New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1951. First edition. First edition. xiv, [16, photos], 474, xvii, [3] pp. Finely rebound by Asprey in full morocco with five raised bands, gilt spine lettering and ornate turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Near Fine. An expose of fascist networks active in the Middle East after WWII by muchraking anti-fascist journalist John Roy Carlson, an Armenian-American journalist whose bestselling book Under Cover brought similar networks in the US before and during WWII to light. Scholars of terrorism post 9/11 have called attention to some of the figures in this book as early proponents of Islamic fundmentalism and third-positionism. An unusual, obscure choice for such a luxurious binding, but for the intrepid collector of parapolitical literature and the history of political extremism perhaps it's ideal.

Description:
[Oklahoma City]: Works Progress Administration in the State of Oklahoma, 1938. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. First edition. Stapled orange pictorial wraps with clear spiderweb tissue guards. Illustrated. Very Good condition overall. Small chip to upper corner of front cover and another on back cover that effects the tissue-guard. Cover worn at bottom staple. In much better shape than usually found as wraps are quite brittle. Before any of his well-known hard-boiled suspense novels, Thompson wrote and edited this guidebook for the Federal Writers' Project of Oklahoma. He was a Communist Party member at the time and his writing here, stylistically, is far removed from his comparatively-apolitical, suspenseful pulp novels of the pulp era.

Very Good, spine chipped and repaired, creasing and chips along edges of wraps. Faint vertical crease throughout. A few small stains and; small marginal dampstain to the final 12 or so pages. Repair to corner tear on p. 11. Marginal repair to p. 31. Housed in a custom half morocco chemise slipcase. Scarce in the original wrappers. Almost always found disbound or rebound as many pamphlets of this time were bound with other pamphlets and the wrappers were removed. One of the first, and scarcest of the gold rush guides, called by Norris "an extremely rare, early guide to the California gold mines." Howes was of the opinion that the compiler was Pratt, the publisher listed on the title page (but not these wraps), who gathered together information from various sources, including Colonel R.B. Mason's report, a letter of Thomas Larkin dated June 1, 1848,…
