Chicago, No publisher Given, 1949. Wraps. No publisher given. Chicago: 1949. Single sheet folded into four pages. Black and white photos and illustrations abound! With a stated circulation of 50,880. Fifth issue of this small magazine issued by the Kukla, Fran and Ollie Show, essentially an early fanzine for fans of the show. The Kuklapolitan Courier began in 1948, increasing in circulation until 1950, when it changed to a book format and was issued as a yearbook. Kukla, Fran and Ollie was ostensibly a television show for children, created by Burr Tilllstrom, in 1947. It involved puppets interacting with a woman, Fran. Using subtle humor based on the characters of the show, Kukla, Fran and Ollie became more of a hit with adults, and ran in various formats from 1947 to 1957. This issue of the Courier celebrates the show going national, behind the scenes photos, and a subtle advertisement for RCA, one of the show's sponsors. GOOD condition. Horizontal fold crease present. General toning. Minor soiling, creasing and wrinkling. Good .

The Secret Language of Doctors Cracking the Code of Hospital Culture

Chicago: Triumph Books, 2015. Paperback. ISBN: 1629370924. 8.9 X 6.0 X 0.9 inches; 351 pages; Soft cover has white spine with black lettering. NEW. "Most people have visited a doctor's office or emergency room in their lifetime to gain clarity about an ailment or check in after a procedure. While doctors strive to ensure their patients understand their diagnoses, rarely do those outside the medical community understand the words and phrases we hear practitioners yell across a hospital hallway or murmur to a colleague behind office doors. Doctors and nurses use a kind of secret language, comprised of words unlikely to be found in a medical textbook or heard on television. In The Secret Language of Doctors, Dr. Brian Goldman decodes those code words for the average patient. What does it mean when a patient has the symptoms of "incarceritis"? What are "blocking" and "turfing"? And why do you never want to be diagnosed with a "horrendoma"? Dr. Goldman reveals the meaning behind the colorful and secret expressions doctors use to describe difficult patients, situations, and medical conditions--including those they don't want you to know. Gain profound insight into what doctors really think about patients in this funny and biting examination of modern medical culture.". New .

"Internationally recognized as the father of video art, Korean-born artist Nam June Paik (1932-2006) transformed 20th-century art. His innovative, media-based artwork was grounded in the practices of avant-garde music and performance art, which he used to expand video and television as artistic expressions in contemporary visual culture. Nam June Paik: Global Visionary features key artworks from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection as well as loans from Museum Moderner Kunst in Vienna, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College and the recently acquired Nam June Paik Estate Archive. A wide selection of materials including televisions, radios, antiques, toys, cameras, announcements for exhibitions and performances, and correspondence give an unprecedented view into Paik's artworks and working practice, revealing the influences of Asian and Western philosophy as well as developments in technology and science"-- Publisher's website.

From Pop to Punk to Postmodernism: Popular Music and Australian Culture from the 1960s to the 1990s

Allen & Unwin 1993 Paperback, 188pp. Is there anything distinctive about Australian popular music? Or are Kylie Minogue and Midnight Oil simply part of the international music market? What about Aboriginal bands such as Yothu Yindi? Are they another version of different story to tell? From Pop to Punk to Postmodernism takes a close look at Australian popular music and the context in which it is created, heard and sold. It looks at record companies and radio stations, music video and television, analysing their influence on the music we hear. It looks at the pub rock scene and the barriers this presents for female rock musicians. It also looks at how music: fits into youth culture: the creation of pop music in the 1950s and 1960s, the punk scene of the early 1980s and the recent phenomenon of the dance party. From Pop to Punk to Postmodernism is a lively, readable study of Australian popular music and popular culture and includes contributions by music critics Craig McGregor, Marcus Breen, Graeme Turner and Sally Stockbridge. (ISBN: 9781863732512). Good.

Hockney, David & Martin Gayford:

A History of Pictures. From the Cave to the Computerscreen. (David Hockney)

2016, (21,5 x 27,8 cm), 360 pp. English text, 310 ills., hardcover with dustwrappers.
¶ Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing and making images with cameras, David Hockney, in collaboration with the art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been made. What makes marks on a flat surface interesting? How do you show movement in a still picture, and how do films and television connect with old masters? What are the ways in which time and space can be condensed into a static image? What do pictures show - truth or lies? Do photographs present the world as we experience it? Juxtaposing a rich variety of images - a still from a Disney cartoon with a print by Hiroshige, a scene from an Eisenstein film with a Velázquez painting - the authors cross the normal boundaries between high culture and popular entertainment, and make unexpected connections across time and media. Building on Hockney's groundbreaking book Secret Knowledge, they argue that film, photography, painting and drawing are deeply interconnected. Insightful and thought-provoking, A History of Pictures is an important contribution to our appreciation of how we represent our reality.
