Members ABAA and ILAB 1. Adams, Ansel: [Original Silver Gelatin Print, Signed]: FERN SPRING, DUSK ... [with:] IMAGES 1923 - 1974. Boston: New York Graphic Society, 1974 Original gelatin silver print photograph (31 x 23 cm), printed by Adams from the negative. Dry mounted on archival board (42 x 34 cm). Fine.

Print number 169 of 1000 numbered prints (500 numbered in Roman, 500 in Arabic), signed by Adams on the mount, and with certificate of limitation and technical details on verso. Published to accompany the deluxe, limited issue of Images 1923 - 1974, of which a copy is present, also numbered ‘169’ and signed on the colophon by Adams. The book is blem- ished, as at some point early on a previous owner excised the front free endsheet, quite likely to remove a presentation inscription, taking with it a significant area of the surface of the pastedown. It is otherwise very good and sound in dust jacket, with both enclosed in a somewhat faded and rubbed half calf oblong folio clamshell box, with the two short joints of the top lid at the fore-edge broken. In other words, a beautiful, virtually untouched copy of the signed print, with a flawed copy of the book tagging along. $3850.

2. [Adler, Jankel]: Themerson, Stefan: JANKEL ADLER AN ARTIST SEEN FROM ONE OF MANY POSSIBLE ANGLES. [London]: Gaberbocchus Press Ltd., [1948]. Quarto. Decorated wrapper over stiff wrapper. 12 full-page drawings by the subject. Browned at edges, with some spots to the wrapper fold-ins from now absent “protective” wrapper; just a good copy.

4. Aldington, Richard: IMAGES (1910-1915). London: The Poetry Bookshop, [1915]. Small quarto. Pictorial wrappers, with a handcolored design by John Nash. The wrappers are a bit dust darkened (but not foxed), small 1916 ownership signature inside front wrapper, but a very good copy.

First edition of the author’s first book. Reilly includes this title, though it predates Aldington’s active service and only one or two poems might be seen as alluding to the War. WOOLMER A12. REILLY (WWI), p.39. $200.

5. Aldington, Richard: A FOOL I’ THE FOREST A PHANTASMAGORIA. New York: Lincoln Mac Veagh / The Dial Press 1925. Gilt cloth. Usual offset on endsheets delimited by the jacket flaps, otherwise a very good copy, in rather tanned dust jacket with a narrow discoloration toward the lower edge of the front panel.

First edition, US issue, comprised of the British edition altered solely by insertion of a cancel title leaf. Like its UK sire, denoted a “limited edition” on the front jacket panel. It seems likely that this US issue was even more “limited” than the UK issue. KERSHAW 12n. REILLY (WWI), p.39. $60.

6. [Aldus Manutius]: De Vinne, Theodore: AL- DVS PIVS MANVTIVS WITH AN ESSAY BY ... TOGETHER WITH A LEAF FROM THE ALDINE HYPNEROTOMACHIA POLIPHILI ....

Each of the originally distributed copies included a leaf from the grand illustrated 1499 edition from the Aldine Press. The leaf in this copy is graced by a half-page woodcut. Upon publication copies were offered at a hierarchy of prices: $12.50 for a purely typographic leaf; $15.00 for a leaf with an ornamental border, and $15.00 and up for copies with pictorial woodcuts, as here, with the price increasing for copies with better woodcuts. The narrative, sometimes attributed to Francesco Colonna, and the anonymous illustrations, exerted a powerful influence on readers as diverse as Carl Jung and Aubrey Beardsley. In 1955, fifty sets of remaining sheets were bound up, but included only a facsimile leaf. GRABHORN 67. Sold

22. Barrie, J. M. [sourcework]: [Original Color Litho- graphed Theatrical Poster for:] THE LITTLE MINIS- TER. Cincinnati & New York: Strobridge Litho. Co., 1897. Folio (34 x 26”; 86 x 65 cm). Multi-color original pictorial stone lithograph. Rolled, but not folded. Paper reinforcement along margins on verso closing a few creases and tears in the margins, “Culver Pictures Inc” stamps and fragmentary label on verso, otherwise a bright, fresh, striking example.

A beautiful original lithographed theatrical poster for the American production of the 1897 dramatic adaptation by Barrie of his 1891 novel. According to Cutler, the play was produced for copyright purposes in London in July 1897. Its first public run was then at the Empire Theatre, New York, opening on 27 September 1897, with the first London public production opening on 6 November. Maude Adams famously played the role of Lady Babbie, and the Charles Frohman production ran a total of 300 performances. There are at least three forms of the poster for this American production, of which two (including this version) differ only in the text. This version may have been prepared for a roadshow engagement, as “The Success of the Century” has replaced Maude Adams’s name and Frohman’s name is no longer present, but the imagery has remained the same. It should be noted that Adams toured with the production in some of its earliest road engagements, at least well into the autumn of 1898. CUTLER, p.71. $500.

23. Barrie, J. M. [sourcework], and Allan Scott, et al [screenwriters]: [Original Studio Press- book for:] QUALITY STREET. [New York]: RKO Radio Pictures, [1937]. 19,[1]pp. Folio (46 x 30.8 cm). Highly pictorial self wrappers. Heavily illustrated.

A substantial publicity pressbook for George Stevens’s 1937 film adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s play, based on a screenplay by Allan Scott, Mortimer Offner and Jack Townley.

Beerbohm writes Emery Walker in regard to a forthcoming talk: “My dear Mr. Emery Walker ‘Ideals of Indian Art’ mayn’t be such a very attractive subject, but repulsive indeed would have to be the subject that would vault [?] me of[f] the long-looked-forward-to pleasure of presenting myself in Clifford’s Inn ....” Signed in full. $200.

28. Bell, Marvin: THE CASE FOR THE ARTS & HUMANITIES [caption title]. [Iowa City]: UI Center for the Book, 2004. Oblong quarto broadside (29.75 x 45 cm.). Calligraphy by Cheryl Jacobsen. A bit of light creasing and rumpling at horizontal edges, very good.

34. Blunt, Wilfred S.: ESTHER: A YOUNG MAN’S TRAGEDY: TOGETHER WITH THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS. [Boston: Copeland and Day], 1895. Small quarto.

First printing in this format. One of 500 copies printed on Dutch handmade paper, from an edition of 550 published as the second volume in the publisher’s “English Love Sonnet Se- ries.” The title-page, borders and 142 initials were crafted by Bertram G. Goodhue. Kraus calls for the spine imprint to be dated ‘1895’; this copy is dated ‘1896’ at the base of the spine. As publication occurred on 21 December 1895, postdating would seem logical, but the variation from the bibliographic description is puzzling. KRAUS 38. $400.

35. Bolitho, William [i.e. William Bolitho Ryall]: [Remarkable Typed Letter, Signed, with Manuscript Corrections and Revisions]. La Préfète, Montfavet, Vaucluse, France. 1 Feb- ruary 1926. Four closely typed pages, on four quarto sheets of airmail stationary. Folded, several old paper clip rust marks, some marginal breaks at folds, but good to very good.

A superb letter from Bolitho (1891-1930), South African journalist and biographer, intimate friend of Hemingway, Noël Coward, Walter Lippman and others, to editor and literary agent Coburn Gilman (1893 - 1967). Extending to ca. 1000 words, with frequent manuscript corrections and insertions, Bolitho responds to questions posed by Gilman (“...how you torture me. Your questionnaire has haunted me more nights than a most unbusinesslike habit and pathological loathing of answering letters will excuse ...”) with what amounts to an autobiography and self-appraisal, including his upbringing in South Africa and education, his service in the Great War (“...they made me a bomber, because I had taken Metaphysics and the Classics at University and therefore know nothing totally whatever of Chemistry. I was in three battles ... you did not need to know drill or do anything, just get killed, so ended by being buried at the Somme ...”), and his recuperation and service for the British War Council. He gives an account of his work as a journalist (specifically for the New York World), his life in France, and his writing: “Now you know pretty well Mr. Gilman, that all that is why my stuff reads so queer and new and aloof. What Walter Lippman said about me is true. I write like the Man from Mars, I like to polish it a bit and say that I am the discoverer of Europe ... Why should anyone buy my books? I don’t know except that they are new and must be strange ...Why should Christopher Morley take one of my essays (Saxophone from Leviathan) and put it into his Modern Essays? Why should Harpers of all people become my publishers and every post bring me fan-letters and other publishers[‘] affable pressing invitations to write a novel? All this I know I shall understand better when a skilled man, outside me, as I am perforce outside the rest of the world sends me the significant inch of ad [i.e. advertisement] that he will boil it all down to. But don’t lose this letter: I swear to never write what is in it again, as I never have before.” Signed “William Bolitho,” with a manuscript postscript offering to send a photo if Gilman does not yet have one. In 1926, Harper & Bros. published the US edition of Murder for Profit, and it is likely that this autobiographical epic is associated with that forthcoming publication. Bolitho died at the age of 40, from peritonitis brought on by appendicitis. Gilman is best remembered for his close friendship with Dawn Powell. $250.

Mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only of salmon and white stock. Bradbound in plain wrappers. A few scattered manuscript corrections/revisions, otherwise very good.

An unspecified revised draft of this original screenplay, the basis for the 1972 release. Laid in is a single sheet dated 2 April updating revisions subsequent to the pink revises in this copy (including deletion of over ten scenes). Michael Anderson directed an impressive cast that included Liv Ullman as the lead, Jeremy Kemp, Olivia de Havilland, Trevor Howard and Maximilian Schell. “After a muted critical response, the film was severely re-edited. In its original incarnation, the film contained many flashbacks and flash-forwards, quite a progressive style for 1972. These were all removed to create a more linear story and the film was then released as The Devil’s Imposter. These changes were reinstated for a 2009 reissue” - IMDB. In spite of this less than successful production, Briley went on to greater undertak- ings, including winning an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his script for Gandhi (1982) and writing the screenplay adaptation for Cry Freedom, among other films. $125. 51.

