Description:
NY: Random House, 1965. First edition. Inscribed by Matthiessen to Kennett Love, Matthiessen's brother-in-law, longtime foreign correspondent for the New York Times and in 1965 an associate professor at Princeton (his ownership inscription at the front flyleaf reiterates such). Signed again by Matthiessen at the half title. This exploration of the incursion of two white men—one a missionary and one a mercenary, though the novel arrives at their overlap—was a finalist for the 1966 National Book Award, and was in 1991 made into a film starring Tom Waits, John Lithgow, Tom Berenger, and Daryl Hannah. The novel's problematization of white American foreign will and this copy's association to Love, whose own foreign exploits remain somewhat occluded, makes for a particularly interesting view to America's general international Cold War program. Bound in quarter black cloth with beige cloth over boards and gilt ornamet to upper cover. Some exterior soiling, foxing to text block edges, mild bumps to… Read More

Description:
Boston: Bromer Booksellers, 2011. Octavo. 408pp. First trade edition. Aun Aprendo: A Comprehensive Bibliography of the Writings of Aldous Leonard Huxley is the culmination of over twenty years of research, fact-finding, and detective work undertaken by David J. Bromer. With over 2,000 entries, Aun Aprendo is the most current and comprehensive descriptive bibliography of Aldous Huxley's works ever produced. It describes the first appearances of Huxley's works in the English language and identifies many previously unrecorded contributions to books, pamphlets, and periodicals. As a result, Aun Aprendo is an essential tool to the labyrinthine mind of one of the foremost thinkers of the twentieth century for librarians, scholars, book collectors, and interested Huxleyans. The trade edition was printed in 400 copies. It is clothbound with a dust wrapper simulating the patterned-paper boards for Huxley's Selected Poems.

Description:
1952. Holograph manuscript on two leaves of white wove, three-holed, loose-leaf paper measuring 9 1/2 by 6 inches. At the bottom of the second leaf, in Frost's hand, the work is inscribed "Robert to Fred" (i.e. Frederick B. Adams, Jr.). A life-long bibliophile, Adams was the director of the Pierpont Morgan Library from 1938-1969. This poem first appeared as Frost's Christmas greeting for 1952 and was not actually released until July 4, 1953; it was later published in Frost's last collection, In the Clearing. Adams's label on the front cover of his archival folder dates this manuscript to November 1952, and there are sufficient variant readings to suggest that Frost was still revising the poem when he presented these leaves to Adams. Of particular note is line 3, which reads: "That was to make the New World newly great"; in the published version, this was changed to "That should have made the New World newly great", removing at once the undertone of potentiality in Frost's stanza about the original… Read More
