Description
Paris: Armand Magnier, 1899. No. 42 OF 500 COPIES, this ONE OF 20 ON JAPON WITH ENGRAVINGS IN THREE STATES. 300 x 207 mm. (12 x 8"). 4 p.l., ELEGANT SCARLET CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT AND INLAID, BY THE CLUB BINDERY and LEON MAILLARD, Finisher (both names stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-ins), covers framed by curling gilt vines bearing citron morocco blossoms (a total of 104 inlays on each cover), raised bands, spine panels with gilt vine circlets blooming with a total of 20 inlaid citron morocco flowers, gilt lettering, turns-ins elaborately gilt, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. Original paper wrappers bound in, the pictorial front cover present in three additional states (black & white, B&W before letters, and color). In (slightly worn) matching morocco-backed jacket. With 54 wood engravings by Romagnol, after François Thévenot (cover and portrait), Adrien Moreau (Act I), Charles Léandre (Act II), Albert Laurens (Act III), François Flameng (Act IV), and Albert Besnard (Act V), including five full-page plates, all in three states, one before letters, the full-page plates also in a color state separately furnished to subscribers by the publisher, per a notice bound in at the end of the text. Front pastedown with morocco bookplate of Robert Hoe. Lower corners a bit bumped, tail edge of lower board with shallow one-inch dent, occasional paper flaws or discoloration to edges of leaves, but an excellent copy, the interior clean and fresh, and the binding lustrous. This is a luxurious illustrated edition of Rostand's classic work, offered in a sumptuous binding done by the Club Bindery for its co-founder and manager Robert Hoe. Rostand's influential and enduringly popular 1897 verse play in five acts--sometimes referred to colloquially as the "Romance of the Nose"--is loosely based upon the real-life story of the French author and duelist Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-55) who was famous for having a prodigious proboscis. A theatrical triumph from its opening night, the play focuses on the eloquent Cyrano's unrequited love for the comely Roxanne, whom he must court as secret proxy for a friend of handsome visage but wooden tongue. Rostand (1868-1918) wrote a number of successful plays, often, like "Cyrano," based on figures from French history. The present beautiful large-format copy was originally owned by Robert Hoe, a founder of the Grolier Club and one of the world's great book collectors. After Grolier was established in 1884, it soon became apparent that the country's few established hand binders were overtaxed in providing repairs and rebinding for the club members' rapidly accumulating acquisitions. As a consequence, in 1895, Grolier members, along with Edwin Holden and other wealthy collectors, established the Club Bindery in order to attract European craftsmen to provide, close to home, fine quality binding work rivalling what was available abroad. The Club Bindery was in operation until 1909, with Hoe being its manager and most important client. It provided bindings that tended to be traditional in style--though frequently with elaborate decoration--and that lived up to its patrons' expectations in terms of excellence. The first members of the staff of the Club Bindery were the Englishmen R. W. Smith and Frank Mansell. They were subsequently joined by a number of French binders, chief among them being Leon Maillard, who had worked previously for Cuzin, Gruel, and Marius-Michel, and whose precise and intricate finishing is impressively demonstrated on our binding here. It is said by Beverly Chew that Hoe (1839-1911) had a collection that was "the finest [America] has ever contained." He acquired illuminated manuscripts, early printing (he owned a Gutenberg Bible on paper and one on vellum), fine bindings, French and English literature, and Americana, and when his library was sold in 1911-12, it fetched nearly $2 million, a record that held until the Streeter sale more than 50 years later. The present volume represents the fine level of aesthetic achievement typical of the bindery, and it is especially impressive because of its significant dimensions..

[with:] Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. With fifty illustrations by John Tenniel. Sixty-first thousand. London: Macmillan & Co., Limited, 1897. Two volumes. Small octavo (7 1/2 x 5 inches; 191 x 127 mm.). xii, [1]-199, [1, blank] pp. [&] xvi, [1]-231, [1, blank] pp. Publisher's red cloth over boards, covers triple-ruled in gilt, covers with central gilt medallions depicting "Alice," "The Cheshire Cat," "The Red Queen," and "The White Queen," respectively. Spines lettered in gilt, black coated endpapers, all edges gilt. Some scattered light foxing, Alice with a small one-inch closed tear to the lower margin of the front free endpaper, spines uniformly and very slightly faded, otherwise a spectacular and unusually bright pair of the last lifetime edition. A fine set of an important issue. Both titles were entirely reset in new type, and the illustrations printed from new electrotypes taken from Tenniel's original woodblocks, which had never themselves been used for printing; as a result, the images appear with a freshness and crispness comparable to those of the earliest editions. Both volumes include prefaces specially written for this Christmas 1897 issue, in which Carroll discusses the text, addresses the famous Mad Hatter's riddle, and offers commentary on pricing and the "Nursery Alice." In Through the Looking-Glass, he further elaborates on the chess problem underlying the narrative and addresses questions of pronunciation in "Jabberwocky." An unusually bright and well-preserved example of the final lifetime editions. The Eighty-Sixth Thousand of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland represents Carroll's final revised text. All subsequent printings were issued from this setting.

