        THE DAIN CURSE (Presentation Copy of the First Edition)

      New York: Knopf, 1929. Hammett, Dashiell. THE DAIN CURSE. New York: Knopf, 1929. FIRST EDITION of the author&#39;s second book. 8vo. A VERY GOOD copy (very slightly finger-soiled on the outer hinges and back cover but generally unworn) in an eye-appealing NEAR FINE original priced ($2.00) dust jacket (expertly restored by a master conservator). Superb PRESENTATION COPY inscribed by the author (ten days prior to publication) on the front flyleaf: To Raoul and Prudence Whitfield, this thing of no/doubtful/great importance. Dashiell Hammett. July 9, 1929." The words "No," "doubtful," and "great" are bracketed so the recipients can "choose" their adjective. An association copy of spectacular desirability. Raoul Whitfield was a fellow BLACK MASK pulp mystery author (300 published short stories and two novels) whom Hammett routinely met at bars in New York and San Francisco to discuss stories and career moves; his wife Prudence (who used to sit at these bars drinking while the men talked) became Hammett&#39;s lover (see Selected Letters of Dashiell Hammett 1921-1960 ed. Richard Layman, Counterpoint Press, 2001). Pru Whitfield had a tempestuous relationship with Hammett for an unknown number of years which later evolved into a lifelong friendship -- while Hammett was in the army, he wrote over 75 letters to her which confirms their closeness (these letters sold at Sotheby&#39;s in 1980).. Signed by Author. First Edition. Very Good/Near Fine.

        THE WORKS

      London: The Nonesuch Press, 1929. No. 1,195 OF 1,600 COPIES. Hardcover. 243 x 162 mm (9 9/16 x 6 3/8"). Seven volumes. Edited by Herbert Farjeon. No. 1,195 OF 1,600 COPIES. Original publisher&#39;s russet Niger morocco by A. W. Bain, simple gilt double ruled border on covers, raised bands, gilt titling on spine, top edge gilded on the rough, other edges untrimmed. Dreyfus 58; "A Century for the Century " 33. Two boards with short, faint scratch, a little variation in the colors of the spines, as usual (volume II lighter, the others pretty well matched), a hint of offsetting to endleaves and blanks from binder&#39;s glue, but AN UNUSUALLY FINE COPY, with only the most trivial imperfections, the bindings entirely unworn and lustrous. This is a particularly appealing set of one of the best editions of Shakespeare ever printed, perhaps the very best modern edition. Taken from the text of the First Folio, but "with Quarto variants and a selection of modern readings," the Nonesuch Shakespeare is also the most outstanding production of the press. Ransom calls it "editorially and typographically . . . the high spot of the Nonesuch program." Besides the authentic plays and poetry of Shakespeare, the set includes (in the final volume) three plays on which Shakespeare is believed to have collaborated: "The Two Noble Kinsmen," "King Edward the Third," and "Sir Thomas More." Their inclusion was motivated by the publishers&#39; desire to be thorough, to do something a bit different, and to make the seventh volume of the same bulk as the previous ones. The Nonesuch Press was founded in 1923 by typographer and book designer Francis Meynell (1891-1975) with the help of his friend David Garnett and his future wife, Vera Mendel. Meynell designed his books on a small Albion hand press, but had them printed commercially in order to keep the price of well-designed books made of quality materials within the means of readers and collectors who could not afford most private press editions. The leather used for this edition is often naturally spotted or becomes that way over time, and the spines darken differently in response to light, making it very difficult now to find attractive copies. Happily, our unworn set is without the unpleasant blemishes and has close to uniform color.

        The Works of Shakespeare

      London,: Nonesuch Press, 1929.. Seven volumes, octavo, top-edges gilded 'on the rough' and others uncut; publisher's full tan niger morocco by A.W. Bain, with raised bands and gilt spine lettering; the front board of one volume a little marked, otherwise a very fine set. A splendid set, a benchmark for modern editions of Shakespeare and the 'chef d'oeuvre' for the famous Nonesuch Press.Edited by Herbert Farjeon, this set offers a fine combination of scholarly collation of the quarto variants against the first folio, with a beautiful physical design of both typography and binding. The overall design was by Francis Meynell; the text was printed at the Cambridge University Press, in Monotype Fournier with freshly-cut initials specifically made for this edition, and the bindings were prepared by A.W. Bain in London. The set was limited to 1600 copies."You have created a most marvellous pleasure", T.E. Lawrence wrote to his friend David Garnett. "I have handled it ever so many times, and read The Tempest right through. It satisfies. It is final, like the Kelmscott Chaucer or the Ashendene Virgil."This would appear to be an early set: rather than being numbered, it is embossed with the Nonesuch stamp 'This Book is Out of Series - For Review'.

