1957. First Edition. Signed. MALAMUD, Bernard. The Assistant. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, (1967). Octavo, original half black cloth, original dust jacket. $1800.First edition, later printing, inscribed: “To Ruth, with affection. Bernard Malamud.""""Here Malamud develops the theme of spiritual conversion in flawless form"" (Vinson, 876). ""It is the lucidity of this story that makes it distinctive and that makes Mr. Malamud's vision shine simply throughout the stumblings and strugglings… All is kept simple, real, basic; there is the rightness that permeates this book. Yet around the simplicity of it there gathers and grows in the mind of the reader a sense of values and destinies and large truths—there is this mysterious accretion that contributes weight and size and beauty to The Assistant (New York Times). The first edition was published in 1957; this seventh printing was published in 1967. Book about-fine, with only faint foxing to endpapers. Dust jacket extremely good, with slight foxing, a bit of toning, and light wear mainly to extremities. A desirable inscribed copy.

Description
Paris: Leon Techener, 1877. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. 8vo. [4], 83 pp. Recent sympathetic wrappers, edges untrimmed (some a little frayed). Copy no. 74 of 100 numbered copies, being one of the first celebrations of 17th-century French illustrated books, published when the craze for 18th-century French illustrated books was at its apogee: "Nous aurions voulu appeler l'attention des bibliophiles sur l'ensemble des livres du dix-septième siècle, trop negliges aujourd'hui, quand ce ne sont pas des exemplaires des editions originales de nos classiques." From the introduction (translated): "We propose to describe the principal books illustrated by Sebastien Le Clerc; our focus is on Parisian imprints, and among these are the publications in which the text is particularly notable. As for the books that Le Clerc 'decorated' while he was at Metz: their description is almost impossible because these books are almost never found, except in very rare instances. We leave entirely aside that part of Sebastian's work, and assess only the works in which his prints, vignettes, headpieces, frontispieces, fleurons, and ornamental initials were executed specifically for Parisian publishers. We look to Brunet's 'Manual' for such books to be accurately described, but many of these were unknown to Brunet, or were poorly described by him. That so many are scarce is due to various causes, foremost among them being that most volumes were broken up by print collectors. [...] We want to establish that Le Clerc was a true innovator, and that he revolutionized the art of decorating books." ¶ Reprinted from the "Bulletin du Bibliophile," this work is particularly uncommon in the U.S.; only three American libraries report holdings to Worldcat (Emory, St. John's University, Univ. Michigan). From the distinguished collection of B.H. Breslauer, with his Bibliotheca Bibliographica Breslaueriana bookplate.

Description
1868. London: Pickering, 1868. Small 8vo, xiv, 112 pp. and 8 pp. of ads at the front. Original cloth, red printed paper backstrip label darkened, some pencil annotations in the text. A very good copy. Ink signature at front of Wm. C. Pritchard. ß New edition, taken largely from the 1866 edition with some slight changes, including an expanded preface and two more poems. Although a typographic issue of the Songs had appeared in 1839 and Gilchrist and Rossetti had included them in the 1863 biography, neither of those versions were faithful to Blake s original text, with Rossetti in particular standing accused of efforts at improvement . The editor of this edition (Richard Herne Shepherd) gives for the first time in accessible form the exact text of Blake s idiosyncratic engraved publications of 1789 and 1794 (only twenty-two complete copies of each of which survive) though omitting lines from Mary and from Auguries of Innocence which contained the word whore . The additional poems, two of them previously unpublished, are printed from Blake s original manuscripts. Bentley, Blake Books, 335 B.
