Description:
Boston: J.T. Buckingham, 1835. First Edition. Wrappers. Near fine. 23 vols. 1st appearances in original wrappers of 12 Hawthorne stories in The New-England Magazine, featuring tales from the allegorical (Young Goodman Brown) to a precursor to the detective story (Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe). 2 complete years missing only the Jan. 1835 issue (The Gray Champion).  Despite light wear and a few minor repairs, in near fine condition (extraordinary). 2 half morocco cases. These are the 1st printings of the stories that brought Hawthorne his first fame, and a run of this length in original wrappers is unheard of, and even single individual issues from 1834 and 1835 are rare. Ex-Rufus Choate (ownership inscriptions to an 1835 issue). Robert H. Hay (bookplates). Ref: Clark D9, D10, D12-D25. Contains the following: Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe (as an interior part of The Story-Teller # 1 & 2) Old News Nos. 1-3 My Visit to Niagara Young Goodman Brown Wakefield The Ambitious Guest Graves and Goblins A… Read More

Description:
New York: Doran, 1920. First Edition. Hardcover. fine/very good. 1st American edition of her 2nd novel. Cloth with little corner rubs (light as a cat's footfall), else fine, in an unrepaired dustjacket with the shadow of a handwritten number on the spine, corner chips, and edge tears, else very good. Here is 37-year old Woolf, shrewd as an insurance adjuster, trying her hand at contrasts by portraying 4 young people who idealize different kinds of independence and yet, as is conventional with young people, insist on each other's support and fail to see any irony in that. Duckworth's 1919 London 1st edition of Night and Day is aggravatingly rare in a dustjacket, and one as nice as our NY edition, would be 10 times our price, and if you can find one, and if you can afford it, buy that. This 1st American edition in jacket is less rare, but RBH says only one copy has sold at auction since 1975 (34 years ago), and were it thought to be fairly valued at, say, $5,000, every copy that showed up in the… Read More

Description:
New York: Rinehart, 1946. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/very good. 1st edition. Endpapers foxed, one small and faint smudge, else fine in a very good dustjacket marred only by a 3/8" chip to the spine's upper corner and light wear to its base. Seldom seen in a jacket this nice, but the chip stifles our price ambitions, or maybe $2,000 is already too ambitious. You will let us know. An acclaimed model for postmodern noir, but if you like books with happy endings, don't bother. 2 films (1947 and 2021) were also good but also not cheery. It is set at the lowest level of shady carnival life with the corrupt hustlers and schemers that are its seedy inhabitants, their crimes, cons, torments, treacheries, exploitations, deceits, and betrayals, driving a downward spiraling plotline with a more hopeless ending than an eternity spent feeling around in a dark cave for a black flashlight that isn't there.

Description:
1975. First Edition. Wrappers. Very good. Playscript. 56; 53 photo-mechanically duplicated leaves printed rectos only (each act paginated separately). Brad-bound into unprinted blue card covers. Signed, presentation copy, inscribed by Pinter to fellow playwright, poet, and 1960s English gadabout Heathcote Williams: "To Heathcote from Harold." The presentation continues to a laid in ALs from Pinter on his 7 Hanover Terrace stationary: "Oct 7. / Dear Heathcote / How are you? / I'm very sorry I've / never written to / you about your / last piece. I found / it difficult to / write & still do. // However, I send / you this. / How are you? / Love / Harold [.]" Also laid in is a photocopy of a "letter to the editor" by D.A. Cairns (apparently sent along by Pinter to Williams), claiming that all the character names in the play are based on famous English cricketers. Small tear on front wrap and first leaf, some smudging and stains on wrappers and last few leaves, else very good.
