Seller ID: 3768

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Fine condition

Crisp, clean booklet which is not often seen. The only defect is a black line through the printed price at the reserve side of both covers. The cover design is quite nice as are the small images in the text. The booklet measures 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" and has 31 pristine pages with no names or writing. The sentence that jumped out to me from this booklet is this one: "For within the heart of the black community in America there exists today a set of agonies which apparently are part of the necessary inheritance of any community that has been engaged in prolonged struggles for radical change, true fre...

This one looks like a plain Jane, but if you're interested in the great American author, William Faulkner, this would definitely be interesting, especially if you collect Faulkner. The book is clean and tightly bound and measures 7"x10" with 111 pages. Only fault is a small abrasion to upper front corner of cover. The author explores Faulkner's presentation of Black characters in his work by showing how he followed a moral compass.

Price: $15.00

Publisher: Los Angeles, California, W.E.B. Du Bois Club: 1965

Seller ID: 4043

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very Good

This small plain Jane booklet could easily be passed by. I almost did it myself until I remembered that the title "The Fire This Time" was the name of an important book by James Baldwin. W.E. B. du Bois was also many things -- an educator, an orator, a write, and a Civil Rights activist. The booklet measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and has 14 pages. It's not commonly found, but is an important look at the looting and burning in L.A. in the 60's. The text covers why the eruption happened; a guide to race relations for police officers; solutions from the white power structure; solutions from some who wa...

Seller ID: 4030

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Fine condition

So crisp and bright I could barely believe this magazine and its many issues could be over 40 years old. This is the first one I picked up and thought for sure it was the best. We'll have to see, but check out the articles here and see what you think -- The Architectural Legacy of Guy Tilden of Canton, Ohio; the Philosophy of Charles G. Finney; Politics and Repeal of Ohio's Black Laws 1837-1849; John Sherman and the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson; Lawyer as Lobbies; President Hayes and the Reform of American Indian Policy; A Young Woman in the Midwest, The Journal of Mary Sears 1859-1860.

Rolling Stone Magazine May, 1992 (Tom Cruise Cover)

By: Wenner, Jann S.

Price: $14.95

Publisher: New York, Straight Arrow Publishers Inc.: 1992

Seller ID: 2450

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very good condition

Very nice clean magazine with no mailing label. It's tightly bound with no creasing and is clean inside and out. Yhe only defect is a snip off the lower front corner of the front page. It's almost misleading because the next page fills in the color at first glance. The main article and photos focus on Tom Cruise, but the other interesting interview is with Noam Chomsky, "An American Radical". Among other story subjects are the Beastie Boys, Wynona Judd, Johnny Carson, and the media's running away from race issues. magazine measures 10" x 12" and has 75 pages.
