Hardcover. NY, Grosset & Dunlap, reprint, Book: Good, Dust Jacket: Good, Hardcover in a worn, chipped dust jacket. First published in 1928, The Missing Chums is the fourth book in the Hardy Boys series. This appears to be a 1950s reprint. Follow Frank and Joe Hardy as they grapple with the unexplained disappearance of their closest friends, Chet and Biff, during a motorboat trip. The stakes are high, as Baldy Turk's gang think they've kidnapped Frank and Joe and, in a letter received by the Hardy Boys' Aunt Gertrude, are demanding ransom for their return. An investigation leads them to the mysterious Blacksnake Island, where they, too, are captured by the gang of criminals. Not only is the local bank robbed, but two of the Hardy boys' pals mysteriously disappear after a masquerade party. Are the events related? How the Hardy boys use all their courage and skill to outwit the criminals provides an exciting climax to one of the most baffling mysteries the young detectives have ever encountered. Clean copy, paper tanning.
Softcover. Cambridge MA, Harvard University Press, 3rd pr., 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 541 pages. It wasn't all black or white. It wasn't a vogue. It wasn't a failure. By restoring interracial dimensions left out of accounts of the Harlem Renaissance--or blamed for corrupting it--George Hutchinson transforms our understanding of black (and white) literary modernism, interracial literary relations, and twentieth-century cultural nationalism in the United States. What has been missing from literary histories of the time is a broader sense of the intellectual context of the Harlem Renaissance, and Hutchinson supplies that here: Boas's anthropology, Park's sociology, various strands of pragmatism and cultural nationalism--ideas that shaped the New Negro movement and the literary field, where the movement flourished. Hutchinson tracks the resulting transformation of literary institutions and organizations in the 1920s, offering a detailed account of the journals and presses, black and white, that published the work of the "New Negroes." This cultural excavation discredits bedrock assumptions about the motives of white interest in the renaissance, and about black relationships to white intellectuals of the period. Clean copy.

Edward Hart, an ex-farmer, has lived and worked with shepherds for many years.

Hardcover. Museums of San Francisco/ DelMonico Books, 1st, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. In 1974 the photojournalist and art photographer Steve Kahn began a series of provocative black-and-white Polaroids of porn-industry models posing in seedy Hollywood apartments.