        DAS ZAUBERBOOT

      1929. 1. FREUD,TOM SEIDMANN. DAS ZAUBERBOOT. Berlin: Herbert Stuffer 1929. 4to (8 1/8 x 9 1/2"), cloth backed pictorial boards, covers slightly dusty else fine and complete. First edition of this rare MOVEABLE BOOK done by the niece of Sigmund Freud. Her moveable books were immediately hailed for their innovations, but because of her Jewish heritage, most copies of her books were destroyed and very few remain intact today. In this book, there are a variety of moveable pages including a revolving wheel and a Punch and Judy theatre. There is also a grid with cut-outs that enables the reader to develop 4 different stories from one page, and a clever tale that lets the reader make part of the illustrations disappear using special red paper. Hurlimann (p. 216-17) mentions these innovative books, remarkable not only for their moveable parts but for their integration of suitable text with artistic achievement.

The first volume was published in 1929 when the press had already been in business for seven years and when its finances and that of its owner were at best perilous. The edition was financed by Random House and it&#39;s for that reason that their imprint appears under the Nonesuch imprint on the title page. From first publication it was a success with the book&#39;s American distributor complaining that he could have sold twice as many copies if only he&#39;d had them. But the book was financially successful because of how its produced. Herbert Farjeon&#39;s editing remains highly regarded, the typography was conceived with great care by Francis Meynell and the book was printed at Cambridge under the guidance of the Printer to the University, Walter Lewis. With the addition of a fine binding you have a book in which each part of it&#39;s production is of the highest quality. , 8vo 8" - 9" tall .

      1929. The Stormfield EditionTWAIN, Mark. The Writings of Mark Twain. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1929.Stormfield Edition. Limited to 1,024 numbered sets. Thirty-seven octavo volumes. Title-pages printed in red and black. Photogravure frontispieces and plates (including portraits) after drawings, paintings, etc. by E.W. Kemble, Howard Pyle, Dan Beard, W.H.W. Bicknell, P. Newell, J.Allen St. John, A.B. Frost, and others.Original dark blue fine-bead cloth, gilt triple-rule border with the gilt stencil signature of Mark Twain on the front cover. Spine lettered in gilt, top edge gilt, others uncut. A fine set in the original pale blue dust jackets with printed paper labels on the spine.The Stormfield edition of the Writings of Mark Twain, published in 1929, is identical in every way (with the exception of Twain&#39;s signature) to the Definitive Edition which had been published by Gabriel Wells in 1922. Even the limitation of these two sets were the same, both being limited to 1,024 numbered copies. The only difference between the two editions was the addition of an inserted &#39;signed leaf&#39; in the first volume of the Definitive edition. Twain had signed these leaves in 1906 in anticipation of the edition but died but died twelve years before it&#39;s publication in 1922. In fact the full cloth binding on the Stormfield edition is certainly superior to the quarter blue cloth over paper boards of the Definitive edition.The &#39;Stormfield&#39; edition was named after Mark Twain&#39;s final home "The Clemens family was itinerant from 1891 until well after Olivia&#39;s death in 1904, trying out a number of houses, none of which they found ultimately congenial. Fully out of debt, Clemens decided toward the end of his life to try and recover the feeling of stability that the Hartford home represented by building another house, this time in Redding, Connecticut, where he had purchased nearly 250 acres of land in 1906. In 1907, he commissioned John Mead Howells, son of William Dean Howells, to design the house, and allowed, or perhaps even encouraged, daughter Clara to participate in planning and overseeing construction. Built on the money he earned on "Extract from Captain Stormfield&#39;s Visit to Heaven," he named the house "Stormfield" and lived there until his death in 1910. Clara sold the house many years after her father&#39;s death. When the house burned down, it&#39;s owners built a near replica, which remains in private hands." (Gregg Camfield.

