Lifnei HaSha'ar HaAfel, by David Vogel. Vienna: "Makhar", 1923.
The only poetry book by Vogel (1891-1944) published during his lifetime.

After time elapsed, and the poet became famous during his lifetime or posthumously, it turned out that the first edition of his books is very scarce, for example, David Vogel 'Lifnei HaSha'ar HaAfel' (Vienna 1923)". (Mehlman, Genuzot Sefarim, p. 139).

21 booklets from the series "Sifriyat HaBalash" and "Sifriya Balashit" bound together. Booklets 1-12 from the series "Sifriyat HaBalash" / booklet 11-20 from the series "Sifriya Balashit". Tel Aviv, [1931-1932].
The journalist Shlomo Ben-Israel (1908-1989), who published the booklets and wrote most of them under different pen names, used the private detective David Tidhar as the hero of "Sifriyat HaBalash". On the title page of booklets from this series appears a photograph of Tidhar. Late in 1931, Tidhar grew weary of fame and asked Ben-Israel to stop using him as a character, and his name appears no longer in booklets from "Sifryia Balashit" series.
The first booklet from "Sifriyat HaBalash" opens with a "letter from Avigdor Hameiri (instead of an introduction)" in which Hameiri (who employed Ben Israel as a secretary) emphasizes the need for popular Hebrew literature written in the "language of the ear" and not the "Language of the eye", and the importance of detective stories in educating the public during a period when the Mandate police did nothing to protect the Jewish population in Palestine.
21 booklets, 16.5 cm. Good overall condition. Lacking cover and title page of booklet 11 from "Sifriya Balashit" series. Lacking cover of booklet 16 from "Sifryia Balashit" series. Stains. Creases. Damage to binding. Ownership inscription on front endpaper.

Volume containing 7 (non-consecutive) booklets, published by HaRoman HaZa'ir. Tel Aviv, 1939.
Booklets by Oliver G. Osborne, Vernon Forster, László Görög, Irving Bakster, Johann Freitag and Colonel Norman Delton.
HaRoman HaZa'ir publishing was founded in Hungary in the 1930s by the Jewish-Hungarian journalist Miklosh (Moshe) Fargo. This publishing house specialized in popular literature, first translated from German to Hungarian and later published original Hungarian literature. In 1939, Miklosh immigrated to Palestine with his two sons, Avraham and Yisrael and intended to continue publishing books in Hebrew. The first booklets were edited by the poet Avigdor HaMe'iri, however due to his high register of language, he left after a short while (these booklets present HaMe'iri as "the literary consultant"). The booklets were very popular during the British Mandate and in the nascent State of Israel under its new title HaKulmus.
[410] pages, 15.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains and many tears. Open tears, affecting text to some leaves. Some tears are reinforced with adhesive tape. Pinholes. Creases and tears to margins.
