Description
[Verona]: A New Directions Book [Printed by the Officina Bodoni], 1966. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Quarto size, 108 pp., signed by Ezra Pound, no. 78 of 200 copies. Guido Cavalcanti (ca. 1255 - 1300) is regarded as the first major poet of Italian literatue and was the best friend of Dante Alighieri; he was a character in Boccaccio's Decameron, and influenced writers as recently as 1861 with Dante Gabriel Rossetti - from there he had an influence on Ezra Pound, an admirer of Rossetti. In 1912 Pound first published his translations of Cavalcanti's work, with another publication in 1932. Pound's main focus was on Cavalcanti's philosophy of love and light, and this focus had a further influence on Pound's friend and fellow modernist T.S. Eliot. (N.B., above information from Wikipedia.) This edition of 1966, exquisitely printed by the Officina Bodoni, includes Pound's translations with two pages of Notes at the end, the Introduction to the Edition of 1912, and two essays entitled "Mediaevalism" and "The Other Dimension", with an Index at the rear. ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter vellum with yellow Roma paper sides, the initials "EP" in outline in gilt on the front, gilt lettering on the spine, title page in rust and black, printed in Dante type on Pescia paper, quarto size (approximately 11.25" tall), pagination: (1)-106, blank, colophon with printer's device in red, signature of Ezra Pound above the limitation statement; limited edition of 190 copies on paper, this no. 78 (plus 10 on Japanese paper).

Description
London: Methuen, 1910. First Edition. First Edition. A non-mystery featuring Lord Loveland, written by the prolific, early twentieth century British husband-and-wife mystery writing team. The story here involves the collision of British mores (in the form of Lord Loveland) with the reality of New York society of the early twentieth century. Lord Loveland arrives in American expecting all to bow before him, but is quickly humbled and finds himself enduring a "moral education," including "amusing, exciting, and romantic" stints as a waiter and traveling actor, ending in a happy marriage. Very Good plus in a Very Good example of the rare dust jacket. Light foxing to some pages throughout, binding quite clean. The fragile jacket has held up well, with some archival reinforcement at the verso, a few splits along the folds, and a chip just to the right of the spine titles. A very presentable copy.
