By Isamu Noguchi
Located in London, GB
First Edition, published by Seagull Books, Sussex, England 1992.

This truly amazing book, published to accompany an exhibition at the International Center of Photography in New York, collects the fashion work of legendary photographer William Klein.

Trouble and Strife, David Bailey, J.H. Lartigue, 1st Edition, T&H, 1980
By David Bailey
Located in London, GB
First Edition, published by Thames & Hudson, London, 1980.
Best known for his portraiture and fashion photographs of 1960s London, which shaped how this period is remembered and envisaged, David Bailey turns in this book to a more personal subject for a selection of brilliantly creative, playful and devoted photographs of his then-wife, Marie Helvin. With 81 plates, beautifully printed in duotone, these black and white, intimate, nude photographs are stylish, sensual and frank records of a relationship; diaristic and taken with the care that shows them to be, as Bailey says of them, "photographs I take for myself". Easily standing among Bailey's best work, this photobook has an introduction from the artist Brian Clarke...

Christie's Part I & II, Childwick Bury, Objects, Fine French & English Furniture
Located in valatie, NY
Christie's Part I & II, Childwick Bury, St. Albans, Hertfordshire Objects of Art, Fine French and Important English Furniture. Christie's May 15, 1978. 1345 Lots with B&W photos with estimates and descriptions. Childwickbury Manor is a manor house in the hamlet of Childwickbury, Hertfordshire, England, between St Albans and Harpenden. The Lomax family bought the house in 1666 and lived there until 1854 when Joshua Lomax sold it to Henry Hayman Toulmin, a wealthy ship owner, High Sheriff of Hertfordshire and mayor of St Albans. Toulmin left the property to Sir John Blundell Maple around 20 years later. Toulmin's granddaughter, the author Mary Carbery, was born at the house. Sir John Blundell Maple, 1st Baronet bred and raced thoroughbreds and built Childwickbury Stud into a very successful horse breeding operation. Another prominent racehorse owner, Jack Barnato Joel, bought the estate including the stud farm in 1906. On his death in 1940, his son Jim Joel took over the operation. He too became a successful racehorse owner and breeder and maintained the property until 1978 when the stud and the manor were sold separately. Film director Stanley Kubrick bought the manor in 1978. He used the estate as both a home and a nerve centre for his film productions. He lived there until his death in 1999 and is interred in its grounds together with his eldest daughter Anya Kubrick, who died in 2009. His widow, Christiane Kubrick...

Christopher Milne. Enchanted Places, 1st Ed Inscribed by Milne & His Nanny, 1974
Located in Hillsborough, NJ
AUTHOR: MILNE, Christopher.
TITLE: The Enchanted Places.
PUBLISHER: London: Eyre Methuen, 1974.
DESCRIPTION: FIRST EDITION INSCRIBED BY MILNE AND SIGNED BY HIS NANNY. 1 vol., hardcover, illustrated, inscribed by Milne on the front blank endleaf "- Birthday Morning 1975 - but also to remember the one of forty years ago, sun shining through a window in St. John Street & lighting a vase of daffodils on a little blue table & to remember to happy days of Christopher Robin & Pooh - & to remember -", under that signed by Christopher's Nanny (Olive Christine Rand Brockwell) "Always Old Nanny XXX XX X", bookplate to half-title additionally signed by Milne "A Favorite Friend", with the original DJ, not price clipped, FINE/NEAR FINE.
Additionally, tipped to the front pastedown is an envelope in Milne's hand addressed to a Miss Elizabeth (Campbell) Hiskins containing a 2-page letter on Harbour Bookshop letterhead dated 28-2-75 which reads "How very nice of you to write to me: a letter like that couldn't possibly be a wol (sic). It made me very happy to think that I had helped make your birthday an enjoyable one. Yes, I have had a number of letters, many of the writers finding that the book awakened happy childhood memories, even though their own lives had been very different from mine. Often - as in your case - a common bond had been our skymen. I remember Michael and Geraldine well. So if you do ever see them again, please give them my best wishes. Yours sincerely Christopher Milne"
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The "Harbour Bookshop" was the bookstore owned and run by Milne and his daughter Clare who was diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy.
Milne remained close to his Nanny all his life. This book "The Enchanted Places" is dedicated to her. Olive was born on 2/23/1895 and died in 1978. Milne's reply letter to Elizabeth is dated 2/28/75. It's interesting to think that Milne would have asked Olive, quite possibly on her 80th birthday, to sign a copy of this book that he was giving as a birthday present. We know of no other book signed by Olive...

British Textile Design, V&A, London, 1980, Gakken, Tokyo, 3 Volumes
Located in San Francisco, CA
A very rare set of three folio size books on the textile collection at the
Victoria and Albert Museum. The books are in linen with gilded letters
in Japanese on the spine, each book in its original slip cover, all in very
good condition. Some minor stains on one slip cover.
The books are printed by Gakken, Tokyo 1980 in English and Japanese.
A fabulous reference set for Textile Designers.
Volume 1, Middle Ages to Rococo (1200 – 1750).
Volume 2, Rococo to Victorian (1750 – 1850).
Volume 3, Victorian to Modern (1850 – 1940).
Each volume contains approx. 285pp and 250 color illustrations. These volumes are an invaluable record of over 700 masterworks of textile design, housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Volume I deals with the gold embroidery for which England was famous
in the middle ages, and which is magnificently represented in the Museum.
Some of the best examples were acquired in the early years at South
Kensington, in the 1860's, but important aquisitions continued in the late
19th and early 20th century and several notable purchases have been made
during the past 50 years.
This section is followed by sections on embroidery from the 16th century
to 1750.
The second volume of the series will deal mainly with woven and printed
textiles from the Rococo to the early Victorian period, 1750 to 1850.
The most significant acquisitions from this period have been made
in the last 25 years. It is only recently that is has become possible to
make and adequate assessment of the development of British textiles...
