[0-396-06374-8] 1971. (Hardcover) Very good plus in very good dust jacket. 392pp. Minor rubbing on dust jacket. "Here is a powerful selection of fiction and nonfiction mirroring the Negro experience in America. The time sequence of the book extends from the midnight of slave time to now - 11 P.M. (when 'for America this may be the last opportunity she has to deal with black Americans and negotiate. Before the terrifying prospects of internal strife, armed suppression and needless destruction descend fully upon us all.' - Whitney M. Young, Jr.). The changes in black and white consciousness over the years are clearly evident in this clockwise turn of fiction and events". Contributors include James Baldwin, Claude Brown, T.R. Carskadon, Eldridge Cleaver, John Allen Davidson, Robert K. Durkee, Ralph Ellison, William Faulkner, Rudolph Fisher, Chris Frazer, John Howard Griffin, Wayne Grover, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Julius Lester, E.P. O'Donnell, Carl Ruthven Offord, Joseph E. Pumila, Edward Rivera, William Styron, Sandra Taylor, Bob Teague, Michael Thelwell, Robert Penn Warren, Richard Wright. Locale: United States.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Good. Headpieces And Jacket By E. E. Thurston (illustrateur). 1st Edition. Vii, 307 Pp. Dark Blue Cloth, Gilt. First Edition Stated. Near Fine, Gilt Brilliant, No Marks. Dust Jacket Priced $3.00, Wear, Small Losses At Corners, 2 3/4" X 1 1//2" Deep V-Chip At Top Of Rear Panel. Interesting Commentaries, Revealing About What Prominent Americans Thought Civilization Was (In 1930). However, The Beard Studies Omit Any Response From Any In The Great Masses Of The World Who Do Not Invent Or Manufacture, Nor Own Or Manage, The Technological Enterprises Which Are The Essence Of Technological Development, Which Is The Primary Concern Of These Respondents; Nor Has Any Study In The Succeeding 90 Years Attempted To Explore The Meaning Of Culture So Except In The Most Superficially Journalistic And Condescending Manner. But What Could Go Wrong? Aren't The Elites, After All, Elite? It Isn't Like Unprincipled Demagogues, Secure With All The Advantages Of Modern Technology, Would Incite Violence Amongst The Vast Majority, With Relatively Ever-Declining Options Ever-Declining Self-Esteem And Relatively Ever-Declining Standards Of Living. Why Bother Talking To Them To See Anything More Than Whether They Agree Or Not? And Who Will Ever Want To Read Ordinary People's Opinions When The Questions They're Asked Are Always Stupidly Closed-Ended And Never Followed Up By Why Etc.?

Single Issue Magazine. Etat : Very Good. Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris, Con L. Grover, Frederick H. Morley, Walter L. Huber, Chester Versteeg (illustrateur). First Edition. San Francisco: Sierra Club, 1923. First Edition. Vol XI, No. 4, for 1923. This was published during a several-year time period when the Sierra Club did not stipulate the month of an issue, just the volume, the number, and the year - monthly designations for such an infrequent publication having always been somewhat unnecessary in any case. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 115 pp. + numerous unpaginated photographic plates, features and ads, including a fold-out map (Grouse Meadows to Vidette Meadow) and a fold-out wide-angle photograph by W.H. Wright. Gray stapled wraps, rather than the usual medium brown. Very Good; circuit binding (yapp binding) was used, in which cover edges were intentionally extended out beyond page edges, but over time the extended part becomes pressed inward somewhat (see scan). Some damage at inside front hinge area, and some spine sunning and abrasion. A handsome copy. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to the graphics mentioned above, this issue is chock full of photographic plates by the club's best photographers, as well as others, including Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris (an 1867 shot), Con L. Grover, Frederick H. Morley, Walter L. Huber, Chester Versteeg and several uncredited artists. SC2.

Overall, a pristine signed copy with a very nice association. Buying Time celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Literature Program of the National Endowment for the Arts. It brings together works from twenty-five well-known writers who benefited from fellowships and awards and were given, according to the book's jacket flap, the "most treasured of gifts to an artist: time to create." Composed of poetry, prose, and drama, writers represented in the book include John Ashbery, Raymond Carver, W. S. Merwin, Mary Oliver, Cynthia Ozick, Alice Walker, Tobias Wolff, Rita Mae Brown, Robert Duncan, Louise Erdrich, Tess Gallagher, Allen Ginsberg, Maxine Hong Kinston, and Alice Walker, among others. This copy is inscribed by Ralph Ellison, the great American author whose most famous work, Invisible Man, was awarded the National Book Award in 1953. Ellison had a strong personal connection with the National Endowment for the Arts, as he won the organization's National Medal of Art in 1985. The book is also signed by the poet Charles Wright, whose poem, The Other Side of the River, is included in the anthology. Wright's poetry book, Black Zodiac, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1998, and in 2014 he served as the 20th Poet Laureate of the United States. Ellison inscribed this book to Harold F. Mays, who collected thousands of first edition books with his partner, Harold Herman. Upon the couple's death, many personal correspondences with great African American authors were discovered in their home, including "notes from Fanny Ellison, the widow of 'Invisible Man' author Ralph Ellison, and famed black poets Rita Dove and Gwendolyn Brooks." Harold Mays and his partner lived together openly in an interracial relationship for more than 50 years in Washington D. C., beginning in 1965 when it was particularly dangerous to do so. Their story was documented in the 2008 book, Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South. Included with the book is a typed promotional letter from Marvin Liebman, who served as the director of special projects for the National Endowment of the Arts between 1982 and 1987. This particular letter was sent to Jack R. Lemmon, who served as Dance Program specialist and administrator with the National Endowment of the Arts from 1984 to 1990. Signed by Author.
