Winky King 1997 - 2010
This Oz collection is dedicated to the memory of Winky, Maltese-mix
dog born in a garage in southwest Detroit in 1997. Winky was supposed to die at
birth. He was born with cerebral palsy accompanied by a half dozen other medical maladies. His mother knew he wasn’t well, and at two days stopped nursing
him. Then, a ragged bunch of book people stepped on nature’s toes.
When he first came to the bookstore, he was so tiny he fit into the palm
of a hand. He spent his early days at the front counter of the bookstore, snuggled inside of a shoebox, being fed every few hours with a baby bottle. But, he
soon took up his post in a cardboard box underneath a desk, where he claimed
the position of “protector
of the bookstore.” When a
stranger (the accountant, a
visiting bookseller, or even
a bigwig customer) dared to
visit, Winky would stand up
– a bit wobbly – on all fours
and bark until the stranger
left. With his friends, he
would often beg to be held
and petted, and would signal the end to the play-time
with a not-too-playful nip
to one’s fingers.
He enjoyed car rides, especially going on leads to clients’ houses to look
at their books. And, if the client was lucky, Winky would allow himself to be
petted – especially if the client was a woman. He always had a fondness for the
ladies, and they reciprocated in kind.
Sadly, death is an unforgiving rule of nature. Winky passed away on February 2nd of this year. He wasn’t famous. He didn’t sit up or fetch or know any
cute dog tricks; he couldn’t even walk. But, he overcame his disabilities and led a
contented life, bringing much needed joy to those he befriended. Winky was full
of life, a miracle dog by all measures.
He spent 12 ½ years guarding a vast collection of tomes. The books were
his. Many of us miss him.
He had a strong life force, determined to live & inspire others. He was
raised with our other bookstore dogs, so he thought he was normal. His attempts
at walking looked like he had been drinking something other than water, but he
never gave up. His spirit was strong until the end when his body finally gave up
on him. He was loving and playful. Winky tugged at our heartstrings, and we all
fell madly in love with him. He became the heart and soul of our store.

Youngren on almost every other page. 4¼x3½, color pictorial boards, “perfect bound.” “Big Little
Book.” First Edition.
Racine, WI: Whitman Publishing Co., [1934]
Scarce, unauthorized Oz story. “Frank Joslyn Baum, L. Frank Baum’s eldest son, wanted to
continue the Oz series, but at his father’s death he was in the American Expeditionary Force in
France, and by the time that he was able to return to the United States, Ruth Plumly Thompson
had become Royal Historian of Oz. He wrote a full-length fantasy entitled Rosine in Oz (later
retitled Rosine and the Laughing Dragon) but Reilly & Lee would not publish it. A portion of
the manuscript was published in 1934 by the Whitman Publishing Company as The Laughing
Dragon of Oz, a volume in the “Big Little Book” series. Publisher and author planned a sequel
to be entitled The Enchanted Princess of Oz. Before that book could appear, Reilly & Lee
brought suit against Whitman. The matter was settled when Whitman agreed not to reprint The
Laughing Dragon of Oz or to publish The Enchanted Princess of Oz.” (Hanff & Greene).

authored a version true to his 1900
story but re-wrote the play to satisfy the

from the book version. The present issue
of the program is from the Ninth Week
of the production, beginning Sunday
August 10, 1902. Includes 4 page Cast
and Synopsis and a brief review of Arthur Hill’s role as the Cowardly Lion. The
remainder of the program consists of advertisements for various goods and local
merchants. Laid in is a 1902 newspaper
clipping with an image of Fred Stone in
his Scarecrow costume. A previous owner
has inked “The Wizard of Oz” on the
front, wrappers splitting along spine fold,
some light edge wear, short tear to the
Lot 128

Mary Buckland Wright regarding the edition. 11½x8¼, bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in full vellum

the second series, from a run of 50 copies printed.
The Hague/Middlesex: [Mary Buckland Wright], 1935 [but printed 1936, issued 1972]
A John Buckland Wright rarity, the text printed in 1936 by Mouton & Co. in The Hague (though
the title-page is dated 1935), the collotype reproductions of the wash drawings and the pulls from
the trial etchings made in 1956, as was the accompanying printed note, and the book bound and
issued in 1972. This copy was purchased directly
from Mary Buckland Wright, and the collector
wrote to her about the edition. She responded with
a typewritten letter dated 3/74, describing in detail
the origins of the present issue of the book. The
original of the letter has been lost, but a transcript
was made, and it reads in part: “It is quite understandable that some confusion should have arisen
over my late husband’s J. B-W Editions. He never
had a ‘publishing house’ in the accepted sense. Before the last War he began to produce the abovenamed private editions; books in small editions
which were sold privately to collectors... 3. The
Apres-midi d’un faune, French text. The printed
sheets for this last book were printed in Holland
by Mouton & Co., The Hague, in 1936. They
remained there throughout the War. After the
War they were sent to us in London. My husband
fully intended continuing with his own editions,
but his time was fully occupied with work for the
Golden Cockerel Press and his teaching. He made
several experimental illustrations, but he remained
Lot 194
dissatisfied. After his death in 1954, I found four
superb wash drawings for L’Apres-midi d’un faune (Mallarme) which showed that he had finally
found the type of illustration he felt suited the text. They would, of course, have been engraved
or more probably etched, had he lived. In 1956, Christopher Sandford, Editor of the Golden
Page 44
Cockerel Press, undertook to publish the drawings in a G.C.P. edition admirably reproduced in
collotype by the Chiswick Press. The G.C.P. used the Aldous Huxley translation and offered to
distribute an edition by me of the French text, with the collotype illustrations, bound in white
sheepskin. 25 copies of this edition were sold. These 25 were quite different in style from the
G.C.P. edition... In 1968, the Private Libraries Association published a book on my husband and
his work by A. Reid. It contains a Check-list of his illustrated publications. Mr. David Chambers, of the P.L.A. suggested to me that the remaining sheets and illustrations for the Apresmidi d’un faune, should be bound in parchment by Messrs. Sangorski & Sutcliffe, and published
at L50.0. Unfortunately only 23 copies were available as two sets had become foxed...” (A

