Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1956. The June, 1956 issue of Fate Magazine (issue no. 75) in Raymond A.

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 Near Fine copy - very near fine, with just touch edge wear on a small scale, light sunning at rear cover top and bottom (see scans), and of course some modest age-toning to the newsprint paper pages, which remain supple.

Hard Cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Magda Nachman-Acharya, Wolfgang Hamburger, Edith Samuel, et al. (illustrator). First Edition. Third year of this anthology for young people, with an illustrated calendar noting holy days, short stories, essays, plays, games, songs, and poetry; themed on Jewish history & holidays. A scarce survivor: many, one expects, were burned by the anti-woke mobs of post-Weimar Germany. Founded in 1928 by Cohn, a philologist, rabbi, and playwright, the Jugendkalender in its early years endorsed the German-Jewish identity, and was popular with that community. After 1933, though, its focus shifted to stories of emigration and articles countering antisemitic propaganda. Cohn was arrested in 1935, but managed to escape to Amsterdam in 1936, reaching the USA in 1939, where he died in 1948. Small hardcover, as pictured. Text in German, a little in fraktur type; illustrations; paper band inside the rear cover holding a puzzle/game, Der Turmbau zur Babel, on a single folded sheet; rubberstamped name, Eva Speier, on free endsheet. Speier, born in 1919, escaped Germany with her parents in 1936, moving to Lincoln, Nebraska, where she became a pharmacist. She died in Iowa in 2008. Book shows some wear, splits along spine now mended; smudges, small stains, minor nicks, corners bumped; tanned ad laid in, with some adjacent tanning. 128 pages, b/w illustrations & a few photos. Size: 7" by 8¼".
