Fine unread condition red cloth boards with gold front cover and spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by James A. Michener and a rear section consisting of The Constitution of the United States.

All pages are in fine unmarked condition and the spine/binding is in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). "In the year of his eightieth birthday, and the two-hundredth anniversary of our Constitution, James A. Michener contributes a short novel of great impact. Major Norman Starr, attached to the National Security Council, is told that he will shortly be called before a congressional committee. Through a tense, reflective weekend, the officer talks over the situation with his wife and a streetwise Washington lawyer - and begins to think back to the long line of Americans from whom he is descended. One was a Supreme Court justice, another figured importantly in the unofficial nightly debates about drafting a new document to unify and help guide the affairs of the young United States, another was an unlikely but courageous and effective suffragist. One by one, these and others parade through the officer's mind - the soldier, the Roosevelt-hater, the slave-owner. Legacy is a novel as timely as today and as timeless as truth and justice - its biographical portraits an eloquent lesson in American history. Here, in a powerful story that can be read in an evening and remembered for a lifetime, James A. Michener demonstrates once more why he has become one of the most widely read and respected of American writers." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

FOUR VOLUME SET of Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura (or Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Trees) - a Japanese play, one of the three most popular and famous in the Kabuki repertoire, originally written in 1747 for Bunraku (traditional Japanese puppet theater), and adapted to kabuki the following year. The Japanese photographer Takashi Kijima (1920-2011), known mainly for his photographs of nudes and flowers, is the winner of the prestigious advertising award from Life for his 1960 advertisements for Yawata Iron & Steel. Since 1945, Kijima had also been following his own, noncommercial interest in photographing b&w nudes outdoors: his photographing of nude women directly in front of Sakurada gate of the imperial palace in Tokyo very early one morning in 1958 caused a great uproar; his 1958 exhibition, titled "Ra", of nude photographs was the second held in Japan (the first was by Kira Sugiyama), visited by more than thirty thousand people. Kijima also specialized in kimono and until very late in his life was photographing models for the magazine Kimono Salon. The four beautifully designed volumes are presented in their original cloth bound case with Japanese-style bone clasps. The colors for the covers of the four volumes in this set are taken from the yellow-green, orange and black stripes of the traditional broad striped curtain used on the Kabuki stage. Also included is a traditional Japaneses red cloth sized 360x360mm. [CASE]: 275x265mm. Case slightly dust-stained. [ALL VOLUMES]: 265x250mm. 812 pages (each volume contains 203 pages). Cloth-bound Hardcover with sticker and embossed light blue lettering on on front cover. White lettering on spine. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare, beautifully designed and packed set of four large albums with numerous photographs by one of the most influential 20th-century Japanese photographers, is in very good condition. The book is in : English Japanese.

MOSELLA Decimus Magnus Ausonius Latein-Deutsch. EDITION WERNER EIKEL Aachen, 1. Auflage 1993, ERSTAUSGABE, illustriertes Hardcover gr. 4° (30 x 23 cm, dunkelgrünes Oln. mit Golddruck), gut erhalten - limitierte, nummerierte Ausgabe # 112/485, von Werner Eikel eigenhändig signiert und nummeriert.

238 x 295 mm. (9 3/8 x 11 5/8"). 12 unnumbered leaves, the last blank. Original white faux moiré wrapper, upper cover with a glazed oval color vignette of a pastoral scene at the center enclosed by a large and very ornate frame of green and gilt. First page with elegant engraved cartouche (around engraved Linley information) featuring three lovely vignettes of Cambridge landmarks, original purple tissue guard. First page with ink ownership inscription of Master S. M. Hibberd, dated 1870; final leaf signed by Hibberd and dated "Christmas 1870." Wrappers lightly soiled with half a dozen tiny chips or wrinkles to edges, minor thumbing to a corner of the first leaf, but a well-preserved copy of an easily damaged item, the binding still bright and tight, and the leaves with their careful calligraphy remarkably clean and fresh. The neatly copied penmanship exercises in this book lack ornate flourishes, but were no doubt essential to Master Hibberd's success in life. He was a pupil at a boarding school near Sheffield, England, where young men trained for a career in business, and a neat handwriting would be a pre-requisite for employment as a clerk. The exercises here consist of writing out moral platitudes ("Beware of intemperance"; "Learning merits patronage"; "Penmanship is most desirable"), each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. Linley's school is of some interest to Dickens readers because it was thought by some to be the model for the Yorkshire school conducted by Squeers in "Nicholas Nickleby," a place where boys were ill-treated and barely fed (the novel prompted a considerable controversy about methods of public schools as a result). However, our academy was, in fact, a much more benign place, and Linley was even encouraged (but declined) to undertake libel litigation against Dickens. Someone was obviously proud of young Hibberd's accomplishments here--and probably was fond of the very handsome front cover--, as this fragile item has remained in near-original condition for almost a century and a half. Such material is very uncommonly seen on the market.
