A Dialogue With Objects: Objects of Isaac Monteiro 1959-1996
New York Privately Printed 1997 Soft Cover Very Good 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
Privately printed, New York, 1997.

From the artist's introduction: "My objects are artistic in that they dwell on everyday situations and on universal human emotions. Taking this into account, I came up with an idea: why not give these works an inner voice and have 'them' speak for themselves? Why not let them explain and expand on what they are and how the viewer or participant (if physical help is required) can help them perform their artistic objectives. (A few objects are still described in the normal literary style.) To finalize, my objects are what they are. They do not pretend to be anything else. They are not part of a manifesto or a movement. They are self-sustained objects that were created by a human being for others to see, experience and touch."

What's Happening in SoHo
University of Maryland Art Gallery 1971 Soft Cover Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
University of Maryland Art Gallery, 1971. unpaginated (36 pages). Catalog of an exhibit at the University of Maryland Art Gallery on October 21 - November 28, 1971. Book is in Very Good condition - ex-library (small stamp on front cover saying "Hillyer Art Library" along with a date stamp and some writing; no other indications anywhere in the book that this is ex-library); scratch marks on front cover; corner wear. 15 b/w illustrations, including the front cover. From the Preface: "There is no SoHo school of painting or sculpture, and the present exhibition, which represents work by about one-tenth of one percent of the artists who live there, does not attempt to suggest such a school. It was planned rather to reveal something of the vitality of this newly developed community of artists. Several generations of living artists have settled in SoHo. The oldest generation represented there includes artists whose careers began in the thirties; Louise Nevelson, for example, has a studio in Spring Street, and Adolph Gottlieb, in West Broadway. The artists in the exhibition are of a younger generation; their ages run between twenty-five and fifty. As the biographical notes in the catalogue indicate, several of the artists have establihsed reputations, while others are so to speak, on the make."

And they are remarkable stories indeed, whether about her blind, uneducated great-grandmother who, as the members of her vast family disovered, knew well the grammar of generosity and the mathematics of love; or about the hired hand, Samone, whose gifts to the family included not just his hard work but a gift of music; or about her grandfather Modesto, who so wisely placed a higher value on human relationships that on his fortune in the banks. These are but a few of the tales that evoke a strong sense of Cuba...."

What would happen if misguided, even evil, physicians abandoned their moral obligations and banded together to protect themselves from their past and, at the same time, use their past to richen their lifestyles and their pockets at the expense of everything their profession holds sacred?"

338 pages. Inscribed by author on title page as follows: "10/18/95 For Bob - With best regards from Carlotta & me - Linda Barnes". From the publisher: "In her sixth spellbinding adventure, Carlotta Carlyle, the 6'1" redheaded P.I. from Boston, takes on a case that draws her into the mysterious shadovaand of computer technology, where information is cheap, and privacy may be a thing of the past. Part-time cabbie Carlotta is entering the modern age of investigation. With the help of her sometime lover, mafioso, and computer-hobbyist Sam Gianelli, she invests in her first 'hardware,' a cheap personal computer. And at the urging of her ex-boss, Boston Police Lt. Mooney, who decries the stopping power of her .38 S&W, she decides to upgrade her arsenal. Both types of hardware come in handy when Carlotta is hired by Gloria, owner of G&W Cab, to investigate the brutal robberies that are causing her cabbies to quit in record numbers, and the violence and unanswered questions escalate. An explosion rocks G&W, killing Gloria's brother and seriously wounding co-owner Sam Gianelli. Is someone out to bankrupt G&W to acquire its invaluable cab medallions? Is the company a pawn in a Mafia vendetta, with Sam, the underboss's son, the target? And who put that tiny microphone near G&W's bathroom? Aided by a mysterious databank expert, Carlotta learns far more than she thought possible about 'private' transactions. And she finds herself digging into Sam's past, exposing secrets he's kept hidden for years--secrets that begin to pull them further apart. As the investigation reaches its climax, Carlotta realizes, almost too late, that the mob may be just a fall guy in a very intimate crime." Gift wrap and gift card available.

