Description:
not stated: American Society of Civil Engineers [unpublished], 1891. Original Wraps. 56p., tentative text with only one page showing corrections (in pencil, grammatical errors only), coverless signatures sewn with tough thread in good shape, the usual govt or quasi-govt publication in 9x6 inch self-wraps. Front cover (i.e., first page) bears an old ownership in pen & ink, dust-soil, handling crimps and a touch of foxing. Back cover has a spatter of ink (eighth-inch blobs) and more dust & foxing. As is, perfectly legible. Author Wilson explains that in the US .."Until about 1882.. there was no single irrigation work designed on sound engineering principles" but all were "hastily constructed" under pressure for money, especially in Colorado and California. -- From first page: "This advance copy is subject to revision. It is sent to you personally for discussion only and with the express understanding that it is not to be published or furnished for publication in advance of its regular issue in…

Description:
Melbourne: The Hawthorn Press, 1947. Paperback. Find text through p.38, followed by eight full page b&w plates, a small softbound item in 8.5x5.5 inch printed wraps (cardstock covers with a wraparound jacket). Worn copy, wraps have short splits at top and tail of spine, mild dust-soil and sunning. Textblock has a slightly bumped corner-tip, graphics unaffected. A good (good-only) copy. Author Turnbull argues that general Australian mediocrity has let a few flowers bloom. "The National Gallery in Sidney," he scoffs, "remains, largely, a chamber of horrors to this day..

Description:
Paris, 1930. Paperback. A large folder, 12x9.5 inch plain printed wraps, containing variously paginated fascicles that are staplebound and are themselves fastened into the wraps with a decorative cord. Presswork on thick matte leaves (quite alkaline) features sepia gravure site photography of (mostly) modernist industrial buildings, plus bridges & roads & houses, all constructed with the company's product (tarpaper, poured layerings, road surfacing). Many diagrams also; these detail construction minutia. Captions and the brief running text entirely in French. Wraps somewhat edgeworn, a little toned and spotted, staples badly rusted while the cord remains sound and decorative. The photos are excellent, clearly reproduced and in clean condition. Laid in find loose leaves that further clarify builders' concerns. All in all, a very good exemplar.

Description:
[Japan]: Umeda Printing Co., presumably for the author, 1999. 173p., vignette photo and vita of Suga, pink boards titled in rainbow foil and decorated with a chaste inkwash; mild signs of wear and a little soiling, very good copy, remarkably fine haiku. Signed in inkpen on the ffep with personal stamp in red. Laid in is a personal publicity letter (some 100 words) from ur-translator Hirata to friends. Hirata's rough English versions may have been as rough as his Englished language in this short enclosed letter; excellence on the page must be due in great part to two persons credited an authorial note p.173, acknowledging "Ms. P. Donegan and Ms. Y. Ishibashi who refined my haiku and into a flowing style" as indeed they did; Suga's conceptual powers are however eminent and unmistakeable.

Description:
New York: Atheneum, 1972. 254p., first American edition openweave cloth boards gilt in dj; a nice production job, text on calendared paperstock, in not quite collector's condition. Top-edge tint is faded, there is a minute nick in the head exposing a fleck of card, and the dust jacket has some ragged tears and missing chunks that obscure jacket titling. A good, sound, clean carry- to- the- coffee-shop copy. This particular George MacBeth "is married to a research geneticist and is a producer for the B.B.C. Third Programme." Even more promising than the news that MacBeth has extra-poetical credentials, is his choice of dj blurbs: along with the usual high praise we are relayed several that are gloriously hostile, "wasted talents" and so forth.
