THE YEAR 2000 mit Anthony J. Wiener, A Framework for Speculation on the Thirty-Three Years. The Macmillan Company, New York 1.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Very uncommon publication from 1968 which contains a bounty of American trademarked logos from the heyday of the post-war graphic design and advertising boon. In Black cardboard slipcase foil-stamped in white, with a 56 page booklet, 16 sheets that fold out to 4 panels, and 45 single panel sheets. An amazing document in a visually compelling format. This copy generally very nice, with some heavier wear to the slipcase, but the inner contents are in excellent, superb, crisp condition, appears scarcely looked through at all. The case itself, thought still intact, is a bit wobbly, and is missing about 1" of one of the sides, and what remains on both sides is slightly curled and peeled up form the joining cardboard underneath, leaving it a bit precarious as is (could likely be fixed up easily with PVA glue and happy to do that for anyone interested). Some further fraying at the sides and some light rubbing to covers besdes. As mentioned, all interior contents are nearly as new, remarkably so given the age. Booklet has some minor toning around edges of the back cover, and one or two of the sheets has the slightest bit of corner wear, but generally superb. Lester Beall [essay] Chicago: Society of Typographic Arts (STA), June 1968. First [only] edition. Black cardboard slipcase foil-stamped in white. [16] 4-panel sheets, 25 loose sheets, and a 56-page booklet enclosed in the slipcase. Contents lightly handled. The Publishers slipcase is split along the lower front edge and worn along each edge, with tape repair to case bottom and bumps to corners. Nearly fine contents in a fair to good example of the Publishers slipcase. Rare. Black slipcase contains 16 [8.5" x 8.5"] 4-panel sheets, 25 [8.5" x 8.5"] loose sheets and a 56-page [8.5" x 8.5"] perfect-bound booklet. From the introduction: "193 American trademarks, symbols and logotypes were chosen by a jury of leaders in the field of design to be represented in Trademarks/USA, the first national retrospective exhibition of its kind, which opened April 22, 1964 at the National Design Center in Marina City, Chicago, under the auspices of the Society of Typographic Arts." An amazing document that chronicles the rise of the American trademark after World War II, and by extension the graphic design profession as well. Essays include the introduction for "Trademarks/USA" including the President's Message and 5 b/w photos of jury members, an essay called The Trademark: A Graphic Summation of Individuality by Lester Beall including 5 b/w photos of the exhibition.

The RAND Corp Bomb Damage Effect Computer. (1958). 3 dials (two moving). Lovelace Corp. 3-D: 10.5 × 10.2 × 0.3cm (4 1/8 × 4 × 1/8 in.) Housed in a 5"x4.5" heavy paper sleeves with guidelines for use of the computer. The paper sleeve is in VG condition; the computer/slide rule is in FINE condition.   I should note here that the computer gets maxxed out at 100 megatons. The largest bomb ever built and test was the Tsara weapon, which was 50 megatons. Hiroshima by comparison was 20 kilotons. So. Provenance: half-faded rubber stamp for the "Civilian Test Operations, Division of Biology and Medicine, United States Atomic Energy Commission, Washington D.C." Also, "Dr. Coker" is written on the sleeve as well. Dr. Coker was Joseph Coker, chief of the National Resource Evaluation Center, Office of Emergency Planning, Executive off of the President. There are several versions of a slide rule that are strongly similar to this version, and there are identical models are online at the Air and Space Museum, the Computer History Museum, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Museum. This is similar to the probably better-known bomb effects computer included in the rear pocket of "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" (that appeared in different editions of the book in 1957, 1964, and 1977). "The great thing about the RAND Bomb Damage Effect Computer is that it is made of aluminum rather than plastic or (heaven forbid) cardboard; this is a high quality item. Not surprising when you consider that it was produced for the military. It allowed the aircrew of a bomber to predict the size of the crater produced by the thermonuclear weapon they were about to release. It also gave the pilot some idea as to the size of the fireball and the altitude that was required to minimize the contamination of the aircraft by fallout. In other words, it did much the same thing as several other slide rules. e.g., the BLR Nuclear Weapon Effects Computer. One imaginative reference to this device (Greeley 2011) indicated that it was used by RAND employees "to estimate megadeaths." A nice example of dramatic license."-ORAU Museum of Radiation and Radioactivity, Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
