ELFIN RHYMES By Norman
Facsimile of the original 1900 edition. Recommended. Art by Carton Moorepark. This charming children's book, written by an anonymous author known only as "Norman," was first published in 1900 and is now extremely rare. It features 11 rhymes that capture the mysterious and sometimes ridiculous world of goblins, witches and fairies. Naughty imps and elves love to play pranks, tease and make mischief on humans, animals and one another. And while few of these fairy tales have a happy ending, all of them offer the reader a moral lesson of sorts. Each verse is accompanied by several drawings by illustrator Carton Moorepark in either one, two or three simple colors. Art Books, 2018...More.

ABC An Alphabet Written & Pictured by Mrs. Arthur Gaskin
Highly Recommended. Authentic to the period, a lovely silkscreened green cloth cover with high-quality paper. This is both typical and atypical 1890s Victorian design. A child's ABC primer originally published in London in 1895 by Elkin Mathews and in Chicago by A. C. McClurg & Co. It was the first book by the Arts and Crafts artist and designer Georgie Gaskin (1866–1934), celebrated for the jewelry she produced with her husband Arthur Gaskin, one of the very important names in the early Arts and Crafts movement.

Recommended. By Franz Von Stuck. This early collection of graphic designs by German artist Franz von Stuck (1863–1928) features images intended for menu cards, wine lists, and other food service applications. Although produced for commercial use, the artist's excellent draftsmanship, clean graphic designs, and imaginative use of mythological subjects signal his later development as a leader of the Symbolist movement.

HARVEY HORRORS BLACK CAT MYSTERY Volume 1 Hardcover
Collects #30-35, 1951-52. Highly Recommended. Foreword by Christopher Fowler. Harvey Comics is best known for kid-friendly hits like Richie Rich and Little Dot. But like Atlas (Marvel) and EC, Harvey were perfectly happy to pull out all the stops on horror. Before the Comics Code, they produced many of the meatiest and wildest stories of gore and terror, ghosts and sudden death, strange creatures and madmen and madwomen. Comics fans consider their short but sweet run of horror next in line after EC, and equal to or better than the somewhat pedestrian fare from Atlas. PS Artbooks, 2012...More.

Wild and crazed stories of walking dead folks (loads of 'em)--some of them even still sporting their heads--witches, ghosts, werewolves and enough vampires to go into the second-hand dentures business. Rudy Palais delivers some wonderfully outré stories of evil femmes fatales, and there's even a cool Atom-Bomb story, "Day of Doom." PS Artbooks, 2017...More.

FORBIDDEN WORLDS Volume 8 Slipcased
Limited, 300! Collects #47-52, 1956-57. Highly Recommended. By Harry Lazarus, John Rosenberger, Ogden Whitney et al. The Comics Code had spoken.

TWO-FACE CELEBRATION OF 75 YEARS
Recommended. By Bill Finger et al. Art by Bob Kane, Dick Sprang, Jim Aparo, Neal Adams, Bruce Timm et al. Part man and part monster, Two-Face has been one of Batman’s most fearsome villains for more than 75 years! He’s an essential part of the Dark Knight’s rogues gallery, but unlike the Joker, Scarecrow or Bane, Two-Face alone has some good left inside his soul fighting his evil persona—half the time, anyway. Chaos or order. Life or death. Tragic fallen attorney or scar-faced fiend. It all depends on how the coin falls... From his first appearance in 1942, with five pre-code stories plus 11 more, the best of Two-Face. DC, 2017...More.
