Description:
Leipsic: Karl Baedeker, 1899. Second revised edition. First Baedeker originally written in English. Includes 19 color maps and 24 color "plans" (also maps), many of which are double or folding. 16mo gilt-stamped red cloth over flexible boards; all edges marbled; ribbon place marker; 579 pages including index. Name on first blank, small chip to rear free endpaper, covers in very good to near fine condition with only few tiny areas of boards exposed. The maps & plans, all of which have been accounted for, are altogether near fine with only a few showing marginal foxing -- with the exception of the large U.S. map at rear which has been pasted down along its left side, evidently to stop a longish tear there, and is showing a few splits and tears at folds. Still, scarce in this overall nice condition.

Description:
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co., (1971). First edition. The remarkable transcript of 7.5 hours of dialogue conducted over two days in August 1970 between the famed author(s) and anthropologist that still resonates today. Often heart-achingly so. Baldwin speaking on police violence: "The police in this country make no distinction between a Black Panther or a black lawyer or my brother or me. The cops aren't going to ask me my name before they pull the trigger." But sometimes at least showing movement in one way or another. MEAD speaking on "parallelism between race and sex": "...Ralph Bunche and I used to laugh because there were parts of the Cosmos Club he couldn't go in and there were parts I couldn't go in ... [both] ... based on prejudice." 8vo quarter red cloth over black paper boards; 256 pages. Good or better with a slight spine lean and several scrapes to the black paper covering. In bright, near fine dust jacket with one small tear internally mended with archival tape. Increasingly scarce.
