MELISSA Fay Greene.
The Temple Bombing.
New York. Adisson Wessley Publishing Company. 1996. 502 pps. 8vo. First edition. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author. fine copy in fine dust jacket. On October 12, 1958, the Reform Jewish synagogue in Atlanta exploded when 50 sticks of dynamite detonated. A key moment in Civil Rights history, as telling in its way as Rosa Parks's refusal to change bus seats. This volume looks back on this pivotal event, creating a picture of a city, a region, and indeed a country on the cusp of monumental change. It was an era of almost totalitarian thought in the South. Dissent had been silenced by terror. The lunatic fringe was allowed to respond to Brown versus Board of Education, while the moderate majority was afraid to speak. Into the the breach stepped an unlikely hero, Jacob Rothschild, a young rabbi who had returned from World War II to lead the oldest and most prominent synagogue in Atlanta. Rothschild was one of a handful of whites of his generation with the courage to speak up for racial justice. This book weaves together the stories of white supremacists, the privileged white community, the black community, and the Jewish community. $12.00

The book is divided into three parts: "Issues and Ideas" examines the political poster; "Products and Services" takes a look at the poster in the context of advertising and consumerism; while "Arts, Events, Performances" covers posters used to promote artistic activities, and looks at the poster as a work of art in its own right. Contributors from all three fields provide insights into how posters have been used as a communications tool in the 20th century, while the illustrations offer some of the best examples of poster art $10.00

Martin Espada.
City of Coughing and Dead Radiators.
New York. W. W. Norton. 1993. 89 pps. Folio. First edition. Hardcover. Signed by Author. very good copy in fine dust jacket. Martin Espada writes poetry of advocacy. In this, his fourth collection, Espada's commitment to community is again powerful and overarching. Espada writes the title poem for "the Guatemalan boy, who listens / through the wall / for his father's landlord-defiant staccato, / jolted awake / by flashes of the landlord / floating over the bed, / parade balloon / waving a kitchen knife." Yet these are narrative poems that transcend victimization, that document not only repression, but resistance, that celebrate as well as denounce. Espada's landscapes range from the Brooklyn of his childhood to the Puerto Rico of his paternal forebears, and his tales range from the lunch counter sit-in staged by his father in segregated Texas to the birth of the poet's first child. In the words of Earl Shorris, Martin Espada is "well on his way to becoming the Latino poet of his generation $17.00

The Ramayana.
New York. Charles Scribners. 1954. 276 pps. 8vo. First edition. Hardcover. fine copy in fine dust jacket. The Ramayana is one of the great epics of Hindu literature. It probably was begun around 1000 B.C. and assumed its present form a few centuries before the Christian Era. Its 24,000 couplets reveal the atmosphere, ideals, and customs of ancient Hindu life, and it embodies the general life ideal toward which Hindu men and women aspire even today. It is known that the Ramayana has been revised and added to during the 3000 years of its existence, and it occurred to Aubrey Menen to rewrite the epic in modern prose and in the form he imagined it to have been originally. The result is a completely charming mixture of humor and heroics. Book is in vg + condition - d/j is mint covered in mylar. $50.00

Mettger, Zak.
Till Victory Is Won: Black Soldiers in the Civil War.
New York. Dutton Books. April 1994. 128 pps. 8vo. First edition. Hardcover. fine copy in fine dust jacket. Grade 5-8?Two additions to one of the best series on the Civil War in recent years. In Reconstruction, Mettger faces the daunting task of explaining the confusing post-Civil War era, a time she defines as "a period of great hope and crushing disappointment." She accomplishes her goal with a clearly written, well-explained history. Unflinching in the details about lynchings, the Ku Klux Klan, and corrupt governments, she manages to put a human face on the times. In Till Victory Is Won, the author reports on the many ways African Americans participated in the Civil War. Of course, the famous Massachusetts 54th Regiment is covered. But the little-knowns are not neglected?people like ex-slave Robert Smalls, who stole a steam ship from the middle of Charleston harbor and "defected" to the North; or Lt. Robert Isabelle of the Louisiana Native Guards. Both books have many good-quality photographs and reproductions. As with the rest of the books in this series, these two volumes should be in heavy demand by report writers and history buffs.?Elizabeth M.
