First US edition, one of 25 copies bound for presentation using proof sheets, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper three weeks prior to publication, "For Ben Meyer, from his friend Ernest Hemingway. Havana, 21/8/50". The recipient was Benjamin Franklin Meyer (d. 1998), a journalist and Latin America correspondent for the Associated Press. Meyer interviewed Hemingway on 21 August 1950 as part of Hemingway's promotion of this title. The resultant article, which discussed the effort that went into writing the work as well as Ernest and Mary Hemingway's fishing exploits, was published across the US on 10 September. Meyer worked as the Associated Press executive representative for Havana between 1941 and 1943 and again between 1948 and 1954, and he built up a relationship with both Hemingways. Included with the book is a typed letter signed by Mary to Meyer, dated 27 April 1958, thanking him for his help in connecting her with one "Mr. Hallgarten" who sent her photos of her hometown of Bemidji, Minnesota. She comments that, "for years I've been resigned to the conclusion that all projects of casual conversation, especially at cocktail parties, come to zero", adding that Meyer following through on a promise made at one such party was "a rare performance". This was Hemingway's first novel in ten years, following For Whom the Bell Tolls in 1940. It was inspired by his stay in Venice in 1948, where he fell in love with the then 19-year-old Adriana Ivancich. The story was originally serialized in Cosmopolitan from February to June of 1950. Upon publication, it was positively reviewed by Tennessee Williams in the New York Times: "I could not go to Venice, now, without hearing the haunted cadences of Hemingway's new novel. It is the saddest novel in the world about the saddest city, and when I say I think it is the best and most honest work that Hemingway has done, you may think me crazy. It will probably be a popular book. The critics may treat it pretty roughly. But its hauntingly tired cadences are the direct speech of a man's heart who is speaking that directly for the first time, and that makes it, for me, the finest thing Hemingway has done" ("Writer's Quest"). Copies in the presentation binding have Scribner's "A" on the copyright page and several typographic errors corrected for the trade edition, notably on page 21, line 26: "Papadopohi", was later changed to "Papadopli". The UK edition was released three days earlier. Grissom A22.1.a(d); Hanneman 23a. Tennessee Williams, "A Writer's Quest For a Parnassus", New York Times, 13 August 1950. Octavo.

Condizione: Very good. Inscribed association copy of the first edition of Stein's second - and rarest - book, presented by Stein to fellow Modernist Alvin Langdon Coburn. One of Stein's earliest writing experiments was her prose "portraits," attempting to capture the essence of her sitters just as her painter friends, like Picasso, did. Her portrait of Mabel Dodge (later Luhan) was a major step in building her style towards a cubistic mode of writing, adapting the epiphanies of visual Modernism to the written word. As Stein once said of this portrait, "Well, Pablo is doing abstract paintings in painting. I am trying to abstract portraits in my medium, words" (quoted in Rudnick, 47.) The occasion of the portrait and its private printing began with Stein and Toklas's visit to Dodge's Villa Curonia near Florence. Dodge was an American heiress, bisexual, and patron of the arts who led a bold, forward-thinking, somewhat unhinged life (which was also the basis for Rachel Cusk's novel SECOND PLACE). The year of this book's publication, she returned to the US and formed a Greenwich Village salon that made her "the Magna Mater of twentieth-century America's first rebel generation" (quoted in Jenkins); from there she would help mount the landmark 1913 Armory Show that introduced a baffled American public to major Modernist artists like Picasso, Duchamp, Kandinsky, Brancusi, Matisse and more. Beginning in the 1920s, her patronage of artists in Taos (most famously/infamously D.H Lawrence, as well as Willa Cather, Jean Toomer, and Georgia O'Keeffe) was instrumental in building the Taos art colony. Dodge paid for the publication of this book and personally took on its publicity, such as it was, distributing copies across her connections in the avant-garde world of New York City, thus "introducing Stein's post-impressionist prose to an American readership" (Jenkins). Thanks to Dodge, Stein's work found early admirers like Mina Loy and Carl Van Vechten. This copy is inscribed to photographer Alvin Langdon Coburn, whose innovative style led to American