Austin, TX: Amistad Press, 1982. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Miniature hardcover; 2.5 x 1.875 inches; unpaginated; illustrated. Brown paper backed in dark brown cloth, marbled end papers, tiny silver booksellers label from Tokyo's Lilliput Oval Saloon in rear. No notable flaws. Originally published as an article in the December, 1979 issue of Texas Monthly. A collection of small people, places and things in Texas. With many illustrations throughout. From the authors' introduction: "From plants and animals that are only knee-high to a grasshopper, from landmarks to literature, from art to scientific discoveries -- a big array of diminutive bests. We Texans love the Big Tex myth, but in this era of limits it's in bad taste to strive for grandiosity. Now is the time to excel at being small even more than we did at being big. And Texas is ready. To prove it we've combed the state for tiny Texana.

Boston: Museum of Fine Arts (Boston). Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 1961. Booklet. Light crease at the spine of the front cover. ; A humorous tale of a crow or raven who successively, page after page, drinks and drains numerous glasses of spirits until its view of the world blurs, it stands, then falls on its back. Told wordlessly, with drawings only, and the story line is obvious. The stylized head and beak of the bird reoccur in Steinlen's book illustrations of crows and vultures. Swiss-born, creative polymath Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923) was painter, fabric designer, sculptor, periodical publisher, printmaker, and illustrator. Renowned for his turn-of-the-century, Art Nouveau-style, Steinlen produced drawings of Parisian street life, depicting average working-class people, actors, vendors, prostitutes, the upper class out of their element, criminals, and families, all in the urban environment. He was equally known for his many drawings of cats in both natural…
