  Zurich: Lars Muller Publishers and Fukutake Foundation, 2011. Hardcover. Large 8vo., 453 pp., color plates, maps, appendix. Fine in fine dust jacket. Item #122234   The islands of Naoshima, Teshima, and Inujima in Japan’s Seto Inland Sea are places of pilgrimage for friends of contemporary art and architecture. Alongside works in public spaces as well as site-specific installations, the islands are also full of numerous museums and collections of contemporary art. This book offers a comprehensive documentation of this unique cultural landscape surrounded by Japan’s Inland Sea. The photographs by the Dutch photographer Iwan Baan, ranging from tiny details to giant panoramas, create a comprehensive portrait of the islands with their fluid transitions between nature, art, and architecture.    Numerous texts introduce readers to the individual areas and projects that are either permanently on display on the islands or have taken place there temporarily. In addition, other essays deal with the island as a cultural concept and phenomenon. Among others, the book presents buildings by Kazuyo Sejima, Ruye Nishizawa, Tadao Ando, and Hiroshi Sambuichi. A scarce and important reference work.      less

  32.1 Rare Books + Ephemera

  New York: Random House, 1970. Hardcover. 8vo., 428 pp.  First Edition. Original unclipped [$6.95] color pictorial dust jacket, designed by Bob Antler with illustration by Howard Brodie. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Item #420299.   Memoir by one of the founders of the Black Panthers, with a focus on his trial as one of the Chicago 8 and written during Bobby Seale’s time in prison as one of its defendants. An important firsthand account of the early days of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense   First published in 1970, ‘Seize the Time’  is one of the foundational firsthand accounts of the Black Panther Party and the Black Power movement of the late 1960s. Written by Seale, the Party’s co-founder and national chairman, the book combines political history, personal memoir, and revolutionary manifesto. It vividly chronicles the rise of the Panthers, their community programs, confrontations with police, and the persecution they faced from the U.S. government. Its historic importance lies in its authenticity—it was written from within the movement itself, offering an unfiltered voice of protest, resistance, and Black self-determination at a time when mainstream media largely vilified the Panthers. The book remains a cornerstone of radical American literature, studied for its insight into race, power, and justice during a turbulent era.   Early printings, particularly the first edition published by Random House in 1970, have become increasingly scarce and collectible, especially copies in good condition or inscribed by Seale, due to both their cultural resonance and their place in the canon of 20th-century political activism. less
