RUSHDIE SALMAN: (1947- ) British Indian Novelist & Essayist. Book signed, being a hardback edition of The Satanic Verses, First UK Edition,published by Viking, London, 1988. Signed by Rushdie in black ink to the title page, also adding 'to Humour' in his hand beneath his signature. Accompanied by the dust jacket, with some fading to the spine, otherwise VG The 1981 Booker Prize winning Rushdie's work combines magical realism with historical fiction and much of his work is set on the Indian subcontinent. His fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, was the subject of a major controversy which resulted in the British government placing the author under police protection. In 2008 The Times ranked Rushdie thirteenth on its list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945. In a talk given by Rushdie at The Forum, Bath, on the 25th May 2017, as part of the Bath Festival, and the occasion on which the present book was signed, Rushdie remarked that a lot of things had been said about his book, but not many had proclaimed that it was actually funny. This is the reason for his having added the words 'to Humour' in the present book. Also the additional words are a symbol of defiance to the fatwa called against Rushdie.

DYLAN BOB: (1941- ) American Singer & Songwriter, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 2016. A hardback bound 4to edition of Hematite, the yearbook of Hibbing High School, issued in 1959 and thus marking the 50th anniversary since the first yearbook was issued in 1909 (then entitled The Rail Splitter when the school was known as Lincoln High School), the present copy previously belonging to student Marietta Turk and bearing a number of signatures and inscriptions to her by various friends and fellow students including Bob Dylan. The front pastedown and front free endpaper feature nine individual blue ink signatures and inscriptions, Dylan’s appearing just below the centre of the front free endpaper and stating, in full, ‘I’ll write under Echo’s name. Good luck in your acting career. Everyone knows you’ll make a good one. Sincerely, Bob Zimmerman’. Other signatures and inscriptions to the pages include those of Echo Helstrom (who dated Dylan whilst at Hibbing High School), ‘Hi Turk, I don’t have to bid you a fond farewell because I’ll most likely see you in the L & B. It sure has been nice having you as a friend all these years. I hope we can continue to stay friends as the years progress. A pal, Echo’, Rochelle Matonich (‘Well, the last of our high school years is finally over. It was really nice having you in Dramatics. Remember “Sob Stuff”. Boy was that play a blast. Don’t forget our Winston breaks….’), Judith Hendrickson (‘Remember the days when we were back at old Lincoln….How can we forget. The past twelve years have been long waited for to come to an end, and here we are…..’) etc., and a few further signatures and inscriptions appear to other pages at both the front and back of the Yearbook, two also referring to an individual named Bob (Dylan?), ‘I remember the first night I met Bob and I slept over your house because I would have come home late. The only trouble with that was that I didn’t call my parents so they made me stay in for 2 weeks’ and ‘Remember all the trips to the Y.M.C.A. to see Bob & Tom, when we got there we were too embarrassed to talk to them. Sure hope I see them again in the future’. The inside pages of the yearbook are profusely illustrated and with accompanying text relating to various school events etc., and also feature small portraits of the students, including the young Dylan (‘Robert Zimmerman’) whom the printed text states wishes ‘to join “Little Richard”’. An extremely rare and early example of Dylan’s autograph in a yearbook which also records his early musical ambition! Some light overall age wear, a few inside pages loose and with some small areas of paper loss to the lower right corners of the first pages (including the one signed by Dylan) caused by previous damp exposure, otherwise about VG Provenance: the present yearbook is accompanied by a typed statement of provenance signed by Marietta Turk in August 2017, headed ‘My Friendship with Bob Dylan’ and stating, in part, ‘…I went to Hibbing High School with Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan in 1957, 1958 and 1959. I had him in almost all of my classes and he sat behind me in auditorium, so we were in close proximity. His girl friend Echo Helstrom was a good friend of mine and they were “dating” for a period of time. We hung out at the L & B Café….at lunch or after school. We all wore black leather jackets. Sometimes Bob wore a shiny vest and a cowboy hat. There we talked, played the small jukebox in our booth, drank chocolate coca cola, and smoked cigarettes. In our senior year, 1959, Bob and I and some others had Dramatics Class together and were in a play called Sob Story….It must have been okay because the audience roared with laughter and applause. Hence, Bob wrote in my yearbook “Good luck in your acting career. Everyone knows you’ll make a good one”.’ Bob Dylan, born Robert Zimmerman, formed several bands while attending Hibbing High School in Minnesota, including one named the Golden Chords who performed covers of songs by Little Richard and Elvis Presley. .

Jimi Hendrix & Zoot Money - The first guitar Jimi Hendrix played on UK soil. A mid 1960s Wandre Blue Jeans electric guitar, made in Italy, brunette finish with custom stickers added to the table and back, within a vintage Stone Case Company hard case. Sold with a hand written letter of provenance from Zoot Money and a signed, sealed re-mastered vinyl edition of his 1966 album 'Zoot Money's Big Roll Band' *In September of 1966, Chas Chandler of The Animals arrived at Heathrow, London with Jimi Hendrix via an overnight flight from New York. As was customary for Chas when in town, he went straight by Zoot's flat in West London to see if he knew anyone with a left handed guitar that Jimi could borrow to perform at the Bag 'O' Nails or Scotch of St. James that evening. Zoot recalls 'I couldn't let him use one of Andy Summers guitars that were in the flat below because he would have killed me!'. As they were sat discussing who to call, Jimi played around on his Wandre Italian guitar with Zoot saying that he would be happy to re-string the guitar in reverse if he was desperate, which he refused, but did comment on it having a nice easy action. This visit with Chas has been written of and mentioned in many biographies to date. Although Jimi never used this guitar in a gig, it was in fact the first guitar he ever played in England. Zoot remembers 'I had only purchased it to start some Chuck Berry songs on stage, because as I said Andy would not let me near his guitars! The strings are in fact still the strings that were on it that night! Later many other people tinkered on it including Jose Feliciano. Since those days, mainly it has been hidden as I later purchased an acoustic to use for writing'.
