Description:
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1953].. Large octavo. Cloth. Illustrations and pictorial endsheets by the author. Old tape ghosts in corners of free endsheets, otherwise a very good copy in moderately edgeworn pictorial dust jacket with narrow chip at crown of upper spine fold. First edition. In all likelihood the dedication copy, inscribed on the half-title by the author: "For Mag - with all my best - always - R [star]." The printed dedication is "To Margaret Mower Traveler in Spain, whose interest in all that is Spanish marches with my own." Reynolds's friendship with actress Mower stems from his work as stage designer and a photograph of them together from the LC Bains collection is widely disseminated on the web.

Description:
Edinburgh: Printed for R. Fleming, for A. Kincaid ..., 1738.. [6],18pp. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. Early ink name on title, some discoloration at inner margin of the title recto, otherwise very good. Denoted the "Second Edition," but Foxon suggests it might be a press-variant title or reimpression. The long dedication "To Mrs. Cokburne [sic]" is signed in type at the end "C.L." As tempting as it might be to succumb to wishful thinking, by coincidence of the imprint and date, to assign authorship to Charles Leslie, author of A NEW AND EXACT HISTORY OF JAMAICA (Edinburgh: Printed by R. Fleming, for A. Kincaid, and sold by him, and other Booksellers in town, 1739), recent commentary points elsewhere. Foxon credits Charles Schaw Leslie with five titles published in Edinburgh (including in the same year as this title MASONRY: A POEM) after which he is credited with titles published in Dublin and Belfast. Internal evidence in the Dedication suggests the dedicatee may have been the wife…

Some minor spots of red offsetting to lower edge of upper wrapper, otherwise very near fine.

Spine cocked, faded and with several pale spots, top edges of boards faded, top and fore-edges a bit spotted and dust-dimmed; just a good, sound copy.

Description:
[Los Angeles: Universal Pictures], 30 June 1942.. [1],107 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only of salmon colored stock. Bradbound. Pencil name on title leaf ("Milton Feld," a Universal producer at the time), a few annotations in color pencil, very good or better. A first draft of this contribution to the Holmes screen canon. Released in April of 1943, SHERLOCK HOLMES IN WASHINGTON was directed by Roy William Neill, and starred Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. The association of Lynn Riggs, the Oklahoma-born, part-Cherokee gay playwright and poet with this project is very interesting. It is one of at least two of the Universal Holmes titles that Riggs worked on, the other being an (until recently) uncredited revised draft of the screenplay for SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE VOICE OF TERROR (also dated 1942). Riggs is most widely known for his play, GREEN GROW THE LILACS, which was immensely popular as the musical adaptation, OKLAHOMA!, but little has been written about his years as…

Description:
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1926.. Cloth backed pictorial boards. Color frontis, plates and illustrations by the author. Fine and bright in very good pictorial dust jacket with some small chips and edge wear. First edition of the double-gaited author's semi-fictionalized first book, based on his own experiences as a career officer in the Marines as part of the AEF. Upon publication, James Norman Hall called this work "America's first genuine contribution to [WWI] soldier's narratives, ranking with Barbusse's LE FEU and Masefield's GALLIPOLI," and the London TIMES asserted that "No book which we can recall that has for subject the actual fighting man in the Great War, has appeared to us to equal this." "...The best American book on the War, and one of the best books of any nationality on the War" - Falls. Uncommon in this condition. HANNA 3498. FALLS, p.81 (***).
