Near Fine
Description
New York: Ballantine Books, Inc, 1953. First edition. Near Fine. First hardback edition, signed limited issue, number 73 of 200 copies signed by the author and specially bound in Johns-Manville Quinterra, a textile made from chrysotile asbestos and therefore fire resistant. The hardback edition was published in the trade and signed limited issues shortly after the novel's publication in the less desirable paperback format. A Near Fine copy. Original white Johns-Manville Quinterra asbestos over boards, spine and front cover lettered in red. Some rubbing to the front board and the spine gently toned. Very clean throughout. A fresh copy of a book that is very difficult to find in attractive condition. Housed in a custom clamshell case. Often interpreted as a comment on the political climate of McCarthyism, Ray Bradbury's most famous work paints a dystopian future where books are banned - and burned. Bradbury workshopped the novel for years, developing the world of Fahrenheit 451 in earlier incarnations including "Long After Midnight," the earliest version of the story, and "The Fireman," the 25,000-word prototype novella that he eventually expanded into the full novel. In a contemporary review in The Chicago Sunday Tribune, writer August Derleth called the book "a savage and shockingly prophetic view of one possible future way of life...compelling." Fahrenheit 451 appears on the New York Public Library's list of books of the century and won the 1954 American Academy of Letters Award in Arts and Literature. The book was later adapted into a 1966 film directed by François Truffaut, which was nominated for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Near Fine.

Description
Newburyport: Printed [by W. & J. Gilman] and sold at No. 5, Middle-street, 1810. Woodcut headpiece. Ballad text in two columns. 10-1/2 x 5-1/2. Edges rough, some staining. Old backing on verso. Good. Woodcut headpiece. Ballad text in two columns. 10-1/2 x 5-1/2. Unrecorded printing of this broadside of Robinson Crusoe in ballad form, narrating the adventures of the shipwrecked mariner in ten stanzas with repeated burden "Oh poor Robinson Crusoe" and refrain "Tink a ting tang". The parrot, Crusoe's thrift, and his man Friday all figure in this song. First published in 1719, Defore's work soon caught the popular imagination. Sheridan wrote a harlequinade for the London stage in 1781, and this song dates from the late 1790s. According to Iona and Peter Opie, "Jack Cussans, vagabond and singer", wote the song and performed at the Royal Circus and Sadler's Wells "with universal applause" (citing sheet music dated to 1797). The song appeared in The American Mock-bird (1801) and other songsters. In the Isaiah Thomas Ballads at AAS, there is a song sheet dated [Boston 1810-14]. There is one imprint from W. & J. Gilman with this street number dated 1807 (others, 1808-10, record only Middle street). They were at 4 Middle street in 1805-6, and moved to Federal street after a fire in Newburyport in 1811.
