Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1956. The September, 1956 issue of Fate Magazine (issue no. 78) in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 130 pp. A Fine copy, with no flaws at all discernible without close loupe inspection. As high grade as Fate gets. Newsprint page paper has modestly toned, as always, but nor much. Extraordinarily sharp example. Highest Grade, particularly for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. See scans. This issue features articles on Dowsing for Murder, Lost in the Fourth Dimension, The Phantom Wolf, My Invisible Wife, a 1956 alchemist, Sea Serpents, Handel's ghost, a poltergeist, and of course much, much else, including the standard Departments, always engrossing in themselves. Interior art and photography is largely uncredited. A piece of paranormal history, and an example of a unique branch of Americana, in very highly collectible condition. l50n.…

Good readable/working copy.; Catalogue from the exhibition held June 15 - 17 1992 in Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Sir Percival David and the 40th Anniversary of the Opening of the Percival David Foundation.; "In this year of anniversaries for the Percival David Foundation it seemed appropriate that the Percival David Colloquy on Art and Archaeology in Asia should be devoted to a topic of particular relevance to the Foundation's own collection. Since well over half the ceramics in the collection were made at China's main porcelain producing centre, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, the wares from these kilns provide the subject for this colloquy. The Jingdezhen in kilns themselves and their products have provided some of the most fascinating archaeological finds in the People's Republica of China in recent years, and we were fortunate to have two speakers from China with first-hand knowledge of this important excavated material. Other contributors pursued a range of topics including technological developments, the organization of the kilns, the significance of ceremonial wares, specific decorative motifs, their origins and evolution, archaism, trading networks, the wares made for particular markets, and the influence of missionaires." excerpt from the foreword by Rosemary E. Scott, Curator, March 1993.…
