Biggers, Earl Derr
The Chinese Parrot
Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap Publishers New York, 1926
The Chinese Parrot. By Earl Derr Biggs. New York: Grosset & Dunlap Publishers, 1926. Hardcover. This is an early Charlie Chan mystery. "Here is humor and with--gay young humor, and careless wit. And here is a fine plot which is ingeniously contrived and perfectly solved. The California desert, with its deformed Joshua trees, its vast expanse of sand, its incredibly near stars under tremendous night, is the location. But we have glimpses of San Francisco and Hollywood with streets showing living examples of what the well-dressed man and woman will wear if not carefully watched. Charlie Chan, the self-deprecatory Chinese detective, whom readers of The House Without A Key will remember with joy, brings the Jordan necklace to the lonely ranch of the great financier, P. J. Madden. The Chinese Parrot shrieks in the night--HELP! MURDER! PUT DOWN THAT GUN!--and from then on sinister, funny, unexpected, desperate, comical, and highly disturbing things keep happening on the ranch. They build up to a thrilling climax." 316 pages. This is an early edition of an early Charlie Chan novel. It is difficult to find with a dust jacket! Book is in GOOD or better condition. Dust jacket is in GOOD condition; shelfwear. Good.

Blake, Emmet Reid, Illustrated by: Douglas E. Tibbitts
Birds of Mexico: A Guide for Field Identification
Publisher: University of Chicago Press Chicago, IL, 1972
"Birds of Mexico fills the need for a comprehensive and authoritative guide to Mexican bird life. Written in a simple, direct style and using non-technical terms, it accomplishes its prime purpose--the sight identification of birds in their natural habitat--in a manner that will be useful to the novice and specialist alike. The only complete guide to the field identification of Mexican birds, it treats all of the 967 species and 2, 000-odd geographical varieties that constitute so colorful and interesting a part of the landscape of Mexico (including Lower California) and its adjacent waters and associated islands. While intended primarily for this territory, Birds of Mexico will serve almost equally well in Guatemala and elsewhere in northern Middle America. "In addition to resident birds, all migrants from the United States are described, and their distribution while in Mexico is briefly outlined. Mr. Blake has used simple dichotomous ikeys to conspicuous characters as the the focal points for preliminary identification. His keys, his graphic text descriptions, and the illustrations will enable the bird watcher to identify practically any bird seen in Mexico. Though essentially a guide for field identification, Birds of Mexico will also be useful to museum workers and other students as a handy reference to Mexican birds. "More than a third of the birds recorded in Mexico are illustrated with superb line drawings by Douglas E. Tibbitts, staff artist of the Chicago Natural History Museum. His subjects, comprising a representative cross-section of Mexican bird life, include numerous northern species as well as exotic tropical forms. Each picture serves a dual purpose in that it both identifies a species and also helps to demonstrate the range of variation within a family. The characteristic habitats of many tropical bird families are portrayed as a further aid to visiting bird watchers." xxx + 644 pages with index. . Good. Hard Cover. Book condition: Very Good

.For earnest thinkers and painstaking pen-men the field of the Occult is open. They need to equip themselves with accurate knowledge of both the principles and the details of psychic science. The master-Occultist of the 19th century, H. P. Blavatsky sparingly used the story as a means of popularizing and conveying some of the profound truths of Occultism. We reprint a number of her stories as well as those of her colleague W. Q. Judge. For in the form of their fiction will be found entertainment for those who wish to be merely amused and for the discerning, many hints and much illumination together with grave warnings against occult dabbling

Bloch, Marc
The Historian's Craft
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf New York, 1959
The Historians Craft. By Marc Bloch; introduction by Joseph R. Strayer; translated from the French by Peter Putnam. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1959. Hardcover. Bloch was a prominent French historian. During World War II, because of his Jewish ancestry, he was forced from academic life. He joined the Resistance, but was captured by the Germans in 1944, imprisoned, mistreated and eventually executed. "The book was never finished. But, in the large fragment which was completed, we find no bitterness, no discouragement. Bloch kept his serenity, his faith in France, and his belief in the value of history. He used a few of his war experiences, as he used other episodes in his life, to illustrate attitudes and beliefs which he felt were common to many men. But this book is not a product of the war; it is the fruit of the long years of peaceful study and reflection which made him a master of his trade. As such, it is worth careful study. Not that Bloch was the greatest French historian of his generation, though he would certainly rank high in any list. Not even that he was widely read--others excelled in that art of combining knowledge with readability which has distinguished French scholarship for many years. His real eminence lay in the fact that he actually put into practice those recommendations for a new kind of history which the profession has been endorsing-and ignoring-- for the last fifty years

