Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. NYC: Quantuck Lane Press, 2003. 1st edition, F/F. Book and dust jacket have very little wear. Illustrated with color photos. Originally dice were made from celluloid, the first commercial manufactured plastic. Jay collected them and enjoyed them for many…years.

Very unusual. Nice copy, 63 pp. BP.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Hardcover. 4to. Published by Quantuck Lane Press, New York. 2002. #119 of a limited edition of 250 copies signed by the late great Ricky Jay, as well as photographer Rosamond Purcell.

Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and with color pastedown and titles present to the front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Plato said God invented dice. This we learn from one of Ricky Jay's fascinating essays in a delightful small volume that takes us from the earliest forms (astragalithe heel bones of hoofed quadrupeds, four of whose six sides were used for gaming) to the myriad types of "loading" and other means of cheating with dice in the modern era. Along the way we discover that Augustus, Caligula, and Nero were all inveterate players, that Queen Elizabeth issued a search and seizure order against the manufacture of false dice in 1598, and that dice made from celluloid, invented in 1869, remained stable for decades, and thenin a flashbegan to decompose. These are the dice of Rosamond Purcell's luminous and seductive photographs, images which transform entropy to an art form. Jay and Purcell give us a dual meditation on dice that will educate us and amuse us at the same time. ; 8 X 0.5 X 8.25 inches; 64 pages.