pictorialism and who began, in the 1910s, to experiment with abstract photography. Coburn was one of the photographers regularly featured in Stieglitz's groundbreaking photographic journal CAMERA WORK - which would publish two of Stein's other portraits (of Matisse and Picasso) the same year as this work, itself was reprinted in CAMERA WORK the next year. In his autobiography, Coburn described meeting Stein in Paris while working on a series of photographs of prominent women: "I think [she] has something to tell us which the world will come to appreciate, which many are now beginning to recognize, and which many in the future will value" (90). The result was the 1913 portrait that became one of the best known images of her, in her long corduroy gown. In THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ALICE B. TOKLAS, Toklas records that Coburn was "the first photographer to come and photograph her as a celebrity and she was nicely gratified." Given that the PORTRAIT OF MABEL DODGE had only just been published, it is possible this copy was gifted to Coburn on the occasion. Coburn said of Stein on this visit (perhaps after reading this work): "To find a new mode of expression in any form of art is an achievement and a triumph, and Gertrude Stein delighted in these fresh and spontaneous modes of approach" (90). One of only 300 copies, issued in Florentine wallpaper wrappers, this copy crystallizing a significant moment in Stein's career and a cross-pollination of avant-garde artists. 7.5'' x 5.5''. Original floral Florentine wallpaper wrappers with printed paper spine label. With printer's imprint at foot of page [12]; according to Wilson, "most copies lack the imprint." 12 pages. Inscribed by Stein to verso of front wrapper: "To Alvin Langdon Coburn / With appreciation / from Gertrude Stein." Mild toning to extremities. A few spots of soil to wrappers. Small clean split at lower edge of spine fold, still firm.

First issue. Signed first edition of one of Dahl's best children's books: characteristically bizarre, wicked, and heart-warming. When Dahl published his first book for children with Disney, GREMLINS (1943), he believed it was a happy one-off and focused instead on developing his career as a writer for adults. Nearly two decades later, Dahl published JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH as his second children's book, finally moving into the field where his writing would develop into a powerful legacy. The darkness of Dahl's worlds for children have often been objected to by adults - this book regularly features on lists of banned or challenged books in American libraries - but for many children, it is the spark of fantasy within bleak settings that appeals to the imagination without becoming saccharine: Tim Burton famously told Dahl's widow he wanted to turn JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH into a film because "it's the only book that ever gave me any hope when I was a child" (D IS FOR DAHL). Increasingly scarce signed by Dahl. 10'' x 6.75''. Original full blind-stamped red cloth, gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($3.95) pictorial dust jacket. Green endpapers, yellow topstain. Illustrated by Burkert throughout in full color, red and black, and black and white. Wolff credited as binder in 5-line colophon. [8], 119, [1] pages. Signed by Dahl in blue ink on front endpaper. Book a trifle dusty. Jacket with light edgewear, a few short closed tears, slightly faded spine. Bright. Near fine in very good plus jacket.

First edition, first printing, number 662 of 1,000 copies signed and numbered by Basquiat. This catalogue was issued to accompany an exhibition of Basquiat's paintings at the Gallery Bruno Bischofberger in Zurich, Switzerland from 19 January to 16 February 1985. One of Basquiat's most enthusiastic promoters, Bischofberger introduced him to Warhol in 1982. "Typical of the new scene was the Zurich-based dealer and collector Bruno Bischofberger, who dealt Andy Warhol's work and who briefly took on the exclusive rights for Jean-Michel Basquiat. Once a month he flew Concorde to New York, where he went on whirlwind shopping sprees, buying art in previously unprecedented volumes from galleries and studios" (Emmerling, p. 9). Leonhard Emmerling, Jean-Michel Basquiat, 2003. Quarto. Original red cloth, lettering to spine in grey. With dust jacket. Black and white portrait frontispiece of Jean-Michel Basquiat taken by Jeannette Montgomery and 12 full-page illustrations of Basquiat paintings, including a fold-out triptych. Foxing to preliminary leaves and endpapers; jacket unclipped: a very good copy in near-fine jacket.

