Description:
London: Heinemann, 1970. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Printing. A wonderful copy of the author's fifth novel, filmed in 1974 with Roger Moore, Susannah York and Bradford Dillman in the leading roles. It sounds like a lifetime ago and yet this copy presents almost As New. Square, tight, with a fresh, white text-block, the most minor of pushing at the extreme spine tips but corners sharp- a really handsome copy. In a beautiful unclipped dustjacket with absolutely no loss of paper but a microscopic chip to the laminate at the crown. There is a line or score across the front panel which may be a production fault - not unduly noticeable although obviously a slight blemish to an otherwise perfect copy. Loosely inserted an adhesive label which has been signed by Wilbur Smith - not a contemporary signature.

Description:
London: Mrs Marshall's Office, 1952. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Good. A fascinating typescript of Greene's first play, The Living Room, from Mrs Marshall's Office (London) dated Sept 15 1952. 82 pp. The Living Room was first performed in English at the Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh in February 1953 before transferring to the West End in April where it enjoyed a two-year long run. The play was a huge success and opened on Broadway in 1954 where it was equally acclaimed. The Living Room was first published in the Swedish language in 1952 and in English in 1953. Cannot accurately be described as a fair-copy since there are differences in both stage directions and dialogue between this draft and the final published versions. Probably an early rehearsal script, the timing would fit with the opening night being in February but that is purely conjecture. Embossed stamp at the title page and printed label at the rear. Ribbon-tied in plain pink card covers which are a bit battered with some loss. The… Read More

New York, Grove Press, 2022, trade paperback, 272 pp, Advance Uncorrected Proof (ARC), New. 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.