52. Brodovitch, Alexey [art director]: PORTFOLIO A MAGAZINE FOR THE GRAPHIC ARTS [with:] PORTFOLIO THE ANNUAL OF GRAPHIC ARTS [Whole numbers 1 & 3]. Cincinnati & New York: Zebra Press & Duell, Sloane & Pearce, Winter 1950 and 1951. Two numbers (of three published). Small folio (33 x 25.5 cm). Typographically decorated wrappers. Heavily illustrated with photographs, tipped-in extras, drawings, etc. Light edgewear and a couple of nicks to wrapper of first issue, some tanning at edges and significant loss to the spine covering of the second number (as often), light dusting to endsheets, but a very good copy of the 1st number, and apart from the almost inevitable chipping to the spine, a very good copy of the third and last number.

Edited by George S. Rosenthal and Frank Zachary, with Brodovitch in charge of art direction and design. Portfolio represented a substantial achievement for its time, showcasing the graphic and fine arts, both historical and contemporary, with contributions by, or articles about, many of the current and past innovators (Rand, Shahn, Bodoni, Kauffer, Penn, Avedon, Steinberg, Calder, Cartier-Bresson, et al). Eschewing advertisements in favor of content, Portfolio’s high production costs, without the benefit of advertising income, resulted in its early demise. The 3d glasses that accompanied the article on stereoscopy in the 3rd number are still present. “Besides his achievements at [Harper’s] Bazaar, Brodovitch’s legacy as a publications designer includes the short-lived but influential magazine Portfolio, three issues of which were published in 1949 and 1950. A flashy, innovative quarterly aimed at the design profession, Portfolio contained profusely illustrated feature on Alexander Calder, Charles Eames, Paul Rand, Saul Steinberg and others, as well as articles surveying the graphic variations of cattle brands and shopping bags. As art editor, Brodovitch helped conceive the magazine’s contents, as well as creating its distinct design with the help of die-cuts, transparent pages, multi-page fold outs and other elaborate (and expensive) graphic devices” -- A. Grundberg, AIGA web biography. $850.

The title card from the series of lobby cards issued to promote U.S. distribution of the film adaptation of Defoe’s novel, co-written by master director Buñuel and Hugo Butler, then working in self-imposed exile in Mexico in company with his wife and Dalton Trumbo, and writing under various pseudonyms as a consequence of the effects of the Blacklist. The faithful yet stylistically imaginative adaptation starred Daniel O’Herlihy as Crusoe and Jaime Fernández as Friday. It was Buñuel’s first color film, and is one of the central productions of his Mexican period. O’Herlihy was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his role after United Artists took on theatrical distribution for the film in the U.S. $125.

Egerer, based on scrutiny of advertisements and the like, suggests this edition appeared in November. The substantial list of subscribers (pp. xi-xlviii) is testament to the measure of enthusiasm with which this edition was anticipated. While not a scarce book in ordinary condition, it is uncommon in this condition. EGERER 5. ESTC T91546. NCBEL II:1991. $1250.

His interest in Hindu spiritual life and in other non-European cultures was combined with an enthusiasm for local popular culture and crafts. Clemente began collaborating with Indian sign painters, miniaturists, and papermakers, as in Francesco Clemente Pinxit, a 1980–81 series of miniatures in gouache on handmade paper, for which young miniaturists from Jaipur and Orissa painted the decorative elements” - Guggenheim Online. $550.

89. [Creole Poetry]: Saint-Céran, Tullius: LES LOUISIANAISES POÉSIES NOUVELLES ... PREMIER VOLUME. Nouvelle-Orleans: Imprimé par J. L. Sollée, 1840. 90,[2]pp. Contempo- rary cloth backed marbled boards. Scattered foxing and tanning, boards edgeworn, with cracking to inner hinges, rear free endsheet excised, but still, a good or better copy.

First edition of St.-Céran’s last volume of poetry published in his lifetime (1800-1855) -- no further volume appeared. St.-Céran was born in Jamaica to French parents who then moved to New Orleans in 1805 due to the civil unrest. He trained in the printer’s trade, and after a brief but unsuc- cessful attempt at a career in Cuba, he returned to New Orleans. In 1825 he established a private school and was appointed editor of the French sections of the Gazette de la Louisiane. He wrote fluently in French, Spanish and English, and taught languages and undertook translations as a sources of income. He published four volumes of verse, as well as part of an autobiographical novel. Jumonville cites two variants of this book, the second of which includes only 80pp. but otherwise appears to be functionally identical. OCLC locates two copies of that variant, with the source copy for the entry being imperfect, with only a typed title-page. Given that page 80 in this copy marks the conclusion of the penultimate signature, it is just possible that the 80pp. variant simply lacks the concluding signature. Laid into this copy is an undated (but ca. 1930s) a.l.s., 1½ pp., from Louisiana literary expert Edward L. Tinker, to a former owner, about St.-Céran and the book. A similar typed letter, from R. Usher, the Librarian of the Howard Memorial Library in New Orleans, 28 January 1931, one page, is also laid in, covering some of the same territory. JUMONVILLE 1175. AMERICAN IMPRINTS 5929.

A variant printing of this early novella by the prolific, but short-lived, author Joel Munsell (as quoted by Sabin) described as “of limited education, a whisky drinking, tobacco chewing, profane swearing, and squalid specimen of humanity.” This edition was printed by Kneeland and Co., who were situated local to the author. Wright reports another printing under Wil- lard’s imprint, with a variant street address, paginated at 95[1]pp and with no literal date on the title, as well as a 48pp. edition by Burgess and Stringer, who reprinted a number of his works, but with the dated 1843 imprint. This printing may conform to the entry 794 deleted from the second edition of Wright. This edition does not appear in OCLC. SABIN 18061n. WRIGHT I:793-5. $60. Very Special Copy

A couple of shallow discolorations along fore-edge of upper wrapper, upper edge of rear wrapper utilized long ago by insects as a “resting place,” a few other small spots to margins of upper wrapper, otherwise a good copy, internally very good.

First edition. The transcript of a debate between two close friends holding diametrically opposed views on certain matters, chaired by Arthur M. Lewis. Darrow and Foster debated a number of times, in this case at the Cort Theatre in Chicago on 7 April 1918, and several of the debates were transcribed and published in similar format. Surprisingly, OCLC/Worldcat locates just four copies: Kent State, Northwestern, North Central College and Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. OCLC: 2786314. $350.

98. De la Mare, Walter: SONGS OF CHILDHOOD ... NEW EDITION. London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1923. Vellum and boards. Plates. Vellum naturally darkened, trace of foxing at fore-edge, slight darkening at edges, but a very good copy (however, see below).

First illustrated edition of the author’s first and most popular book, illustrated by Estella Can- ziani. One of 310 numbered copies, specially printed on handmade paper, and signed by the author. This copy has been extra-illustrated by a previous owner via the insertion of eleven or so disparate 19th century works of varying sizes, including seven original watercolors, an etching, a couple of color lithographs, a mezzotint, etc. The watercolors are somewhat accomplished, though likely amateur works, but unsigned and clearly by differing hands, and include florals, a landscape, and portraits of a child and of an adolescent woman. The etching is of a group of children, and the others are florals or portraits. A curious 20th century manifestation of a compulsion from earlier times. $125.

99. Dellinger, Dave; Paul Goodman, et al: COMPLETE TESTIMONY OF THE AD HOC COMMITTEE’S CONTROVERSIAL MANIFESTO TRIPLE REVOLUTION TOGETHER WITH COMMENTARY BY DAVE DELLINGER AND GROWING UP ABSORBED, PAUL GOODMAN [caption title].

Original printed self-wrappers, untrimmed. Modest tanning and some sliver chips at a few overlap edges, otherwise unusually nice, near fine and unopened. Uncommon thus.

The complete first volume, in original state, of the second acknowledged attempt to build on the reputation of Fuller and Emerson’s Dial of 1840-1844, edited and, in part, written by Francis F. Browne, who continued at the editorial helm until his death in 1913. As conserva- tive in tone as its predecessors and successors were progressive, this iteration of The Dial continued under the editorial control of his son, Waldo, until, in 1916, it was reorganized and transformed under the editorship of Martin Johnson and moved to New York. MOTT III:539-41. $75.

102. Dibdin, Thomas Frognall: BIBLIOMANIA; OR BOOK MADNESS; A BIBLIOGRAPHI- CAL ROMANCE ... NEW AND IMPROVED EDITION .... London: Henry G. Bohn, 1842.

Frontispieces and engraved plates. Pages 1-18 and 375-8 printed on inferior paper and uniformly darkened (with small chip to one blank foretip), trace of light foxing early and late, otherwise a very good copy, in a handsome binding. Bookplate on front pastedown.

First combined edition. The text of the 1809 first edition is bound at the end with its own separate title and register. The prefatory note to the 1811 edition follows the “Advertisement” for this edition. According to Windle & Pippin, the edition consisted of 500 copies, of which 50 or 55 were printed on large paper, and there is some variation of the order of placement of the elements between some copies. This is the ordinary issue, and was issued without the two plates specially executed for the large paper copies. Tipped in the front of this copy is a brief a.l.s. from Dibdin, 31 August 1842, to a prominent London bookseller, “Mr. [Joseph] Lilly Bookseller, 19 King Street, Covent Garden.” He writes: “Dear Sir / I wait in Town almost entirely for your ‘gentle response.’ ‘What news from Rialto?’ T.F. Dibdin.” Tipped to the bottom blank margin of the letter are two early relevant news clippings. Joseph Lilly was among the chief booksellers who had a hand in the formation of Huth’s library. This was an oft-reprinted sentimental classic for several generations of book collectors, even if it does occasionally cast barbs at some of the more obsessive traits of some members of its constituency.

