(Pastore page 273) First edition. 10,000 copies of the black on blue dust jacket were printed. It is a warm human story, a story of people everyone knows, of a community anyone could live in. There is none of the deliberate out of scale characterization that makes one feel -- at times -- that he is mainly a satirist. There is the inescapable sense of familiarity in characters, in situations, in background, that made Main Street, Babbitt, Arrowsmith and Dodsworth live as household words. It is a story of marriage, the focus on Judge Timberlane and the lovely, somewhat unstable young wife, Jinny, who alternately stimulated his passion, his worship, his jealousy.

380 pages. Small octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") issued in orange cloth with purple lettering to front cover and offset coloring to spine in original pictorial jacket. First American edition.One of the outstanding literary figures of this generation, Ford Madox Ford is equally distinguished as a poet, essayist, biographer, critic and novelist. Here he has turned his great abilities to the job he likes best of all - the telling of a story, with its psychology, its flavor, its drama, deeply rooted in the present-day; its background in France and America. He takes a study in the exchange of identities, and shows us that, even though Henry Martin Alluin Smith did not commit suicide, as he had planned; even though he took over the identity of a man who did, nevertheless if one changes his identity without changing his nature hi is no better off than he was before. Written with the distinction for which Ford Madox Ford is famous, The Rash Act is a psychological novel of the first importance, permeated with the… Read More

298 pages. Small octavo (7 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in green cloth with dark green lettering to cover and spine in original pictorial jacket. (First's January 2003 pg 45) First American edition. The Luck of the Bodkins first published in the United Kingdom on October 11, 1935 by Herbert Jenkins, and in the United States on January 3, 1936 by Little, Brown and Company. The two editions are significantly different, though the plot remains the same. The novel was serialized in Passing Show magazine (UK) from 21 September to 23 November 1935, and this version was published as the UK edition. For its US magazine appearance, in the Red Book, between August 1935 and January 1936, Wodehouse re-wrote the story, reducing its length, and this became the US book edition. The story concerns the complicated love life of amiable young Drone Monty Bodkin, the nephew of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, who had previously appeared in Heavy Weather (1933), when he was employed as the latest in the long line of Lord Emsworth's… Read More