A selection of monologues from "junkies, prostitutes, male hustlers, truck drivers, hobos, young outlaws, runaway kids, criminal types, and perpetual drifters" (DIARIES) the artist began gathering as early as 1974 during his travels hitchhiking and train-hopping across America, SOUNDS IN THE DISTANCE marks this influential multimedia artist and AIDS activist's first book. Issued in an edition of 500 copies, according to our colleagues at Granary Books, "Jim Pennington, printer and editor at [publisher] Aloes, reports that Bookslinger, their sole American distributor, may well have pulped their considerable stock when they went out of business circa 1984." A scarce book (OCLC notes just 7 scattered copies in the US), it is quite rare signed. The brief autograph note from Wojnarowicz loosely laid into this copy explains: "The guy in the cover photo was sleeping near Beaubourg Museum in Paris. One of the local drunks." An excellent example of this important debut. 8.25'' x 5.75''. Original saddle-stapled black-and-white pictorial wraps, featuring a photograph by Wojnarowicz. With a rear cover blurb by William S.

First edition. First edition. Folding frontispiece plate. [10],135pp. Signed by publisher on verso of the half-title. 8vo. Primary History of the French Colony in Texas. This is the primary source book for the history of the ill-fated effort of a group of Napoleonic veterans to establish a colony in Texas. The French group, under Gen. C.F.A. Lallemand, landed at Galveston in January 1818 and attempted to establish a colony on the Trinity River. The effort failed that summer, and the remaining starving colonists retreated to New Orleans. Despite its short life, the colony was the center of an important episode in the maneuvering between Spain, the United States, and the not yet independent state of Mexico, for control of Texas. The French settlers dreamed of establishing a new Napoleonic empire in the New World, and with more support they might have succeeded. This is one of four contemporary French books on the Champ d'Asile colony, and Streeter calls it "an indispensable source and by far the best of the group." It consists of the diaries of Hartmann and Millard, a list of colonists, and Lallemand's proclamation, as well as a folding plate showing the layout of the colony. A rare and important piece of early Texana.

First edition of Steinbeck's only political satire. unrevised proof copy, signed presentation inscription from the author "Dear Elsie Clough: This book was ghost written in the truest sense of the world. An imp crept down my arm and played in the ink. Don't turn me in please Yours John Steinbeck." on front inner wrapper, 2 autograph corrections to the labels including the publication date corrected from March to April, and the price corrected from $2.95 to $3.00, original spiral-bound wrappers, some snapped, edges toned and creased, a little marked, tall 8vo, [1957]. A true unrevised copy (the title character's name is spelled "Peppen" on p.1.) Elsie Clough ran The Book Shop in Providence, Rhode Island from 1922 to 1963 (her last day of business was November 22). SteinbeckÂmay have been rewarding Clough and other booksellers for years of supporting his work: another copy of the unrevised proof of Pippen is inscribed to Cleveland booksellers Bob and Anne Levine, with a similar message mentioning imps. Included with the lot is an essay by Elsie Clough looking back on her career, published in the 1964 issue of Yankee Magazine. Provenance: The MaryÂSteinbeckÂDekker Family Collection. Pippin IV explores the life of Pippin HÃ ristal, an amateur astronomer in 1950s France, who is suddenly proclaimed the King of France. Unknowingly appointed to give the Communists a monarchy to revolt against, Pippin is chosen because he was descended from the famous king Charlemagne. Unhappy with his lack of privacy, alteration of family life, uncomfortable housings at the Palace of Versailles and his lack of power as a constitutional monarch, the protagonist spends a portion of the novel dressing up as a commoner, often riding a motorscooter, to avoid the constrained life of a king. Pippin eventually receives his wish of dethronement after the people of France enact the rebellion Pippin's kingship was destined to receive. He returns to his home in Paris to find that nothing has really changed.

