Boston: Ticknor & Fields, 1865. Blue BD cloth, stamped in blind, spine stamped in gilt. A couple of small nicks at toe of spine, ink ownership signature and date on free endsheet, and inscription on verso of preliminary blank (but see below); a few ink checks in the terminal catalogue; a very good or better copy. First edition, BAL's binding A. One of 2000 copies printed. Edited by Sophia Thoreau and William E. Channing. This copy bears the ink ownership signature and date ("April 1865") of Clarence Cook (1828 - 1900), author and art critic. The book was published in late March. At the time, Cook was contributing a series of articles about American art to the NEW YORK TRIBUNE. A relatively early ink inscription, signed "W.R.W.," on the verso of the preliminary blank details the books acquisition by its next owner. There are careful pencil annotations three places in the text, and some ink marginal highlights in the terminal catalogue next to Mayne Reid's titles. BAL 20115. BORST A5.1.a.

We have 31 copies available starting at $15.00.

Description:
Firenze: R. Bemporad & Figlio, Editori, 1922. First Edition. Hardcover. Maschere nude volume V. 151 pp. Full light brown calf, spine with four raised bands and red and black morocco labels lettered in gold. Signed and inscribed by Luigi Pirandello "Ad Alessandro Varaldo, fraternamente, Luigi Pirandello." Varaldo was a fellow playwright, novelist and mystery writer: his book Il settebello is considered the first example of Italian detective novel. The tragic satire and savage humor that emerged through the story of a troubled couple disturbed early audiences accustomed to sentimental bourgeois comedy, but the play reveals Pirandello's ability to exaggerate the realms of both apology and farce. Mild foxing to edges, small laceration and short tear to the spine panel. A pleasing presentation copy from the 1934 winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. In the Italian language. ; Octavo; Signed by Author.

St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British.
