Seller: Mystery Pier Books, inc

Title: ROMAN BY POLANSKI
Author: POLANSKI, Roman
Seller: Mystery Pier Books, inc (United States)
Condition: Very Good Indeed
Description: Signed & Inscribed First Edition, First State copy, a presentation copy, by the internationally famed director to noted Polish writer/director Jerzy Skolimowski, writer of Polanski's breakthrough film, KNIFE IN THE WATER. Much better than very good copy, slightly foxed to topedge leaves, in like dust jacket showing light wear and a modicum of stain to spine & back panel, not affecting the author portrait. This copy is a rarity indeed: it bears a full-page inscription by Polanski in Polish to Skolimowski (translation provided by him on a laid-in sheet). In blue ink: "Romek. So you see what is happening / I am signing my biography to you / And it is in English / You could not have foreseen this / during those hot evenings / on Narutowicra Street / when you were served / fruit juices by Kuba / Love/ R." Signature a rarity today, highly sought after; an inscription by him, particularly one with this degree of meaning & history, in such an association on a presentation copy, is an extraordinary uniquity.

Title: Hotel Utah. Salt Lake
Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: 1920. Ephemera. Very Good. Brochure [18 cm x 15 cm; 9 cm x 15 cm folded] Illustrated self wraps. Very lightly creased. Brief contemporary notation (dated "1920") in pencil on the front wrap. At the time, George Relf was Manager, and Wesley Austin was Assistant Manager. "For seventy-six years the Hotel Utah presided as 'the Grande Dame of Hotels' in the Intermountain West and was internationally recognized for its elegance and extraordinary service. Called 'the Hotel' by locals and travelers alike, this ten-story white palace hosted legislators, Latter-day Saint conference-goers, conventioneers, visitors, skiers, and every U.S. president since William Howard Taft in 1912. "The Hotel Utah was built as a cooperative effort by the business and ecclesiastical leaders of the Salt Lake community to bring everyone together. It succeeded. Shares in the venture were sold and the hotel's prominent location on the corner of South Temple and Main Street, previously the site of the Bishop's Tithing Office and the Deseret News, was donated by the LDS Church. After two years of construction and a $2 million price tag, the Hotel opened 9 June 1911 'in a blaze of splendor' with a grand party for 500 of Utah's notables." - Heidi Swinton (Utah History Encyclopedia edited by Allen Kent Powell).
