Dear ARLIS and VRA colleagues:
Andrew Lee, the librarian in the Tamiment Library here at NYU (labor
and social history), found a wonderful illustrated book described
below. He cannot verify another copy of it. Please reply to him
directly (and to the list if you want).
Thanks.

I recently picked up with a number of books, pamphlets, and serials
a fascinating item: a  bound volume of engravings that look to be an
artist's book.

These are the individual pages prints that identify the work (in the
order that they appear in the bound volume):

 =22This is Book Number 2, made in the Old Howard Building Seatle,
1935, Tony Perez=22.

=22Dedicated to International labor Defence=22

 =22Introduction by Michael Gold=22

=22=5FScottsboro Alabama A Story in Linoleum Cuts=5F by
Lin Shi Khan and Tony Perez=22

All these are themselves linoleum cuts pasted onto what seems to be
purple construction paper.  The =222=22 and =22Tony Perez=22  are written in
pencil.  The foreword by Gold is a typed mimeo on thin paper and
pasted in.

The book itself  is a fascinating account of African-American history
and Scoottsboro.

I cannot find any entry for this item in RLIN or OCLC.  Has
anyone seen this before?
