Description:
Splendid edition of Mahfouz's masterpiece, Arabian Nights and Days. The American publishing party for the book was in Washington, D.C. and sponsored by the Egyptian Embassy. The Cairo artist Nazli Madkour produced seven mixed-media paintings in glowing colors that provide her interpretation of Nahguib's characters. The Afterword was written by Mohamed Salmawy, editor-in-chief at the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram Hebdo, a close friend of Mahfouz, and husband of Madkour. The thirteen-inch square paintings were scanned and printed using the Giclee process by George Drexel. Michael and Winifred Bixler designed, set type by hand, and printed the text on imported hand-moulded papers. Noted calligrapher Mohamed Zakariya collaborated with the Bixlers to produce a superb bilingual title page. Winifred Bixler bound the book in fine tan linen, with a shelf label imprinted with the English title on the spine of the box, and the title in Aabic imprinted on a matching label on the front cover. The title page is…

Description:
Big Sur: Henry Miller and Bezalel Schatz, 1947. Schatz, Bezalel. A visual riot of a book, printed totally in serigraph in bright colors. The text is derived from Henry Miller's Black Spring, and is presented in Miller's hand. The pages of text are interleaved with vividly colored images by Bezalal Schatz which also creep into some of the pages of text. These images range from small accent pieces to roaring two page spreads. One of 800 copies, although there is some doubt about how many copies have survived the rodents in Miller's basement. Signed by author and artist, cloth bound with serigraph printed on the binding and the vaunted bit of red felt is glued to the front. Book is in fine condition.The slipcase, while sound and visually presentable, may well have been a survivor of the attentions of Miller's gang of mice--there are a few minor stains and a couple of small rubbed spots. The spine of the case bears a small clear tape with the number (313) of this copy.
