Description
Boston: Ticknor, Reed, and Fields, 1850. First edition. Very Good. Original publisher's cloth binding stamped in gilt and blind. A Very Good copy of this American masterpiece. Some chipping at the spine ends, and a short split to the cloth at the rear spine fold. Professional repairs to that outer joint and spine ends (no new material added). Internal contents generally clean and attractive. First issue with "reduplicate" error on p. 21 and the publisher's ads dated March 1850 at the front of the work. Front inner hinge starting, rear hinge professionally repaired. Housed in a custom slipcase with chemise. Hester Prynne, publicly punished as an adulterer when she bears a child out of wedlock, refuses to name the father of her daughter; instead, she lives life in her village, wearing a mandatory scarlet A as a sign of her shame. Though Hester's body betrays her secret, in pregnancy and motherhood, her honesty and public acknowledgement of her daughter brings her greater redemption than the two men in her life. For years, the Reverend Dimmesdale struggles in secret with his guilt at allowing Hester to bear punishment alone for their affair. And her cruel, estranged husband (alias Roger Chillingworth) becomes morally bankrupt in his desperate search to uncover and name her lover, the unknown father of Pearl. A classic of American literature. Very Good.

Los Angeles: Black Sparrow Press, 1967. Very Good. Los Angeles, CA: Black Sparrow Press, 1967. First Edition, Limited to 125 signed copies  of which this is no. 51. Square quarto; printed stitched wraps; [8]pp. Light wear along bottom edges with adjacent spotting and discoloration, bleeding ever so slightly to bottom edge of text. Binding sound and pages else unmarked; Very Good. Signed by Bukowski on limitation page and additionally inscribed and signed on front free endpaper to his friend John Thomas Idlet with inscription, "For John Thomas and his Rosie and his reels of tape and his criticism and his critical roomer down there; and, so, at least the sun is not critical and the doornobs [sic] and the beercans and the shoelaces. It seems everybody's got a giant bitch going, John. At least most of yours are logical. hail, hail, Buk Nov 5, 1967." Inscribed to John Thomas Idlet, whom Bukowski called "the best unread poet in America." The pair were close at the time of this writing, and Bukowski's biographer Neeli Cherkovski said of Idlet that he "was one of the few persons who could intimidate Bukowski even before Bukowski came into the room." A remarkable association.  Krumhansl 26; Elaine Woo, "John Thomas, 71; Member of Venice Beats." Los Angeles Times: April 7, 2002.