[17] leaves of text, plus 7 stills (5 with long squibs attached). Quarto. Pictorial folder. Modest rubbing and edgewear to folder, contents very good or better.

A very uncommon presskit produced to promote the general theatrical release of the Hugo- winning film adaptation of Harlan Ellison’s 1969 novella, first published in New Worlds. Jones both directed and wrote the screenplay, the latter reportedly with uncredited contributions by Wayne Crusturner. Don Johnson played opposite Patsy (the dog), in company with Susanne Benton, Jason Robards, et al. The film had a strong run of festival screenings in 1975, with a formal commercial theatrical following in early 1976. Five of the seven 8x10” stills have single or multi-page squibs attached, among them a press photo of Ellison by Dan Tooker. $150.

Some spotting and soiling, a couple fore- margins shaved close, snagged tear in lower gutter margin of plate (not affecting image), a few pencil notes; a good copy.

First edition. A rare and characteristic early Gleason double-column dreadful, the only separately published fiction ascribed to Engolls by Wright. Wright and OCLC locate only the same four copies of this title -- Yale, AAS, Brown and UVa -- and OCLC records no other works of any sort attributed to Engolls. It is, of course, possible that “Engolls” is one of the pseudonyms utilized by a regular of Gleason’s stable of writers. WRIGHT I:920. OCLC: 6772709. $225.

127. Fouts, Herbert E. [illus], and Isidora Newman [text]: SHADES OF BLUE. New York: Henry Harrison, [1927]. Large octavo. Silver-gilt blue cloth. Six tipped-in plates. Endsheets a trifle tanned, otherwise near fine, in very good, lightly chipped foil-finish pictorial dust jacket with a few closed edge tears.

First edition A collection of relatively ordinary amateur verse by the New Orleans native, coupled with a surprising suite of six tipped-in art-deco plates by Fouts, printed in blue on silver metallic finish paper. Harrison’s imprint is usually treated with disdain, due to the considerable load of mediocrity that it preserved between covers, often at the expense of the authors. As a consequence of the artwork alone and the extra cost it must have entailed, this work sticks its head slightly above the Harrison low waterline. Newman comes in for respect- ful mention in the online Encyclopedia associated with the Jewish Women’s Archive, and Fouts appears to have found markets for his work in several arenas, including the sub-rosa world of under-the-counter publications of the 1920s-30s. Uncommon in dust jacket (only). $125.

129. Garland, Hamlin: MAIN-TRAVELLED ROADS SIX MISSISSIPPI VALLEY STORIES. Boston: Arena Publishing Company, 1891. Gray cloth, spine stamped in silver. Minor rubbing at tips, usual slight tanning to text block, a few hand smudges to cloth; a very good copy.

First edition, clothbound issue, preferred state of the sheets measuring approx. 5/8”. The author’s second book, preceded by a pamphlet play published the previous year. Ostensibly the majority of the edition was bound in wrappers, though such copies seem in the minority a century plus later - the early notion that only “a few copies” were bound in cloth “for the author’s use” has been pretty well demonstrated to be in error. “In these tales of the middle border, the fertile prairie was no longer glamorous, life on the farm was a drab treadmill existence, and the mortgage-lender became the symbol of capitalist exploitation. Romance and humor were swept away, and the artist brooded bitterly over social injustice. These were the seeds of the modern proletarian novels” - Grolier Hundred. GROLIER AMERICAN HUNDRED 95. MERLE JOHNSON HIGHSPOT, p.35. WRIGHT III:2115. $250.

130. Garland, Hamlin: JASON EDWARDS AN AVERAGE MAN. Boston: Arena Publishing Company, 1892. Blue cloth, lettered in silver. Just a trifle dusty at edges, but a very good, or better, bright copy, without dust jacket.

First edition, clothbound issue, of Garland’s fourth book, a novelized version of Under The Wheel, his 1890 play. An important and modestly elusive agrarian novel, dedicated to the Farmers’ Alliance. WRIGHT III:2113. $300.

131. Garland, Hamlin: PRAIRIE FOLKS. Chicago: F. J. Schulte and Company, 1893. Octavo. Printed yellow wrappers of “The Ariel Library.” Lower wrapper has a transparent water stain, wrappers a bit dust and hand-soiled, spine somewhat chipped at extremities; still, internally a very good copy.

First edition of Garland’s seventh book, a somewhat elusive book due to its fragile format. Signed by Garland with a flourish at the end of the dedicatory poem, and with his thirteen- line, signed inscription, dated “Los Angeles, Nov 20 - ‘89 [sic],” on the half-title (with some revisions and changes), elaborating on the publication history of the stories and the book. The inscription refers to the 1899 revised edition and Wayside Courtships (1897), so the intended date of the inscription may have been 1899 (or perhaps even later). $250. 132. Garland, Hamlin: WAYSIDE COURTSHIPS. New York: D. Appleton and Co., 1897. Tan cloth, elaborately decorated in gilt. Tiny number stamped in corner of front pastedown, minor rubbing at tips, else near fine and bright.

First edition. Inscribed in 1937 by Garland to his friend and occasional publisher, George Seymour, principal of the Chicago Bookfellows: “Parts of this volume were taken to make up ‘Other Main Travelled Roads’ and it then passed out of print ....” Signed again by Garland beneath the dedicatory poem and noted as “Written in Boston 1888-89.” WRIGHT III:2123. $200.

133. Garland, Hamlin: THE CAPTAIN OF THE GRAY-HORSE TROOP. New York & London: Harper & Bros., 1902. Navy blue cloth, lettered in white. Portrait. Typical rubbing to spine stamping, though perfectly legible, slight cracking to gutter after front free endsheet and before frontis, otherwise a very good copy.

Laid- in is an [8]pp. small leaflet, The Meaning Of Bookfellowship, listing the Advisory Board members, printing details and a mission statement, along with a fifteen line statement by Garland about the Seymours, their group, and their library project.

137. Garland, Hamlin, and Edwin Willard Deming [illus]: BOY LIFE ON THE PRAIRIE. New York & London: Macmillan Company, 1899. Gilt decorated mustard brown cloth, t.e.g., others rough-trimmed. Frontis, plates and illustrations. Cloth a trace darkened, with a few small spots, but a very good copy.

A fictionalized, but authentic, account of the life of young adult males in Iowa in the decade following the Civil War, based on Garland’s own experiences. Rather less common than Garland’s other titles of comparable vintage. $225.

Plates and text sporadically foxed, spine ends rubbed, title tanned (see below), 1862 gift inscription, else very good.

The title-leaf is a cancel, with the imprint undated and copyright taken in 1856. Thompson locates an 1842 annual under this title published by Appleton, with different content; while this is clearly a cancel title marking the reissue of another Appleton annual, OCLC reports no others beside that of 1842, and one dated 1856, the year in which this was copyrighted. THOMPSON, p.140 (ref). $75.

First edition of the poet, painter and architect’s first book, a novel featuring unconventional typography and design by Samuel N. Antupit.

Gins, with her husband and partner, the artist Arakawa, were the founders and chief theoreticians of the Reversible Destiny Foundation, the principles of which served as the underpinnings of their projects and buildings. Uncommon in the trade. $225.

145. Ginsberg, Allen, and Francesco Clemente [illustrator]: WHITE SHROUD 1983. [Madras, India: Kalakshetra Publications Press, 1984]. Folio (39.7 x 30.8 cm). Gilt cloth over boards. Color plates and facsimiles. Trace of darkening to endsheets from binder’s glue, otherwise fine in plastic jacket.

162. Hecht, Ben, and Maxwell Bodenheim [editors & contributors]: BEN HECHT’S CHICAGO LITERARY TIMES MODERN SARDONIC JOURNAL. Chicago 1 March 1924 through 1 June 1924. Volume Two, Numbers 1 through 7 (II:2 is incorrectly denoted II:3, and is followed by the proper II:3) Six issues. Illustrations. First four folio tabloid, numbers 6 & 7 large quarto tabloid. Printed self wrappers. Folio issues with horizontal fold, as issued. II:1 has split cleanly and completely along the spine fold and the first two leaves are substantially split along the horizontal fold, otherwise the remaining numbers in the lot are in very good to near fine condition, and are highly unusual thus.

Edited by Ben Hecht and associate editor Maxwell Bodenheim, with both editors being the primary contributors of the text. Published semi-monthly beginning 1 March 1923, and concluding with the last number present here, Chicago Literary Times (as the issues in the first volume were titled) was in many ways Hecht’s response to his dismissal by the Chicago Daily News and the rise of Chicago’s prudishness in the face of the advance of modern letters. Hoffman, et al, are worth quoting at length: “...famous for its broad ironies and its parodies of the literary life of Chicago and New York. It is primarily a literary ‘stunt,’ immensely amusing, and has to be accepted as such. It is arranged in newspaper format, its shrieking headlines announcing ‘events’ improbable and ludicrous. Ben Hecht’s 1001 Afternoons in Chicago appears in each issue, as does Bodenheim’s ‘authorized’ but incredible autobiography. Ring Lardner and Samuel Putnam also contribute. The magazine is a thoroughly enjoyable bit of ‘history’ of Chicago’s Bohemianism and how it grew.” HOFFMAN, et al, p.268. $600.

163. Heinlein, Robert [sourcework & screenwriter], and Alford (“Rip”) Van Ronkel, and James O’Hanlon [screenwriters]: [Original Deluxe Studio Publicity Pressbook for:] DESTINATION MOON. [Np]: George Pal Productions / Eagle - Lion Films, 1950. 28,[2]pp. plus gatefold panels. Folio (51 x 34.5 cm). Heavy textured paper wrapper with color pictorial vignette. Heavily illustrated throughout, printed in red black and grey. Horizontal fold, some fraying at extended overlap wrapper edges, short splits around spine staples, ink date and smudge in upper fore-corner of upper wrapper; still, a good, internally very good example of this unwieldy but magnificent presentation.

