Condición: New. A little girl falls down a rabbit hole and discovers a world of nonsensical and amusing characters.

hardcover. 6 x 9 inches. hardcover. 111 pages. Collectors and those interested in children's books will find this work fascinating as it unearths information about the first actual printing of Alice in Wonderland. Encouraged by his friends, Reverend Charles Dodgson, otherwise known as Lewis Carroll, first had Alice published by Macmillan & Co. and printed by the Clarendon Press in June 1865, arranging to have a specially bound copy delivered to Alice Liddell, the famous Alice for whom the story was spun, the next month on July 4. However, not several weeks after that, John Tenniel, the illustrator, wrote to Dodgson complaining of his dissatisfaction with the printing of his illustrations. Macmillan examined one of the unbound copies of the book and agreed to fully reprint the book using a more commercial printer from London, Richard Clay. The condemned printing was then sold to David Appleton & Co., an overseas publishing house who wanted to distribute copies of the book in America. Only 1,952 copies were sold to them of the original 2,000 copy print run. The title-pages were redone with a New York imprint dated 1866, the sheets were machine-folded and put into cloth bindings with Appleton's name on the lower spine and the new title-page substituted on a stub for the earlier one. Meanwile, Macmillan completed its new edition in November 1865, but post-dated this printing 1866 in time for the holidays. As of this writing, twenty-two copies of the original 1865 Alice are located and known to have survived with their original title-pages plus one copy presented to Christ Church Library, currently lost, by the author. This work resolves the whereabouts of Macmillan's file copy and hopefully provides a framework for future research. An excellent book which contains a wealth of information about the publication of Alice in Wonderland. Well-illustrated throughout. Carroll, Lewis (ilustrador). …

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 117 pages. Published in 1993. The author's debut play. Now considered a late-modern classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Susan Sontag's "Alice In Bed: A Play In Eight Scenes". Her first and only published play. A meditation on what it means to be a woman in the Modern Age. The subject is seen through the historically accurate portrait of its main character, Alice James, the genius-sister of Henry and William James. It was written by the author for the great Italian actress, Adrianna Asti, who commissioned Sontag to write a "challenging and unusual" theatrical role that would require her to be onstage the whole time. Sontag's utterly simple and brilliant solution: Keep her lying in bed onstage for all eight scenes, a dramatic way of capturing the predicament of Alice James, immensely talented but perennially ill, who spent most of her brief life bed-ridden. "Alice In Bed" has been staged by some of the world's greatest directors, including Robert Wilson, the cutting-edge American theatre visionary, and Ivo Van Hove, the innovative Dutch stage director, among others. Sontag's commitment to the theatre was (almost) as passionate as her devotion to films. She directed plays and opera, participated in multi-media theatrical events, wrote and narrated a pioneering documentary on Pina Bausch, the greatest European modern dance choreographer of our time, and adapted such classic plays as Henrik Ibsen's "The Lady From The Sea". An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Sontag collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Susan Sontag. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a late-modern classic. As far as we know, this is the only such title-page signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant, the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1977 for "On Photography", the National Book Award in 2000 for "In America", and the Jerusalem Prize in 2001. Shimon Peres, in awarding the Jerusalem Prize, described Sontag as "one of the world's finest writers and greatest minds". One of the most influential and important writer-intellectuals of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SUSAN SONTAG TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0374102732. Signed by Author. …

Camp 669 AKA Camp Steuben was a Civilian Conservation Corps that was in the Hiawatha National Forest in Steuben, Inwood Township, Schoolcraft County from 1933-1937. The young unemployed men were being paid to help with the reforestation and the prevention of forest fires. Only Ed's name and location were shown, unfortunately no details of the camp. There are, as might be expected, recipes: "for killing moles", "to keep windshield from freezing", "grape wine", "cheap paint", "candied apples". Interesting content.…
