore Parker. Styled a sermon for Thanksgiving Day, it is in actuality a vehement exhortation against the recently enacted federal Fugitive Slave Law, in retaliation for which Parker had two months previously in this same hall advocated the killing of arresting officers by captured fugitives as justifiable self-defense, igniting a firestorm of condemnation which he here attempts to quell. No stranger to controversy, Parker once notoriously vilified patriot Daniel Webster for his courage in supporting the nation-saving Compromise of 1850, and his radical religious views, particularly on the nature of Jesus, had already led to the disaffection of a large number of Unitarian laity, the denial of a pulpit by his fellow clergy, and the…

New York: The Bookmailer Inc, 1959. 1st edition. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket (as issued). Near VG. 8vo, ~128pp, laminated fabric covers. The rare trade paper edition of this pseudonymous 1959 novel (usually encountered in a smaller format), which has been plausibly attributed to far-right scholar Revilo P. Oliver (who was an important figure in the John Birch Society when this was published). It was definitely the epistolary model on which The Turner Diaries by William Pierce was based, and thus provides an important link between the Eisenhower-era Right and its more militant successors (Oliver split from the Birch Society in 1966 and went on to be closely associated with the National Alliance). This was a publication of far-right publisher Lyle H. Munson. Owner name to front free endpaper (no other markings); else unmarked with some cover soil/toning, spine tilt, reading wear and a few minor interior stains.

Description:
1970 Guardian first American editions. Credited to author Baik Bong, the books are thought to be collectively written by the Chinese and North Korean governments.First published in the Korean language in 1968 and 1969. The English language translations were first published in 1969 and 1970, in Japan, under the Miraisha imprint.
The three books offered in this listing are first American editions, with US copyrights and Library of Congress catalog numbers. Kim's three volume biography was published and distributed worldwide under various imprints and languages, including French, Italian, Spanish, and Serbian. Presumably, this worldwide distribution was undertaken in support of "exporting revolution", a priority of the Chinese government in the 1960's and 1970's.
Condition of the three books and dust jackets is Very Good Plus. The books have sound bindings, complete and unmarked inside pages. The dust jackets show only light shelf wear, are not price clipped, and are protected in new mylar covers.
