Dragon's Dream, [1982]. First thus. Hardback with pictorial dustjacket. ISBN 9063327315. 158 pages. 288x217x14mm. Dustjacket rubbed with small tears.
The sun has gone mad and stripped the earth of its ionosphere. For decades blasting radiation has poured upon earth, melting the polar caps and turning permafrost into streams, rivers, oceans. Huge deltas have been built, lakes formed, seas have risen. The continents have been entirely altered. Jungles have crept and then rushed from the equator to Greenland. Siberia is a tropical nightmare. Mosquitoes the size of dragonflies carry horrendous new malarias. Mammals are on their way out, and iguanas have grown as large as horses. Ferns and clubmosses smother those part of ancient cities - New York, Berlin, Moscow, Peking - that are not drowned and offering steaming shelter to gigantic alligators and other saurians. As for humanity, well, there are only 5 million men and women left, living in the sub-tropical confinement of the Arctic and Antarctic circles.
It is as if history were rolled backward, as if the Triassic Age were here again. Man's science is useless against the solar furnace. And man's mind? Is that also slipping backward, far backward, to before the apes, to order the mammels, to the Triassic terror itself?
This novel - written in lucid, convincing, matter-of-fact prose - is both fierce and unsensational. It has a compelling authority which grips the reader at once and keeps him in its power long after the book is read. This is an unforgettable work.

More on John Tebbutt is here:
Set in the 1920s, this poignant novel portrays a disillusioned veteran of World War I who abandons his wealthy friends and lifestyle, traveling throughout Europe and to India seeking enlightenment. The story's themes of Eastern mysticism and war-weariness struck a chord with readers as World War II waned. It was quickly adapted as a movie.
Written by W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965), an English playwright, novelist and short story writer considered one of the best authors of the 20th century. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest paid author during the 1930s.

First edition, with "First Published in April 1939" on copyright page and first edition notice on front flap of dust jacket. 8vo., publisher's heavy grain decorated beige cloth. A near fine copy in like dustjacket, bright, clean and fresh. Housed in a tailor made leather spined case. Inscribed by the author to the front flyleaf:
"For Jules and Joyce and also Joan with love John Steinbeck."
Beneath the signature is one of Steinbeck's irreverent flying pig sketches (or "Pigasus" if you prefer), generally an indication that the recipient of his presentation was a close and valued friend,or someone he held in high esteem. In this case it was Jules Buck, and Joyce Gates, with their young daughter, Joan. Jules Buck started out as John Huston's camerman for his wartime documentaries (”Winning Your Wings", "Let There Be Light" etc.) and then grew into an influential producer, both in the US and abroad. Although having a sketchy working relationship with Huston, they reportedly fell out over Huston's anti-Semitic behaviour (Huston later referred to Buck as "My body servant" which is obviously super healthy). He collaborated with Steinbeck on the screenplay of what would end up as Elia Kazan's "Viva Zapata", although uncredited, and later produced "The Killers", "The Naked City" etc. before shifting to Europe to escape the Hollywood witch hunts, founding a production company with Peter O'Toole (Keep Films) and producing such wonders as "Under Milk Wood", "The Day They Robbed The Bank of England", "Lord Jim" and "What's New Pussycat" Joyce Gates was an actress in various small, often uncredited, roles in movies like "Kismet", and their daughter Joan is a notable journalist, writer, and all round renaissance woman by all accounts; at one point the London correspondent for Warhol's "Interview" magazine, the only American to have been editor-in-chief of French Vogue, and the subject of Tom Wolfe's "The Life and Hard Times of a Teenage London Society Girl.", later published in "The Pump House Gang." She started studying acting in 2002, and appeared in Nora Ephron's "Julie and Julia", later writing about the experience of auditioning for Ephron. She fell from grace after Vogue published a decidedly lightweight and grievously ill timed interview with Asma al-Assad, wife of Bashar al-Assad. Frankly they seem fascinating, but basically the point is that Steinbeck knew them very well, and liked them, and inscribed his sad, slow, strange, dust-bowl novel to them. A really gorgeous and interesting association copy of an undeniably great book.

The Spectre Archives, volume 1, the first cover I mocked up. This solves my biggest pet peeves about the series:
•Number one, the dustjacket is gone – because of the binding on these books, it was always almost impossible to read them with the dustjacket on. Dustjackets are pretty hoary anyway, I like hardcover books without them better than with.
•Number two, the pinstripes and triangle background are gone, replaced with an art-forward design – images from the volumes (ideally with a more realistic coloring job reminiscent of the source material, but that’s a whole other steez) occupy the cover, giving them the attention they deserve. No one’s buying this series because of the pinstrips, y’know…
•Creator credits! Obviously, there would have to be a story-by-story extension of the creator credits inside the book, and something would have to be done about books with more than, say, three creators, but I approach those on subsequent covers.

J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere was born in 1930, in Ovbiomu-Emai in south-western Nigeria. At the age of twenty, he bought himself a modest Brownie camera on the advice of a neighbor who taught him the rudiments of photography.
In 1951, he regularly wrote the same letter to the Ministry of Information. "I would be very grateful if you would agree to employ me in your Department of Photography ...." Two years later, his persistence gained him a job as a darkroom assistant. In 1961, he became a studio photographer for the first African television station. The proud and motivated young team, directed by the Nigerian jazz musician Steve Rhodes, lived through an exceptional experience at the dawn of decolonization. Known for his seriousness, the young Ojeikere was approached by West Africa Publicity, where he worked from 1963 until 1975, the year he set up his own studio: Foto Ojeikere.
Since 1967, he has been a member of the Nigeria Art Council, which organizes festivals of visual and living arts. During a festival in 1968, he took his first photographs devoted to Nigerian culture with his 6 x 6cm Rolleiflex, always in black and white. From then on, for a period of thrity years now, he has travelled throughout the country in pursuit of his subjects, which are organized by theme. Consisting of almost a thousand shots, Hairstyles is his most rigorous and the most considerable series. "It is fascinating to watch a 'hair artist' make all these precise movements, as would an artist making sculpture. Hairstyles are a form of art." Ojeikere photographs them every day - in the street, at work, at parties - and systematically: from behind, sometimes in profile, and, more rarely, from the front. A frontal photograph shows nothing, the ones from behind are almost abstract and better reveal the sculptural aspect of hairstyles. Shots from different angles reveal the structures." With his Hairstyles, Ojeikere has embarked upon an infinite series, since the styles constantly evolve with fashion." All these hairstyles are ephemeral and I want my photographs to be memorable traces of them. I have always wnated to record moments of beauty, moments of knowledge. Art is life. With art, life would be frozen."
At first glance this portrait might seem poorly framed. But if you read the surrounding text, you can see that it's all about the background.
