Beijing 1993], New World. Green cloth, bright, "as new" copy unclipped dj. in mylar protector, 690p., index, many b. w. photos, 13.5 x 20.7 cm. AUTHOR'S SIGNED DATED PRESENTATION COPY TO BILL [POWELL] & HIS WIFE. FIRST & ONLY EDITION A superb biography of the author's old friend.

Very good. Creasing. Size 37.5 x 26.5 Inches. A true rarity, this is a c. 1949 E. Lewin Epstein city map of Yafo / Jaffa, Israel. Here in a proof state, this is likely the first published Israeli map of Jaffa. Individual buildings are illustrated and streets are labeled throughout. An index, situated along the right side, lists 106 locations throughout the city. Proof State Each of the 106 locations identified in the index is provided a number. Presumably, these numbers would be used to identify each location with a corresponding number on the map. In this example, circles intended for numbers are blank (except for one, which bears the number '4'). This omission suggests the present map is an incomplete proof. Dating the Map From index, we can deduce this map was printed between 1948 and 1950. The Yafor Theater, identified under the index's 'Theater' section, began in 1937 as the Alhambra Cinema, one of the most luxurious movie theaters in Palestine. After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the theater rebranded as the Yafor. Anglo-Palestine Ltd. is identified under the 'Bank' section of the index. Anglo-Palestine Ltd. formed in 1902 and opened its first branch in Jaffa in 1903. It was renamed Bank Leumi le-Israel in 1950. Publication History and Census This map was created by the municipality of Tel Aviv and published c. 1949 by E. Lewin Epstein Ltd. As this is a proof state, this is a unique, perhaps one-of-a-kind item. Its rarity is increased by the fact that we have been unable to locate any other examples, either proofs or production editions, suggesting that this map may never have been published in quantity.

Beijing [1983], New World Press. Stiff color pictorial wrs., very good, map, 566p., index, notes, appendicies, English text, 14 x 20.3 cm., errata slip. FIRST EDITION AUTHOR'S TWICE SIGNED, DATED PRESENTATION COPY TO BILL POWELL & WIFE Israel Epstein [April 20, 1915 in Warsaw, Poland -May 26, 2005] died in Beijing, and was a naturalized Chinese journalist and author. He was one of the few foreign-born Chinese citizens of non-Chinese origin to become a member of the Communist Party of China. His Chinese name was Yisiléi'er Àipositan. * HIS EARLY LIFE IN CHINA WITH HIS PARENTS: Israel Epstein was born in Warsaw, which was at the time under Imperial Russian control. His father had been imprisoned by the authorities of Czarist Russia for leading a labor uprising and his mother had been exiled to Siberia. Epstein's father was sent by his company to Japan after the outbreak of the World War I; when the German Army approached Warsaw, his mother and Epstein fled and joined him in Asia. With his family experiencing anti-Jewish sentiment in several places, in 1917, Epstein came to China with his parents at the age of two and they settled in Tianjin (formerly Tientsin) in 1920. * HIS LIFE AS A JOURNALIST IN CHINA; Israel Epstein began to work in journalism at age 15, when he wrote for the Peking and Tientsin Times, an English-language newspaper based in Tianjin. He also covered the Japanese Invasion of China for the United Press and other Western news agencies. In the autumn of 1938, he joined the China Defense League, which had been established by Soong Ching-ling, Sun Yat-sen's widow, for the purpose of publicizing and enlisting international support for the Chinese cause. In 1941, he faked news about his own death as a decoy for the Japanese who were trying to arrest him. The misinformation even found its way into a short item printed in the New York Times. . After being assigned to review one of the books of Edgar Snow, Israel Epstein and Snow came to know each other personally and Snow showed him his classic work Red Star Over China before it was published. . In 1934, Epstein married Edith Bihovsky Epstein, later Ballin, from whom he was divorced in the early 1940s. In 1944, Epstein first visited Britain and afterwards went to live in the United States with his second wife Elsie Fairfax-Cholmeley for five years. During this time, he worked for Allied Labor News and published his book The Unfinished Revolution in China in 1947. His book was enthusiastically reviewed in The New York Times by the influential U.S. State Department adviser, Professor Owen Lattimore of Johns Hopkins University. In 1951 Communist defector Elizabeth Bentley testified to the U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee that "Israel Epstein had been a member of the Russian secret police for many years in China."[1] Many years later, his wife, Ms. Cholmeley, would become known to a generation of Chinese language students in China and around the world as a contributor to one of the most widely used Chinese-English dictionaries published in the PRC. After Ms. Cholmeley's death in 1984, Israel Epstein married his third wife, Wan Bi. *** THIS BOOK: Epstein had visited Tibet earlier, and the map shows the * SIGNED BY EPSTEIN & FONDLY & PRESENTATION TO HIS OLD FRIEND: This rare twice signed & dated presentation copy is to Bill Powell and his wife. * PRIVATE LIBRARY BOOKPLATE: This copy has the Bill Powell bookplate. He and his father, John B. Powell were the editors of the Shanghai-based periodical, The China Weekly review.
