Stapled. Zustand: Fair. No Jacket. First Edition. The November 1934 issue of the American Magazine. It contains most notably, complete in this issue, Point of Death, an abridged version of Fer-de-Lance - the first Nero Wolfe novel. This precedes the book publication and can arguably be asserted to be the "true first edition" of the Nero Wolfe classic. I'll leave that judgment to the bibliographers & completists. Other articles and fiction include part 2 of 6 of Beauty's Daughter, a novel by Kathleen Norris, part 4 of 6 of The Closed Room, a novel by Clarence Budington Kelland, Fellow Citizens, I Love You, poetry by Ogden Nash, The Corn Planting, an article by Sherwood Anderson, Hero Poison, an article on egos and college football by Paul Gallico, The Next Step in the New Deal, an article by Walter Lippmann, Scattergood, an Interesting People feature of Thomas J Neary, Ruralist, an Interesting People feature of Sherwood Anderson, and others. There are a number of condition issues. The cover is intact but loose from the spine. Light soiling to the covers. Light wear at the top and bottom of the spine.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. lxvii, 760 pages : illustrations ; 29 cm OCLC 52073501 This reprint of the first edition of Sweet's Catalog commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Sweet's business."--Foreword ; "In offering to the public, and especially to the architects of the United States, the first edition of Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction, the publishers have realized at the very outset the importance of stating clearly, first, what the book is, and secondly, the reasons for commending it to the architectural profession for their use and support. .to explain in a few words the character and purpose of the work, . a embodied in these first successful efforts toward a really scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction. Let the matter be looked at entirely from the point of view of the architect. For a period of a dozen years, every possible method of collecting, sorting, classifying, filing and indexing all the catalogues and circulars of building materials was conscientiously given a fair trial, and after a thorough test, every method was just as conscientiously abandoned. They were abandoned because they did not work well in the specification room. They were not practicable. Everything was tried, arrangements of shelves, bookcases, pasteboard boxes, filing cases, patent binders, filing cabinets, cases of drawers, indexing schemes and " index- rerums. " At first, all the big books were put together in one place and all the little books in another place; and then all the big and little books were mixed up together, and indexed according to subject. Some had four pages, and some had four hundred pages. Barely two were of the same shape or superficies. The little ones would not stand up, and could not be gotten at when laid flat. Another elaborate system was introduced, and a voluminous cross-index started, but the big books contained too much useless matter, and the little books got lost or mislaid or could not be found just when wanted. Then the writer decided, after much time and expense, that the present system of publishing and distributing catalogues, as far as the architect is concerned, might be rightly termed " The Catalogue Delusion, " and that the only solution of the problem must lie in a scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction, gradually developed toward an ideal result by the co-operation of manufacturer and architect. Briefly, then, what is Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction? It is a scientific catalogue book system ( a volume or series of volumes) , as easy to refer to as a dictionary, consisting of groups of catalogues from which as much unnecessary matter as possible has been eliminated, carefully indexed and cross- indexed, and sent out gratuitously by the publishers to every architect of good standing. Each catalogue in the work is organically arranged in its parts. It proceeds in a regular order from fact " A " to fact " Z " . Illustrations of a certain class are all grouped and arranged according to some obvious plan. " Literature " and " mere writing " are omitted, as an architect has no time in his office for either."; authors and compilers include Wm. Martin Aiken, Claire Allen, J. M. Baillie, Charles I.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Original typescript in red and black. Quarto. 129 leaves, rectos only. [6], 42, [1], 45, [1], 34. Inserted frontispiece is an original pen and ink drawing Signed by Fred G. Cooper with his "FGC" monogram. Bound in contemporary red cloth over boards. Worn and lightly stained, with wear on the cloth, binding is fair, internally near fine. A typescript by one of the most successful English playwrights of the era, an apparent record of the play as it was performed in New York, likely intended for presentation, probably to Van Druten, and including a page of original pen and ink sketches bound in as a frontispiece. Accompanying the typescript is a first edition of the printed version of the play (London: October 1928), which records the play as it was performed in London at The Arts Theatre Club on September 26th, 1928. The printed version shows many variations from this typescript. The form of the typescript (on fine quality laid paper, watermarked "Normandy Vellum" and "France") suggests that it was a unique copy, likely produced for presentation. The full page of sketches by Cooper, one of the 20th Century's great under-appreciated illustrators and designers (see Leslie Cabarga's excellent book, *The Lettering and Graphic Design of F.G. Cooper*) is a riot of characters and activity, hijinks and hilarity. Vignettes include a martini shaker, golf clubs, a rugby player, a black "mammy," another black servant, a burglar, a singing chorus of sad policemen, a lighthouse, the Washington Monument, an 18th Century British admiral, a butler delivering newspapers, sailors diving off a ship to save a dog, a crossword puzzle, a piece of pie, and a large central image of a tuxedoed swell playing a grand piano surrounded by two lines of music, as well as a few others. What these have to do with the play (or perhaps with Van Druten's collected works) we have yet to determine. Van Druten was an English playwright and theatre director who began his career in London, and later emigrated to America in 1939 or 1940, where he settled in California's Coachella Valley with a male companion. His 1951 play *I Am a Camera* adapted from Christopher Isherwood's short stories, *Goodbye to Berlin* was the basis for the Kander and Ebb musical, *Cabaret*. Van Druten died at Indio, California in 1957 and left his estate to his companion. This was sourced in eastern California, likely purchased from Van Druten's estate.…
