Description:
London: Ed. J. Burrow & Co., Ltd, 1938. First edition. Preface by Lord Olivier, Governor of Jamaica, 1907-13. INSCRIBED BY TIMPSON on front endpaper, "Inscribed for Mrs. Grace Jacobs by George F. Timpson/ Third May 1946." Illustrated with full-plate black-and-white prints and photographs. "Jamaica, the oldest and most beautiful of our tropical colonies, was the great stronghold of British slavery; on her shores Christianity and the slave system met in mortal combat. The stirring story of Jamaican emancipation is told in this volume, which closes with a description of the Island today." -- from the dust jacket flap. Would appear to be a self-congratulatory story of the British enslaving the Black residents of this island nation and then stepping it back to mere colonization and exploitation. Bright and fine with spot of rubbing to tips. In very good dust jacket showing only a few small chips and tears, and with folds internally repaired/reinforced with archival tape.

Description:
Auburn, CA: Blue Oak Press, (1975). First edition, limited issue. Number 81 of an unstated number of copies SIGNED BY HOTCHKISS on title page. Analysis of Robinson Jeffers' poetry by Hotchkiss, a poet, novelist and the founder of Blue Oak Press. Includes prefatory note by Donnan Jeffers, foreword by A. R. Kitzhaber, and introductory "Letter from William Everson." Chronology, notes, and a bibliography of sorts follow text. 8vo gilt-stamped brown imitation leather boards; illustrated with a frontispiece drawing of Jeffers and black-and-white photographs of various scenes throughout (uncredited); 254 pp. Fine in crisp, fine dust jacket. Publisher's prospectus laid in stating "the first edition will be limited to a thousand copies, with each copy being signed by the author," which seems unlikely given the dearth of copies online or in libraries (OCLC records under 100). Unaccountably scarce.
