Clay, Bertha M. Thorn in Her Heart
Cleveland Ohio Arthur Westbrook Co. N.D. Softcover Good with no dust jacket
Condition is fair to good, with chips and creases on the front, badly toned cheap paper inside. However, the binding is still secure and the paper fairly supple. ; The all Star Series; Vol. 44; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 247, 4pp ads pages; This dime novel was probably written by Charlotte M. Brame, an English writer of, as one critic put it, "mushy love stories for the English lower classes." She lived from 1836-1884. Her work was widely published, often pirated, by American publishers. This novel is from a series published by Arthur Westbrook called The All Star Series. On the back of the book is a list of books in Westbrook's The Hart Series. In this series she's listed as Charlotte M. Brame. Of course, since the Clay name was used by some publishers as a house name after her death, Thorn in Her Heart may not be by her!

Climenhaga, Zoe Letter to David Meltzer of City Lights Books, Typed on Kenneth Patchen Card with Poem and Drawing by Patchen
Palo Alto Patchen Cards 1962 Non-Book Very Good with no dust jacket Illustrated by Kenneth Patchen Signed by Author
Light wear from handling. Periods typed on the folded card have left small indented dots on both front and back of the card. ; Letters; B&W Drawing; Thin 8vo 8" to 9" tall; Joel and Zoe Climenhaga, according to Miriam Patchen "Knew Kenneth Patchen's work better than anyone". In 1961 they originated TRANSIENT PRESS, when they published the first issue of Seed, a poetry magazine, under its imprint. Zoe Clinenhaga was its Co-Editor. During the greater part of the 1960's, other magazines (Jacaranda, Ferment, Rananim and Open Letter) were published through Transient Press. Later, during the 1970's and 1980's, other ephemeral poetry magazines and literary journals were published on an irregular basis under the editorship of the Climenhagas, these included Awakening, The Back Shelf Dispatch, Below Ground Level, Counsel for the Offense, Foundation, Greenage, Inner Dimension, Jonah's Gourd, Lighthouse in the Coming Storm, Noah and a variety of others. This letter was written to David Meltzer by Zoe complaining about his critique of material that Joel had sent him to read. Meltzer, an American poet and musician of the Beat Generation and San Francisco Renaissance, came to prominence with inclusion of his work in the anthology The New American Poetry 1945-1960. The note is typed on a single fold, 8 by 5" card published by Patchen Cards, with a poem and drawing by Patchen on it. This is an interesting little piece of Beat ephemera. ; Signed by Author

Cohan, George M. A Prince There Never Was (Playbill, 1920) Presented by the Chattanooga Rotary Club
1920 Program Fair
Cover is present but detached, large piece missing at top right corner, paper is toned and there is some light foxing on the first few pages, wear to the edges. However, the interior pages are clean and still stapled . ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 80 pages; To describe this as a program or playbill isn't really accurate. Except for the page that lists the actors and a double page of their pictures, this is a booklet of ads with a few pages of Rotary Club information. It is a fascinating look at business in Chattanooga, Tennesee in 1920. This was the fourth charity production that the Rotary Club had presented at the Bijou Theatre in downtown Chattanooga.

Colleton County Council Of Farm Women What's Cookin'? In Colleton County, S. C.
Kansas City Bev-Ron Publishing Co. 1948 First Edition (?) Spiral bound Good+ with no dust jacket
This cookbook has been well used. The corners are rounded and creased, wear on the edges and along the comb binding, some small chips and tearss, some light foxing and toning and wear to edges of the pages. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 94 + index pages; Local cookbooks are not only fun to read, they also contain those passed around recipes that show up at every church dinner. This one compiled by the Women's Society of Christian Service of the Cottageville, South Carolina Methodist Church hits all the right notes - heavy on the Jello and frozen fruit salads, lots of desserts, homemade pickles, every manner of casseroles. This one has a wonderful added bonus, an 18 day reducing diet that allows you 1/2 head of lettuce at nearly every lunch and dinner, lots of lamb chops and steak, but very little chicken and fish, bushels of grapefruit and melba toast. If you eat out most of the time, there is a 1000 calorie a day "Soda Fountain and Restaurant Diet." The best thing about this diet is the 2 servings of ice cream (400 calories) every day! There's also a weight gaining diet, but there's a distinct lack of ice cream on it. We also have a similar cook book from Cottageville, SC, Cottageville's Favorite Recipes
