Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. The First USA printing published by Boni & Liveright, New York in 1922. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. The first state with the word 'shit' uncancelled on p. 219 and original publisher's tan buckram. Mild offsetting of the wrapper flaps to the blank end papers. Light toning to the text block but the pages remain clean. Frederick Baldwin Adams Jnr.'s bookplate (designed by Rockwell Kent) to the front pastedown (Adams Jnr. had been a former President of the Morgan Library and had served also as President of the 'Association Internationale de Bibliophile', the most prestigious organisation of bibliophiles in the world). The original WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. It is the correct first issue bearing the price of $2 to the spine and the 'Of Vocations' title description on the rear cover is priced at $2. The wrapper is notoriously fragile and brittle and this wrapper has benefitted from some expert professional Japanese tissue repairs to the verso which do not show through to the front. Some loss to the spine ends, corners and a little to the upper edges - see images. The wrapper looks very striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. The book has been signed (without dedication) by the author to the upper front blank end-paper. Kennedy, Cummings' biographer, says less than 2,000 copies of this debut title were published. Very scarce with no records of a copy with such attributes appearing at auction in the last 15years. Cummings' first separately published book and one of the lasting accounts to come out of WW1. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. Signed by Author(s).

Prima edizione
Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. First edition, first state with "shit" present on p. 219. Association copy, signed and inscribed by Cummings to editor Malcolm Cowley on front free endpaper: "To Malcolm Cowley / (qui?) / E. E. Cummings." Publisher's mustard yellow cloth, lettered in black. Very good book with light toning to spine and pages, light rubbing to spine and tail edge of boards and text block, previous owner s bookplate (book collector H. Bradley Martin) to front pastedown. Overall, an attractive copy with an excellent association. The Enormous Room is an autobiographical novel that details E.E. Cummings' time in a French prison during World War I. Serving as an ambulance driver, Cummings and his friend William Slater Brown, named "B" in the book, expressed anti-war sentiments while they were enlisted. Cummings himself proclaimed to have had no ill will towards the Germans they were fighting against. The pair also preferred the company of the French to their American peers; this behavior garnered negative attention and landed the two in prison under suspicion of espionage. The book describes their time imprisoned in an "enormous room" with thirty other people. The title refers to both the physical space Cummings was held captive in and the place in his mind where his memories of the event live. This copy is inscribed by E. E. Cummings to Malcolm Cowley, an important editor and literary critic; both men are strongly associated with the group of World War I-influenced American writers known as the Lost Generation. Cowley attended Harvard with Cummings in the 1910s, and they continued their relationship in Paris during the 1920s, frequenting the same expatriate literary circles. Cowley s documentation of the Lost Generation, Exile s Return: A Narrative of Ideas, has been called "an irreplaceable literary record of the most dramatic period in American literary history." In his lengthy career, Cowley also helped resuscitate the popularity of William Faulkner with The Portable Faulkner, and he championed Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, and John Cheever early in their careers.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine+. First Edition. First Printing, First State (with "Shit!" uncensored on final line of p. 219), of the poet's first novel, an account of his imprisonment in a French military detention center during the First World War. Crown 8vo (199 x 135mm): [2],viii,9-271,[1]pp. Publisher's coarse tan cloth, spine and front cover lettered in black, fore- and bottom edges rough-trimmed. Neat manuscript ex-libris and bookseller's ticket (Old Corner Book Store, Boston) to front fly leaf. Wanting the rare dust jacket. Faint foxing to upper edge of text block, slight discoloration to fore-edge of boards, but a superior example, tightly bound (lightly read, if at all) and clean throughout. Firmage A2a. On T. E. Lawrence's recommendation, the book was reprinted in 1927, and a London edition, with preface by Robert Graves, appeared in 1928. "Loosely modelled around John Bunyan's allegorical narrative The Pilgrim's Progress, Cummings' text presents the story of his arrest, imprisonment and release as a journey towards perception. Through a mixture of reportage, poetic prose, interjections in French and line drawings [in later editions], Cummings creates a series of studies of his captors and fellow inmates, revealing his contempt for cruelty and authority, and his irrepressible delight in the variety of human nature. . . . With its sharp assessment of national prejudices and social superficialities, it does not always make comfortable reading . . . That is why it is a classic." (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B.
