Description:
New York: Stackpole Sons, (1939). First Edition. Hardcover. Spine a bit sunned with three small nicks. Near Fine, lacking the dustwrapper. Fante's much acclaimed first book, made into a movie starring Colin Farrell and Salma Hayek. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front free endpaper: "Inscribed to -------/with the hope that he/enjoys this book/J. Fante/Los Angeles/Nov. 14, 1939." Charles Bukowski, among others, called this the greatest novel about Los Angeles. A scarce book, especially when signed. Fewer than 3000 copies were sold, and there were few promotional events held for it as the publisher at the time was funnelling most of its funds towards fighting a lawsuit over its unauthorized publication of Hitler's MEIN KAMPF.

Description:
(Mansfield Centre): (M. Martino), [2000]. Reprint. As New, still in shrinkwrap. Reprint of the 1948 edition. Cloth; xii, 104 pages. Farquhar has assembled the most complete private library on the mountain regions of the Far West. From this collection he has selected 25 titles of major importance, either in their value as source material or in their rarity, concerning Yosemite, the Big Trees, and the High Sierra. The annotations, many of which are based on original research, go far beyond a mere tabulation of facts, for they bring to light numerous historical vignettes the author has gathered in many years studying and writing about the Sierra.

Basle & Geneva: Galerie Schreiner/Galerie Schreiner-Letu SA, [1975]. First Edition. Hardcover. Some scratches to the covers and rubbing to the front joint. Near Fine. Large folio (18" x 19") in full gilt-decorated and lettered black morocco leather by Zaehnsdorf with gilt dentelles and silk endpapers. Edited by Gerard A. Schreiner. Copy #91 of 99 SIGNED by the artist on the colophon page and at the end of the introduction, dated "75." Illustrated with 20 six-color ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHS, each individually SIGNED and numbered by Feilding. The lithographs are largely erotically-infused fantastic visions. According to Feilding's introduction, "'The dream of reason produces monsters,' said Goya, and indeed, fascination with the bizarre is as old and universal as the history of art itself. My attempt is to convey the waking dream, looking sublimates the desire to participate, and in the realm of the fantastic, it is a good deal safer."