The deluxe original studio publicity campaign pressbook for the first ambitious science fiction film of the 1950s, produced by George Pal and directed by Irving Pichel. The screenplay was based on Heinlein’s novella (which was written for the screen), and Heinlein had a hand in the script. John Archer, Warner Anderson, Tom Powers, et al, starred, but actors played second fiddle to the Academy Award-winning special effects, which were overseen by Lee Zavitz, and rooted in Chesley Bonestell’s visualizations. The film was an earnest attempt to present a popularized visual impression of the difficulties and strategies that would be entailed in achieving the first moon-landing, and as such exerted considerable influence on a generation or two of fans and future astrophysicists with no taste for B.E.M.s in their science fiction. $375.

164. [Hemingway, Ernest, et al]: THE THIRD NEW YEAR AN ETUDE IN THE KEY OF FRANKNESS. Chicago & New York: Esquire, Inc., 1935. Small octavo.

A set of the color stills distributed to promote this self-proclaimed “First Electric Western,” very, very loosely derived from Hesse’s Siddartha. The cast included Doug Kerhsaw, Country Joe and the Fish, the James Gang, Don Johnson, and John Rubenstein, under the direction of George Englund. While critically controversial, the 1971 release remains for some members of a generation a compelling guilty pleasure. $45.

166. [Hipster Exploitation Film]: O’Connell, Jack [screenwriter, director & producer]: [Original Studio One-Sheet for:] GREENWICH VILLAGE STORY (BIRTHPLACE OF THE HOOTENANNY). [New York]: Shaw International, 1963. Original two-color one-sheet (41 x 27”). Folded, as issued, a bit of a crease to one margin, otherwise fine.

A garish one-sheet issued to promote this exploitation film, “a tale of young love and desire ... roaming the bars, the caverns, the pads and lofts and the clangorous confines of the extroverts, introverts and perverts” (a quote attributed, perhaps dubiously, to the NY Times). The film starred Robert Hogan, Melinda (Cordell) Plank, et al, and earned O’Connell a nomination at the Venice Film Festival for “Best First Work.” He endeavored to enhance that celebrity with Swedish Fly Girls (1971) and The Hippie Revolution (1996), among other durable cinematic masterpieces. Prior to this project, he had worked as Director’s Assistant on Antonioni’s L’Aventura (1960). $100.

167. Hitchcock, Alfred [director]: [Seven German Stills for]: FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT. [West Germany. ca. 1961]. Seven 9 x 11.5” (22.5 x 29 cm) glossy black & white borderless stills. Tack holes in corners from display use, German dealer’s stamp on verso of each, oxidation to a couple of versos at margins; a good lot.

Seven representative stills issued to promote the delayed, post-war 1961 German release of Hitchcock’s 1940 WWII espionage thriller, based on a screenplay by Charles Bennett, Joan Harrison, James Hilton, Robert Benchley and Ben Hecht, starring Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall, et al. $75.

168. [Hitchhiking]: Anonymous: GETTING USED TO IT OR THE WANDERER’S HOME COM- PANION BEING: A GENTLE GUIDE TO BUMMING IN THE U.S.A. [wrapper title]. Berkeley. 1966. 24pp. Quarto. Mechanically duplicated typescript, with hand-lettered stenciled upper wrapper. Some tanning to wrapper, a bit of curling, otherwise very good.

An anonymous compilation of useful information and observations about life on the road, the title derived from Dylan, and dedicated by the author “to Mary, with love ... And to Richard Farina - who’s gone out the back door, but left us flowers.” The author’s list of recommended reading to be packed along includes titles by Guthrie, Kerouac, Miller, Heller, Tolkien, Watts, Thoreau, Kesey, Steinbeck, Beagle and others, but overlooks a goodly number of classics of road and hobo life. No copies turn up in OCLC. $45.

169. Hobson, Anthony: RENAISSANCE BOOK COLLECTING JEAN GROLIER AND DI- EGO HURTADO DE MENDOZA THEIR BOOKS AND BINDINGS. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, [1999]. 175pp. Quarto. Gilt cloth. Frontis, plates and illustrations. First edition, clothbound issue. Fine in dust jacket. $150.

171. Hodgson, Ralph: A FLYING SCROLL [Numbers 2 through 11]. Philadelphia: Printed by Namleda & Co., ...for the Author... Minerva, Ohio, 1945-51. Ten narrow folio broadsides (18 1/2 x 6 1/8” to 16 3/4 x 4 1/2”). One number has a thumb-tip size patch of browning in the upper right blank corner, otherwise a very nice set (#s 3-11 encapsulated in Mylar and stiff card).

A nearly complete run of this serial broadside series, each number present in the uncommon issue on rag paper. The missing first number is very scarce. The series includes the first appearances of a number of Hodgson’s poems which he later collected in book form in The Skylark and Other Poems (1958) and Collected Poems (1961). They were printed for Hodgson by Philadelphia bibliophile Seymour Adelman. The editions usually consisted of between 31 and 36 copies on rag paper and between 100 and 140 on regular paper (though Sweetser is indefinite in the case of a few of the numbers as to the exact count). SWEETSER A12-29. $365.

Although the binding is unsigned, a previous, knowledgeable owner has identified it in pencil as being by Harcourt. DOBSON XX. MURRAY IX. $1250.

173. Hogg, James: THE BROWNIE OF BODSBECK. Philadelphia: Printed by T. W. Ustick, 1833. Two volumes bound in one. 78;78pp, 12mo. Original muslin-backed drab boards, printed spine label.

First separate edition, after being first published in the company of another work as a component of a ‘twilight’ book, comprised of the sheets from the March 1843 issue of the Boston Notion (see BAL 9953).

These two novellas are somewhat less burdened with the overt religiosity that was to come to char- acterize Ingraham’s fiction after his ordination in the Episcopalian church. The first work is, in part, set in New Orleans during the Yellow Fever epidemic and singles out for praise the acts of benevolence by members of the Order. BAL10022. WRIGHT I:1333. $125.

First edition in book form, BAL’s issue 1 of the text, with earliest form of the ‘Glengariff’ [sic] plate, but without the portrait of Willis omitted from issue 2 of the first volume. In place of the portrait, the binder placed the plate of Innisfallen from volume two. There was also a serial printing in 30 parts, which is scarce. BAL 2276. $650.

London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1953 - 1972. Five volumes. Publisher’s gilt lettered russet-brown cloth. Very good to near fine in occasionally lightly used dust jackets (two with publisher’s price labels affixed over the prices on the flaps).

First UK editions, all but the fourth being first printings, and the fourth being the second impression. An excellent association set, each volume bearing Edel’s often quite lengthy and affectionate inscription to noted James collector/scholar and frequent Edel collaborator on matters Jamesian, Adeline Tintner Janowitz, and her husband, Henry. The inscriptions in all but the third volume date from 1983, and the third, which also bears a presentation inscription contemporary with publication to “a valued colleague during my NYU years,” is inscribed solely to Adeline in 1984. He comments occasionally about the particular edition, noting that this UK edition of The Middle Years “... contains some new material not in the U.S. edition....” About the second impression of The Treacherous Years, he writes: “This is not a first edition; and it is a variant binding. (The first was bound in blue - totally out of keeping with the brown-russet bindings of the other volumes.) I regard this volume as a key volume in the series ....” A standout set of this work, up to its time the definitive biographical treatment of its subject, and the work leading to Edel’s receipt of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. EDEL & LAURENCE C184-7. $750. The Very Scarce Separate Printing of The International Protest

183. [Joyce, James]: [INTERNATIONAL PROTEST] IT IS A MATTER OF COMMON KNOWL- EDGE THAT THE ULYSSES OF MR. JAMES JOYCE IS ... [first line]. Paris. 2nd February 1927. Folio broadside (35 x 21.2 cm), printed on recto only. Old horizontal fold, trace of dust darkening along a portion of the extreme right margin, lower right corner creased; otherwise, a very good to near fine copy of this fragile item.

The separate broadside printing of the English text of the protest by over 160 writers and other dignitaries mounted against Samuel Roth and his unauthorized piracy of segments of Ulysses for publication in Two Worlds Monthly. Joyce had engaged Benjamin Con- nor, through the firm of Chadbourne, Stanch- field and Levy, to pursue legal action against Roth, but in the face of the inevitable slow forward movement of such action, he asked Archibald MacLeish and Ludwig Lewisohn to draft the text of this protest. The text was circulated and the signers, including Einstein, Eliot, Hemingway, Mann, Loy, Yeats, Woolf, Lawrence, Lewis, Stephens, Wells, Wilder and many others, got on board. The protest was dated and issued to the press coincident with Joyce’s birthday, in both English and French printings, and the whole was reprinted in the April 1927 issue of transition. Of course, the protest had no effect on Roth’s continued publication of bowdlerized excerpts from Ulysses - in September of 1926 he had run out of available text from WIP to print - and Ulysses continued to be excerpted through the issues of September and October of 1927 (the latter issued only as part of the publisher’s bound 3 volume format). ELLMANN (1965 printing), pp.598-9. SLOCUM & CAHOON C68 (note). $8500.

184. [Joyce, James]: INJUNCTION ... [wrapper title]. [Paris]: Reprinted from transition no. 16-17, June 1929. [4]pp. Small quarto leaflet (228 x 165 mm). Old horizontal fold for mailing, lower fore-corner faintly creased, but near fine.

Here printed, in one of the most fragile and uncommon of all the offprints / supplements related to transition, is Judge Richard H. Mitchell’s unequivocal December 1928 ruling against Samuel Roth’s unauthorized publication of segments from Ulysses (and by implication WIP). Roth and his company were enjoined not only from further publication of any work by Joyce, but also from any use of his name for any purpose, promotional or other. There is an odd typo in the transcription of the injunction, dating it the “37th” day of December 1928. $650.