Typed letter signed by Agatha Christie to 'Mr. and Mrs. Holden' in answer to the question of how many books she has written. One page on Christie's Winterbrook House letterhead, duodecimo, the typed letter reads, '2nd May, 1969 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Holden, In answer to your question, how many books have I written, the answer is between 60-100, but I cannot tell you exactly because books of short stories differ here and in American publications. I suggest that you get Agatha Christie Mistress of Mystery by G.C. Ramsey published in America by Dodd Mead & Co of New York, and in England by Collins, which gives a complete list of short stories, dramatic productions and such. I will try and send you a paper-back copy autographed if I can find one in the house. Yours sincerely,' "Agatha Christie." In fine condition. Agatha Christie was an English writer and known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, particularly those revolving around her fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Christie also wrote the world's longest-running play, a murder mystery, The Mousetrap, and six romances under the name Mary Westmacott. In 1971 she was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) for her contribution to literature. She was initially an unsuccessful writer with six rejections, but this changed when The Mysterious Affair at Styles, featuring Hercule Poirot, was published in 1920. During the Second World War she worked as a pharmacy assistant at University College Hospital, London, during the Blitz and acquired a good knowledge of poisons which featured in many of her subsequent novels. Guinness World Records lists Christie as the best-selling novelist of all time. Her novels have sold roughly 2 billion copies, and her estate claims that her works come third in the rankings of the world's most-widely published books, behind only Shakespeare's works and the Bible. According to Index Translationum, she remains the most-translated individual author â " having been translated into at least 103 languages. And Then There Were None is Christie's best-selling novel, with 100 million sales to date, making it the world's best-selling mystery ever, and one of the best-selling books of all time.

Condizione: Very good. Stunning issue of the first African literary periodical in English - this copy signed by Nobel laureate Soyinka, periodic editor of individual BLACK ORPHEUS issues since 1959 and executive committee member alongside Chinua Achebe, Leopold Senghor, Alex La Guma, et al. This Nigeria-based little magazine forged a global readership for anglophone African writing. BLACK ORPHEUS was founded in 1957 by Ulli Beier, a German-Jewish lecturer at Ibadan University, with a strong editorial board that would include some of the most influential modern African writers, such as Aimé Césaire, Chinua Achebe, and Leopold Senghor. Among the editors of individual issues were Es'kia Mphahlele, Abiola Irele, and Wole Soyinka. This issue of BLACK ORPHEUS was co-edited by Ezekiel (later Es'kia) Mphahlele, the South African writer then living in exile who was one of the founders (alongside Beier and Soyinka) of the Mbari Club, the great cultural center for modern African writing with which BLACK ORPHEUS was also connected. Beier and his colleagues read widely in traditional Yoruba folklore, as well as in the modern francophone literature of Négritude. BLACK ORPHEUS reflected both influences, and expanded them. Before the magazine's publication, "it was not widely considered that anglophone black Africa had any modern art or literature" (Benson). Its appearance made an immediate impact, and its vibrant screen-printed covers isolated details of traditional African art forms to produce an immediately recognizable, strikingly modern aesthetic; while the series look was initially designed by Suzanne Wenger, this issue's cover was produced by Nigerian artist Jacob Afolabi. BLACK ORPHEUS was a central vehicle for publishing and supporting new African writers; more than half of its material in the early years was written expressly for publication in its pages. Beier argued that "the function of periodicals in nurturing the new literatures in Africa. cannot be overstated. Often they stand at the very beginning of the development of local literature, setting up standards and providing a literary market for buyer and seller - the indigenous reading public and its artist." The book review section that closed each number of BLACK ORPHEUS provided an opportunity for writers to critique a diasporic literature increasingly engaged with the experience and idea of Blackness. In this issue, Una Maclean opens an extensive review of Soyinka's plays with a summary of his appearance at the 1964 Edinburgh Festival, in which Soyinka "regretted the European tendency to expect, from all African dramatists, either a reiteration of the theme of racial conflict or a sense of political and social commitment." Few signatures would be more desirable on an issue of BLACK ORPHEUS than Soyinka's. A fantastic copy. 9.75'' x 7.25''. Original color pictorial wrappers with design by Jacob Afolabi.

