Description:
London: Neville Spearman, 1956 First UK edition (and first hardcover edition), first printing. Publisher's blue cloth, with spine lettered in black; in its original blue pictorial dust jacket, with black and orange illustration of a lounging Sebastian Dangerfield, lettered in orange. Fine, with just a touch of toning to foot of spine, and a tiny bump to right edge of front board; fine unclipped dust jacket, with a hint of fading to spine. Overall, a pristine copy.

Donleavy's classic debut novel is Sebastian Dangerfield, a young and charismatic man studying law at Dublin University, who lives with his wife and infant in an eerie, ramshackle house on a cliff. The book follows Sebastian on his comic misadventures, as he engages in messy affairs and drinks himself into oblivion. The book is told in a picaresque style, in the vein of Henry Fielding's Tom Jones (1749) and Laurence Stern's Tristram Shandy (1759), with stream-of-conscious prose… Read More

Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1931 First edition, first printing of the author's fourth novel. Bound in the publisher's orange cloth, with a key image stamped in black to the front board, with steel blue and black stamped decorations to the spine. A very good copy with a slight lean to spine, spine ends lightly worn with a touch of fraying to the upper spine, cloth lightly faded, contemporary former owner inscription from 1931 to the front endpaper. Unlike his previous three novels, Hammett's classic crime noir novel The Glass Key does not feature a detective as the main character. However, the novel's protagonist is perhaps Hammett's most hard-boiled; the text features Ned Beaumont, a morally questionable political fixer for the crooked construction magnate Paul Madvig, in a plot that involves a complicated murder case that exposes multiple layers of corruption and betrayal. Said to be one of Hammett's favorites of his own novels, The Glass Key is unusual in that it provides… Read More
