EAST OF EDEN

New York: The Viking Press, 1952. The publisher's autographed first edition that was limited to 1500 copies, half of which were for private distribution. SIGNED by John Steinbeck on the colophon page. Housed in the original slipcase. Although some literary critics have called East of Eden a failure in its attempt to retell the Adam & Eve / Cain & Abel story, others consider it to be Steinbeck's masterpiece of his later writing. It was a finalist for the National Book Award for fiction in 1953 and the basis for the 1955 film that introduced James Dean. The book has been well protected by the slipcase and remains in near-fine condition. The slipcase is about very good: clean and solid with some fading; some color-rubbing and the usual wear along the edges of the opening; starting to tear along each of the opening corners (ranging from 1/4" to 1".. SIGNED. First Edition. Hardcover. Collectible-Fine-. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.

Description:
London: William S. Orr & Co., 1848. This is not a complete book--it is a single sheet containing an original antique hand-colored botanical print. Joseph Paxton was perhaps the most significant 19th century English botanist, the designer of the famed Crystal Palace, and the editor of Paxton's Magazine of Botany and Register of Flowering Plants. This print is from the 14th volume of that magazine, published in 1848. Drawn and lithographed by Samuel Holden, it is a superb brilliantly-colored example of the flowers in the magazine. The lithograph is accompanied by the original text pages explaining the origin, cultivation, and uses of the flower. The print is clean and bright, with a hint of toning of the background and the usual stab holes along the binding edge.. First Edition. Paper. Collectible-Fine. Illus. by Samuel Holden. 9" by 6 3/8". Fine Art Print.

Description:
Amsterdam: Chez Zacharie Chatelain, 1728. Complete in 5 parts (various paginations) with frontispiece and 242 half-page engravings by Henri Cause, many based on those of François Chauveau. There also are attractiveengraved tailpieces following many of the fables. The 5th part of the Fables is not included in many editions; so this more complete edition is quite desirable. Recently and sympathetically rebound in full leather with the original spine and front & rear panels laid down. Internally clean with only an occasional hint of foxing; small chips out of margins of 5 leaves, not affecting text or images. In all, a very nice example of this scarce book, an early, delightfully illustrated French-language presentation of La Fontaine's fables.. Early Printing. Hardcover. Collectible-Very Good. Illus. by Henri Cause. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Book.

Description:
New York: New Directions, 1946. 1946-1958. First printings of the first editions of all five books in the long poem to which Williams devoted so much of his later life. Each of Books I-IV were editions limited to 1,000 copies; Book V was limited to 3,000 copies. Seldom found as a complete set! The books are clean and tight, with light dusting of the top edges and some foxing along the top edge of the cloth only on Book Five. Two volumes have a previous owner's name written very neatly on a front endpaper, and one has a bookplate on the front endpaper. Pages are lightly toned (especially Book One) and more so on the endpapers. Pages edges are toned. The dust jackets for Books 1-4 are clean and attractive with some light tanning, mostly along the spines. The jacket for Book Five presents well but has moderate foxing, a couple of tiny chips, and one 1 1/4" closed tear at the bottom of the rear panel. All dust jackets are now protected in archival polyester sleeves.. First Editions.… Read More