Book is in Very Good condition: binding is tight and pages are bright and clean; edge wear at top and bottom of spine. covers have light soiling. From the reverse side of the title page: "The orchestra scores...are accompanied by piano versions in which the entrances of instruments are carefully cued in.Small notes, not to be played on the piano, indicate such entrances as do not lie within the limits of a piano setting. Realizing that composers have occasionally applied their phrasing with consideration for the limitation of a player's bow or breath, the editors use their own conception of interpretation in phrasing the piano transcriptions. These transcriptions are not intended to offer simplified piano settings. Their main purpose is to show as fully as possible the voices of all instruments. To make the I.M.E. Orchestra Scores enlightening textbooks on the art of instrumentation, the editors preserve the accuracy of the voices' progression whenever possible. It may therefore occur that progressions lead into sustained notes being held by other insturments. However, the editors' purpose is attained without imparing the playability of the piano versons". 4 illustrations.

Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania Behrman, Andy
New York, New York, U.S.A. Random House Inc 2002 0375503587 Stated 1st Edition/2nd Printing Hard Copy Very Good+ Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Inscribed By Author
Random House, New York, 2002. Inscribed by author on title page, as follows: "Dana, Enjoy! Best, Andy Behr". Stated 1st edition/2nd printing. Book is in Very Good+ condition: front board doesn't lie quite flat. Dust jacket is in Very Good condition: laminated top layer is beginning to peel at edges; creasing along edges. From the dust jacket: "'Electroboy' is an emotionally frenzied memoir that reveals with kaleidoscopic intensity the terrifying world of manic depression. For years Andy Behrman hid his raging mania behind a larger-than-life personality. He sought a high wherever he could find one and changed jobs the way some people change outfits: filmmaker, PR agent, art dealer, stripper - whatever made him feel like a cartoon character, invincible and bright. Misdiagnosed by psychiatrists and psychoteherapists for years, his condition exacted a terrible . . . [toll]: out-of-control euphoric highs and tornadolike rages of depression that put his life in jeopardy.Ignoring his crescendoing illness, Behrman struggled to keep up appearances, clinging to the golden-boy image he had cultivated in his youth. But when he turned to art forgery, he found himself the subject of a scandal lapped up by the New York media, then incarcerated, then under house arrest. And for the first time the golden boy didn't have a ready escape hatch from his unraveling life. Ingesting handfuls of antidepressants and tranquilizers and feeling his mind lose traction, he opted for the last resort: electroshock therapy. At once hilarious and harrowing, Electroboy paints a mesmerizing portrait of a man held hostage by his insatiable desire to consume. Along the way, it shows us the New York that never sleeps: a world of strip clubs, after-hours dives, and twenty-four-hour coffee shops, whose cheap seductions offer comfort to the city's lonely souls. This unforgettable memoir is a unique contribution to the literature of mental illness and introduces a writer whose energy may well keep you up all night."

The Road to 'Seventy Years Young' or The Unhabitual Way Bishop, Emily M.
New York B. W. Huebsch 1916 Fifth Printing Hard Copy Good+ No Jacket 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
B. W. Huebsch, New York, 1916. 205 pages. Book is in Good+ condition: discoloration on front board. bumped corners; light edge wear. From the Foreword: "Psychology teaches that 'the antecedent step to getting a thing done is to suggest it forcibly, or, in everyday parlance, 'to put it into his head'.' The purpose of this book is 'to put in into the heads' of its readers that they can add (1) life to their years, and (2) years to their life. The suggestions given herein are addressed quite as much to those who are still young in years as to those who have lived two or more score of years. There inevitable comes a time, sooner or later, when every one is personally interested in not growing old; and the earlier in life that one's attention is directed to rational ways of postponing oldness, the better for the individual. The idea that the writer has tried to present, simply and practically, is that man's responses and reactions to life are virtually within his own control; that the quality and number of his responses and reactions determine, to a large degree, his oldness or youngness." Chapter headings are: Old-Age Bugaboos; The Tendency of the Times; No 'Time-Expired' Men; Concerning Birthdays; Old Age a Condition; Habit and Old Age; Keep Out of Ruts; Body and Brain Commerce; The Habit of the Unhabitual; 'If To Do Where As Easy--'; Keeping the Body Young; Social Ruts; Domestic Ruts; Thinking and Feeling Ruts.