185. [Joyce, James]: Field, Saul [illus], and Morton P. Levitt: BLOOMSDAY. Greenwich: New York Graphic Society, [1972]. Folio (40 x 28.5 cm). Cloth. Plates. Fine in very slightly tanned dust jacket with crease in front flap. Pictorial slipcase (a bit of dust-spotting along the lower edge of the upper panel).

First edition, limited issue. Copy #5 of 225 numbered copies, from a total edition of 250 (plus 25 a.p.s.), signed by the author and artist. Laid in, as issued, is an original engraving (“Metampsychosis”) printed on Barcham Green paper, numbered (‘5/250’) and signed by Field in pencil in the lower margin. Denoted “An Interpretation of James Joyce’s Ulysses.” $175.

186. [Joyce, James]: Coughlin, Jack: [Original Pencil and Watercolor Portrait of James Joyce]. [Montague, MA?]. 1999. Original pencil and watercolor portrait (14 x 16.5 cm plus large margins). A couple of minor smudges in the extremes of the large margins, otherwise fine. Laid into a custom-cut mat.

A shoulders-up portrait of Joyce as an adult, in 3/4 profile, titled, signed and dated by the artist in the margin. “Jack Coughlin is well known for his strong portraits of literary figures and musicians. His prints, drawings and watercolors have been exhibited widely across the United States and Europe. They are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Collection of Fine Arts in Washington D.C., the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences in Virginia, the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts, the University of Colorado, the Philadelphia Free Public Library, Staedelsches Kunstinstitut, Frankfort, Germany, the New University of Ulster, Coleraine, Northern Ireland and in several other important museum, university and library collections worldwide. A member of the National Academy of Design, he has received numerous awards and prizes and his portraits are regularly commissioned for the New Republic. His portraits have also been published in several volumes of poetry in Ireland and the United States” - from the artist’s website. $500.

187. Karsh, Yousuf: [Two Original Gelatin Silver Prints of Photographs of Zulu Children in a Missionary Hospital]. [Np: The Photographer, ca. 1963]. Two original glossy double- weight gelatin silver prints from negatives, 11 x 14” (inclusive of margins). Captioned in pencil on verso. About fine.

Original prints of two photographs taken by Yousuf Karsh on location in South Africa attendant to the filming of the 1964 Diamond Films production, Zulu, directed by Cy Endfield. Karsh’s invitation to join the production and photograph the cast and locale resulted in a sequence of photographs of a very high order, and his interest in the Zulu people lead to additional photographs not directly associated with the film, such as these. The present images are two variants of the same situation, a large gathering of Zulu children, some seated, some standing, with a Caucasian nun, in habit, caring for one of the youngest of the children. The images are denoted numbers 317 and 410 in the sequence, and are captioned in pencil: “At a missionary hospital in Zululand” and “Time for milk at a missionary hospital in Zululand.” Although this project is not as widely known as Karsh’s formal portraiture, examples of the resulting images have featured prominently in both museum and print retrospectives of his career. $600.

Faint trace of handsoiling to white linen, otherwise fine in cloth and marbled board slipcase.

BURNE JONES 38. ROCKWELLKENTIANA 37. $1000. 190. Kent, Rockwell: [Original Pencil and Ink Study of a Knight and Squire]. [Np: The Artist, nd. but probably late 1920s - 1930s].

An attractive and very characteristic rendering of a caped bearded man with broad sword at ease, with a younger clean- shaven figure, also caped, standing behind his right shoulder. The drawing is not captioned, but it may have been a preliminary study for Kent’s Chaucer or Shakespeare, though it differs from anything finally published in either. With the Kent estate paraph in the lower right corner. $3000.

191. Kent, Rockwell [Original Lithograph:] “BEOWULF AND THE DRAGON.” [Np: The Artist, 1931]. Original stone lithograph (image area 34 x 24.5 cm; 13 1/2 x 10 1/8”), plus margins. Matted and well-framed under UV glass. Not exam- ined out of frame, but viewable area fine.

When printed in the book edition of Beowulf (1932), the plate was reversed and slightly smaller. It was subsequently reproduced in The Dolphin (#2) and in the October 1939 issue of American Printer. Additional shipping if sent in frame. BURNE JONES 75. ROCKWELLKENTIANA 61. $1000.

192. Kent, Rockwell [Original Wood Engraving - “Drift- er”]. [Np: The Artist, 1933]. Original wood engraving (image area 13.5 x 17.5 cm; 5 3/8 x 6 7/8”), plus very large margins. Matted. Print fine, mat faintly foxed.

Bollingen Series I

194. King, Jeff; Maud Oakes, and Joseph Campbell: WHERE THE TWO CAME TO THEIR FATHER A NAVAHO WAR CEREMONIAL. New York: Pantheon Books / Bollingen Series, [1943]. [8],84,[4]pp. Quarto book of text, in printed wrappers, accompanied by printed cloth portfolio (62 x 47 cm) with ribbon ties, containing eighteen original color pochoir prints. The upper and lower paper folding flaps enclosing the plates are a bit rumbled and snagged, slight bumps to extreme lower corner of a few plates, some occasional isolated marginal smudges or tiny spots (some inherent in paper), otherwise an unusually nice set, very good to near fine.

The uncommon and beautiful first edition of the first publication in the numbered sequence of the Bollingen Series, and one of the most elaborate productions to appear under its imprint. Jeff King (Hashkeh-yilth-e-yah; 1865-1964) lived on the Pinedale Navaho Reservation, and performed this ritual on the occasion of the departure of Navaho men to serve in the US Army during WWII. Oakes, who was then living on the reservation, was allowed to record the two day ceremony, and kept a record of the elaborate sandpaintings that are integral to the ritual. Based on his service as an Army scout from 1891-1911, King was the first Na- vaho to be interred at Arlington National Cemetery. The Bollingen Series, published under the auspices of the Bollingen Foundation with the support of Paul Mellon and his first wife, Mary, has to be reckoned one of the most ambitious and significant publishing enterprises of the 20th century. And it was highly appropriate that it was inaugurated by this beautiful production incorporating commentary by Joseph Campbell, who was long associated with the Series as author and editor. $1750.

195. [King, Stephen (sourcework)]: Romero, George R. [screenwriter]: THE DARK HALF SCREENPLAY BY ... BASED ON THE NOVEL BY .... [Np]: Orion Pictures Corp, 6 October - 31 December 1990.

Romero also directed the Spring 1993 release, which starred Timothy Hutton, Amy Madigan, et al. At- tending this copy are a number of supplements, including photomechanically reproduced story boards (several with the credit line of Romero associate [Rick] ‘Catizone’) and contact sheets (of stills by renowned photographer Lynne Warberg), a prototype for a promotional piece, etc. While wanting in physical signs of provenance, the colored revises and ancillary material in the supplement imply a reasonable probability that this copy was produced with authority. $275.

196. [Kleinholz, Frank]: Freundlich, August L.: FRANK KLEINHOLZ - THE OUTSIDER. Coral Gables: University of Miami Press, [1969]. Small quarto. Cloth. Sixty-one illustrations, sixteen in color. Small bump to lower front fore-tip, else very good in chipped and worn dust jacket.

An unspecified draft of this English language version of an original screenplay by the French actor/stuntman/producer, evidently unproduced.

A fascinating collection of small works, largely on paper but also involving vellum and cloth, printed, painted, screenprinted or otherwise worked over in ink, color and paint, including die-cuts, stencils and other varia. No edition size is explicit. One of the upper panels of the wallet is signed “Hedi Kyle Oxbow ‘97 PBI” in ink. Generally regarded as one of the most significant innovators and makers of artist’s books during the 1970s and 1980s, Hedi Kyle (b. 1937) graduated from the Werk-Kunst Schule in Wiesbaden, Germany, and after a brief career as a graphic designer, turned to book arts and book conservation. She retired as Head Conservator at the American Philosophical Society, and teaches as Adjunct Professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where she teaches book structures to MFA students of the Graduate Program in Book Arts and Printmaking. “Equally at home in the fields of conservation and the book arts, these fields have greatly in influenced her work and cross fertilized each other.

Folio (41.5 x 30cm). Pictorial wrappers. A good copy only: the extreme lower forecorners are a bit creased and occasionally ragged; the front wrapper has the lower extreme fore-corner chipped away and, there is a short tear near the toe of the spine resulting in the loss of the extreme lower spine corner of the lower wrapper and last leaf; there is a small chip in the lower wrapper at the spine crown; here is an 11 cm internally mended tear in the rear wrapper up from the lower edge and another internally mended 7 cm tear in the fore-edge, each with small chips associated; and one panel of the enormous center four panel gatefold is neatly separated along the fold; still, a reasonably good copy of an issue seldom found in ideal condition.

Founded by Maxim Gorky and published in the Soviet Union from 1930 to 1941 (and 1949), under the general editorship of G. Piatakov. An important issue of this innovative periodical, devoted to the Dnieprostroy hydroelectric project, with the ‘plan’ of the issue by El Lissitsky and M. Alpert. The text is by Boris Agapov, translated for this English version by D. S. Mir- sky. Of special note are four preliminary pages in tribute to H. G. Wells. The photographic component drew on a number of official sources, with additional special photography by Alpert and A. Shaykhet. “All the visual strategies of the propaganda photobooks, designed by Lissitsky, Rodchenko and others were developed in USSR in Construction, one of the most beautifully produced magazines of the twentieth century” - Parr-Badger. Versions were also published in Russian, German and French. PARR-BADGER I:148 $650.

217. Locke, Richard Adams: THE MOON HOAX; OR, A DISCOVERY THAT THE MOON HAS A VAST POPULATION OF HUMAN BEINGS .... New York: William Gowans, 1859. vi,63,[1],12pp. Original printed wrappers (a bit chipped and discolored at edges). Frontis. Early ink name and inscription, some relevant pencil annotations (some erased), historical society stamp on upper wrapper, large chip from lower edge and along lower portion of the joint of the rear wrapper; a good, sound copy.

