Page 20 HEMINGWAY’S FIRST NOVEL 112. Hemingway, Ernest. The Torrents of Spring. Greenish-black cloth, pictorial dust jacket. First Edition. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1926 Hemingway’s first novel, printed in an edition of only 1250 copies, the first of his books to be published by Scribner’s. Hemingway began the book while under contract to Boni & Liveright, who had published his first book, the collection of stories “In Our Time”. Hemingway was dismayed by the book’s lack of commercial success and blamed the publisher’s poor promotion and use of blurbs by more famous writers -- most especially Sherwood Anderson, who was then the dean of American letters and Boni & Liveright’s bestselling author. Hemingway felt the blurbs were off-putting and hurt, rather than helped, his book. Although he was under contract to Boni & Liveright for two more books, Hemingway contrived a plan to free himself from the obligation: his contract stated that if Boni rejected one of his books, he would be free to terminate the contract and take his writing elsewhere. As such, he conceived of a short, comic novel which would lampoon Sherwood Anderson’s most recent book, “Dark Laughter”, and which would be unpublishable by Boni, thus freeing Hemingway to go elsewhere. Hemingway Lot 112 wrote “The Torrents of Spring” in a few short weeks in November, 1925 and submitted it to Boni & Liveright where it was promptly, as he had expected, rejected. Hanneman A4.A. Jacket browned and with some staining, large chip at head of spine and top edge of front panel with loss to the top of “The” and the “T” of “Torrents”, tape repairs to jacket spine; minor wear to cloth, stray ink mark and finger soiling to half title; near fine in a fair jacket.

Page 23 124. Mencken, H[enry] L[ouis]. Typed Letter Signed by H.L. Mencken, to a Mr. Bloede. 16 lines, on half-sheet of Mencken’s Hoillins Street letterhead, signed in ink. 13.5x21.5 cm. (5½x8½”). Baltimore, MD: Dec. 18th, [1923] Mencken writes to industrialist/philanthropist Victor Gustav Bloede about indulgences paid to the Catholic Church for his late uncle, “I have sent Father Gilgan $25 to be applied to the account of my Uncle Emil. It will take at least 500 years of steady prayer to get Emil out of Purgatory. His life, I regret to say, was anything but a model for the young. He not only gave himself up to wind-bibbing; he also carried on in a scandalous manner with the Widow Gohlinghorst. You may recall that he died suddenly at the annual picnic of the Mozart Bauverein, with a seidel of beer in his hand and mocking laughter on his lips. The pallbearers at his funeral dropped in at Adam Dietrich’s place on their way home from Loudon Park, and one of them, Fritz Lehbach, was taken with mania à potu the next day and had to be strapped in his bed...” An entertaining letter made even more interesting considering Mencken’s cynical attitude toward organized religion.

One of the most important works of late classical antiquity dealing with food, wine and table customs, dating from the third century A.D.

(11½x8¾”), original green cloth stamped in gilt and black. First Edition. London: Maclaren & Sons, [c.1900] A rare work illustrated with original photographs. Simmons, a lecturer at the National Bakery School in London, commissioned the full-size black and white photos of different types of bread that appear in his work, writing: “However critical readers may be, they will be forced to admit that never before have they seen such a complete collection of prize loaves illustrated in such an excellent manner.” Martin Parr, in his seminal work “The Photobook: A History , Volume 1 offers: “It’s basically a technical book with photographs but is now possessed of an absurdist element that was perhaps unintended, but it is also a beautiful object. Simmons was so obsessed with bread that he produced an obsessively detailed and beautifully illustrated book.” Bitting p. 435. Extremities rubbed, front hinge shaken, rear hinge cracked; some creasing to corners of tipped in photos; very good. (1500/2500)

It can then be determined whether the item or items under consideration would do well at auction. Following this, arrangements can be made for the delivery of the material to PBA. In the case of large consignments or libraries, a member of the staff may be able to view the books on location, and make arrangements for its transportation to PBA Galleries. Because of the costs involved, PBA discourages consignments with a total value of less than $1500. The frequency of auctions, and variety of subject matter, allows PBA Galleries to ensure quick turn-around time for items consigned. Books can appear at auction as quickly as 30 days and generally not more than 90 days following consignment. Commissions vary between 10% and 15%, depending on the selling price of an item.These commissions encompass all related costs including insurance, storage, cataloguing, illustrations, etc., except shipping. Payment is sent within 20 banking days of an auction.
