Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1975. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A superlative signed First Edition (so stated) of this "epic work," the "greatest satirical novel in American literature." (Literary Encyclopedia) Royal 8vo (236 x 152mm): [6],726,[4]pp. Publisher's black cloth, titled in gilt on spine and in blind on upper board, top edge stained pink, untrimmed fore-edge; illustrated dust jacket priced $15. Signed by Gaddis on half-title. Fine (and unread), very tightly bound and fresh throughout; Fine jacket. Twenty years after publishing his first book, The Recognitions, one of Time magazine's 100 best novels, Gaddis produced this highly acclaimed work, winner of the National Book Award. The first line of the novel presents its theme: "-Money...?". J R tells the story, through conversations, letters, and telephone calls (indeed, the novel's 726 pages contain very little but dialogue), of eleven-year-old J. R. Vansant, who accumulates an enormous fortune from his school's public telephone… Read More

Description:
Stuttgart: K. Thienemanns Verlag, 1928. First Edition. Pictorial Boards. Fine-. First Printing, in German, of this classic, an "incunabula" of rocket literature. Crown 8vo (203 x 142mm): 106,[6]pp, with eight inserted leaves of plates from photographs (of rockets, racing cars, and portraits) on coated stock and further illustrations and diagrams in text by Max Valier. Publisher's line-backed pictorial boards. An excellent example, about Fine, tightly bound and bright and clean throughout. Ciancone 71. Dedicated to Fritz von Opel, sponsor of the renowned Opel-Rocket car inspired by the Austrian rocketry pioneer Max Valier. Valier, who wrote the introduction to this work, was something of a daredevil, and became the first casualty of liquid-fuel rocket development in 1930, when his engine blew up during testing at his workbench. Gail was a respected German science journalist and close friend of Valier, whose science-fiction accounts were filled with realistic descriptions of rocket construction,… Read More

Description:
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1955. First Impression. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First British Edition of this classic account of the perhaps greatest speculative boom in history, setting the stage for the Great Depression. Demy 8vo (212 x 134mm): 186pp, with frontispiece reproduced from The New Yorker Magazine. Publisher's blue cloth, spine stamped in gilt. Neat manuscript ex-libris in red ink to fly leaf of Clive Gimson, house master of Bradfield College, dated November, 1955. An excellent example, tightly bound (top edge dust-soiled) and clean throughout. Yet another example of the value to be found in the graphically superior designs of most UK editions of American authors's works. Originally published the same year, in Boston. The 1929 stock market crash was precipitated by rampant speculation. This, one of Galbraith's first bestsellers, coincided with the 25th anniversary of the crash, when the crash and the Great Depression that followed were still raw memories, and stock prices were only then… Read More

Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction, 46. NYPL Books of the Century, p.145. Galbraith "saw as perilous the modern economy's focus on ever-increasing production.