One of the more accessible editions of the famous 19th century fabrication, first published serially in the New York Sun in August 1835, and then reprinted in two pamphlet formats in 1835 (both of them quite rare). This edition includes a frontispiece of “A View of the Moon, as Seen by Lord Rosse’s Telescope 1856.” Locke (1800 - 1871) cast his fiction as a reprinting of communications originally published as a supplement to the Edinburgh Journal of Science, purportedly based on correspondence between Sir John Herschel and Dr. Andrew Grant. A portion of the text deals with the technical aspects of the construction of the enhanced telescope that made the observations possible, and the remainder treats the descriptions of the vegetation and animal life that thereby became observable, including winged humanoids exhibiting a level of moderately high civilized development. Locke’s fiction convinced a considerable portion of its readership of its veracity and the separate contemporary printings sold out very quickly. In 1852, a close acquaintance of Locke’s, William Griggs, published a larger work incorporating the original text, an account of the reception of the hoax, a biographical sketch revealing the identity of the author and additional context, including factual treatment of the known characteristics of the moon.

226. Mallarmé, Stéphane: UN COUP DE DÉS JAMAIS N’ABOLIRA LE HASARD POÈME. Paris: Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue Francaise, 1914. Large quarto (33 x 25.5 cm). Printed wrappers. Minor tanning and smudging to wrappers (chiefly the lower wrapper), but a very good copy.

First edition in book form of Mallarme’s long poem, ordinary issue on vergé, after ten copies on Montval and 90 on vélin d’Arches, printed 10 July 1914 at L’Imprimerie Sainte Cath- erine, in Bruges. First published in the journal Cosmopolis (May 1897), the poem, in an effort to produce the effect of a musical score and the “subdivisions prismatiques de l’idée,” demanded a special layout and precision of typography that left Mallarmé unsatisfied with the results. This edition was overseen after his death by his son-in-law, Dr. Edmond Bon- niot, and drew upon manuscripts, proofs, annotations and notes by Mallarmé in an attempt to accomplish a typographic arrangement closer to the author’s intent: one of the first purely typographic poems in French literature. TALVART & PLACE (Mallarme), 13a. $1500. 227. Mamet, David: THE NEW HOUSE. [Np]: Rebecca Press, 1989. Miniature (7 x 5.7 cm).

Light use, with some dust marks at top edge toward the end, but a very good copy.

A rather detailed and wide-ranging report on the state of Japanese interests in the South Manchuria Railway Zone, based on rights ceded to them in the Treaty of Portsmouth. An appendix prints many documents relating to the Manchurian incident in September of 1931, when an explosion near the tracks was blamed on Chinese dissidents, providing the pretext for Japanese military action and their larger invasion of Manchuria. The invasion and subsequent proclamation of a Manchurian State allied with Japanese interests elicited reactions across a wide range, including strong condemnation of the Japanese and accusations that the explosion was set deliberately to justify their subsequent invasion. $250.

229. Mantell, Gideon Algernon: THOUGHTS ON ANIMALCULES; OR, A GLIMPSE OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD REVEALED BY THE MICROSCOPE. London: John Murray, 1846. xvi,144,[4],8pp. Octavo. Forest green cloth, decorated in blind. Illustrated with twelve colored lithographed plates. Spine and edges sunned, with some modest chipping to the spine extremities, lower fore-tip gnawed, but internally a very good, tight copy.

First edition. Mantell (1790-1852) was an active geologist and paleontologist, when not pursu- ing his professional medical career as an obstetrician. Including his work with the fossils that were finally accepted in 1825 as the remains of the Iguanadon, Mantel was, by the time of his death, credited with the discovery of four out of the five genera of dinosaurs then known. In this work, he turned to consideration of species of a much smaller scale. NISSEN ZBI 2685. FREEMAN 2446. $300.

These proofs reproduce Manvell’s corrections, as well as his crossing through the denotation ‘Uncorrected’ and noting ‘Corrected Robert Manvell.” Manvell, widely known for his work as film historian and military historian, is lauded in many quarters for this novel’s additional treatment of issues tied to racism in Britain in the post-WWII years. $125.

231. Masters, Edgar Lee: THE TALE OF CHICAGO. New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1933. Large octavo. Cloth, gilt leather spine label, edges untrimmed. Cream cloth side panels a bit tanned and smudged, but a good, internally near fine copy.

“Trapped by ‘Beatnik’!”

232. Matheson, Richard, and Lewis Meltzer [screenwriters]: [Pictorial Lobby Title Card for:] THE BEAT GENERATION. [Culver City: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer] / Albert Zugsmith Produc- tions, 1959. Original 11 x 14” color pictorial lobby title card. Near fine.

Card #1 (the title card) of the lobby card set issued promoting Albert Zugsmith’s cinematic look “Behind the Weird ‘Way-Out’ World of the Beatniks,” directed by Charles F. Haas, and starring Steve Cochran, Mamie Van Doren, Ray Danton, Jackie Coogan, Louis Armstrong, Vampira, et al. This was a relatively early credit for the immensely talented Richard Matheson, who then had insufficient leverage to -- or perhaps chose not to -- undertake the novelization that appeared under Zugsmith’s name. If a viewer happens to catch this exploitative fiasco on late night television, merciful charity should be extended to the late Mr. Matheson, for whom much greater accomplishments lay ahead. Louis Armstrong appears in two of the less sensational vignettes on this title card, but is counterpointed by another vignette captioned “Trapped by ‘Beatnik’! Ringleader of the ‘Beatniks’ Ray Danton tricks his way into the apart- ment of Mamie Van Doren.” $150.

This copy has also been copiously extra-illustrated with pictorial material from other sources, including title-pages and portraits from a number of late 18th and early 19th century editions of Bunyan’s work, resulting in a monument to a few generations of bibliophilic taste and practice now dampened by the passage of time and the disinclination to dismember other books to produce plump, Grangerized laps-full of text and illustration. $1500.

234. Mau, Leonore [photographer]: DICHTER MIT UMGEBUNG LEONORE MAU POR- TRAITIERT [cover title]. [Frankfurt am Main & Paris]: Qumran Verlag, [1981].

A visually evocative lobby card from Clarke’s 1963 semi-documentary of life in Harlem, following up on her landmark film adaptation of Gelber’s The Connection and including cast member Carl Lee from the former. Warren Miller’s 1959 novel and its adaptation to the stage co-written with Robert Rossen served as the backbone of the film’s narrative. The film included music by Mal Waldron, featuring Dizzy Gillespie. The publicity squib could be faulted for being somewhat over the top: “Fuzz! Junk! Hooker! Rumble! These are words that mean big trouble in The Cool World.” Original publicity material for this National Film Registry film is not terribly common. $60.

246. Milne, David B. (Canadian, 1882 - 1953): [Original Two Color Drypoint, Signed, “Hill Top” (a.k.a. “Painting Place”)], contained in THE COLOPHON A BOOK COLLECTOR’S QUARTERLY.

The task took him over a year to accomplish, with consequent variant states within the edition. The plate measures 125 x 175 mm, and the margins are full, as issued. In spite of the large edition, this print enjoys considerable popularity both in and when removed from its original context. $950.

I will supplement it within a few days - naming also Boston architects who have been specially successful in their way.

255. Moore, George: HELOISE AND ABELARD. London: Privately Printed for Subscribers Only [by T. Werner Laurie], 1921. Two volumes. Parchment and boards, paper labels. Some foxing at fore-edges, otherwise very good in lightly frayed and soiled dust jackets.

First editions. One of 1500 sets printed on handmade paper, numbered and signed by the author in the first volume. “Owing to the attempted legal suppression of ‘The Brook Kerith’ and the libel suit instituted on the publication of ‘Lewis Seymour and Some Women’, GM decided that in the future his books would be issued privately in limited editions. As Hone (p. 343) relates it, ‘A Story-Teller’s Holiday” was the first of these limited editions, which it pleased Moore to issue under the sign of Cumann Sean-eolais na h-Eireann (Society for Irish Folklore), but no such society has ever existed’” - Gilcher. The real justification of this set’s being offered is the uncommon laid-in broadside (10 x 13.5 cm) reporting Boni & Liveright’s request to US customs that all imported copies of this edition be confiscated and treated as contraband as they were issuing their own edition. The broadside is dust darkened along one margin. GILCHER A40a. $125.

This portrait dates from the decade of Muray’s great commercial breakthrough, with commissions for portraits from Vanity Fair, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Muray’s portaits of his lover, Frida Kahlo, taken during their ten year affair, are among the iconic portraits of the artist. Muray later developed many of the accepted conventions of commercial photography, and is regarded as a master of the three-color carbro process. $350. 259.

First edition. Nickles was Professor of Chemistry at the Medical College of Ohio and a prac- ticing physician. He was also active as a translator of German medical texts for publication in the US. One assumes Nickles here addresses the downside of the use of alcohol, but he may have had a less than sympathetic audience as it would be difficult to imagine the meeting of any literary club, German-language or other, bereft of spirits. OCLC, which misspells the author’s last name ‘Nickels’, locates a single copy, at Univ. of Cincinnati. OCLC:870275056. $100.

A somewhat difficult to assess German language periodical of visual and audio stimulation and adverts. The inserts include a flexi-disk recording, a bagged “Messer Gegen Magazine,” a McDonalds sugar packet, and a foil finish repro of a cassette. $35.

274. O’Flaherty, Liam [sourcework], and Dudley Nichols [screenwriter]: [Original Tinted Picto- rial Lobby Card for:] THE INFORMER. [New York: RKO Radio Pictures, 1935]. Original tinted 11 x 14” pictorial lobby card. Tack holes in blank corners and middle margins from display use, otherwise very good or better, the image bright and unsullied.

