Condizione: Very Good. THIS COLLECTION WEIGHS HALF A TON (UK). PLEASE TALK TO US TO DISCUSS IT & TRANSPORT BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER. See the "Contact Seller" link below. IT IS OFFERED AS A WHOLE AT THE REQUEST OF MAX REINHARDT, ITS COLLECTOR, BECAUSE OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF SO COMPLETE A COLLECTION WITH HIS SPECIAL PROVENANCE OF BEING ITS LAST PUBLISHER. ALSO AS IT CONTAINS THE DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF FRANCIS MEYNELL'S AND HIS DETERMINATION TO PRODUCE BOOKS AT A FINE LEVEL OF THE BOOKMAKER'S ART, AT LOWER COST, YET HIGHER QUALITY OF MATERIALS, TYPOGRAPHY & LEGIBILITY FOR READERS HOLDING THE BOOKS IN THE HAND. A DELIGHT OF 20TH CENTURY BOOKMAKING. PROCEEDS FROM THIS SALE WILL BENEFIT MAXLITERACY, WHICH INSPIRES CREATIVE WRITING IN YOUNG PEOPLE, SET UP IN MEMORY OF MAX AND HIS AUTHORS. NB. Large collections of Nonesuch are too scarce to expect a search. So we have used the Author and Title fields in cryptic form as they have character limits. By cutting duplicated words in names and titles more searches for single books will find this collection, assisting awareness. Eg. instead of "William Beckford, William Blake, William Harvey," we enter "William Beckford Blake Harvey". A complete list of authors and titles is in the photos. The condition of the books is very good (many fine, only a few poor). NONESUCH PRESS COLLECTION. In 1923 Nonesuch was founded by Francis Meynell - its 1st publisher/designer. In 1952 he invited Max Reinhardt to be managing director and publisher. After Meynell's death in 1975, Max continued that role till 1986 when he bought the Press, publishing till 1990 - its last owner/publisher. Already owner of The Bodley Head that he revolutionised, he was an able successor of Meynell's desire to produce fine, readable, books at more affordable prices than most private presses. So, this is the personal collection of Max Reinhardt, begun many years before he joined the Press. By his own death in 2002, it held all titles published for sale in the UK from 1923-1990, the most complete assembled, I believe. Using the catalogue in John Dreyfus's History of the Nonesuch Press, I count 182 books and 26 Prospectuses. Some of the small number of privately published and US titles are present but not complete. We can supply a list identifying items present. The scarcest is the 1953 Coronation Shakespeare (no 119, Dreyfus). A remarkable edition of Shakespeare both for best scholarship and production. Its primary issue was only 1/4 copies bound in limp vellum - one presented to the Queen; one for Francis, whereabouts unknown; two for Max, one of which is here; and one elsewhere. Only Meynell's copy of this tiny issue could have previously appeared for sale. The unlimited trade edition is present here too. The most magisterial is the controversial 1937 Nonesuch Dickens (no 108, Dreyfus), nonetheless considered the finest of Dickens Works produced. With the books are 50 linear cms of at times spirited letters between Reinhardt, Meynell & trade members from 1952-1975 and with Alix, Francis's wife, to 1990 discussing all matters to do with their craft, promotion, production, distribution, sales & legal. The body language of aesthetic choice. Given the international reputation of the Press, it forms an unusually extended and detailed picture of quality book production and publishing in the 2nd half of the 20thC - for this press particularly, as all its earlier records were destroyed at the start of WW2. There are near 700 signed items from Meynell, many more from Reinhardt in copy, many from Brooke Crutchley of Cambridge UP; Vivian Ridler from OUP; some to and from Geoffrey Keynes; Stephen Potter, etc. And with Alix Meynell. There is biographical material on Francis & his publishing life including Pelican Press which he ran with Stanley Morrison; several of his own books and articles, and FM's annotated typescript of his autobiography, My Lives, addressed to Max, who published it.…

British publisher John Lane had previously, with partner Charles Elkins, been publisher of works designed by Charles S.

Otto Fischer and Hans Von Hayek are mentioned in a Vienna exhibition. **PROVENANCE: From the Private Library of original owner, HIRAM HOOKER BICKFORD, A.I.A. ( 1864-1929), a Barre, Vermont born son of a carpenter and house builder, who began his architectural career in central Massachusetts as trainee draughtsman at the Fitchburg Offices of Henry M. Francis. In 1887, he relocated to the Elmira, New York area, joining Architects Pierce and Dockstader, becoming a partner in 1891. Bickford and partner Joseph H. Pierce, went on to some fame: "For a period of at least three decades, 1890-1920, Joseph H. Pierce and Hiram H. Bickford were the foremost architects of the central-southern tier of New York State. In Elmira, a city with a half dozen firms, no others matched Pierce & Bickford's facility in handling the most up-to-date stylistic fashions. Their professional supremacy extended east to Cortland, north to Geneva and west to Allegany County. They were also a major influence in northern Pennsylvania and received large commissions throughout the rest of New York and in New Jersey." (Architects of Standing, Pierce and Bickford, Elmira, N.Y. 1890-1932 by Roger G. Reed) Bickford was elected President of the Central New York Chapter of the A.I.A. from 1918-1920. His notable works include stone stairs and walls at Watkins Glen, The Arnot Art Gallery, Corning Glass Works, Cortland County and Arnot-Ogden Hospitals, Elmira College Library, YMCA and Masonic Temple, as well as the Elmira Free Academy.
