Nog (Original first draft manuscript and archive for the 1968 novel)
Author

Seller
Royal Books (United States)
Description
N.p.: N.p., 1968. Archive of manuscript material for Rudolph Wurlitzer's 1968 debut novel "Nog," including a complete first draft of the novel, showing significant differences from the published version and with an unpublished final chapter, and over 300 loose manuscript pages, both with extensive manuscript annotations throughout. As complete and detailed an archive regarding a writer's creative process as we can imagine. From the collection of Rudolph Wurlitzer, with full provenance available. A landmark of postmodern American fiction and a bona fide cult classic, whose plot is best summed up by the rear panel copy of Two Dollar Radio's 2009 reprint edition as "the tale of a man adrift through the American West, armed with nothing more than his own three pencil-thin memories and an octopus in a bathysphere." On publication, "Nog" drew favorable comparisons to the work of Thomas Pynchon and Samuel Beckett, with Pynchon himself stating it was "more than a beautiful and heavy trip, it's also very important in an evolutionary way, showing us the direction we could be moving in," and Jack Newfield stating in his revew for the "Village Voice" that the novel's impact on literature is "what Dylan is to lyrics." After reading the novel, director Monte Hellman would tap Wurlitzer to write the screenplay for "Two-Lane Blacktop," leading to a second career which saw him pen scripts for Sam Peckinpah, Alex Cox, Robert Frank, and Bernardo Bertolucci. Included in the archive is a first draft of the novel with significant differences in both text and structure from the published version, and extensive revisions, deletions, and corrections to the text by Wurlitzer. Most importantly, the manuscript contains an unpublished final chapter, mirroring the first chapter in structure and providing a completely different ending than the published novel, which concludes with the penultimate chapter of this manuscript draft. 177 pages, rectos only, with both typescript and xerographically duplicated pages, with manuscript ink and pencil, copied, and typed annotations throughout. Also included in the manuscript in a xerographically duplicated copy of Wurlitzer's story "Octopus," as it appeared in the Summer 1966 issue of the "Paris Review." In addition to the heavily revised manuscript, the archive contains approximately 320 loose manuscript pages, containing rewrites and edits to content of the novel, including multiple versions of the same pages or passages, primarily a mix of typescript and xerographically duplicated pages, with extensive manuscript, copied, and typed annotations throughout, and with occasional handwritten pages of text or notes also present. Also included is an additional typescript draft of the first three chapters of the novel, appearing to closely resemble the published version, as well as the 2009 reprint edition of the novel. Manuscript and archive material Near Fine overall.

New York: Charles Scriber's Sons, 1903 Illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Slocum, eleven plates, and a fold-out map at the rear. First edition thus (first abridged edition). Presentation copy, signed and inscribed by Slocum with a quotation from the book (second paragraph, first line): "'As for myself the wonderful sea charmed me from the first' Joshua Slocum [illegible] Aug 16th 1903". Publisher's dark red cloth, with front board and spine elaborately decorated in brown, and lettered in black. Very good or better, with some rubbing and flaking to spine and front board, light wear to spine ends, lightly bumped top edge of front board, and bookplate to front free endpaper "Charlotte Richmond, [VA?]", with a note penned by the owner on the provenance of Slocum's inscription: "This book was given to me by the old captain when I took cookies out to him, while anchored nearby". Overall, a great, uniquely inscribed copy. Sailing Alone Around the World (1900) is Captain Joshua Slocum's firsthand account of his incredible solo circumnavigation of the earth, which took three years (1895-1898) and covered more than 46,000 miles. During the voyage Slocum encountered a number of life-threatening dangers, including gales, gear failure, and pirates. Slocum spent a year renovating his sloop, The Spray, before setting sail on the trip. He sailed without the use of a chronometer, relying instead on dead reckoning, a traditional navigation method. He also never learned to swim, believing it to be a useless skill. Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Heart of the Sea, described the book as "Walden without training wheels." In the Preface of this edition, Slocum explains how he collaborated with Dr. Edward R. Shaw to abridge Sailing Alone Around the World so that it could be used in schools and serve as "a story of adventure and a lesson in geography all in one." . Inscribed by Author. First Edition Thus. Hard Cover. Very Good.

Description
1959 - 1960 Six telegrams written by Hemingway to friends Hotchner and Davis, from Málaga and Havana. Near fine, with light creasing and toning, and some minor notes in pencil. Overall, a wonderful, kaleidoscopic archive that captures the final years of Hemingway. Housed in a custom maroon clamshell box, with spine lettered in gilt. In this small archive of telegrams, Ernest Hemingway writes to his rich American expatriate friend, Nathan William (“Bill”) Davis, and friend and editor A. E. Hotchner. In the summer of 1959, Ernest and Mary Hemingway stayed at Bill and Annie Davis’ home, “La Consula,” in Málaga while Ernest gathered materials for a Life magazine piece on a bullfighting rivalry between two brothers, Luis Miguel Dominguín and Antonio Ordóñez. Eventually, the piece ballooned to more than 100,000 words, and Hemingway enlisted the help of A. E. Hotchner to pare it down. Titled “The Dangerous Summer,” the piece was released in Life in three installments in 1960. It was published posthumously in book form in 1985 and is considered to be Hemingway’s last major work. In these telegrams, among other things, Hemingway writes to Davis about the bullfights and the prospect of returning to Málaga in the summer of 1960, and to Hotchner about edits to “The Dangerous Summer.”. Very Good.

Description
1933 Original 9" x 7" Type 1 black and white photo. Photo of the 1933 New York Giants team after capturing the NL pennant, featuring future Hall of Famers Carl Hubbell, Mel Ott, Travis Jackson, and Bill Terry. Fine photo. Overall, a beautiful vintage team photo. After winning the NL pennant, the 1933 New York Giants went on to defeat the Washington Senators in the World Series in five games. The team's success was due in no small part to exceptional pitching throughout the season by Carl Hubbell and Hal Schumacher. Carl Hubbell was a Hall of Fame pitcher who spent his entire career with the Giants. He won NL MVP honors twice (1933, 1936) and was selected for nine All-Star games. His most memorable moment in the league came when he struck out five all-time great hitters - Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin - in a row in the 1934 All-Star Game. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947. Mel Ott was a Hall of Fame right fielder who spent his entire playing career with the New York Giants (1926 - 1947). He was selected to 12 All-Stars games and was a 6x NL home run leader. Notably, he led the Giants in home run hitting for 18 consecutive seasons (1928 - 1945), which still stands as a record today, and was the third player to join the 500 home run club after Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx. Ott was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1951. Bill Terry was a 3x All-Star whose greatest feat was batting .401 in 1930 (to date, he is the last player to hit over .400 in the National League). In 1933, Terry was a player-manager, succeeding Hall of Famer John McGraw in the role of team manager. . Photograph.

The leaflet described the advantages of the two products and their superiority over other similar inventions, including the ability to fold the tent and store it in a 1 x 1 x 6 ft. box for easy transportation. Despite the superlatives, a curious little note at the bottom of pp. 3 announced: "The proprietor wishes to dispose of the right for New England to control Clothes Dryer, and of the other states, both the Tent and the Dryer. Address the Patentee at Boston." Perhaps, the inventions were not quite as magical, as they were portrayed to be...

Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania: Red Tower Books, 2023. Reprint. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 6x1x9. Reprint. Light stain along bottom edge of boards and jacket - does not affect pages. 2023 Hard Cover. 623 pp. Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is - unless she betrays the man she loves. Although Violet's body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else's, she still has her wits―and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules. But a determination to survive won't be enough this year. Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College―and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
