Savannah Then and Now by Stefan Sanmann and John Crowell Hardcover Book

Savannah Then and Now by Stefan Sanmann and John Crowell Hardcover Book.
Savannah: Then and Now Hardcover – January 1, 1997
by Stefan Sanmann (Author), John Crowell (Author), Jeffrey Crowell (Photographer)
Photography - 172 pages
Putting archive and contemporary photographs of the same landmark side-by-side, Savannah Then and Now is a visual chronicle of the city's past The early settlers of Savannah built their houses around a geometric street plan on a bluff above the Savannah River. They were aided by the Yamacraw tribe and their aged chief, Tomochichi, who became firm friends with Savannah's founder, Englishman James Oglethorpe, and both their names are commemorated across the city. Oglethorpe's vision for "open-space squares surrounded by the rhythmic placement of streets"would later earn Savannah the prestigious status of becoming a National Historic Landmark. Savannah boomed as the cotton trade expanded in the South, and by the mid-19th century the city was thriving as it exported cotton bales to Europe and acted as a staging post for travelers. During the Civil War, in 1864, Savannah was surrendered to General William T. Sherman following his March to the Sea, which began in Atlanta and ended in Savannah. Thankfully, General Sherman spared Savannah the torch, and the elegant Georgian residences were saved. However, it took a group of resolute Savannah ladies to preserve some of the best architecture in the city in the 1950s, as many historic buildings were scheduled for demolition. Their hard work and enterprise has helped preserve the city's architectural heritage. The book features images of some of the sites referenced in John Berendt's influential book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil such as Mercer House...

Manhattan Unfurled Book by Matteo Pericoli
Located in North Hollywood, CA
Manhattan Unfurled by Pericoli, Matteo and Goldberger, Paul
Matteo Pericoli trained as an architect in Milan and then came to work in New York in 1995. His arrival preceded by just a few days the arrival of the biggest snowstorm of the decade, and the sense of the city in its wake–especially its silence–remained in his mind. He experienced similar feeling taking photographs of Riverside Drive from the Circle Line ferry, and decided to transpose them into a line drawing. It was then that he felt compelled to photograph the whole of New York’s shoreline profile–from Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and New Jersey (which he reached by motorcycle) — and make two continuous and continuously enchanting pen-and-ink drawing of Manhattan’s skyline.
Manhattan Unfurled is published in an elegant slipcase, and the drawings fold out, accordion-style, with the West on one side and the East on the other. An introduction by distinguished New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger, who first wrote bout Matteo’s project in The New Yorker’s “Talk of the Town,” will accompany the drawing in a separate pamphlet. This book is both a wonderful New York City memento, perfect for gift giving, and an entirely unique work of art.
Hardcover, accordion style fold-out sheets in original publisher's slipcase by the artist Matteo Pericoli.
Separate pamphlet containing text by Paul Goldberger laid-in loose.

VISIONAIRE 34: Paris Hedi Slimane for Dior Homme (4994/6000) (shrink wrapped)
By Visionaire
Located in Kleinburg, ON
From the Visionaire website:
Curated by Hedi Slimane, former design director of Dior Homme, 34 PARIS is in many ways a reaction to our tendency toward the baroque – one that we had just fully indulged in the previous issue, 33 TOUCH. The issue is a testament to Hedi’s reductionist aesthetic and an exploration of a burgeoning new movement: art that has its base in architecture. To this end, architect Greg Lynn designed a lacquered gray monolith with an interior topography engineered to hold the bound book as though suspended in space. Contributors include architects Neil Denari, Andreas Angelidakis, and Dominique Perrault; video artist Chris Cunningham...

Baa Baa Black Sheep by Pappy Boyington, Signed and Inscribed, Original DJ, 1958
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Boyington, Gregory. Baa Baa Black Sheep. Fresno: Wilson Press, Inc., 1958. Twice signed and inscribed by Boyington. First edition, seventeenth printing. In the publisher’s original dust jacket, blue hardcover boards with silver titles to the spine.
This first edition, seventeenth printing of Baa Baa Black Sheep is twice signed and inscribed by Colonel Gregory “Pappy” Boyington. On the photograph, just opposite the half title page, Boyington inscribed, “Paul- your dad Jim was a great pilot and a privilege to fly with. Pappy 10/12/1980-” in black ink. On the half title page, the second inscription reads “To Paul Hill- With All The Best- Always- Pappy Boyington” and is dated “Oct. 12, 1980.” Published by Wilson Press in 1958, this book retains its original boldly colored red and green dust jacket and bright blue hardcover boards with silver embossed titles on the spine.
Col. Boyington was a Marine Corps Ace during WWII and famously commanded the legendary Black Sheep Squadron. Additionally, he was a Flying Tiger and eventually was awarded both the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross. This autobiography describes the unconventional hero and his fearless, successful leadership during the war while still maintaining his own wild and independent habits. With eight Aces in addition to Boyington and a confirmed 94 Japanese planes shot down, the Black Sheep Squadron became the most well-known Marine Corps fighter squadron of WWII. This thrilling true story of Boyington’s fall from favor and eventual recovery with his famous leadership is entertaining and well-written.
A fantastic association copy, this book was gifted in 1980 to Paul Hill, son of WWII pilot Jim Hill. Jim Hill was a pilot in the legendary Black Sheep Squadron (VMA-214), known for his combat experience and for being one of the original "plank holders" alongside Pappy Boyington.