Formalized close-ups of the "particulars" of bodies shot in Goldblatt's native South Africa, mostly 1975-1982.

New York: MoMA, 1968. A fine copy. Uncommon, with only 3 OCLC records located.. First Edition. Square octavo. Pamphlet with brown cardstock portfolio illustrated after Christo's 1967 photomontage The Museum of Modern Art Packed (View from 53rd Street), contextualized by verso text from Curator William S. Rubin: "As an artist functioning more in the realm of 'events' than in that of painting and sculpture, it is not surprising that Christo should have dreamed that it was time to wrap the Museum... The Museum staff found this a potentially lively and poetically strange project. But the more practical heads of the fire department, police department, and insurance agencies prevailed." Leporello contents feature 10 black-and-white reproductions of Christo's MoMA proposals, which were exhibited in the Main Hall (June 5 - 25), as well as documentation from some of his previous wrapped and packed works.

2011 With nine compact discs. Signed by Smith in silver marker to front panel of box. Publisher's black and gold cardboard box, with the same front panel design as the book, designed by Allison Saltzman, lettered in white. Near fine, with a few small nicks and creases to corners and edges of box. Overall, a unique item, scarce signed. Just Kids documents the relationship between singer-songwriter Patti Smith and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, who together played a major role in shaping the underground art and punk rock movements in New York City in the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to being her roommate and lover, Mapplethorpe photographed Smith in the iconic images that later became the covers to her music albums. This memoir chronicles Smith and Mapplethorpe's childhoods, first encounters in New York, romantic relationship, tenure at the Chelsea Hotel, and, naturally, their artistic endeavors that stemmed from their mutual inspiration. According to Janet Maslin's New York Times review, the title "Just Kids" refers to a moment in Washington Square Park in 1967 when a couple saw Smith and Mapplethorpe. While the woman thought that they "looked like artists," her husband brushed the comment off, saying that they were "just kids.". Signed by Author. Compact Discs. Near Fine.

In his preface, he observed that Cowell "is sometimes too prolix in the derivation of a Word, setting down several Authors Opinions, without categorically determining which is the true"; Rastell "wrote so long hence, that his very Language and manner of expression was almost antiquated." He hoped that by correcting these flaws he would create a dictionary useful to everyone in the profession from "the Coif to the puny-Clerk." The Nomo-Lexikon is clearer and more detailed than its predecessors. It is also the first English-language dictionary with entries that include word etymologies and citations. An immediate success that quickly supplanted its predecessors, it was reissued in larger and revised editions throughout the eighteenth century.

ABOUT VOLUME 1: For more than a quarter of a century, Hubert L. Dreyfus has been the leading voice in American philosophy for the continuing relevance of phenomenology, particularly as developed by Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Dreyfus has influenced a generation of students and a wide range of colleagues, and these volumes are an excellent representation of the extent and depth of that influence. In keeping with Dreyfus's openness to others' ideas, many of the essays in this volume take the form of arguments with various of his positions. The essays focus on the dialogue with the continental philosophical tradition, in particular the work of Heidegger, that has played a foundational role in Dreyfus's thinking. The sections are Philosophy and Authenticity; Modernity, Self, and the World; and Heideggerian Encounters. The book concludes with Dreyfus's responses to the essays.Contributors: William D. Blattner, Taylor Carman, David R. Cerbone, Dagfinn Føllesdal, Charles Guignon, Michel Haar, Beatrice Han, Alastair Hannay, John Haugeland, Randall Havas, Jeff Malpas, Mark Okrent, Richard Rorty, Julian Young, Michael E. Zimmerman.(Publisher) ABOUT VOLUME 2: Hubert L. Dreyfus's engagement with other thinkers has always been driven by his desire to understand certain basic questions about ourselves and our world. The philosophers on whom his teaching and research have focused are those whose work seems to him to make a difference to the world. The essays in this volume reflect this desire to "make a difference"-not just in the world of academic philosophy, but in the broader world. Dreyfus has helped to create a culture of reflection-of questioning the deep premises that inform and shape work in artificial intelligence and cognitive science. He has also been the primary introducer and interpreter of Martin Heidegger's work to the world of information technology. The essays in this volume represent the fruitful application of deep philosophical analysis to the concerns of our modern technological world. The sections are Coping and Intentionality; Computers and Cognitive Science; and "Applied Heidegger." In addition to cognitive science and artificial intelligence, topics include everyday skills, religion, business practices, and medical care. The book concludes with Dreyfus's responses to the essays. Contributors Daniel Andler, Patricia Benner, Albert Borgmann, Harry Collins, George Downing, Fernando Flores, Sean Kelly, Joseph Rouse, Theodore R. Schatzki, John Searle, Robert C. Solomon, Charles Spinosa, David Stern, Charles Taylor, Terry Winograd, Mark Wrathall(Publisher).
