Description:
San Francisco: City Lights Pocket Bookshop, 1956. Original wraps. Near Fine. A remarkable Association copy of the 1956 correct 1st edition. This copy not only conforms to all the original issue points but is in beautiful, near-pristine condition. Furthermore, THIS COPY IS SIGNED BY 5 OF THE KEY FIGURES IN THE BOOK'S GENESIS: 1) ALLEN GINSBERG (on the title page); 2) LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI (on the copyright page); 3) LUCIEN CARR (on the dedication page); 4) WILLIAM BURROUGHS (also on the dedication page); and 5) CARL SOLOMON (on the first blank endpaper). In other words, this copy is signed by the book's author, its publisher and by 3 of its 5 dedicatees (only Jack Kerouac's and Neal Cassady's signatures are missing from this copy). Notably, of the 5 signatures, all critically important to the birth and evolution of "Howl", Lucien Carr's appears to be the most elusive. We know that Carr's relationship with the Beats grew tense early on and that he insisted his name be removed from all subsequent…

This was the first book given to me by my father... In 1906-1907 I was a lecture manager for Elbert Hubbard, the Sage of East Aurora, whose quasi-socialist group The…

Description:
New York: Macmillan Company, 1903. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First edition. A touch of rubbing at the bottom of the boards, easily fine with the white painted "snow" on the spine and front board especially bright in a lovely, fine dust jacket with the slightest of rubbing, strong and supple at the folds, and devoid of the usual professional restoration. Housed in a custom quarter green morocco and cloth clamshell case. Along with *White Fang*, one of the two great novels for which the author seems destined to be remembered. His empathy for animals, combined with his appreciation of the Darwinian lessons of life, here overcome London's occasionally simplistic political agenda, resulting in a classic tale for both children and adults. A superior copy.
