Description:
London: Eyre Methuen, 1978. First Impression. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First British Edition, with wraparound pictorial dust jacket taken from Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks." 8vo: [6],229,[1]pp. Publisher's French blue cloth, spine stamped in gilt. Virtually pristine (and probably unread), both book and jacket. Yet another example of the value to be found in the graphically superior designs of most UK editions of American authors's works. Difficult to imagine a finer copy. In 1989, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Yates, reflecting on his life's work, had this to say: "I'm one of those writers who has the misfortune to write his best book first." Revolutionary Road, in fact, was nominated for the National Book Award in 1962 and is hailed today as a modern classic. But in the opinions of many writers and critics, The Easter Parade is equally fine (the book has been championed by Joan Didion, David Sedaris, Kurt Vonnegut, Larry McMurtry and Tao Lin, among others). Its famous opening line warns… Read More

Leipzig: Karl Baedeker, Publisher, 1899. Cloth. Fine. Ninth Edition, Revised and Augmented. xxvi, 568pp. with 47 maps, 10 plans, and 7 panoramas. An exceptional copy, with bright gilt lettering, one (of two) woven silk page-makers, and richly marbled edges; the red flexible cloth covers unmarked, square and tight, the maps properly folded and free of tears. Hinrichsen E050. "The Romantic movement in Germany had given a new impetus to travel . . . In 1828 Baedeker bought the rights to J. A. Klein's Rheinreise von Mainz bis Köln and, after the death of the author, Baedeker himself revised and updated the work, recreating it for a new market. Using his own travel experiences he guided the tourist to the principal attractions in each place, saving travellers the expense of hiring their own guide. He thus created a new type of guidebook, which was widely copied throughout Europe and opened up tourism to a new class of visitor. The reliability of the information was ensured by annual journeys by Baedeker… Read More

London: John Murray, 1900. Second Edition. Decorative Cloth. Fine. Second Edition, Fifth Impression, of Darwin's exhaustive study of the deleterious effects of inbreeding. 8vo: viii,487,[1]pp, with one diagram and 109 tables. Original publisher's standard green pebbled cloth, covers paneled in blind, spine lettered and decorated in gilt, black end papers, book plate on front paste-down. As with the first edition, the spine title spells "fertilisation" with a "z," while title page uses an "s." The text of this edition remains unaltered up to p. 370, where the addition of a large footnote necessitated resetting of the remaining pages. A truly superlative example, completely unopened and virtually pristine. Freeman 1260. First published in 1876, as a complement to Fertlisation of Orchids, but "too technical and too detailed to command a wide sale." (Freeman) N. B.

First Impression, plus an uncommon uncorrected proof, of García Márquez's first novel following the worldwide success of One Hundred Years of Solitude. 8vo (215 x 130; 209 x 135mm): [6],229,[1]; [6],269,[1]pp. Publisher's Prussian blue paper-covered boards with simulated cloth grain, spine stamped in gold, top edge stained lighter blue; illustrated dust jacket priced £4.50. Virtually pristine and unread, baring several spots to fore-edge and light offsetting to end papers. The uncorrected proof copy, in stiff yellow wrappers printed in black, is equally fine. An ambitious, experimental novel, "repetitious, circular, and perplexing," with "lengthy sentences, some of which run on for pages," reminiscent of Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! The novel recounts in six chapters, from various perspectives à la Rash mon, the demise of a malevolent dictator in an unnamed Caribbean country, each chapter a single paragraph of extended… Read More
