It includes a wide range of American popular music styles, as well as some British and European popular music. The collection encompasses ballads, comic songs, minstrel scores, military scores, patriotic melodies, ragtime compositions, Broadway tunes, rhythm and blues hits, and 1960s surf music. The scores comprise various editions of lyrical and instrumental compositions, some of which have ornately lithographed covers and bear the signatures of composers, performers, and artists, as well as sellers' marks. It's important to note that this collection contains historical images and language that some library users may find harmful, offensive, or inappropriate. The Jay T. Last collection is an archive of printed paper artifacts that documents American lithographic, social, and business history. The collection began in the early 1970s when physicist and Silicon Valley pioneer, Jay T. Last moved to Southern California and started collecting citrus box labels he found at local flea markets and rummage sales. As his collection grew, Last realized that these labels conveyed important information about commercial printing, graphic design, and social history, and he expanded his collection to include other forms of American visual culture. Today this collection contains more than 250,000 prints, posters, and ephemera of nineteenth and twentieth century American origin and represents works by more than five hundred lithographic companies.

Great railroad stories of the world
Rare Books
This first inclusive collection of railroad stories recaptures the romance of the rails for the reader who may have forgotten it in this era of jet propulsion. It runs the entire gamut from the early masters of the story - Dickens, T.E. Lawrence, and Hauptmann - to the more modern writers in the field, such as A.W. Somerville and Frank L. Packard. Here we have stories, not only by such writers as William Saroyan, Thomas Wolfe, and Marquis James, but also by such recognized specialists as Jack McLarn, W.E. Hayes, Octavus Roy Cohen, Douglas Welch, and Lucius Beebe. Among these enthralling tales is that of the famous Confederate train stolen by Northern freebooters during the Civil War; tales of humor and tragedy on the railroad; exciting episodes involving dynamiting of trains and bridges; thrilling wreck scenes; and stories with a more romantic modern flavor--Adapted from jacket.
