Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Illustrations of teddy bears (illustrator). A Star & Elephant Book. This copy shows little evidence of ever being read.

No Binding. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Not a book but a group of three, 7-inch, 45 rpm "single" vinyl records from 1958. The Crests' "16 Candles," credited to Luther Dixon, COED CO-506, is very-good-plus to near-mint with some rub and a small PON to the red-and-black label. The Teddy Bears' "To Know Him, Is to Love Him," both sides credited to Philip Spector, on the pale blue Dore label, is Dore 45-503, near mint, while "Willie and the Hand Jive," sung by and credited to Johnny Otis, is purple label Capitol F3966, 45-18745, near-mint to the "A" side, very-good-plus with a sticker pull to label of B-side "Ring-A-Ling." Following graduation from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, young Philip Spector convinced Era records to pony up $75 so he could take his vocal group, the Teddy Bears (Marshall Leib, Harvey Goldstein, lead singer Annette Kleinbard, and last minute recruit, drummer Sandy Nelson) into the studio to record his first song, "To Know Him, Is to Love Him." The record stayed in the Billboard Hot 100 for 23 weeks -- Number One for three weeks. At the age of 19, Phil Spector had written, arranged, played, sung, and produced the best-selling record in the country. It sold over two and a half million copies. Leib went on to join the Hollywood Argyles. As "Carol Connors," Annette Kleinbard went on to write the Rip Chords' "Hey Little Cobra" and the Academy Award-nominated Rocky theme song, "Gonna Fly Now." The year was 1958. Does anyone remember? Group of three 45 rpm vinyl "singles," for one price -- in fact, now reduced from $27.

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Not a book. We offer the 7-inch, 45 rpm extended play vinyl disc, only, identifying itself somewhat cryptically as "Volume 3." Presumably this originally came in a color picture sleeve (now missing) identifying itself as "Dick Clark's All-Time Hits Volume 3." Vinyl very-good-plus but the yellow label soiled and bearing the name of Previous Owner "Jeanne" several times. (A girl can't be too careful.) Now reduced from $15.

4to album, with the 29 pages of drawings on 28 leaves (on the rectos, except on one leaf, where they are on both sides). The album gives evidence of having been re-used, but gives no evidence as to the identity of the artist. While the covers of the album are worn, with the spine becoming detached, and with its leaves of discoloured high-acidity paper, all the drawings are clear and complete, consisting of twenty-eight full-page studies, and the remaining page (the first) with three studies on it. A few of the illustrations are lightly- and tastefully-coloured in pastel watercolour. Attractive illustrations, executed in an assured and striking style, with skilful cross-hatching adding depth to an accurate fine line, and with a slightly-disquieting anthropomorphic element. One teddy bear is dressed as an English army officer; another walks a dog and holds a balloon in front of an igloo; another drives a 1920s car along a winding road; another stands with a bicycle; another is dressed as a clown, with a striped stick; two play football with a quilted ball; twin bears, both in polka-dot shorts, embrace; one carries two pails of water, in buckets hanging from a pole balanced on his shoulders, from his cave, in which a fire burn. One illustration features several on a shelf in front of a bookcase; several others feature a monkey dressed as a hotel porter. There is one full-page drawing of Mickey Mouse, hand on hip, tongue out, looking upwards.
