Goodbye to Berlin

1939 Hogarth Press first edition.
Condition of the book is Very Good Plus. The binding is straight and sound. Inside pages are complete and unmarked. The main condition issues are:
1) Two small spots of discoloration on the spine, visible in the second listing photo, and
2) One small spot of discoloration on the title page, also visible on the title page verso.
Absent these marks, the book would be in Near Fine condition.
Condition of the dust jacket is Very Good Plus. The DJ is complete, not price clipped. It shows light edge wear, and a bit of light soil to the white rear panel. The DJ is protected in a new mylar cover.
The book contains a small label from the Curtis Brown Literary Agency on the front free endpaper (see the last listing photo). The label also bears the name stamp of David Grünbaum, a Copenhagen based literary agent. Curtis Brown represented Isherwood's books in the United Kingdom. I believe Isherwood's agents transmitted this copy of the book to Grünbaum as part of negotiating European publishing rights.

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
