Soft cover. Zustand: Good (+). No Jacket. 1st ed. portrait photo tipped in verso t.p.+(4, Dedication and Preface)+123+(3, contents), June 1928 dated manuscript poem 'To Nathaniel' slipped in (+ slip of paper with medical note 'Cystopurin 3 times a day melted in water before meals' !); internally clean, tight & unmarked, foredge and bottom of text-block uncut. Printed cream card covers generally clean and tight but all edges browning, spines ends and back outer corner chipped, front printed in black and red. Divided into 11 sections each with separate red t.p. (though some have only one poem). Last dated poem is Dec. 1928, earliest from 1906. Clearly U.S. born the author seems to have lived mostly in Egypt (or Europe at least), as did her sister (the Preface is signed from 'Bulkeley, Egypt' - a neighbourhood of Alexandria - and in 1960 she published a book 'East is East'). publisher (or printer?) and date given bottom back cover. The only other copy on Abebooks is given as 1929 with unknown publisher - don't think s/he checked it properly! The ms. poem is clearly by the author, however she had died (14th Jan.1929) before the book was published so can only speculate that it was slipped in by her sister. There is an obituary in the Kansas City Star of 20th Jan. Note: text on some of images appears less than clear - this is a fault with photo - think my mobile camera is not quite up to it - actually perfectly okay.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good - Original. FIRST EDITION & FIRST PRINTING. Jenny James, born 1942 [aged 83 now] founded The Atlantis Commune in London as a "radical primal commune" based on the principles of Reichian, or "Primal Scream", therapy in 1970. In 1974 they moved the established Atlantis Commune to a three-storey house in Burtonport, a village in The Rosses district in the west of County Donegal, in 1974. The name 'Atlantis' came from Burtonport's location on the Atlantic coast and from the legend of Atlantis. At any one time, around thirty people lived in the commune in "Atlantis House", which was brightly decorated, with eyes around the windows and symbols on the walls.Begins on Inner Front prelim [of the dustjacket]: This is a book about men in bed: what they are like, what they could be like and how they can sort out what's wrong with them if they care to. etc. Condition & Description of the book: The original dustjacket houses this amazingly rare book. Priced on front prelim at £7.95 In a great condition. Boards are red cloth with gold/gilt lettering to the spine this is in an amazing condition. Boards are clean and firmly bound to the page block. There are 259 pages and these are all clean and tightly bound. TWO BONUS ITEMS. BONUS ITEM ONE: There is a type-written letter from Jenny James to Spare Rib. N.B. The feminist magazine Spare Rib ran from 1972 to 1993. It set out to re-define what it was to be a woman in 20th century Britain. First page states: Please find a review copy of MALE SEXUALITY : THE ATLANTIS POSITION enclosed : publication date the 22nd August. Copies of any reviews would be appreciated. Second page is the letter A LETTER FROM JENNY JAMES TO SPARE RIB: Dear Spare Rib, You have sent me your magazine and I have read it cover to cover and with the exception of one brave and sensitive article, I feel sickened and depressed. What makes me ill is the way you externalize and disown your own problems as women by blaming them on the other half of humanity. Women coming to consciousness of their situation is exciting if it instils them with the energy and confidence to stand up and take charge of their lives ; but if you encourage them to blame men for all their ills, and to piss away energy on such pathetic pursuits as uncovering obscure female artists in the national Gallery (instead of going off and painting pictures), then the women's liberation movement has no-one but itself to blame for the ridicule to which it is often subject. What moves me to write to you, the straw that breaks my back, is your 'Baby Blues' page. You print, "I battered my baby's head against the wall repeatedly, and it wasn't until we got him to hospital that we realized he was dead", with precious little comment except the weak suggestion of setting up a 'Depressives Anonymous'. [there are a further three chapters to this letter]. N.B. - Jenny James was actually advertising her Primal Scream therapy in Spare Rib 10 years prior to writing this letter to Spare Rib. - BONUS ITEM TWO: A SUMMARY BIOGRAPHY OF JENNY JAMES: Jenny James was born in 1942 in Dartford Kent and lived in the same street as the pop singer Mick Jagger. After the suicide of a friend in the late 1960's, Jenny ended her work in the peace movement and decided to qualify as a psychotherapist. She underwent training therapy with the leading Reichian therapist David Boadella [she wrote up her experience of this in ROOM TO BREATHE, first published in 1974], and subsequently helped to co-founder the anti-psychiatry movement, PEOPLE NOT PSYCHIATRY. There are another 5 paragraphs to this summary which ends with: It is no accident that it is the Male Chauvinist Pig who is the most favoured of the twenty-eight categories of male character types that Jenny employs in her new book: MALE SEXUALITY : THE ATLANTIS POSITION. The summary ends with colourful predictions from Jenny James as to what some reviews of her book may be. - Overall, this collection is unique, interesting with a great historical viewpoint. - END - Rapid Dispatch.…

Zustand: Very good. - An original 8-3/4 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide matte finish black & white photograph by the American celebrity photographer Fred Hartsook. The image portrays the young Dorothy Gish seated in front of a smoky studio background with fog rising from a lake. The young actress is attired in a formal white gown with a corsage. Her hands demurely rest in her lap. Signed diagonally "Sincerely / Dorothy E. Gish" in black ink within the flowing white gown. The photographer's signature is printed at lower left of the image. There is a very light vertical crease along the top. The portrait is mounted within a double mat with archival tape along the top and bottom edges of the verso. There are stains on the verso from earlier tape along the top corners and center of the bottom edge. A beautiful signed photograph. The American screen & stage actress Dorothy Elizabeth Gish (1898-1968) was also a director and writer. She made her stage debut in the stage adaptation of Ellen Wood's novel "East Lynne" at the tender age of 4. In the Spring of 1912, Mary Pickford introduced Dorothy and her older sister Lillian Gish to the American film director D.W. Griffith who took them on to perform as extras at his Biograph Studios. They so impressed Griffith that he took them to California with him to work on some of the films he was shooting.The American photographer Fred Hartsook (1876-1930) was the owner of a California Studio chain which was considered by some to be the largest photographic business in the world. Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh and President Woodrow Wilson were among Hartsook's celebrity clients, as well as Mary Pickford who had introduced the Gish sisters to D.W. Griffith.…
