First edition. Original boards, 8vo, 173 pages. 24 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates as "A Cup of Comfort." Book of Jewish ethics by Chief Rabbi of Czestochowa, published in 1933. The book proclaims that all of the modern misfortunes of the Jewish diaspora are not chance but are actually foretold in the Torah and attempts to bring comfort to readers by asserting that the Jewish future is also assured in the same religious sources. Notable, of course, is that this book concerning the misfortunes of the Jews is published in the year of Hitler's ascendency, 1933. "[Ash] was born into a religious Jewish family from Grodzisk near Warsaw. After graduating from Talmudic schools, he became a rabbi in Nieszawa, and since 1889 he worked in Czestochowa, where he performed the function of the rabbi with great commitment for over 40 years. He participated in patriotic ceremonies and maintained good relations with the bishop of Czestochowa, Teodor Kubina. He was also the rabbi of the Polish army garrison stationed in Czestochowa. He spoke out against almsgiving, suggesting to instead give loans to those in need. He was a member of the Zionist-religious Mizrachi organisation and charities Keren ha-Yesod and Keren Kayemet le-Israel. In 1935, he published a dissertation entitled In Defence of Ritual Slaughter, which was a voice in the discussion about the slaughter of animals and birds by Jews. The second edition of the book was distributed among all deputies of the Sejm [Polish Congress]. . During a service held in the synagogue on the anniversary of Jozef Pilsudski's death, the rabbi had a heart attack and died a few hours later. He was buried at the Jewish cemetery in Czestochowa."

Second edition (1st edition is Leeds, 1900). Original paper wrappers, small 8vo, 24 pages. 17 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as "Who Introduced Yom Kippur, and, Where Does the Torah Come From?" Rare pamphlet of two anti-religious essays by socialist and atheist writer Benjamin Feigenbaum. Benjamin Feigenbaum was a "Yiddish journalist, essayist, editor, and pamphleteer. Born in Warsaw, the son of Hasidic parents, he rejected the religious traditions in which he had been brought up and developed into a militant atheist and agitator for socialism. Leaving home, he proceeded in 1884 to Antwerp, in 1887 to London, where he wrote for Yiddish and Hebrew periodicals and published pamphlets on socialism, reaching the United States in 1891. In America, he joined the United Hebrew Trades, writing tracts to win the support of Jewish laborers for socialism and atheism. He also wrote for the Forverts and Arbeter-Tsaytung, and for the literary monthly Tsukunft, of which he was editor for a time. He wrote his essays under several pseudonyms including Shabbes, Shabsovitch, and Sh. Peshes. In 1900 he became general secretary of the newly formed Arbeter Ring (Workmen's Circle), which he established firmly before resigning in 1903. In 1909 he served as chairman of the mass meeting which sanctioned the general strike of the waist and dress trade, the so-called "uprising of 20,000" (Dubofsky & Miller in EJ, 2007). OCLC: 19313686.

Good. Exhibits wear and slight loss along original fold lines and at some fold intersections. Closed margin tears professionally repaired on verso. Verso repairs to fold separations. Blank on verso. Size 27.25 x 36.25 Inches. This is a 1966 Civic Education Service pictorial map of China, more specifically 'Communist China'. Created just before U.S.-China relations began thawing in the 1970s, the entirety of China is shaded red, the color most associated with Communism. Pictorial vignettes highlight Chinese industry, with particular interest paid to mining and manufacturing. Chinese progress in the realm of nuclear weapons is also prominently noted. An illustration of an atom marks industrial plants suspected of making the plutonium necessary in the development of these weapons, and a mushroom cloud, the most infamous image associated with nuclear weapons, marks the nuclear test site near Lop Nor. Icons of soldiers, situated throughout China and all of the surrounding countries, reinforce the tense military situation in the region. Short texts also explain that Soviet and Chinese forces had clashed along the border separating the two countries, as have Chinese and Indian troops along their mutual border. 'U.S. and other anti-Communist forces', essential to the American policy of 'containment' are stationed in Thailand, South Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Japan. A text box entitled 'Nation Wrapped in Conflict' provides details for the viewer about the population and geography of China, as well as the economic, military, and diplomatic situation in China. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Civic Education Service in 1966. The OCLC records examples of this map as being part of the institutional collection at Cornell University. An example is also part of the David Rumsey Map Collection. References: Rumsey 9521.000.

Very good. Original linen backing. A few minor spots. Size 41 x 63 Inches. A spectacular 1952 Jean Boys pictorial wall map of the United States celebrating American literature. A Closer Look The map covers the United States from Coast to Coast, with insets of 'Bret Harte Country' California, New Orleans, and Lower Manhattan. Vignettes highlight important authors and locations from literature, generally accompanied by the author's name and the book in question. The most interesting, to us, include Brer Rabbit on the Savannah River, Booker T. Washington in Tuskegee, and Wizard of Oz characters in South Dakota, among many others. Green banners add additional content regarding areas that are off the map or just too dense to feature more general illustrations: Alaska, Harlem, Mexico, etc. Several important trans-continental routes, well referenced in literature, are noted and keyed to a legend in the lower left. The whole is surrounded by a mid-century style border, with unnamed portraits of literary heroes in each corner. Publication History and Census This map was compiled by Henry J Firley and illustrated by Jean Boys. It was published in Chicago by the educational publishing firm Denoyer-Geppert. OCLC records editions in 1952 (as here) and 1961, suggesting this is the first edition. We note 12 holdings of various editions in OCLC, and no history on the private market.
