Description
San Francisco: The Arion Press, 2010. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New. Hamilton, William. Octavo, 9 by 6 inches, 300 pages. The type is Bruce Old Style, in Monotype composition by Mackenzie & Harris, with handset Greco Bold and Greco Adornado for display. The images were printed from photopolymer plates. The paper is Mohawk Superfine. The binding, done in-house, is machine-sewn, in full cloth silk-screened in three colors with the Cuban flag and a spine title. The endpapers have a drawing by Hamilton. Edition of 300 numbered copies, plus 26 lettered copies hors de commerce. Graham Green (1904-1991) was a major English writer, the author of more than twenty-five novels, although he preferred to call books like "Our Man in Havana" "entertainments". Yet this "high comic mayhem", as Christopher Buckley calls it, has endured as an important work of literature, timeless in its skepticism about the competence of the intelligence community. The motion picture based on the novel, starring Alec Guinness and Burl Ives, is so hilariously true to the story that viewers turn into readers. William Hamilton, a prolific "New Yorker" magazine cartoonist, had already illustrated the Arion edition of "Tartuffe" (no. 68) when he accepted the assignent to add visual amusement to this book. Please note that this title is now out of print, other than a sole remaining display copy, which we offer here. While this copy was likely used for disply on occasion, and is marked "Display III" at the colophon, it is in appearance fine, clean and without wear. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell. Please contact us with any questions you may have, we are here to help.

Description
Large 8vo, leather without boards, with gilt title on front cover, illustrated, 900 pp. Spine almost completely gone, covers worn and torn, and not that securely attached to book, a couple of signatures are a bit loose, normal aging; still a decent copy. Automobile of America books from this period are rather scarce, and often in poor condition. This book is the New York and Canada edition, and it is loaded with many attractive ads for resorts, with some in color. There are also a good number of maps, including those for Rochester, the Adirondacks, Lakewood, New Jersey, and a couple of folding maps of New York. The hotel and tour ads for upstate New York and New Jersey are really nice, and provide a historic view on what vacationing was likw early in the last century.
