Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 163 pages. Published in 2005. The author's second novel. Stanley Bennett Clay's finest achievement. 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 Stanley Bennett Clay's "In Search of Pretty Young Black Men". His erotic thriller. "An engaging novel that will have readers caught up from page one. Stanley Bennett Clay has a poetic way with words, and the erotic scenes are as steamy as they come. A lust-laced hallelujah" (Zane). Stanley Bennett Clay is best-known as a screenwriter and playwright. He adapted both "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" and "Looking For God" to enormous critical acclaim. His debut novel, "Diva", was a surprise bestseller. "In Search of Pretty Young Black Men" is his book on his adopted city, Los Angeles, where he has pretty much lived most of his writing life. It opens with a poignant quote from W. E. B. Dubois: "Los Angeles is wonderful. Nowhere in the United States is the Negro so well and beautifully housed nor the average efficiency and intelligence in the colored population so high. Out here, there would seem to be no limit to your opportunities, your possibilites" (W. E. B. Dubois). Clay depicts Los Angeles as few others have: He does not leave out any of the steamiest, sleaziest, and dirtiest details, and the all-consuming American Dream that has always driven them. Anyone who wants to understand the sex appeal of the Black Stud to white women, black women, and white men should read this "unputdownable" book. Anyone who simply wants a good read, ditto. An absolute "must-have" title for Stanley Bennett Clay collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Stanley Bennett Clay. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Bennett Clay's signature is one of the most elaborately beautiful we have ever seen. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still 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 scarce signed copy thus.

Text block remains firm. Uncommon antebellum Alabama imprint by Tuscaloosa, Alabama printer Marmaduke J. Slade (ca.1807-1857) who was also publisher of the "Tuscaloosa Monitor" newspaper. Born in Warren County, North Carolina, Slade learned his trade from Raleigh printer Joseph Gales, Sr. and moved to Georgia circa 1830 where he published newspapers initially in Macon from 1831-1832 and then in Milledgeville from 1833-1834. Slade moved to Tuscaloosa circa 1835-36 as his oldest surviving imprint is a University of Alabama baccalaureate address by Alva Woods in December 1836 for the school's fifth annual commencement; Slade's Tuskaloosa (the contemporary preferred spelling) imprints apparently terminate in 1847 with OCLC only citing documents involving Slade post-1850. An attorney, judge, and politician, compiler Clement Comer Clay (1789-1866) was the eighth Governor of Alabama (1835-1837) and also served in the state legislature (1827-1828), the U.S. House of Representatives (1829-1835), and the U.S. Senate (1837-1841). Clay's son, Clement Claiborne Clay (1816-1882), also served as a U.S. Senator from 1853-1861 thereafter being a Confederate States Senator from Alabama from 1862-1864.

Hardcover. Condición: very good(+). First Edition. Large quarto in dark blue title-stamped cloth; 598 pages illustrations 27 cm; folding maps, color plates b&w photos; adverts, indexes. In Chinese. Rare. WorldCat locates but one copy. | This 1960 San Francisco volume commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Young China (??????), a youth-centered nationalist periodical and organization founded in 1910 amid the reformist and revolutionary currents leading to the fall of the Qing. Rooted in late?Qing and early Republican political culture, Young China promoted moral regeneration, national revival, and resistance to foreign domination, framing ?youth? as the ethical vanguard of China?s future. Its survival and rebirth in the overseas Chinese world reflect the continuity of this ideology beyond the mainland.In a Taiwanese and ?migr? context, the book is significant as a diasporic archive of Chinese republican memory, maintained abroad during periods of rupture on both the mainland and the island. Produced in a limited, non-commercial print run and distributed within overseas Chinese networks, thi slarge illustrated volume functions less as a celebratory souvenir than as an assertion of historical legitimacy and political lineage. An important document of how Taiwanese-linked ?migr? communities in 1960 understood themselves as custodians of a revolutionary tradition originating in 1910 and carried forward in exile.| Chinese California, Chinese, Chinese California, Chinois Californie Chinese, Young China, San Francisco.

