Description:
1933. SHAKESPEARE, William. Venus and Adonis. 8vo, bound in gilt-stamped three-quarter red morocco. London: The Nonesuch Press, 1933. The entire poem Venus and Adonis extracted from perhaps the most satisfying edition ever printed. T.E. Lawrence describes his admiration in a glowing letter to the publishers: "We turn over to the Nonesuch Shakespeare. There you have created a most marvellus pleasure. I have handled it ever so many times, and read The Tempest right through. It satisfies. It is final, like the Kelmscott Chaucer or the Ashendene Virgil. And it is a book which charms one to read slowly, an art which is almost gone from us in these times. Every word which Shakespeare uses stands out glowing. A really great edition. The tact and grace of your editor have been surpassing. I think I like the size and shape and binding almost as much as the text. The paper, too, is just right. Altogether a triumph. One of the best things is that it can not be done again. Nobody…

1768. PHILIPS JACOBSZ, Caspar. Verzaameling van alle de huizen en prachtige gebouwen langs de Keizers en Heere-Grachten der stadt Amsteldam. Letterpress title-page, 2 pages list of householders, plus 24 double-spread engraved plates. Folio, 420 x 280 mm., bound in later tan half calf over marbled boards. Amsterdam: Bernardus Mourik, (1768). First edition of this rare and very important study of Amsterdam architecture, presenting detailed depictions of 1400 facades of homes and buildings along Amsterdam's major residential and business canals (the Heerengracht and Keizergracht). It is significant that the buildings are reproduced precisely as they appeared in the mid-eighteenth century. As the title indicates, this "Collection of all the houses and beautiful buildings along the Amsterdam canals" features etchings of the house fronts in a "mirrored" fashion. The buildings on the right bank of the "gracht" appear directly across from their respective building on…

Description:
1985. CELMINS, Vija. The View. Poems by Czeslaw Milosz. Unpaginated. Illustrated with four mezzotints by Celmins. Tall 4to., 377 x 280 mm, bound in original publisher's black morocco spine, grey paper over boards in matching slipcase. Uncut. New York: Library Fellows of the Whitney Museum of American Art, 1985. Considered to be one of the most important artist's books published by the Whitney Library Fellows. Celmins, American painter, sculptor, object-maker and draughtsman of Latvian birth, provided four mezzotints to accompany Milosz's poems in this beautifully printed book. Milosz's melodic words are a perfect accompaniment to the tranquil work of Celmins; the combination serves to create an ethereal symphony of words and image. Edition limited to 120 copies. Signed on the colophon by Milosz and Celmins. A fine copy.

Description:
1939. MORGAGNI, Manlio. Viva il Duce! 23 Marzo 1919. 226 ff., photographically illustrated throughout. Folio, 380 x 315 mm., bound in publisher's boards, in a new cloth folding box. Milano: Alfieri & Lacroix, 1939. This splendid fascist photobook is a massive hagiography of Mussolini, redeemed by its imaginative book design, which is in complete contrast to the banality of its subject. Much too heavy for its fragile binding, most copies were either destroyed or have fallen apart. There is some almost inevitable wear to the fragile binding. A rare book with OCLC lists only copies at the NYPL and Navy Dept. in the U.S. Grillo, Il Libro Fotografico Italiano 1931-1941. pp. 207-208.

Fournier Ainé, Furne et Cie, 1838. First Edition with Grandville's illustrations, containing 450 original wood-engraved vignettes which comprise some of his best work. "Swift's text, with its pattern of logical development from impossible premises, fitted Grandville's mind better than any other to which he applied himself... Each of Gulliver's four voyages had its own kind of appeal for the artist, whose compositions remain at a high level throughout" (Ray pp. 271-2).