A visually striking vintage lobby card, one of a set of eight issued to promote John Ford’s multi-award winning film adaptation of O’Flaherty’s 1925 novel set in the turmoil of 1922 Dublin, based on a screenplay by Dudley Nichols, and starring Victor McLaglen, Heather Angel, Preston Foster, et al. The film garnered Oscars for Best Leading Actor, Best Director, Best Musical Score and Best Screenplay (which Nichols declined). It was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Editing. $225.

An unspecified but early pre-production draft of Shaw’s screenplay adaptation of O’Neill’s 1924 play. The film was released in March of 1958. Although his name does not appear on this script, Shaw was the credited screenwriter; Delbert Mann directed, and Sophia Loren, Anthony Perkins, Burl Ives, et al made up the cast. Mann was nominated for the Palme d’Or, and the film received two other nominations (including for an Oscar), for Best B&W Cinematography. OCLC/Worldcat locates a single copy of any form of this script, at Ohio State. OCLC: 24002321. $250. 276.

Thirteen approximately 8x10” borderless double weight black & white silver print photographs. Stamped on verso by photographer, and with mimeo squibs either affixed or now loose. Some crop marks and annotations for reproduction, glue marks on versos from descriptive squibs, very good to near fine.

A representative lot of promotional stills by renowned theatrical photographer Martha Swope from the Broadway revival of O’Neill’s A Moon for the Misbegotten, directed by José Quintero. The play’s 1957 Broadway premiere was received indifferently; this production completely changed the critical attitude towards this play, making this run of 313 total performances at the Morosco Theatre an historically important one. The play’s cast included Colleen Dewhurst, Jason Robards, Ed Flanders, Edwin J. McDonough, and John O’Leary. $300.

First edition of the extraordinary account of Commander Gorringe’s expedition to transport the Egyptian obelisk that now stands in New York’s Central Park. Illus- trated with thirty-two ‘Artotypes,” a four- figure plate of chromolithographs, and eighteen engravings. A career officer in the US Navy, Gorringe was sent in 1876 in command of the “USS Gettysburg” on special service to the Mediterranean, where he remained until 1878, all the while contributing letters to the New York Nation. He came to fame in 1880 by his work in dismounting, packing, transporting and erecting the Egyptian obelisk (“Cleopatra’s Needle”) that had been offered to the US by the Egyptian Khedive Ismail in 1879 at the opening of the Suez Canal. On October 16, 1879, with the assistance of 100 Arabs, he rigged the obelisk into the hold of the steamer Dessoug. It arrived in New York on July 20, 1880 and it took 5 months to rig the obelisk from the water to Central Park, where it arrived on January 22, 1881. The work also incorporates archaeological observations on and a census of Egyptian obelisks, along with accounts of the transfer of the London, Paris and Vatican obelisks. Many of the photographs are credited to Edward Bierstadt, or to Hannoun & Bierstadt. $850.

Folded for mailing, with a bit of tan external offsetting, otherwise very good.

A solicitation, marked “Private and Confidential,” from Winchell (c/o the Stork Club) on behalf of the Committee, for financial and material help for Olsen, “... said to be a victim of unsound investments ...,” to be sent to Winchell. There is sufficient irony in some of the assertions to give rise to the consideration that it may have been in jest. Olsen (1892-1963) had a long and successful career on the vaudeville stage and in Hollywood, most notably with the 1938 hit, Hellzapoppin!, which was filmed in 1941. $35.

A complete set of the highly pictorial promotional lobby cards for the US release of the 1954/5 British animated film adaptation of Orwell’s beast fable, directed by Joy Batchelor and John Halas, with voices by Gordon Heath and Maurice Denham. This was the first animated feature produced in the UK to see theatrical release, and it remained somewhat faithful to Orwell’s original. It employed some eighty animators, and was financed in part by the CIA as a work of anti-Soviet propaganda. Uncommon in this condition. $250.

First edition. One of 125 copies printed on Kozo and St. Arman paper at the Paradise Press, and bound by Shelley Hoyt. An exploration, in the form of a dialogue (of sorts -- an instructor’s annotations juxtaposed with the student’s translations and notes), on the learning of a language. $175.

First separate edition, and first illustrated edition, for those inclined to read just the action bits (largely) without the religious bits. This copy is in BAL’s binding A. The first film adaptation of Ben-Hur (a 13 minute short starring William S.

Sepulveda, CA: Famous Players Corp., [1966]. Four 11 x 14” highly pictorial lobby cards. 1” tear in edge of one card (no loss), two cards with marginal use, including minute chips from extreme blank corners, filing denotation in crayon on verso of another, but otherwise very good.

Four of the eight lobby cards produced to promote Albert Zugsmith’s relatively early psychedelic exploitation film, ostensibly exploring the therapeutic effects of LSD on a suicidal film star. The film, including “hilarious scenes in LSD color,” starred Robert Strauss, Del Moore, T.C. Jones, Paula Lane (as ‘Great Film Star Honey Bunny’), and a whole host of others who should have known better. The publicity material includes images of a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like bordering on the scandalous (other promotional paper included images of an Elizabeth Taylor look-a-like).

Some representative stills from this 1951 semi-fictional anti-communist propaganda feature directed by Gordon Douglas, starring Frank Lovejoy, Dorothy Hart, et al. While it in no way qualified for the label, it was nominated for an Oscar as a “documentary.” $50.

First edition, first impression of the author’s second novel, with the dedication to Henry James (“This Slight Token of Respect and Admiration”).

This first impression is scarce in commerce. NCBEL IV:719. d’Arch Smith, LOVE IN EARNEST, p.8. $850.

302. Reid, Forrest: THE GENTLE LOVER A COMEDY OF MIDDLE AGE. London: Edward Arnold, 1913. Mustard cloth, decorated in blind, lettered in black.

One Other Copy Located

308. Robinson, Dr. J[ohn] H[ovey]: THE ISADORE, OR, THE FATED BARQUE: A STORY OF NEW ENGLAND FOUNDED ON FACT. Boston: Published by Warren W. Page, 1847. [2],5-50pp. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. Printed in double columns. Moderate spotting and browning, large chip from blank fore-margin of title, lower fore-corner of pp.7-8 torn away, affecting some text on p. 7, smaller chip at lower forecorner affecting a few words on p.26, otherwise a sound copy.

First edition. A rare and relatively early work of historical fiction by the prolific physician/ novelist (1820-1867). Robinson studied at Bowdoin and Harvard, but did not graduate. His earliest separate works of fiction began appearing in 1846, and Wright records over a dozen separate titles published by 1850 and 27 others thereafter. During his lifetime he contrib- uted frequently to the popular papers of the era, and Beadle reprinted many of his works after his death. Wright locates only the Yale copy of this title, and OCLC reports no others (and in fact, does not even report the copy confirmed at Yale). Robinson’s fiction takes its base in the loss of the Isadore, a 400 ton vessel on its maiden voyage from Kennebunk to New Orleans. It was wrecked in 1842 in a winter storm near Cape Neddick, with the loss of all hands. Although this is a copy somewhat wounded by the passage of years, it is a demonstrably a rare book. WRIGHT I:2135. $275. 309. [Romulus Editions]: Walker, David, and Thomas Cornell [illustrator]: VOICEPRINTS. [Portland, ME]: Romulus Editions, 1989. Thin quarto. Quarter morocco and decorated paper over boards. Illustrated with five full-page color etchings. Fine. Enclosed, with separate suite in cloth folder, within a folding cloth clamshell box.

Accompanied by a separate suite of the etchings by Thomas Cornell, each numbered and signed by the artist in the margin. The etchings were printed by James Cambronne. A suite of poems on themes suggested by Kafka, Charles Ives, Henry James, Bruegel, Mandelstam and others. The decorative boards exhibit a print based on an oscilloscope trace generated from the poet reading the title. $3500.

310. Root, Lynn [sourcework], and Joseph Schrank [screenwriter]: [Collection of 21 Still Photographs from:] CABIN IN THE SKY. [Los Angeles: MGM, ca. 1960s]. Twenty-one high quality 8x10” black & white stills. A few annotations on versos, otherwise very near fine.

An excellent lot of stills of scenes and character shots associated with the 1943 Vincennte Minnelli film based on a screenplay by Joseph Schrank sourced from Lynn Root’s 1940 musical play. The film starred Lena Horne, Ethel Waters, Eddie ‘Rochester’ Anderson, Rex Ingram and Louis Armstrong, all but the latter featured prominently in one or more of these stills. These are quite high quality prints, probably associated with distribution of the film by the studio for television in the 1960s, and not second generation copy prints. $175.

In 2004, he was featured in an exhibition and workshop at Black Mountain College Museum and Arts Center marking the publication of Black Mountain College Dossier No. 8: Gregory Masurovsky. $250.

316. [Sassoon, Siegfried]: Trotter, Mrs. A[lys] F[ane]: OLD CAPE COLONY A CHRONICLE OF HER MEN AND HOUSES FROM 1652 TO 1806. London: Selwyn & Blount, [c. 1903]. Cloth and boards, paper spine label. Frontis and illustrations. Spine label worn, foxing at edges and endsheets, but a good copy.

From the library of Siegfried Sassoon, inscribed to him by the author, and with the posthumous library dispersal label. Trotter’s son, Nigel, was KIA near Béthune in October 1914, and she published two volumes of verse containing war poems. Dublin-born, Trotter and her husband lived in the Cape Colony 1896-9, an experience from whence this historical account was derived. OCLC reports copies under Constable’s imprint as well, and as those copies feature a more substantial decorated binding; this may be a remainder issue or reprint, although the latter is not evidenced in the book itself. $125.