        [Kingsport Press] Addresses of Abraham Lincoln. Together with: Extracts from the Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge; Washington, His Farewell Address

      Kingsport, TN: Kingsport Press, 1929; 1930; 1932. 141; 129; 142pp. These scarce little tomes were initially published as an exercise of the Training Division of the Kingsport Press. Bondy makes special note of the complicated process by which they were printed, saying that "it is of interest to note the printing history of these marvels of superior miniature book production." This many-step process included setting full-sized type, photo-reducing the printed sheets, and creating zinc linecuts, which were then used to make the nickel electrotype plates from which the books were printed. The final, miniature-sized pages were folded on two very small machines specially designed by workers at the Press. The three books are bound in gilt-stamped leathers of various colors. A.e.g. A fine set, hard to find together. (Bondy 144; Spielmann 103, 297, 508; Welsh 4409, 2023; see photograph, Bromer/Edison, p. 159). (7/8 by 5/8; 22x16mm).

        Menschen ohne maske (Men without masks)

      Offered is the first example to be printed and bound, documented by compiler, editor and contributor, Gunther Sander (son of August Sander) in his handwritten homage in German to the historically important photojournalist, Stefan Lorant. The signed, dated-sited presentation of 14 lines is carefully made in pen & blue ink on the first preliminary page. Lorant published some of August Sander's photographs as editor of the Münchner Illustrierte Presse (1929-1933) and his compilation of all then extant photographs of Abraham Lincoln is cited by Gunther Sander in his homage. SANDER AND 'MENSCHEN': The great German photographer August Sander is remembered for "Menschen Des 20 Jahrhunderts" (People of the 20th Century), a monumental portrait series shot between 1910 and the early 1950s. He was unable to publish the project during his lifetime. This work contains the first large selection of photographs (1910-38 portraits) reproduced from Sander's surviving print archives, (a large number were destroyed by a bomb in WWII), the selection made by his son, Gunther who devoted years to organizing and restoring the archives and also contributes an excellent biographical essay. The gravure reproductions are of excellent quality and the German edition precedes other language editions. STEFAN LORANT [1901-1997]: is generally considered the first major editor of modern photojournalism, credited with publishing countless historical images for the first time. Lorant capitalized on the possibilities opened up by use of the new small cameras with high-speed lenses exemplified by the Leica and became a leader in the creation of the photo essay. He was among the first to employ celebrated photographers as photojournalists including August Sander, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Eisenstadt and Andre Kertesz and published the early photographs of Felix Man, Kurt Hutton, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Erich Salomon and Robert Capa. His credo: "the photograph should not be posed; the camera should be like the notebook of a trained reporter" (Whiting). FORMAT: Publisher's gray paper boards and photographic jacket. SIZE: 310 mm. CONDITION DETAIL: Lacks plain card slipcase. Pages: clean and bright: most pages with a gentle bend at the top fore-edge corner. Covers: trace fading at top and bottom edges: lower cover with lightly bumped corners: slight wear at crown and foot. Binding: Very Good. Book Jacket: Presentable with rubs and all-around edgewear, a few short, closed vertical tears, slight loss to 3 of the tips, spine with an irregular 5 mm loss at the head and an irregular 2 mm loss at the foot. PAGINATION: Confirmed complete, 313 pages with 240 fine, full-page, b/w gravure reproductions, a tipped in frontispiece portrait of August Sander, and 24 small photographic reproductions in the text. ADDITIONAL IMAGES: by request.

        A Packet for Ezra Pound

      Dublin: The Cuala Press,, 1929. Octavo. Original Holland boards, write paper title label to spine, titles to upper board in black, blue endpapers. With the original glassine wrapper. Housed in a blue cloth slipcase. Vignette engraved title page. Tanning to endpapers. An excellent copy in the creased and tanned wrapper which has some splitting from the head of the spine, and loss to ends. First edition, first impression; one of only 425 copies. Yeats&#39;s Packet for Ezra Pound presents one side of an intriguingly unlikely literary and personal friendship; Yeats, who lived with Pound more than once (first in Ashdown Forest, where Pound&#39;s ostensibly secretarial status produced the drastic renovation of Yeats&#39;s poetic style in his 1914 collection "Responsibilities", and later in Rapallo during the late 1920s, the period of association with which Yeats&#39;s "Packet" is concerned), describes Pound as a man "whose art is the opposite of mine, whose criticism commends what I most condemn, a man with whom I should quarrel more than with anyone else if we were not united by affection." This copy is from the collection, with his inscription on the colophon, of Ronald Lane Latimer, an editor and publisher of modernist poetry under the Alcestis Press imprint in New York during the 1930s.
