Christophers, London 1934. FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (7.6 x 5.2 inches). Illustrated with line drawings throughout the text. Publishers yellow cloth with black lettering to the spine and black illustration to the front board. In the scarce original dustwrapper with a design by Ruth Wood, printed in red and black to the front panel.

The anonymous editor wants to show the contradictions, distortions and exaggerations in the Nazi ideology and propaganda. The goal of the collection is to point to the grave dangers embedded in the Nazi ideology, to the violence and brutality of the Nazi revolution. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism). An interesting and uncommon book ridiculing the ideology of the National Socialists in early 1930's Germany, by using there own statements and propaganda to show both the absurdity and danger of their thinking.

Jonathan Cape. London. 1972. FIRST EDITION. Large 8vo. (10 x 7.4 inches). 64pp. Illustrated with 182 illustrations, printed in various colours, by Earnshaw, a master of surrealism. Full black cloth binding with gilt lettering to the spine and front board. Fine copy in the red and black printed dustwrapper which is fine. ---- The rare hard cover of this important work. The book was issued in hard and soft cover with this variant being by far the hardest to find. A remarkable book full of Earnshaw's surreal, humorous and dark illustrations. A contemporary review of the book from the Times educational Supplement perhaps sums it up best; "It is fair to say that the author explores a landscape which suggests Magritte and Monty Python. The humour is austere, bleak and if not black, at least charcoal grey. As a feat of imagination the work is outstanding.".

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
