ANIMAL HOUSESubway (59.25" x 45")Fine+ Folded; Artist Rick Meyerowitz Universal, 1978Nothing captures the spirit of National Lampoon and especially Animal House as a movie better than the ruckus artwork by Rick Meyerowitz. Staged and designed right out of the pages of the infamous funny magazine, this massive Subway poster puts his work on grandiose display in a fetching format that is much less seen but more desired.This poster shows foxing around the far right edges. Otherwise, the poster is in great shape.As well as being the first film produced by the popular humor magazine National Lampoon, John Landis' college campus comedy Animal House also launched the big-screen career of Saturday Night Live star John Belushi.

LET IT BEOne-Sheet (27" x 41")Very Fine+ Folded United Artists, 1970A poster with scattered crimping, mostly in the borders, and pinpoint separation on all cross folds, but otherwise displays very well.With the advent of Peter Jackson's excellent and revealing use of hundreds of hours of footage never seen before in Get Back, the true story of Michael Lindsay-Hogg's documentary reveals itself. This 1970 documentary records the Fab Four's final days constructing their notorious and oft-delayed last album. The highlight of this film is the Beatle's legendary rooftop concert interrupted by London police, a cathartic reminder of the energy of rock and the band's spirit only briefly recaptured.This lot will be auctioned on Friday, December 8th.

[HAZLITT, William (1778-1830)]. Liber Amoris; Or, the New Pygmalion, London, 1823, 12mo, engraved title with portrait (some very light staining), contemporary red half morocco. FIRST EDITION. Provenance: ANTHONY EDEN (1897-1977, 1st Earl of Avon).[HAZLITT, William (1778-1830)]. Liber Amoris; Or, the New Pygmalion. London: "Printed for John Hunt ... by C. H. Reynell," 1823. 12mo (172 x 195mm). Engraved title with a small oval portrait of Sarah Walker (some very light mainly marginal staining and spotting, the year of publication in the imprint partly cropped). Contemporary red half morocco gilt (extremities rubbed, head of spine torn). Provenance: ANTHONY EDEN (1897-1977, 1st Earl of Avon); Samuel Sanders (old signature to front pastedown). FIRST EDITION of this impassioned - some might say 'unhinged' - autobiographical work which was, for obvious reasons, published anonymously. Indeed, the "Advertisement" at the beginning claims that the author has died prior to the book's publication "... of disappointment preying on a sickly frame and morbid state of mind." Following an estrangement from his first wife, Hazlitt took lodgings in Chancery Lane where he developed an obsessive passion for his landlord's daughter, Sarah Walker, which "almost verged upon madness" (DNB). Having obtained a divorce from his wife, Hazlitt became convinced " ... that Miss Walker had been all along deceiving him, and preferred a younger lover. He put together the strange book 'Liber Amoris' ... The mask of anonymity was transparent to all the persons concerned, especially as he poured out his grievances to any one who would listen. De Quincey charitably calls the book an 'explosion of frenzy', necessary to 'empty his overburdened spirit.'" (DNB) "... the intensity of his sufferings is obvious through all the absurdities of the Liber Amoris ... At the beginning of 1823 [Hazlitt] was still reluctant to publish [it] but the girl was still burdening his mind, and his biographer suggests the publication was finally decided upon in order to 'burn her out of his thoughts'" (from Keynes' introduction to Hazlitt's Selected Essays (London, Nonesuch Press, 1946). Keynes 67.

Talks with the Dead. Luminous Rays from the Unseen World. Illustrated with Spirit Photographs ... New Edition, Revised and Enlarged. London: John Lobb, 1907. 8vo (185 x 125mm). Monochrome "photographed" frontispiece and illustrations, some full-page (G2 torn at margin without loss, some very faint marginal browning). Original red pictorial pictorial cloth decorated in gilt and blind (the spine a little faded, some very light staining). Provenance: "Reginald Rolls, from Mother, Xmas 1908" (signature on front free endpaper); bookseller's stamp at the foot of the title, beneath the imprint. "The first edition [of 1906] of two thousand copies of 'Talks with the Dead' were bought up within a few months, without the ordinary trade methods of 'subscription,' 'on sale or return,' and advertising. Letters have reached me from all parts of the world, and the crowded audiences to hear more, testify to the awakening" (from the author's preface, dated July 1907).
