R041 New listing! Would-Ja pretty much says it all about this 1936 Edward B. Marks publication of this very colorful and romantic piece with lyrics by Arthur Herzog Jr. and music by Manning Sherwin. The piece measures approximately 12.0" x 9.0" and is in very good condition with a barely noticeable crease, no tears, and great color retention. Direct from a Palm Springs, CA estate collection of vintage musical instruments and sheet music, it features Frederick Manning artwork of a young couple sitting among the flowering shrubs and proposing and an inset photo of the Lane sisters Leota and Lois who originally sang the song. Great as a gift for the one you love!     $14.00
R042 Whimsical 1902 14.0" x 10.75" M. Witmark publication of "The Limerick Girls", a music supplement of the San Francisco Examiner. With words and music by Chauncey Olcott "in his charming new Irish melodrama Old Limerick Town by Augustus Pitou", it reflects a style of days gone by. We love the proud young man in his finest period clothes on the front cover, and the piece is in very good condition for the age with about 4 minor edge tears each 0.25" or less. Great as a gift for the Irish man or woman in your life!    $14.00

Get ready for a jungle adventure and one of the hardest to find Indian stories of all time with 2 more books from a major collection of Whitman Big and Better Little Books! Take your pick of rare first editions- very hard to find Big Little Book of Jungle Jim by Alex Raymond (425 pages, copyright 1936) and Flame Boy and the Indians' Secret by Oren Arnold (298 pages, copyright 1938). Both books were published by the Whitman Publishing Company of Racine, Wisconsin and measure 4.5" x 3.5". Both books are illustrated throughout with fabulous comic book style illustrations matching the story on almost every other page and feature inscriptions telling the story. Both books are in good condition with edges and spine showing normal moderate scuffing but completely intact and modest age- toning. The Jungle Jim book is missing a tiny section of color on the front cover. While the books are tight, they are fragile as are most all of the Whitman Big and Better Little Books of this age. All listings from this major estate consignment are very hard to find and priced well below individual book prices from rare book dealers. Great as a gift!

We get lots of request for vintage airplane and aerospace books and memorabilia, so we were quite happy when this well known aviation book The Cutting Edge by Navy pilot C. J. Heatley III with forward by Senator Jake Garn came to us as part of a major Los Angeles, CA estate consignment. Filled with information as well as color and black & white photographs, any airplane afficianado or collector is going to love this very hard to find 1986 first edition. Navy pilot Heatley took his camera into the cockpit of an F-14 fighter plane and onto the deck of an aircraft carrier to convey the unique sights and sensations that pilots experience. Photos and text include Russian bombers investigating the battle group, a crippled plane making an emergency landing, shock waves circling a supersonic aircraft, an F-14 TV camera targetting an airplane. There are interviews with attack, fighter, antisubmarine, electronic countermeasure, and helicopter pilots. Also, a Top Gun flight instructor flies against his students in a mock dogfight and an air boss directs 400 men and 40 airplanes on the deck of an aircraft carrier. There's technical information and drawings on the various aircraft as an added bonus. A Thomasson, Grant & Howell first edition, the 152 page 12.25" x 9.25" book is in excellent condition and includes the original paper cover which has a tear but is otherwise intact- great as a gift!   $35.00

Extremely rare John F. Kennedy fully illustrated commemorative- The Illustrated Story of John F. Kennedy: Champion of Freedom "with portrait for framing on back cover" is a real find. The book is filled with color drawings and associated captions of JFK, Jacqueline Kennedy, and his life from boyhood through his inauguration, presidency, and his assassination including a rendering of the famous photograph of John saluting his slain father. This illustrated memorial book of Kennedy's life is a period publication published right after JFK's assassination and not a reproduction. It measures approximately 10.25" x 7" and is in remarkable condition. Also included free of charge is an advertisement for Kennedy Memorial Stamps taken from the New Haven Register newspaper. To be honest, these illustrated pages would be magnificant in frames but it would also be kind of sad to break up such a magnificant and rare book. Pulbished in 1964 by Worden & Childs of New York City. $32.00
R053 Tell Me What's A Fellow To Do, with words and music by W. Dayton Wegefarth and published by M. Witmark & Sons in 1907. Great cover art with the little cherub flipping the pages of the book, and the inset photo of Helena Frederick who sung the song in the original Broadway production. Good condition save minor edge tears and measuring approximately 13.75" x 10.5".      $8.00
R054 For that Molly in your life, how about "Molly Dear, It's You I'm After", a 1915 Jerome H. Remick publication of the song with lyrics by Frank Wood and music by Henry E. Pether. It's got a terrific cover with inset photograph of Blanche Ring on the cover, and it was signed at time purchase by the original owner from whose estate this comes. The 13.5" x 10.5" piece is in good condition with about 6 substantive edge tears 1.0" or longer, but they'll not be noticeable in the frame for which this is destined. As a special bonus, included is Twinkle Shadow Bells Cradle Song, with words by Frances Emerson Walker and music by Natalie P. Metro. Published in 1906 by Mozart Music of New York, the 13.75" x 11.0" piece has complete spine separation and several edge tears, but it also has a wonderful lithograph of a bird sitting on a flowering branch using a rich blue color, definitely worth a frame.   $18.00/pr
R055 Make this 1930 copy of "When Your Hair Has Turned to Silver (I Will Love You Just The Same)" a fun gift perfect for a frame on the wall of the newly gray man in your life.

It measures approximately 12.25" x 9.25" and was written by Charlie Tobias and Peter DeRose. /12 SOLD
R056 Original Stereo soundtrack album of the famous film Dr. Zhivago is very hard to find and features some great photographs from the movie. MGM released the David Lean film of Boris Pasternak's Dr. Zhivago in 1965, produced by Carlo Ponti, and it won the Academy Award that year. The music is quite classic, composed and conducted by Maurice Jarre and generally accepted as one of the best film soundtracks of all time. In addition to all the interior photographs from the movie, the text also describes the Dr. Zhivago story, information about the Director David Lean, the stars of the movie including Geraldine Chapman, Julie Christie, Alec Guiness, Omar Sharif, Rod Steiger, and others, and the 1957 book by Boris Pasternak.