11 volume set of typescript copies from the notes taken by professional secretary Mary Foote at
the seminars by Carl Jung, held from 1930-1934. The subject of this seminar was the analysis of
the artwork by the American, Christiana Morgan. She painted artwork while in a semi-hypnotic
state, and they provided what Jung called visions. Within these multigraphed pages are many
original photographs of her art. Her contributions to Psychology went beyond her influence
on Jung and her lover Henry Murray. Morgan and Murray were among the group to create the
Harvard Psychological Clinic, and the pair developed the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)
which is still used today to test for multiple personality disorder. Light to moderately rubbed
spines; very good or better.

Zurich: [Privately Published], 1934-1939 & 1942
Carl Jung (1875-1961) led many seminars in the 1930s on subjects such as visions and dreams,
for the Zurich Psychological Club. From 1934-1939 he discussed a topic that had gripped
Jung since medical school: Nietzsche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra. This 11 volume set of bound
typescript copies are a result of the diligent note-taking of professional secretary Mary Foote.
However, they remain unedited by Jung, a fact that led him to place a warning which asks that
this publication never be circulated, that it remain in the hands of its intended recipients, the
members of the seminar. Within the notes are the transcription not only of his lectures, but also
Jung’s fielding of questions from the audience, as well as recommending further reading, and
alluding to contemporary political and economic issues. Volume 1 spine lacking; other spines
with moderate rubbing and wear; a few scattered stains or smudges; mostly very good.

Dead.’”

Paris: Librairie Jacques Lecoffre, 1873-1878
His studies of monarchism in the West bore fruit in his Moines d’Occident (1860), which was
unfinished at the time of the author’s death in 1870, but was completed later from some long
fragments found among his papers. Each sunned or rubbed at spine and extremities, also library
sticker on spine heels; each with a bookplate from the Pacific Unitarian School for the Ministry

tissue guard for each page. Approximately 526 examples clipped from envelopes, letterheads, etc.
7½x6, full green morocco, lettered in gilt, all edges gilt.
[England]: [c.1860]
Hundreds of examples are carefully mounted on each leaf, which has a pre-printed gilt design,
around which the assembler could compose a design. Emblems in this album represent schools,
ships, societies, military units, clubs, and monograms of individuals. A fine example of this once
popular upper-class hobby. Spine ends rubbed; very good.
(400/600)
Page 81
371. (Monograms) Coronets, Crests, Badges, Monograms, and Miscellaneous Armorial Insignia. With an
illuminated title leaf + 56 leaves with mounted examples of printed embossed crests, etc., each with
a tissue guard. Containing over 2000 examples. 10¼x8, half green morocco and cloth, all edges gilt.

An elaborate example of this Victorian hobby. Each leaf within has a different design or border
drawn, in a variety of watercolors as well as with silver and gilt lettering. Within those designs,
the crests, monograms, arms, and other insignia have been mounted. Some examples of designs
within include a page that is designed to look like scattered playing cards, crossed spears, letter
envelopes, leaves of trees, ivy, and one with a watercolor illustration of two children blowing
bubbles, the insignia mounted within the bubbles. Most of the pages have a manuscript key on
the facing page, identifying the ownership of specific crest and armorial insignia. The final leaf
simply reads “Finis” with gilt embellishments. Light shelf wear, a few tiny spots of soiling to
cloth; some faint smudging and offsetting to tissue guards; very good.

