Александра Экстер как живописец и художник сцены [Aleksandra Ekster as a Painter and Stage Designer], by Yakov Tugendhold. Berlin: Saria, 1922. Russian.
The earliest known monograph relating to Aleksandra Aleksandrovna Ekster (1882-1949), a Ukrainian-born avant-garde and cubo-futuristic painter, and stage and costume designer. Ekster was among the most notable of Russian and Ukrainian avant-garde artists. She lived and worked in a number of cities, among them Kiev, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Vienna, and Paris, and taught and influenced a host of artists, including Boris Aronson, Yisakhar Rybak, and Yitzhak Frenkel.
Four plates featuring her works (glued to the pages, three of them in color) appear in the main part of the book, while an additional 39 black-and-white plates are presented at the end of the book. These offer glimpses of Ekster's output in a number of different fields, namely painting, and costume and stage design.
The author, art critic Yakov Alexandrovich Tugendhold (1882-1928), was also responsible for the earliest Russian-language monograph relating to Marc Chagall, in addition to a wide variety of other art-related books. Among other things, he served as an expert adviser and purchaser for art collector Sergei Shchukin's renowned collection of Impressionist works.
32 pp. + [4] plates; 39 plates, 21.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Tears to edges of cover and first leaves. Minor creases and tears to cover and spine.

Чей поэт Сергей Есенин? (Беглые заметки) [Whose Poet is Sergei Yesenin?], by Alexander Revyakin. Moscow: self-published, 1926. Russian.
An unflattering critical essay on the poet Sergei Yesenin and his work, by Alexander Ivanovich Revyakin (1900-1983), a Soviet literary critic and professor of literature. The essay was published roughly a month after Yesenin's death.

The cover – whose designer is unidentified – features a portrait of Yesenin, encircled by a large question mark.
39 pp., 22.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains, tears, and creases to edges of cover and to spine. Back cover and last leaf detached. Minor tear to first leaf. Signature in pen to page facing title page.

Alefbeys, by Leib Kvitko. Moscow: "Der Emes," 1947. Yiddish. Illustrations: Mikhail Yo (Ioffe).
Reader for learning the Yiddish alphabet conforming with the system established by the Soviet authorities, which does not allow for terminal letters, and determines that words originating in Hebrew must be spelled according to modern Yiddish phonetic rules. The reader was published by "Yevsektsiya," the Jewish section of the Soviet Communist Party.
The cover and the individual letters of the alphabet were rendered by the artist Meir Ioffeh (1895-1960), who went by the pen name "Mikhael Yo." Ioffeh – a graphic artist, painter, and theoretician – was one of the most notable figures in Riga's artistic and cultural circles. He worked both for the Jewish Theater in Riga and the Jewish State Theater in Moscow.
Accompanying each letter of the alphabet is a short poem in rhyme pertaining to that letter. The reader also features Yiddish poems and short stories (including a poem by Vladimir Lenin and lyrics to the anthem of the Soviet Union), as well as a table listing the letters of the Yiddish alphabet along with their corresponding characters in the Cyrillic alphabet.
47 [1] pp., 25.4-5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Creases, mostly to edges and cover. Minor tears to cover edges. Final leaf and cover slightly loose.

It also featured news items from Palestine and the world at large.