Echtfoto. Von grösster Seltenheit! Original Kabinettfoto (G- Welti Lausanne) 6,4x10,5cm von Meta von Salis umseitig mit violetter Tinte voll signiert mit eigenhändiger brieflicher Mitteilung "Liebes Emily ich erlaube mit dir eine von meinen Photographien zu geben. Ich hoffe, daß du wenn du die Photographie sehest an unsern schönen Aufenthalt im [.] u[nd] an mich denkest. Meta v. Salis". Darunter Antwort von fremder Hand: "Erlaube dir, Meta, künftig nicht mehr solche falschen Ausdrücke, was sollen die Engländer von dir denken! Anna Lips (?) /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Barbara Margaretha von Salis-Marschlins (* 1. März 1855 auf Schloss Marschlins in Igis; 29. März 1929 in Basel), besser bekannt als Meta von Salis, war die erste Historikerin der Schweiz, die erste Schweizerin, die an der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Zürich promoviert wurde, eine der bekanntesten Frauenrechtlerinnen und eine Kämpferin für das Frauenstimmrecht in der Schweiz. Daneben war sie eine passionierte Philosophin und Brieffreundin von Friedrich Nietzsche sowie seiner Schwester Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. Barbara Margaretha Meta" von Salis-Marschlins entstammte der alten Bündner Adelsfamilie der von Salis und wuchs im elterlichen Schloss Marschlins auf. Gemäss dem konservativen Erziehungsideal ihres Vaters besuchte sie typische Mädchenpensionate. Nach ihrer Ausbildung in den von ihr so genannten Hausfrauen-Züchtungsanstalten bildete sie sich autodidaktisch weiter und beschloss als junge Frau, Erzieherin zu werden, damals eine der wenigen Erwerbsmöglichkeiten für Frauen aus der Oberschicht. Ab 1883 studierte sie als erste Frau in der Schweiz an der Universität Zürich Geschichte, Philosophie und Kunstgeschichte sowie Jurisprudenz. 1887 wurde sie mit einer Dissertation über Agnes von Poitou von der Philosophischen Fakultät promoviert und damit die erste «Frau Doktor» des Kantons Graubünden.[1] Im selben Jahr wurde Emilie Kempin-Spyri auch von der Juristischen Fakultät promoviert.[2] Danach arbeitete von Salis als freie Journalistin und Publizistin. Meta von Salis 1899 Als Frauenrechtlerin auf sich aufmerksam machte sie zuerst 1886 mit dem lyrischen Pamphlet Die Zukunft der Frau. Mehr Beachtung fand ein Artikel in der liberalen Tageszeitung Züricher Post vom 1. Januar 1887: unter dem Titel Ketzerische Neujahrsgedanken einer Frau forderte sie dort, zum ersten Mal in der deutschsprachigen Schweiz, das politische Stimm- und Wahlrecht auch für Frauen. Bekannt machte sie ausserdem ihre Tätigkeit als Vortragsrednerin, unter anderem eine Vortragsreihe des Jahres 1894 mit dem Titel Frauenstimmrecht und die Wahl der Frau. Im Vortrag findet sich folgende Aussage: «Solange der Mann die Gleichberechtigung der Frau im Staate nicht anerkennt, ihre Mündigkeit nicht eine Tatsache ist, bleibt sie allen Zufällen des Schicksals preisgegeben. Entweder gleiche Gesetze, gleiche Rechte, gleiche Pflichten und Strafen, unparteiische Richter, oder der moralische und physische Niedergang der Menschheit nimmt unerbittlich seinen Fortgang!»