Tony's Rare Book Spotlight
Aerial Industrial Photos of Cleveland and Detroit
 
Sometimes with book collections we acquire various types of paper ephemera. We presently offer a small lot consisting of seven modern quality glossy photographic reprints of 1950s aerial photos of industrial parts of Cleveland and Detroit. This Utah bookseller can’t identify the locations precisely but in one appears a water tower with Detroit’s Grinnell’s Piano Factory painted on its side. $50

Mormon historians Foster and Watson present more than two hundred photos and exclusive insights to explain how an estimated thirty thousand Fundamentalist Mormons still venerate a much-debated legacy—despite its difficult challenges—and persist in living plural marriage.
FRIDAY, JUNE 28 6:30 PM
Book Buyer, rare book conservator, and all around bibliomaniac Frank Pester will discuss the beginnings of American Conservation as seen through the lives of George Bird Grinnell, Theodore Roosevelt, and John Muir. Frank recently read  Grinnell: America’s Environmental Pioneer and His Restless Drive to Save the West  by John Taliaferro, and within the same time-frame acquired a collection of fine John Muir first editions. George Bird Grinnell’s life touched many of the historic personages and topics Frank collects. Grinnell attended paleontologist O.C. Marsh on his first expedition to the West. He saw the decline of the American Bison and with the magazine Forest and Stream and the support of Theodore Roosevelt started the American Conservation movement. As a collector and avid reader, Frank has immersed himself in these men’s lives and the books that tell their stories.
