New York:: Viking,, 1941.. First Printing of the First Edition. A Very Good plus copy in a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with wear to the folds and extremities and chipping. There are two slight dampstains to the inside of the front panel. In 1940, John Steinbeck and his friend Ed Ricketts sailed out of Monterey Bay to the Sea of Cortez. Shifting his focus from fiction to science, Steinbeck wrote that his new work "must jump to include other species beside the human. This is why my interest in biology and ecology have become so sharpened." The account that Steinbeck wrote about the expedition includes Ricketts's catalogue of marine invertebrates found in Baja.

New York:: Random House,, 1938.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with a small chip to the bottom edge of the front panel and a touch of wear to the spine. Otherwise a very collectible copy of this classic memoir of author Dinesen's life in Africa. Dinesen gives a true account of her life on her plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the country and the natives: of the beauty of the Ngong Hills and coffee trees in blossom: of her guests, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who visited her: of primitive festivals: of big game that were her near neighbors--lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes--and of Lulu, the little gazelle who came to live with her, unbelievably ladylike and beautiful.

Description:
Los Angeles:: Black Sparrow Press,, 1968.. First Printing of the First Paperback Edition. A Very Good plus copy of this 2nd state of the paperback issue where the misspelling on the front cover has been corrected with a white label. According to Krumhansl there were only 18 copies of the 1st state with the misprint and 747 copies of the 2nd state. There were also 75 hardcover copies. There is a touch of wear to spine. There are no names or markings to text. 89 pages. In this early collection of poems, Bukowski revisits some of his earlier subjects, but instead of his previous surrealistic mode his work explodes with verbal pyrotechnics shedding a fresh light on his own version of the "lower depths."

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.
