The original hardbound movie prop book, ÔGraboids. EarthÕs Ancient Life Form by Rhonda La Beck, PhD.,Õ used in the making of the film Tremors 3 - Back to Perfection, directed by Brent Maddock, screenplay by John Whelpley from a story by Brent Maddock, S.S. Wilson, and Nancy Roberts, starring Michael Gross, Shawn Christian, Susan Chuang, and Ariana Richards. Fine. This prop book was used prominently in a scene in which the filmÕs star, Michael Gross, gathers his friends together in a Chinese market in their desert hometown of Perfection, Nevada, and says that there has been published research done on the subterranean morphing, man-eating creatures known as Graboids by a woman named Rhonda La Beck. The owner of the market (played by actress Susan Chuang) immediately reports, ÒI sell all her books.Ó The market caters to tourists who are hoping to spot a Graboid, and is stocked with all manner of Graboid souvenirs and trinkets and copies of this prop book, which can be seen face-out on the shelves. The front panel of the bookÕs faux dust jacket shows an image of an aptly named Graboid at its most menacing - worm-like and scarily openmouthed. This book dust jacket is wrapped around a copy of the book Carmelo by Sandra Cisneros. Fine.…

London, Harrison and Sons, 1923. Royal8vo. Contemp. full cloth, gilt lettering to spine. A small stamp to verso of titlepage and on foot of a few leaves. In: "Proceedings of the Royal Society", Series A, Vol. 104. VI,(6),676,XXXII pp., textillustr. and plates. (Entire volume offered). Wilson's papers: pp. (1-) 24 and 12 plates + pp. 192-212 and 9 plates. First printing of the paper in which Wilson had brought his Cloud Chamber to perfection and showed the photographic tracks of the particles. The Cloud Chamber was the first detector of radioacticity and nuclear transmutations and it played an importent role in experimental particle physics e.g. the discovery of the positron. Wilson received the Nobel prize - together with Arthur Compton - in physics in 1927 for his work on the Cloud Chamber."The 21 cloud chamber pictures of X-rays and beta-rays on coated stock printed recto only were the culmination of many years research by Wilson and at last showed the full potential of this method as a tool for particle physicists. Early in 1911 (Wilson) was the first person to see and photograph the tracks of individual alpha-particles and electrons. The event aroused great interest as the paths of the alpha-particle were just as W.H. Bragg had drawn them in publication some years earlier. But it was not until 1923 (the paperoffered) that the clous chamber was brought to perfection and led to his two, beautifully illustrated classic papers on the track of electron."

19 joined sheets, mostly 23 columns per sheet, 17 characters per column. Scroll (263 x 8301 mm. & front endpaper 230 mm.), wooden roller. [Nara: 12th-14th century]. A fine, early printed sutra, which we are unable to date. It is clearly a kasuga-ban, printed on highest-quality thick paper (gampi or mulberry fibers), with bold, thick strokes, using black sumi ink, typical of kasuga-ban printings, a term for publications of the Nara monasteries in general. The Mahaprajnaparamitasutra is a massive compilation of scriptural literature said to have been preached by the Buddha in four different places to 16 discrete assemblies. It includes seminal works such as the Prajnaparamita in One Hundred Thousand Lines and the Diamond Sutra. "This recension of the scripture is only extant in a Chinese translation made in six hundred rolls by Xuanzang and his translation team between the years 660 and 663. Xuanzang's recension is by far the largest of all the prajnaparamita scriptures in the Chinese Buddhist canonThe Mahaprajnaparamitasutra also often holds pride of place as the first sutra found in many traditional East Asian Buddhist scriptural canons."Buswell & Lopez, eds., The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism, p. 505. The translator of the Perfection of Wisdom, Xuanzang (596?-664), was a Chinese Buddhist pilgrim, monk, scholar, and patriarch of the Chinese Yogacara tradition. Along with Kumarajiva (344-413), Xuanzang was one of the two most influential and prolific translators of Indian Buddhist texts into Chinese. In 627, he embarked on an epic journey to India, where he studied Sanskrit, and returned to China in 645 with over 600 Sanskrit manuscripts in his luggage, along with images, relics, and other artifacts. Settling in the Tang capital of Chang'an, he established a translation bureau, where he oversaw a team of monks who transcribed the texts and, in the process, made translations, polished the renderings, clarified texts, and certified both their meaning and syntax. A fine and fresh copy. There is some worming touching characters throughout, but we do not find it offensive. Some sporadic discoloring at the beginning of the scroll. ? K.B. Gardner, "Centres of Printing in Medieval Japan: late Heian to early Edo period" in British Library Occasional Papers 11. Japanese Studies (ed. by Yu-Ying Brown), London: 1990, p. 159"The term Kasuga-ban became used more loosely, in a wider sense, to denote publications of the Nara monasteries in general, not only of the Kofukuji. The printing of Kasuga-ban in this broader sense flourished throughout the Kamakura period and up to the end of Muromachi (ca. 1570)." Mizuno, Buddhist Sutras. Origin, Development, Transmission, pp. 178-79.…
