Between the Covers Rare Books, inc. 112 Nicholson Rd (856) 456-8008 Gloucester City, NJ 08030 [email protected] www.betweenthecovers.com C ata lo g 187: Association Copies Redux In a world where the internet seems to have made multiple copies of interest- ing books available in profusion, it’s nice to have something that sets your copy of a book apart. This might mean a book inscribed by one important author to another. Maybe you’d prefer your copy of a book to have been used by a favorite author for research, complete with signs of ownership or use. Or perhaps you like books owned by literary figures, musicians, sports figures, or celebrities. Maybe you’d like a dedication copy, arguably the most important copy of a particular book that might exist.

In a collecting field (and for that matter, in a world) that prizes an item for its uniqueness, what could be better than an association copy? So here for your perusal is a selection of about 300 pretty much unique copies of books. Further, unlike our last association copy catalog, which featured many very ex- pensive volumes, we’ve tried here to make a point of including what are mostly pretty affordable books: that way you can buy lots of them!

New York: The John Day Company 1927. First edition. Illustrated by Henry O’Connor. 301pp. Publisher’s orange cloth. Very good or better with light scattered spotting, without dustwrapper. With an Autograph Letter Signed, a two page Typed Letter Signed, and one newspaper clipping laid in. While the letters are not dated, their clear association to the book indicates they are both from 1927. The one page autograph letter is addressed to the great boxing champion Gene Tunney, from “J.T. Holmes,” informing him that the enclosed book is autographed by the author, James Connolly, “as you will find inside.” However, Connolly doesn’t seem to have signed it. The two page typed letter is addressed to one “Joe” from “HenO” with many detailed references to Tunney and Connolly, and the nature of Tunney’s celebrity status at this time. Connolly was a noted American athlete and author. In 1896 he won the first event (triple jump) at the first Olympic championship of modern times, and later he became an authority on maritime writing, after spending many years at sea on fishing boats and military ships. An apt association.[BTC#343040]

This copy Inscribed by Cullinan to her editor at The New Yorker Rachel MacKenzie: “For Rachel, with love from Elizabeth.” Several of the stories appeared in The New Yorker. Rachel MacKenzie replaced Katherine White as the fiction editor at The New Yorker on the recommendation of May Sarton. During her tenure at the magazine MacKenzie was noted for her nurturing and editing of, among others, Sarton, Philip Roth, Muriel Spark, and especially Isaac Bashevis Singer. MacKenzie’s enthusiasm led to the magazine devoting an entire issue to Spark’s The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. However, the magazine wouldn’t publish Goodbye, Columbus as she recommended because William Shawn was too squeamish over the more “frank” aspects of the novella. A nice association.

[BTC#317683] Mabel Normand’s Copy Signed 21 Times! 71 de ACOSTA, Mercedes. Archways of Life. New York: Moffat, Yard and Company 1921. First edition. Papercovered boards with printed label. Small label of the Churchill Book and Print Shop in Los Angeles, erosion on the spine, sunning and corners of the board rubbed, a good copy. Poetry by the remarkable Cuban- American lesbian poet, playwright, and socialite reputed to have conducted lesbian affairs with Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Alla Nazimova, Eva Le Gallienne, Isadora Duncan, Katharine Cornell, and Maude Adams, among others. A very amusing copy. Mabel Normand’s copy with her bookplate, and Inscribed by her to herself: “For ‘Mayme’ with love from her friend with all the word friendship means. Mabel.” Additionally Normand has Signed her name “Mabel” at 19 different poems that apparently appealed to her and at one other poem as “Mayme.” Additionally she has made comments at a couple of poems (one reads “I love this”). There is also a later, apparently unrelated ownership signature. Normand was a fascinating character in her own right, a silent film star, comedienne, and apparent hedonist who lead a colorful life until her death at 37. She carried on a long affair with Mack Sennett, helped foster the career of Charlie Chaplin, wrote and directed many of her own films, was entangled in the murder of her friend and fellow bibliophile, the director William Desmond Taylor (she departed his house after borrowing some books from him, and was the last known person to see him alive), as well as in the shooting of oil broker and golfer Courtland S. Dines (shot by her chauffeur with her pistol). In 1920 she played a “split-personality” role as “Mayme” and “Rosa” in the filmWhat Happened to Rosa? Hence our attribution of this book as being inscribed to herself. [BTC#383312]

Pencil note: “Breslauer 29 Aug 1944” (presumably purchased from the prominent German-American rare bookseller at that time). Dühring was a philosopher and economist, and one of the promoters of the anti- Semitic movement in Germany. This work denigrates the role of the 18th century German philosopher and dramatist Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, whose works promoted religious tolerance, as evidenced by his friendship with Moses Mendelssohn.

As late as 1913, annual sales exceeded a quarter of a million copies a year, and total sales of the arithmetic books alone are estimated at 120 million copies.

Soldier of Peace.” An exact timeline of ownership is impossible to determine, but we suggest this was one of Paul Robeson, Sr.’s own copies, was then given to his brother, and was later inherited by the dedicatee, to whom his mother probably did not see fit to inscribe a copy while he was still in diapers.