[3] von Salis mit ihrem Lieblingshund «Bruce» beim Eingang zu den «Oberen Gärten» von Schloss Marschlins Neben der politischen Gleichberechtigung forderte Meta von Salis insbesondere die rechtliche Gleichstellung der Frau. Sie kritisierte die Tatsache, dass die Frau im schweizerischen Recht nicht als mündige Person anerkannt wurde, jedoch trotzdem wie eine solche vor Gericht verurteilt werden konnte. Auch literarisch setzte sie sich in Gedichten und Romanen mit der Benachteiligung von Frauen auseinander, etwa in den Romanen Die Schutzengel (1889) und Furchtlos und treu (1891). Grosse Aufmerksamkeit erregte ihr publizistischer Einsatz für die Zürcher Ärztin und Frauenrechtlerin Caroline Farner, die 1892 wegen angeblicher Unterschlagung sieben Wochen in Untersuchungshaft verbrachte und währenddessen einer öffentlichen Rufmordkampagne ausgesetzt war.[4] Die juristische Rehabilitierung vermochte sie zwar zu erkämpfen (Farner wurde 1893 freigesprochen), wurde aber im Anschluss daran selbst vom unterlegenen Richter in einen Ehrverletzungsprozess verwickelt und 1894 zu einer wenn auch eher symbolischen Gefängnisstrafe verurteilt. Das Grab von Meta von Salis und ihrer Schwester Paula (1852 1915) auf dem Friedhof Daleu in Chur. Nach diesem Rückschlag zog sie sich stärker ins Privatleben zurück. 1904 wanderte sie zusammen mit ihrer Lebenspartnerin Hedwig Kym nach Capri aus und lebte auch nach deren Heirat mit Ernst Feigenwinter im Jahr 1910 bis zu ihrem Tod in Basel mit ihr im selben Haushalt zusammen. Hedwig Kyms Eheschliessung, die für alle Bekannten überraschend kam, hatte Meta von Salis sehr irritiert. Vor ihrer Beziehung zu Hedwig Kym (1860 1949) unterhielt Meta von Salis jahrelang eine Liebesbeziehung zu Theophanie Schücking (1850 1903), die abrupt endete, weil diese von ihrem Vater Levin Schücking für dessen eigene Pläne beansprucht wurde, wogegen sich die Tochter vergeblich aufzulehnen versucht hatte.[5] Meta von Salis hatte Friedrich Nietzsche 1884 persönlich kennengelernt und zeigte sich nach dessen geistigem Tod als grosszügige Gönnerin des Nietzsche-Archivs. So kaufte sie 1897 für ihre Freundin Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche die «Villa Silberblick» in Weimar, die als Sitz des Archivs diente. Nach eigenmächtigen Umbaumassnahmen Förster-Nietzsches am Gebäude zerstritten sich die beiden Frauen aber, und von Salis verkaufte das Haus an den Nietzsche-Verwandten Adalbert Oehler, von dem es Förster-Nietzsche später selbst erwerben konnte. Als Bewunderin Nietzsches veröffentlichte Meta von Salis 1897 zudem das erfolgreiche Buch Philosophie und Edelmensch über ihre Begegnungen mit dem Philosophen. Meta von Salis war eine ausgeprägte Individualistin; der zeitgenössischen Frauenbewegung misstraute sie eher. Ausser im Fall der Frauenrechte vertrat sie in allen übrigen sozialpolitischen Fragen dezidiert konservative und aristokratische Ansichten. Sie publizierte in den 1920er Jahren regelmässig in.
