Description:
London: Collins, 1956. Original dustjacket artwork for the First British Edition of Calvino's first novel. The novel, told from a child's perspective, paints the trauma of war torn Italy using a variety of impressive characters, namely a young boy and his teenage sister, who are depicted on the jacket. The only artwork we have seen associated with one of Calvino's books, and quite dazzling in comparison to its American counterpart. Gouache on artboard, with the image measuring 9.5 X 12 inches and the board measuring 10.5 X 15 inches; signed by artist Trevor Denning near lower right corner. Brief pencilled notation regarding measurments on the lower margin, with the publisher, author, and translator's names overlaid and mounted to the piece on thick cardstock. The printers' instruction sheet for Collins is handwritten on pink stock, affixed on verso.

New York: McClure, Phillips & Co.,, 1905. Octavo. Original red vertical grain cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, front cover decorated in blind; in the supplied dust jacket. In a red morocco-backed folding case. With Pyle's illustrated bookplate on the front pastedown, and that of collector F. B. Adams, Jr. on the verso of the front free endpaper. Edge of front pastedown scraped, else a fine copy in a very good dust jacket with some chips, tears, and soiling. First edition, first printing, of the author's first prose work; presentation copy, inscribed to the great American illustrator and writer Howard Pyle: "Will Mr. Howard Pyle accept through me the love of seven big and little children to whom he taught the beauty of language and of line, and to whom, in a desert place, he sent the precious message of Romance. Willa Sibert Cather, April 26, 1906." The "seven big and little children" referred to are Cather, her five siblings, and their live-in cousin, as well as the seven short stories in the book; the "desert place" was Nebraska; the "precious message of Romance" was provided by Howard Pyle's illustrated writings, which were favourites of children in Willa Cather's generation. Cather took up the post of managing editor for McClure's Magazine, where several of these short stories had first been published, around the time of this inscription, and where Pyle was art editor from 1905, though he resigned the position the following year, apparently finding the office atmosphere too hectic.

Viking, 1938. First Edition, First Printing. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. A First Edition of this Steinbeck classic in the original dustjacket. With "first published in September 1938" on the copyright page. The book is square and solid with an attractive red topstain on the top edges, bound in cream buckram with burn orange cloth covers. With 303 pages, the book shows overall darkening on the covers, edges and endpapers but the interior is quite clean.

Overall the dustjacket shows wear and darkening with a split between the spine and back panel held together with (what a previous owner claims is) acid-free tape. We have added an archival plastic dustjacket which protects the integrity of the fragile but original dustjacket. Overall an inmportant book in the…
