Title: Living My Life
Author: [ANARCHISM] GOLDMAN, Emma
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1931. First Edition. First Printing. Two large octavo volumes (24.5cm); pale blue cloth, with titles stamped in navy blue on spines and front covers; charcoal gray topstains; dustjackets; xi,[3],4-503,[1]; [viii],[504]-993,xvipp; illus. Spines and upper board edges gently sunned, light wear to spine ends, upper board corners on Vol.1 gently tapped (though still sharp), with two small stains to lower corner of textblock on same, and a few faint, tiny stains to right edge of textblock on Vol.2; contemporary ink ownership signature of Gertrude Edelstein on the rear pastedown of each volume; Very Good+, lacking the dustjackets. First edition of Goldman's monumental autobiography, an undisputed high-spot of women's writing and one of a few truly important 20th-century radical memoirs. Goldman was reputedly furious with Knopf for issuing the book in two volumes at the height of an economic depression, and considered the publication price of $7.50 to be exorbitant. The book indeed sold poorly, despite strong reviews, and has never been common.

Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books

Title: A Widow Against the Courts
Author: [WOMEN'S HISTORY] [LAW] VAUGHN, Maria R.
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: Trenton: Privately Published, 1939. First Edition. Octavo. Gilt-decorated cloth (hardcover); 162,(2)pp. Stamped "Complimentary Copy," with presentation inscription from the author to a Samuel D. Lenox, dated November 28, 1939. Title page foxed, with scattered toning to contents; light external wear and soil; Very Good. An uncommon first-hand account by a self-professed victim of legal treachery. Mrs. Vaughn recounts her adventures with the New Jersey civil court system following the death of her husband and the challenging of the will by his children. In her epilogue, Vaughn concludes, "I wish to remind the reader that all my trouble came as the result of lawyers, for believing that they are supposed to advise one in the best way, I foolilshly relied upon them." Based on the author's somewhat obsessive tone and the trial transcripts recorded here, however, it is unclear whether it was Mrs. Vaughn, or the lawyers she hired, who had the stronger grievance. The inscribee was the principal of the prominent Trenton law firm Lenox, Giordano, Devlin, Delehey & Socey (a firm apparently not involved in any of Mrs. Vaughn's various civil actions).