San Francisco: California Historical Society, 1954
Scholarly study of the influence of “the early West’s greatest single explorer” on the mapping
of the West. Smith was the first man to cross the Sierra Nevada and open the southwestern trail
to California. He also pioneered the route from California to the Hudson’s Bay Co. territory,
established posts on the Columbia and mapped watersheds of the Missouri, Yellowstone, Platte,
Rio Grande, Colorado, Snake and Columbia rivers. Prospectus laid in. Fine.

bound together. 9½x7, homemade faux-leather and boards binding, homemade jacket constructed
from front and rear wrappers of a single issue.
London: Swing Music, 1935-36
Run of an obscure magazine, issued as the proclaimed “Official Organ of the British Rhythm
Club Federation.” Apparently the first 14 issues, Hibbs’ numbering of issues, and his
pagination, is erratic; the publication began as a monthly than changed to a quarterly. Profusely
illustrated articles (with some glossy inserts) on well-known as well and now-obscure musicians,
many first-hand accounts by bandleaders and musicians, record reviews, news of various
London jazz clubs and the British jazz scene, and many illustrated articles. Hibbs later wrote 21
years of Swing Music on Brunswick Records (1937) and co-authored the Encyclopedia of Jazz
(Decca, 1941). Not in the Union List of Serials; OCLC cites only one location, at Emory, but
without any volume information. Crudely bound, page edges uneven; else very good.

printed description of the Protean View mounted below.
London: William Spooner, [c.1835]
A beautiful example of Spooner’s Protean Views or “peepshow” plates, created for use with
the early magic lantern device, the Polyrama Panoptique, and considered the most dramatic
of the 37 views produced in the 19th century. The natural light image is a peaceful view of
Mount Vesuvius through the portico of a villa, but upon holding to the light the “scene changes
to Midnight--an Eruption of the Volcano has taken place which illuminates the surrounding
objects with a fiery brightness while liquid lava is seen streaming down the sides of the
mountain.” -from explanation mounted at bottom. Small hole at top margin of paper (not to

393. Szukalski, Stanislaw. Projects in Design: Sculpture and Architecture - with original woodblock signed
by Szukalski. 53 pp. + many photograph plates, reproducing his artwork. 12x10½, blue cloth with
orange cloth spine, lettered in gilt, all edges gilt. One out of 150 copies printed at the Lakeside Press.
First Edition.
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, [1929]
Includes an original woodblock on tissue-paper, tipped in as frontispiece, signed in pencil by
the artist. Stanislaw Szukalski (1893-1987) was a Polish born painter and sculptor whose works
were as unorthodox as his concept of world history, Zermatism. Zermatism postulates that
all human culture was derived from post-deluge Easter Island and that mankind was locked
in an eternal struggle with the Sons of Yeti. Szukalski’s works are on permanent display at the
Polish Museum of America in Chicago, as well as the Polish National Museum in Warsaw. His
sculptures reveal a Mayan influence, many are pictured in this book in addition to city plans,
plans for sculptures that were never executed, and many drawings of architectural elements.
One drawing of a sculpture that is
particularly captivating is that of a project
for a monument to Mussolini, conceived
on the day of departure of the minister
of foreign affairs Zalewski, of Poland,
for Rome. Mussolini is depicted nude
and serpentine, with a tail and a scaly
spine and horns, two hounds stand
guard with him. An interesting series
of illustrations from the pre-war era
of this artist’s career. In 1934 he was
proclaimed as the “Greatest Living Artist”
by the Polish government. In 1939, the
Nazi siege of Warsaw resulted in the
destruction of the Szukalski National
Museum built in his honor just five years
before. Contemporary interest in his work
remains, notable admirers include actor
Leonardo DiCaprio, who sponsored a
retrospective exhibition titled, “Struggle,”
at the Laguna Art Museum in 2000.

396. Van den Bergh, George. The Euroclock - printed in hoofdletters and quadruple-print. 128 pp. Printed
in four languages, French, English, Italian and Dutch. 7x4½, glossy wrappers, paper slipcase called a
“book-jack,” and 4 celluloid screens, one for each translation within.
Haarlem, Netherlands: Tjeenk Willink, 1958
The Euroclock was an invention by Professor George van den Bergh which enabled workers
in Europe to utilize the hours provided with natural light as their most productive hours. This
book about his invention, is printed in 4 languages in quadruple-print, meaning there is minimal
leading, and you are to read only 1 line (in your language) for every 4, utilizing the celluloid
screen to block the lines you do not read. This idea, paired with printing in all capital letters
(hoofdletters) was also the creation of van den Bergh, in an effort to conserve paper in post-war
Netherlands. The book is to be read using one of the four celluloid screens, enabling the reader
to see only the desired line and language. A touch of browning to edges of celluloid screens;
very light shelf wear to book-jack and volume; very good.

ALL SALES HELD BY PBA GALLERIES ARE CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO SECTION
2328 OF THE COMMERCIAL CODE AND SECTION 535 OF THE PENAL CODE OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
CONSIGNING BOOKS TO PBA GALLERIES
The first step in consigning to PBA is to contact the Galleries, either by phone, fax, email or letter.
It can then be determined whether the item or items under consideration would do well at auction.
Following this, arrangements can be made for the delivery of the material to PBA. In the case of
large consignments or libraries, a member of the staff may be able to view the books on location,
and make arrangements for its transportation to PBA Galleries. Because of the costs involved, PBA
discourages consignments with a total value of less than $1500.
The frequency of auctions, and variety of subject matter, allows PBA Galleries to ensure quick
turn-around time for items consigned. Books can appear at auction as quickly as 30 days and
generally not more than 90 days following consignment. Commissions vary between 10% and 15%,
depending on the selling price of an item.These commissions encompass all related costs including
insurance, storage, cataloguing, illustrations, etc., except shipping. Payment is sent within 20 banking
days of an auction.
