Description:
Chicago: Schulte, 1891. First published a year earlier, this utopian political novel, was one of the nineteenth-century’s great crackpot books. In Bleiler. Inscribed by the author the year before his death, "Every hour since this book was written has shown that it is prophecy. Ignatius Donnelly. Feb. 22, 1900." A former Congressman and Populist Party founder, Donnelly’s books (Atlantis, The Great Cryptogram) promoted his weird ideas. Hinges weak; very good.

Description:
Garden City: Doubleday, 1951. First Edition. Bound galley proofs, printed on rectos only; bound in plain blue wrappers with the publisher’s label on the front wrapper; minor wear. Measuring approximately 7 x 11 3/4.” In a custom quarter-leather clamshell box. These days, advance copies (sometimes a photocopied typescript) comprise a significant portion of the publicity for a publication, often appearing to outnumber the trade copies issued. However, the expensive format of these proofs only allowed for a small number of copies to be prepared for the most important reviewers or in-house use, such as soliciting and securing further rights. This represents the final, printed novel in its earliest form. While no precise number is known, it is unlikely that more than a handful or two were produced. Basis for the motion picture of the same title, that film, heavily edited and cut as it apparently was, remains powerfully memorable for its script, exceptional performances, and dramatic tension. The…

Description:
Garden City: Doubleday, 1951. First Edition. Basis for the great 1954 film of the same title. A near fine copy in a first issue, generally presumed second state, “City Boy”dust jacket, with minor wear and soiling and some short chips and tears. This is nearly always incorrectly referred to as a second issue. Clearly, those copies of the jacket mentioning the Pulitzer Prize are later, more likely to be later printings rather than later issues (a jacket “issue” would have been supplied on first printings of the book. Possibly? Yes. Likely? No.). However, it appears to this cataloguer that the attribution of “The City Boy” as opposed to “City Boy” on the back panel preceding relies on conjecture and supposition, a belief apparently based on those copies noting the Pulitzer Prize dropping “The.” This conclusion is possible, even logical, but hardly definitive. It is useful to keep in mind that publishers had and have little reason to consider the future concerns of bibliographers.…

Description:
No place of publication: privately printed, n.d. [1934]. First Edition. One of 100 copies printed for Powell’s wedding; spine a little faded; near fine. This cataloguer has never seen a copy that was not inscribed, but this is an especially poignant and meaningful one; presented around 1968 to his older son on the occasion of his own wedding. “Tristram and Virginia with love. This was printed as a wedding present. The musical section is by Constant Lambert. It was composed during a period of insomnia. The printer was much known for never being sober. AP.” Part of the joke was that this satiric poem was so poorly printed by a drunkard that its many errors had to be corrected in ink by the author.