Lectures Upon the History of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. By the Rev. Henry Blunt, A. M. Philadelphia, PA: H. Hooker, 1851. Antiquarian hardcover. "In understanding the present history, the author felt more anxiety, and in committing it to the press he still feels more hesitation, than on any former occasion. The narrative of the life of our divine Lord and Master forms the sum and substance of the Gospels. To comment upon this, in a manner at all equal to its requirements, is far beyond the authors powers; to comment upon it plainly, and scripturally, and usefully, is all at which he aims; but for this much labour, and prayer, and time are needed

Bodard, Lucien
The Quicksand War: Prelude to Vietnam
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Boston, MA, 1967
The Quicksand War: Prelude to Vietnam. By Lucien Bodard; translated with an introduction by Patrick OBrian. Boston, MA: Little, Brown and Company, 1967. First edition (stated). Hardcover. "This book is an eyewitness chronicle of the crucial years 1946-1950 in French Indochina. It is unique; it is an overwhelming experience; but above all, it is timely. Nowhere else will the American reader get a better sense of the Vietnamese people and their aspirations, nor of the immutable forces that have prevented a solution in the past and that are sure to govern the outcome in the future. Our involvement in Vietnam has been poorly understood, as Walter Lippmann has pointed out, because we have so little deep background knowledge. The Quicksand War begins to fill that gap
.Bodard describes the colonial recon quest, the emergence of Ho Chi Minh, the forging of his revolutionary army, the confrontations with China. He shows how Saigonese prosperity and corruption, the bureaucrats blindness and the French Armys touchy pride combined to further the happy war and what a dirty war it was. We see how the Americans, some Quiet and some Ugly, first came to Saigon; and how, through epic battles and filthy deals, the stage was set for a tragic last act

Bonsal, Stephen
The American Mediterranean
Publisher: Moffat, Yard and Company New York, 1912
The American Mediterranean. By Stephen Bonsal. New York: Moffat, Yard and Company, 1912. Hardcover. "In the following pages I have attempted to bring together the records and the impressions of many voyages in the American Mediterranean and many visits to all the Caribbean countries made by me during the last twenty years. In those countries, where recent developments have been along traditional lines, such as unhappily has been the case in Hayti, I have made but little effort to more than summarise events which have occurred subsequent to the date of my last visit. Our merchants and our legislators are at last awakening to the possibilities of the new world that borders the great South Sea to which the shipping and the industries of two hemispheres will soon penetrate through the water-gates of Panama. Before I myself follow in the wake of those pioneers I have in this volume sought to impress upon possible readers the great beauties and the magnificent resources of the lands nearer home which have never been separated from us by the geographical obstacle which the genius of the American people has at last surmounted, which to-morrow will lie adjacent to the main-traveled roads of the sea that are about to be re-charted to meet the almost miraculously changed conditions of the water-way through the Isthmus

Bosworth, Illustrated by: Matsuoka, Jack
Ginza Go, Papa-san
Publisher: Charles E. Tuttle Company Rutland, VT, 1956
"Ginza Go, Papa-san grew out of a witty essay in the Saturday Evening Post and is a book whose charm and homor is so singular that it is best explained by a synopsis of a few of the sixteen chapters: "Lets All Climb Fuji-san, in which a middle-aged man (only the moustache is old) forms the Allan R. Bosworth Memorial Expedition and its proven that one can climb 1, 600 feet on three bottles of bourbon, concluding with Bee-hind justa rittle hurt. "The Templed Hills of Koya-san, wherein Papa-san visits the famous Buddhist retreat located on Mt. Koya and discovers that true religion neither knows nor acknowledges any racial barriers and that a love of humanity whether expressed in English or Japanese is a refreshing discovery. "Sashimi! O-sushi! Raw, Raw, Raw! In which Papa-san fights with the raw dishes served at a Japanese meal and discovers that some are so raw that they arent even dead. Concluding with a sensational battle with the ollest oddity of all raw Japanese delicacies--the octopus. "Some Elder Literary Gentlemen, wherein the opinions on Japan of Hearn, Paris, and Very Proper Englishmen are seen in retrospect and it is proposed that either too much or too little affection for people hampers understanding. "Driving is Justa Little Different, in which Papa-san looks up some driving rules at the Tokyo Central Police Station sees: When a passenger of and the foot heave in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet at him. Melodiously at first, but if he still obstacles your way tootle him with vigor. "Through his wit, humor, and love of people, Allan R. Bosworth has captured a quality of profound understanding seldom found in the more learned and academic works on the Japanese. A deep and abiding affection for the people of Japan has neither dulled his keen wit nor affected his objectivity. In Ginza Go, Papa-san he has succeeded in achieving a delicate balance between humor and understanding that makes light, informative, and poignant reading." Nicely illustrated. 208 pages. No Jacket.
