Description
New York: Random House, 1940. First Edition. Hard Cover with Dust Jacket. Very Good/Very Good. Octavo. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED THUS ON FEP: "To Marguerite Dunsmore - /The friendly antagonist - in hopes / of more such intriguing duels / Cordially / Walter V. T. Clark / December 14, 1940. TOGETHER WITH CARBON TYPSCRIPT, ONE PAGE, SIGNED, WRITTEN TO MS. DUNSMORE: "Addressed to a Counter-blade / Let us cease this fencing of intellects / This sharp following behind masks / Of the bright points moving, this parry and thrust / Of the cold metal ringing, the guard against guard to a spark, / Seeking only a tip-tear in a heart sewed on white silk. / Let us throw down the limber blades, the screens of our faces, / Into the roses tossed early for the quick-legged dance of our brains, / Rub off the powder of our hands and join them tightly, / Looking upon each other once clearly uncovered. / Are we to dread the dark fools up in the gallery shadow / Crying the 'coward' chorus, until they weary, and bundle the stairs / in overcoats? / When they are gone we will sing unbottoned blades / With our half-bodies naked in the white light / For the flower streams of our sweet blood running, / Until it may be we will kill each other beautifully." Signed, "Walter." The source of the 1943 classic film, starring Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn. A very good copy with light soiling to the cloth binding; dust jacket with light wear to extremities - small loss at spine head.

Description
Harrisonburg, Virginia: Ananias Davisson, 1818. Second edition, Revised and Improved. Good. 12mo. vi, 5-240, [2] pp. (final endleaf excised). Contemporary full calf, brown leather label, gilt lettering. A little discoloration to the fore-edges of the text block; slightly worn; a little foxed throughout. ¶ CONTAINS STERN WARNINGS CONCERNING BORROWED BOOKS. ¶ "Take special care, I pray you, of a borrowed book.-I know that much use of a book, even in the most careful manner, must gradually wear it out. This is allowed for, of course. But a man of any taste hates to see his book soiled by dirty fingers, blank pages or margins scribbled by foolish hands, the leaves broken by being folded at the corners, or the binding shattered by negligent throws or fall. These are sore evils." Essays on literary, political, and moral subjects (including a firsthand account of witnessing "the Eloquence of Patrick Henry") from the Presbyterian minister and teacher Speece, first published in Isaac Collett's Staunton [Va.] Republican Farmer between 1813 and 1816, and then collected and published in a 110-page edition by Collett in 1818. ¶ This copy with an early small stenciled ownership mark for an Ellis Wenger on the title page and front free endpaper, with a contemporary ink inscription for Abraham Wenger (repeated) on the front free endpaper with the note in that hand, "Mountaineer Written by the Rev. Speece, D.D. of Augusta County Virginia." ¶ Howes S-822, wrongly calling this the "first collected edition" because it was "previously prd. in a periodical." This would be termed "first edition in book form." These essays were first printed in the Republican farmer of Staunton, Va., July 29, 1813, to July 18, 1816.

Description
New York: Vantage Press, 1977. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 8vo. 85, [1] pp. With 43 black and white macabre plates by the author. Original black cloth, original dust wrapper illustrated by the author. ¶ First and only appearance of these curious quatrains (ballad stanzas and clerihews) written by an otherwise unknown American author. Our copy is inscribed by the author: "Lu, Find the cloak lost in dreams / for t'is the only vehicle left not in ruin / Rene." The poetry herein reminds us at times of the musings of Leonard Cohen (sic!). The work is illustrated throughout with full page line drawings of skeletons in surrealist settings: "The skeletal structures in this book, when viewed as attitudes rather than people themselves illustrate the effects of a future arrived -- only to find confusion on all fronts" (from the author's statement). A strange and wonderful book, quite unknown. Scarce: no copy of this book is currently on the market. ¶ The NYPL catalog describes the book as containing: "Whimsically despairing surrealist verse in ballad stanzas and clerihews; illustrations by the poet of skeletal figures in surrealistic settings").

Very good. Light dust soiling. A little damage to plastic envelope where eyes kept.
Description
N.pl: Whitman Publishing Co, 1940. Very good. Light dust soiling. A little damage to plastic envelope where eyes kept.. A charming paper doll book with a moveable component: moveable eyes. The directions read: "Punch out Winkie's eyes. Take a pair of eyes from the envelope and fold on the dotted line and paste together. Holding the pair of eyes with the closed lids towards you, lashes down, pinch the portion back of the eyes slightly so the eyes will slip easily through the eye sockets. Eyes will then be held firmly in the sockets but can be made to open and close by moving the paper behind the head up and down". This example is complete and unused with both dolls ("Winkie" on front cover and "Blinkie" on back) and four sets of eyes on 2.75" by 10.75" piece of paper. The book itself measures approx. 14.75" by 9.75" and has six leaves of outfits and accessories, printed on one side of leaf only, all uncut.
