Here is a rare opportunity to own nearly two-thirdsof all publications from the highly-esteemed publishers Stone & Kimball and Herbert S. Stone & Company. This lot consists of 200 individual titles (a few titles are multi-volume sets, so, 208 individual volumes). Sidney Kramer, in A History of Stone & Kimball and Herbert S. Stone & Company,catalogues 309 titles published under the S&K/Herbert S. Stone banner, as well as a handful of privately-printed publications made by these houses.

Active between 1893-1905, these Chicago publishers produced some of the finest books of theirs or any era, and represent an important moment in the history of the book publishing arts. The quality of manufacture and design, including contributions from design artists such as Aubrey Beardsley and Frank Hazenplug, demonstrate a strong influence of the contemporary Arts and Crafts movement.

These fine books will make a wonderful addition to the library of any serious book collector.
All titles are originals, all first editions (with very few exceptions - see table below), and all in Very Good or better condition (with a few exceptions - see table below). Several titles were published in very limited editions.

Six of the books in this collection feature the book plate of Herbert S. Stone, a descendant of the Herbert S. Stone who published these titles. The plate is a design by renowned book-plate artist Dorothy Sturgis Harding. See image.

Among the highlights from the collection are:
- Four volumes of the literary magazine The Chap-Book (2 volumes bound, the rest as separate issues)- A signed copy of Some Verses by Helen Hay (another signed copy on Abe Books is on offer for $875).
- A signed copy (personally inscribed with a poem) of Clyde Fitch's Some Correspondence and Six Conversations (this copy is also unopened, suggesting that the recipient of this gift was, perhaps, less than enthusiastic about Mr. Fitch's attentions).
- The works of early food-faddist and health guru Horace Fletcher (including a rare copy of The Last Waif personally inscribed by the author).
- The first appearances in English of the plays of Maurice Maeterlinck.
- The first appearance in English of the poems of Paul Verlaine.
- The first edition of Hamlin Garland's Prairie Songs.
- A signed copy of George Santayana's Sonnets and Other Poems.
- A signed presentation copy of Laurence Gronlund's The New Economy
- A signed copy of Olive Percival's Mexico City: An Idler's Notebook (a 6-verse poetical dedication by the author)
- The first edition of Sir Richard Burton's The Jew, the Gypsy, and El Islam.
- The first edition of Kenneth Graham's (author of Wind in the Willows) The Golden Age.

CONDITION: The list below enumerates all titles, states their condition, and, where appropriate, offers brief details and comments on condition and other background (these notes are not exhaustive descriptions, but meant to cover the more conspicuous features or flaws). I have tried to be conservative in my condition designations, and to make note of particular flaws, while also considering the age of these books. Many of these books have a small "xxxxx" stamp appearing discreetly on the rear paste-down (see image); the presence or absence of this stamp is noted in the table below. Most copies will contain discreet pencil markings on end-papers from a previous collector or merchant - because these are impermanent and easily removed, I have not commented on these (typically, these consist of the Kramer number, along with the occasional comment on the edition or some detail of the book, and occasionally an old dealer price).

Because of image limitations, only 8 pictures are posted here; I have done my best to provide the most complete representation of this collection within those limits. More pictures can be made available, and detailed descriptions of particular titles made, for serious inquiries only.

SHIPPING: I will ship by Media Mail; size and weight restrictions will require that several packages be shipped. A flat rate of $200 for this shipping is applied to this listing; a partial refund will be made if actual shipping and handling is significantly below this estimate; no additional shipping will be charged if my costs for media mail exceed this amount. Other delivery arrangements can be made by purchaser request and at purchaser expense. Local pickup may be arranged, and I can personally deliver within a reasonable distance (say, 20-25 miles), with buyer covering travel expense and a reasonable delivery fee. All books will be carefully and securely packaged to ensure that none are damaged in transit.

Description:
New York/London: The Fountain Press/The Hogarth Press, 1929. First Edition. Hardcover. Spine is mildly sunned; gilt strong. Near Fine. This edition preceded the English edition (both trade and signed) by three days. Original cinnamon cloth. One of only 492 copies SIGNED by the author (this copy marked "out of series" instead of numbered and belonged to the Yale University Press printer Carl Rollins) of this important and desirable title, a compelling essay on women and writing that has become a classic feminist text. "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction," said Woolf, "and that, as you will see, leaves the great problem of the true nature of woman and the true nature of fiction unsolved."

Description:
London: Edward Moxon, 1842. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Original brown cloth with a leaf of ads at the end followed by an additional collective title page and half-title page, allowing the book to form the seventh and final volume of the 1836-7 edition of Wordsworth's POETICAL WORKS. Wordsworth's last collection of new work, and somewhat scarce. This is a Presentation copy INSCRIBED by the poet on the front pastedown: "Herbert Hill/from/the Author/April 1842." Herbert Hill married Robert Southey's daughter, Bertha, in 1839 and was a neighbor of Wordsworth's living with his wife in John Fleming's cottage in Rydal. Hill served as tutor for Matthew Arnold. Both Hill and Wordsworth attended Southey's funeral in March 1843 after which Wordsworth was selected to replace Southey as England's Poet Laureate. Rebacked some time ago with nearly all of the original spine but for the tips retained. An engraved portrait of the author is laid down on the verso of the front free endpaper.

Description:
Zurich: Rascher & Cie.. 1919. The first German edition of Joyce's play Exiles and the first of his works to be published in translation in any language. One of 600 copies printed: Joyce was living in Zurich at the time and he paid for the publication of this book out of his own pocket. This copy is inscribed by the author: "To J.R. [sic] Watson, Jun / with grateful regards / James Joyce / 8. ix. 1919." J.S. Watson, Jr. was at the time the co-owner of the modernist literary journal The Dial, which he bought from Martyn Johnson with his friend and fellow Harvard graduate, Scofield Thayer. Watson became president of the magazine and Thayer became its editor. The "grateful regards" refers to a gift of $300 that Watson had sent Joyce earlier in the year at the urging of Thayer, who had himself sent Joyce $700. These sums bailed Joyce out of dire financial straits, allowed him to settle a court case against him, and helped him support the theater group that he had associated with in Zurich, the English… Read More

"One of the first really competent and instructive contributions to African ethnography by a scholar of pure African heritage. Through his upbringing Mr. Kenyatta combines to an unusual extent the knowledge of Western ways and Western modes of thought with a training and outlook essentially African. As a first-hand account of a representative African culture, as an invaluable document in the principles underlying culture-contact and change; last, not least, as a personal statement of the new outlook of a progressive African, this book will rank as a pioneering achievement of outstanding merit." - Introduction. Author was the founding father of Kenya and led the nation from its independence in 1963 until his passing in 1978. pp. xxvi, 339. Index. Glossary. Eight pages of black and white photographic plates.

FIRST EDITION of Godwin' revolutionary masterwork "his passionate advocacy of individualism, his trust in the fundamental goodness of man, and his opposition to all restrictions on liberty have endured" (PMM) a profound influence on Thomas Jefferson, who had the first American edition in his library and is viewed as Godwin's "American born counterpart." Along with those of Burke and Paine, Godwin's Enquiry was one of the most influential English political books of the late eighteenth century. It was an equally important landmark in the development of Utilitarian thought, and on political thinking in general. Godwin-the husband of Mary Wollstonecraft-"saw no good in human institutions and sought to put an end to all organized politics, religion and society… The Enquiry was, and… Read More

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.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