Broadside, 21.5 x 24.5 cm. One corner torn away and tear in blank center portion of text.This Missouri handbill advertises a community meeting at which then Governor Thomas Fletcher and Henry Taylor Blow, then a U.S. Representative would attend in Liberty, Missouri, on May 15, 1865. It states that the governor and congressman "will positively be in Liberty on Monday next (the 15th May) and will address the people of Clay County. Gov. F. hopes to meet as many of the people as can possibly attend, and it is hoped all who can, will be present, as the [sic- crossed out] he will address them on matters of vital public interest." Thomas Clement Fletcher (1827-1899) was the first native-born Missourian to serve as governor. A lawyer by occupation, he was appointed Assistant Provost Marshal General in St. Louis in 1861; serving in combat, he was wounded and imprisoned in Libby Prison until 1863. He also commanded the infantry in the Battle of Pilot Knob. After his 1864 election as governor, Fletcher issued an Emancipation Proclamation (11 January 1865) which freed all Missouri slaves nearly a year before the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. Fletcher was very sensitive to the issues of slavery and racial inequality and some of his political priorities as governor included the education of free black children, compensation for emancipated slaves, black suffrage, and the reduction racial crimes. Henry Blow (1817-1875) was born in Southampton County, Virginia. He was elected to the Missouri State Senate as a Republican in 1854, and then to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1863. He acted as the U.S. ambassadorial minister to Brazil in 1869-1870 before his death in Saratoga, New York, in 1875. As this meeting took place within a month of the end of the war, we presume it had to do with Reconstruction issues.…

An elegant silk broadside printing the text of Henry Clay's farewell speech, resigning his position in Congress. Clay (1777-1852) represented Kentucky in the Senate for many years, first elected in 1806. His lengthy and important political career included Secretary of State and Speaker of the House, and several presidential bids. He was key in formulating the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850, issues relative to slavery and statehood. Though he states that he is retiring from the Senate "forever," Clay would return to serve a final term from 1849 until his death in 1852. Light wear at edges, some light soiling. Small tear minutely affecting a few letters of text. Very good. In a cloth folder. …

Lithograph, 10.25" x 12" plus margins. CONDITION: Good, narrow margins, upper margin expertly extended, lightly soiled, paper pulp reinforcements on verso. A rare and anonymously-produced political cartoon attacking Henry Clay's duplicitous position on slavery, the issue that was at the fulcrum of so many political, moral, and legal conflicts in antebellum America. Clay, at the time a Senator from Kentucky and one of the country's most popular politicians, grew infamous for his attempts to play both sides of the slavery issue.This cartoon takes the opportunity of one of his 1839 Senate speeches to skewer his views on slavery as he angled for another presidential nomination.The text points out the hypocrisy and contradictions in his words and attitudes.Audiences above the Mason-Dixon Line hear Clay proclaim: "I consider Slavery as a Curse, a curse to the Master and a grievous wrong to the Slave," insisting he was "no friend to slavery," while those in the South are assured that as an owner of three-score humans he "will continue to oppose any scheme, whatever, of emancipation, gradual or immediate."The text also points out his contradictory views on dueling.An illustration of Mason & Dixon's Line separates his views on slavery.South Carolina's John Calhoun who, with Clay, was two-thirds of the Senate's "Great Triumvirate," and was the country's most prominent slavery advocate, shakes Clay's hand and promises his support.He assures Clay that abandoning his "'folly & delusion' about liberty" and endorsing slavery as the "'most safe & stable basis for free institutions'" will also secure South Carolina's support in his next presidential run: "you shall be made President for life." Both men are mindlessly standing with one foot upon a prone enslaved man. In addition, Clay stands upon a torn portion of a Kentucky Convention Bill (likely addressing the issue of fugitive slaves), and Calhoun's left foot stands on a torn part of a memorials and resolutions from Vermont and Massachusetts affirming that "All men are created equal and entitled to liberty &c.'" The afflicted and enslaved African-American man on which they trample to the viewer, in a quote from the Old Testament Book of Micah (7:8, relating to the rise of Israel): "Rejoice not against me O mine enemy when I fall; I shall arise." Though this print bears no publication information, the style and substance point toward the work of H.R. Robinson of New York, who produced a number of sharp political attacks in the form of satirical prints in the 1830s. Not in Reilly.