317. [Sassoon, Siegfried]: THE DAFFODIL MURDERER BEING THE CHANTREY PRIZE POEM. By “Saul Kain” [pseud]. London: John Richmond Ltd., 1913. Stiff orange wrapper, printed in red. Scattered foxing, soft creases, bookplate residue inside front wrapper, an array of small brown spots along fore-portion of the upper wrapper; still, a good copy.

First edition of Sassoon’s anonymous parody of Masefield, published in an edition of one thousand copies, with a pseudonymous prefatory note, signed “William Butler,” by the publisher, poet T.W.H. Crosland. Though Sassoon underwrote the publication expenses, this was the first of his books not to be privately printed. KEYNES A10. $400.

318. Schwerner, Armand: BACCHAE SONNETS. Omaha: Abattoir Editions & The Cumming- ton Press, 1974. Oblong quarto. Cloth, paper label. Label somewhat foxed, a bit tanned at edges, but very good or better in foxed plain tissue wrapper.

319. Scott, Arlis [compiler]: TO CALIFORNIA WITH LOVE. Sacramento: Developmental Dis- abilities Service Organization, Inc., [1982]. iii,16,[1]pp. Large octavo (23.5 x 15 cm). Loose sheets, punched and wirebound into oxidized copper sheeting. Photographs. Decorative title-page with handcolored ornaments. Bookplate on free endsheet, otherwise about fine.

First edition, limited issue. One of 100 numbered copies signed by the author, who also, with Margaret Gorman, was responsible for calligraphy, design and artwork. The binding materials for this special issue are from the copper dome of the California Capitol Building, replaced during the 1976-1982 restoration project, which this book commemorates, and the binding was fashioned by “persons with developmental disabilities.” The final leaf bears an example of the Great Seal of California, and is signed in ink by the then Secretary of State. The text and photographs relate to the history and renovation of the State Capitol Building. An interesting undertaking, and rather uncommon. No copies are located in OCLC/Worldcat. $350.

320. Semionova, E. [design]: URSS EN CONSTRUCTION REVUE MENSUELLE ILLUSTRÉE [Whole Number 6]. [Moscow: State Publishing House of Graphic Arts, June 1932. Folio (41.5 x 30cm). Typographic wrappers. Heavily illustrated with photographs. Corners a bit bumped, some wear along spine, with split below lower staple, otherwise very good.

Founded by Maxim Gorky and published in the Soviet Union from 1930 to 1941 (and 1949), under the general editorship of G. Piatakov. An issue of this innovative periodical devoted to Soviet Civil Aviation. This is the French language edition, translator not identified. “All the visual strategies of the propaganda photobooks, designed by Lissitsky, Rodchenko and others were developed in USSR in Construction, one of the most beautifully produced magazines of the twentieth century” - Parr-Badger. Versions were also published in Russian, German and English. PARR-BADGER I:148 $500.

321. Shafransky, Reneé: WHITE TRASH ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY BY .... [Np: The Author], 5-1-1989. [1],107 leaves. Quarto. Photomechanically reproduced typescript, printed on rectos only. Bradbound in ICM wrappers. Upper wrapper pulled at brads, ICM routing memo stapled to upper wrapper, otherwise very good.

A “revised first draft” of this original screenplay. A few years later, Ms. Shafransky was involved as writer and producer for several of Spalding Gray’s film and stage endeavors - they were married 1991-1993. $50.

322. [Sharp, William]: PHARAIS. By “Fiona Macleod” [pseud]. Edinburgh & London: T. N. Foulis, 1907. 12mo. Stiff pictorial wrappers. Pictorial title-page vignette. Faint private name stamp on preliminary blank, some trivial binding glue discoloration inside the front wrapper, otherwise an unusually nice copy.

First edition, later issue. Published originally by the Moray Press in 1894. Colbeck specu- lates that the Foulis copies of 1907 (which included a limited issue signed by the publisher) may have either been from a “small balance of unsold” 1894 sheets with new prelims, or were printed from the same plates. Indeed, the verso of the half-title here refers to The Mountain Lovers (1895) as still “In Preparation,” along with Dârthula: A Celtic Romance of the Past (not published?), and the verso of the last leaf bears the imprint of ‘Harfur and Murray, Printers, Derby’, lending credence to the former hypothesis. While OCLC locates ten copies of the 75 numbered and signed configuration of this issue, only one copy of this trade issue is located (UCSB). The 1894 publication marked the debut of Sharp’s alter-ego, Fiona Macleod, whose fame, and some would say talent as well, exceeded any granted the works published under his own name. COLBECK II:742. BLEILER, p.131. NCBEL III:1064. OCLC: 213771259. $85.

323. Shaw, George Bernard: [Two Leaves of Revised Typescript for:] “THE MILLIONAIR- ESS.” [Np. nd]. Two leaves, quarto, on blue-green stock. With manuscript additions in red and black ink. Folded at one time for mailing, otherwise very good.

Two leaves of an unidentified draft of “The Millionairess,” annotated with revisions by Shaw in his distinctive hand. The leaves are denoted as “Act 1. Page 138,” and “Act II, Page 162” (the former typed, the latter in Shaw’s hand). The typed portions are themselves noted as for substitution in an earlier draft and are identified as such in Shaw’s hand on one leaf and in typescript on another. Both leaves bear his manuscript direction to substitute a line of dialogue for Epifania in place of lines 3, 4, 5, & 6 on page 156. The play was not published in book form until 1935 (in Trebitsch’s German translation) and 1936, in English, with two other plays, by Constable. The 1938 publication in volume 33 of the Collected Edition was revised by Shaw, and he adapted it for broadcast by the BBC in 1942. $650.

An apology for one of the several snafus associated with the publication in the first number of Yeats’s “Eight Poems” -- in this case the copyright question -- is printed inside the front wrapper. Spare’s artwork and occult interests have enjoyed a resurgence of interest in recent decades, and copies of this original incarnation of Form are no longer particularly common, even in less than stellar condition. $175.

Two boilerplate typescript letters promoting to booksellers Gertrude Stein’s How To Write, published the preceding November as the third Plain Edition. Both are signed in ink “A.B. Toklas” in her distinctive hand. One has a date emendation and insertion of recipient’s name and address in original typescript by Toklas, and a pencil highlight in the left margin next to the terms is likely the work of the recipient at “Rosengren’s Nook [sic] Store” then still located in Chicago. The letters emphasize the book’s positive reception, citing and quoting reviews by Marcel Brion and Ellen du Poy. While one might assume a number of such letters were posted at the time by Toklas and Stein, few appear to have survived. $950.

Eighteen items, various paginations, including separately printed works and extracts.

Bound for Comte Christian de Tocqueville (1862-1924), with his gilt arms on each board and his bookplate. Occasional foxing and dusting, but an excellent gathering, in a handsome binding.

An interesting and varied collection of works about Alexis de Tocqueville, assembled by and bound for his nephew, and editor of some of his uncle’s posthumously published works. Among the principal items present are: a) Cassou, Charles: Tocqueville (Alexis De) [wrapper title]. [Np: Imprimerie de Madame de Lacombe, [ca. 1842]. 47,[1]pp; b) Gigot, Albert: M. De Tocqueville. Paris: Charles Douniol, 1861. 39,[1]pp. Original front wrapper bound in; c) Lacordaire, [Jean-Baptiste Henri]: Discours Prononcés Dans la Séance Publique Tenue par L’Académie Francaise ...

Paris: Gustave Retaux, 1867. 40pp. Other items include extracts of signed and unsigned reviews of Tocqueville’s works (including their translations into English) from various sources, memorials, etc. Kergorlay’s work is of special significance, both for the excellent association value of this particular copy, and for its relevance as a memoir by Tocqueville’s cousin and one of his oldest and closest friends. Lacordaire’s Discours ... is also of particular note, as it marked the occasion of his taking the seat in the Académie Francaise left vacant by de Tocqueville’s death. It is in large part a tribute to his predecessor, and includes the text of the formal response by Guizot. $1850.

Original 12” 78 rpm double-sided phonograph record. Printed labels a trifle foxed, small blemish at extreme edge far from grooves, otherwise visually very good.

A quite rare recording of Trumbo’s recitation of his long poem, first published in the Winter 1947 (I:1) issue of Mainstream. While OCLC includes a barebones entry for this recording (without citing locations), it refers to “Part 2” only, which is the flip side of the present record, and is somewhat contradictory, asserting there is “no linguistic content” and “unreadable” and that it is a “musical recording.” OCLC: 77819968. $250. Trumbo Under the Black List

An American edition of Ms. Turner’s collection of fifteen poems, with the plates adapted from the English edition of 1807. Like the copy cited in Rosenbach and several other copies we have noted, the collation was garbled, whether in printing or in binding, resulting in a partial reversal of the sequence of the verses, and several of the engravings appearing upside down. It is likely that many of the extant copies share this flaw (feature?) and have a common origin in the Polock remainder. ROSENBACH 382. $100.

A contemporary account, in verse, of an altercation during the Fall term of 1815, involving Yale students at a tavern in Dragon (now Fair Haven Heights). Hill read the poem at a meeting of the Scientific Club, and sixty years later, after his death, his classmate W.C. Fowler, caused it to be printed, with the final page turned over to a densely set explanatory “Note.” Hill published at least two volumes of verse during his lifetime, was anthologized by E.C. Stedman, and edited an anthology of British poets. The publisher, William Chauncey Fowler (1793 -1881), was Noah Webster’s son-in-law, and led a full life as educator, pastor, author and lexicographer.

Newsprint tanned, some fraying and partial breaks along the folds; nonetheless, a reasonably good copy of an issue rarely seen in anything approaching agreeable condition.

The scarce first number of the periodical closely identified with Warhol in its early days, here in format far humbler than characterized its appearance in the 1970s and 1980s with the legendary cover art by Richard Bernstein.

This issue opened with interviews/articles with/about George Cukor, Michael Sarne, Agnes Varda, Peter Fonda, and Taylor Mead, along with reviews, commentary and much else.
