Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. Prospectus. Printed both sides of a single sheet, 43cm x 28cm (17" x 11"). Text (recto) in three columns with graphic vignettes; text (verso) in four columns with single inset portrait. Old folds; faint creases to margins; Very Good or better. Prospectus for this long-running right-wing monthly, edited by prolific… far-right gadfly and conspiracy theorist Harry T Everingham to promote his somewhat shadowy advocacy group "We The People!," self-described here as a group of ".well-informed citizens .joined together.to arouse other Americans from their general apathy and to stand up and fight while we still have some freedom with which to fight!" The group's stated aims were generally nativist and anti-communist, but in later years Everingham would be associated with such classic conspiracy pamphlets as "The Gas Shortage Was Created as Part of the Plan of Those Who Aim to Control Our Lives" (1979) and "Reds Placed AIDS Virus in Vaccine in U.N. World Health Organization Labs to Weaken the U.S. for a Takeover" (1993). "Free Enterprise" was published beginning in 1943 and ran at least through 1976; most of that time the paper was issued from Phoenix. WorldCat notes 9 locations in the U.S., all are partial runs.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. Handbill, 8-1/2" x 7" (ca 22cm x 18cm). Printed from typescript, one-side only on white paper. Mild evidence of use; Near Fine. Presumably self-published handbill by an anonymous "Nashville Woman," arguing for the innocence of segregationist gadfly John Kasper (who served an eight month sentence for conspiracy in…1957) and suggesting that space ships full of "little green men" [i.e. communists] were taking over city halls, police departments and state houses throughout the South, bringing with them an alien ideology of racial integration. "Yes, friends, 'beware', for the little green men have landed and we can most assuredly point them out. All white citizens must join hands in this mighty crusade for freedom." An illustrative relic of the tiny intersection of Sputnik fever and white supremacy; undated but given the repeated references to Kasper and to "satellite news," 1957 seems a safe bet.

Broadside: No Man Can Serve Two Masters! All Americans: Protestants, Jews, Catholics Unite!
[NEW YORK] [RADICAL RIGHT] [GERSON, Simon] RANKIN, Ainsworth "Doc" (illus)
Published by International Catholic Truth Society [1938], Brooklyn, 1938
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books, ABAA, Winchester, VA, U.S.A.Lorne Bair Rare Books, ABAA
Contact seller5-star sellerBroadside, 18-1/2" x 9". Printed recto-only on newsprint. Text in single column beneath cartoon graphic signed "Doc Rankin". Single horizontal fold; paper slightly toned and eroded at margins (not approaching text); complete and Good. Right-wing broadside attacking Simon Gerson, who had recently been appointed Assistant to Manha…ttan Borough President Stanley Isaacs. Gerson (1909-2004) was the first openly Communist politician to hold an appointed office in New York; despite vicious attacks such as this from various right-wing groups he succeeded in holding on to his post for three years. Following WW2 (in which he served honorably), Gerson returned to politics, once again becoming embroiled in controversy when the Tammany machine blocked his appointment to fill deceased communist City Councilman Pete Cacchione's seat. The graphic, reproduced from the Brooklyn "Daily Eagle", shows Gerson conducting city business while a placid Josef Stalin oversees his work from the shadows. The drawing is signed by Doc Rankin, a freelance editorial cartoonist who, in addition to his long service on the Eagle, is widely believed to have been the real-life figure behind the anonymous "Mr. Prolific," one of the most-published illustrators of pornographic "Tijuana Bibles" in the 30s and 40s.

Yellow cloth boards, lettered in black and red on spine and front cover; dustjacket; 343pp; frontispiece and 15 unnumbered leaves of photographic plates (halftones). A straight, Near Fine copy, marred only by some oxidation transfer to the spine and joints, a result of the gold… foil used on the dustwrapper. In the original gold foil dustwrapper, with printed text on verso; unclipped (priced $2.00 on front flap), an exceptionally well-preserved example, minutely rubbed at extremities with two small punctures to spine panel, one neatly mended with tissue; otherwise the notoriously fragile jacket remains crisp, bright, and free of the rubbing that is endemic to this book. Housed in a custom morocco-backed cloth clamshell cse. Autobiography of Huey Long, aka "The Kingfish," written shortly after assuming his seat as U.S. Senator from Louisiana and in advance of his ill-fated 1936 Presidential campaign. Illustrated throughout with scenes from the Louisiana senator's colorful career, chosen to highlight his accomplishments on behalf of the poor and working-class residents of his state, at whom his populist Presidential campaign was directly targeted. Long would be assassinated in 1935, just as his campaign had begun to gain him national recognition.
