Postmortem
by Cornwell, Patricia Daniels
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1990. First edition. Fine/fine. A virtually Fine copy (very light shelf wear, one corner lightly bumped) in a Fine dust jacket (tiny rub to lower rear corner) of Cornwell's first published novel (her three prior efforts having been rejected by publishers), her mystery debut introducing the famed Dr. Kay Scarpetta, INSCRIBED TO CORNWELL'S PERSONAL FRIENDS AND SIGNED BY HER. Cornwell began as a crime reporter for a Southern newspaper and later took a job with Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner. Her personal experience with, and detailed knowledge of, forensic science permeates her novels and gives them an authentic feel. A tremendous success, Postmortem launched Cornwell to fame and fortune. This copy has been INSCRIBED, SIGNED, DATED AND PLACED BY CORNWELL TO PERSONAL FRIENDS on the half title, which also wears an authentication sticker. The inscription reads: "March 22, 1991 / Norfolk / To my good ole friends / Karen & Gordon - / Great to see you / Again! / (Remember Philadelphia) / Warmly / Patricia D Cornwell". The dust jacket's colors are sharp, rich, and vibrant. This is a beautiful book with a much nicer and more personal (rather than the typical generic) inscription than is usually found. Copies such as this one are not common.

Description:
New York:: Scribner's,, 1937.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with just a hint of wear to the head of the spine. To Have and Have Not was Hemingway's second novel set in the United States, after The Torrents of Spring. Written sporadically between 1935 and 1937, and revised as he traveled back and forth from Spain during the Spanish Civil War, To Have and Have Not portrays Key West and Cuba in the 1930s, and provides a social commentary on that time and place. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers describes the novel as heavily influenced by the Marxist ideology Hemingway was exposed to by his support of the Republican faction in the Spanish Civil War while he was writing it. The novel had its origins in two short stories published earlier in periodicals by Hemingway ("One Trip Across" and "The Tradesman's Return") which make up the opening chapters, and a novella, written later, which makes up about two-thirds of the book. The narrative is…

Slight soiling and discolouration of the cloth, otherwise a very clean, sharp copy. Internally clean, although the poor paper stock has resulted in some uniform toning. One of the scarcest Gaberbocchus publications, and a fine collaboration from the wildly creative Kavan, one of the few authors to have constructed a nom-de-plume, and then adopted that pseudonym as their real name, amongst numerous other achievements, of course.

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