Medieval French Literature and Law Bloch, R. Howard

Dust jacket is in Very Good+ condition: 1/8" closed tear on top edge; slight rubbing. From the dust jacket: "This book explores the relation between the seemingly distinct realms of Old French Literature and the judicial transformation of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The author traces the evolution in trial procedure -- and political organization -- from the feudal to the inquisitory court and situates the rise of the epic, romance, and love lyric within the context of that shift. His findings cast new light upon the role of the literary text as a vehicle of social change during Europe's formative -- and one of its most intense -- periods of cultural activity."

From the publisher: "A philosophical yet practical gentleman, Bernie Rhodenbarr possesses many admirable qualities: charm, intelligence, sparkling wit, and unwavering loyalty. Of course, he also has this special talent and a taste for life's finer things. So he's more than willing to perform some vengeful larceny for a friend -- ripping off a smarmy, particularly deserving plastic surgeon -- for fun and a very tidy profit. But during a practice run at another address, Bernie's forced to hide under a bed when the lady of the house returns unexpectedly with the worst kind of blind date in tow. In no time, Bernie's up to his burgling neck in big trouble. Again. And this time it includes his arrest, no less than four murders, and more outrageous coincidences than any self-preserving felon should ever be required to tie together."

Warning of War : A Novel of the North China Marines Brady, James

Thomas Dunne Books, New York, 2002. Hard copy. Inscribed by author on front flyleaf as follows: "To Frank - Happy Birthday - [signed] James Brady". Stated 1st edition. 1st printing. Book is in Very Good+ condition: edges a little dirty; light general wear; binding is tight and square, and pages are clean and bright. Not a remainder. Dust jacket is in Very Good+ condition: rubbing on edge at folds; no chips or tears. From the dust jacket: "Late November of 1941. Half the world is at war and with the other half about to join in, a thousand U.S. Marines stand sentinel over the last days of an uneasy truce between ourselves and the Imperial Japanese Army in chaotic North China. By November 27, FDR is convinced Japan is about to launch a military action. Washington doesn't know where, isn't sure precisely when. But the Cabinet is sufficiently alarmed that War Secretary Henry Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox are authorized to send an immediate and coded 'warning of war' to American bases and units in harm's way. In Shanghai two cruise ships are chartered and 800 armed American Marines of the 4th Regiment (serving in China since the Boxer Rebellion) are marched through the great port city with enormous pomp and circumstance and embarked for Manila. Another two hundred Marines, unable to reach Shanghai, and serving in small garrisons and posts from Peking to Mongolia and the Gobi Desert, are caught short by this 'warning of war'. This is their story. Of how a detachment of American Marines marooned in North China as war erupts, set out on an epic march through hostile territory in an attempt to fight their way out of China and, somehow, rejoin their Corps for the war against Japan. James Brady dazzles us once again with a stunning and unflinching look at America at war. Warning of War is a moving tribute to sheer courage, determination, and Marine Corps discipline, and is a wonderful celebration of America in one of its darkest but finest hours."

Book is in Very Good condition: binding is tight and pages are bright and clean; 1" tear in cloth cover on binding; light edge wear. From the reverse side of the title page: "The orchestra scores...are accompanied by piano versions in which the entrances of instruments are carefully cued in.Small notes, not to be played on the piano, indicate such entrances as do not lie within the limits of a piano setting. Realizing that composers have occasionally applied their phrasing with consideration for the limitation of a player's bow or breath, the editors use their own conception of interpretation in phrasing the piano transcriptions. These transcriptions are not intended to offer simplified piano settings. Their main purpose is to show as fully as possible the voices of all instruments. To make the I.M.E. Orchestra Scores enlightening textbooks on the art of instrumentation, the editors preserve the accuracy of the voices' progression whenever possible. It may therefore occur that progressions lead into sustained notes being held by other insturments. However, the editors' purpose is attained without imparing the playability of the piano versons". 4 illustrations.

From government agencies to conservation groups and grassroots heroes, Americans banded together for a common cause, and this beautiful, wild spirit once again flies freely across our skies. Return of the Eagle chronicles this American success story with words and photos, including some of the most incredible photographs ever taken of eagles in flight. Return of the Eagle also features a unique directory to more than 150 acres throughout the nation where bald eagles may be viewed in the wild."
