NELSON, Ted. Literary Machines. Ann Arbor: XOC inc., 1981. Quarto, irregularly paginated. Second edition. Good + in illustrated paper wraps. Coffee stain to front wrapper and phone number inked onto rear wrapper; discreet previous ownership signature in ink on first page. Nelson, pioneer of information technology and coiner of the terms "hypertext" and "hypermedia" (as well as the lesser known but far more interesting "teledildonics" - the future of haptic technology and exactly what it sounds like!), explains in depth the term "hypertext" as he intended it, and devotes considerable space to various aspects of his never-really-to-materialize Project Xanadu, an ideal, utopian, alternative Internet which has occupied Nelson since 1960. The format of the present book is unique in that, attempting to be a sort of textual hypertext, the sections can be read in a variety of orders.

NEZVAL, Vítęzslav. Pantomima. Prague: Ústrędně Studentské Knihkupectví A Nakladatelství, 1924. Octavo, 142pp. First edition of this anthology of Devetsil poetry by Nezval, with six illustrations and an insertion by Jindrich Styrsky, with work by Marie Laurencin and unattributed photo portrait of Nezval. This is the first major collection of the author's poetry, in the heyday of the Devetsil group. It is also contains an abundant offering of early Jindrich Styrsky. Inscribed by Nezval with an original poem of 10 lines, mixing surrealist and classical images, probably improvisatory in nature and possibly not published elsewhere. Dedicated to Jiri Jizek and his companion, "Priteli Jiri Jizkovi a Maienki na pamatku jejich...," the poem begins with the lines: "Jericho vencener vavriny/Evin potabec v pernikovem mori/..." and ends with the line, "Achiles v prilbici nad Tebou bdi." In custom cloth boards over original wrappers, lacks colophon page, and with light pencil markings and poetry by another end, else very good.
