Royal Books (United States)
Description
London: George Allen and Unwin, 1952. First UK Edition, preceding all others. Tremendous association copy, INSCRIBED by author and director Lindsay Anderson to noted Czech-British filmmaker Karel Reisz, with a quote from the film: "Karel and Julia / from Lindsay / Woman: as a warning / Louis: as a lesson / Secret People E. 13." A remarkable and extremely detailed breakdown of the classic 1952 British film noir, "The Secret People," directed by Thorold Dickinson. Anderson, here in the role of film historian, was a prominent figure of the Free Cinema and British New Wave movements as a filmmaker and film critic, later directing films such as "If..." (1968), which won the Palme d'Or in 1969, "O Lucky Man!" (1973), and "Britannia Hospital" (1982). Anderson and Reisz co-founded the influential film criticism publication "Sequence" in 1947. Very Good plus in a Fair to Good dust jacket. Slightly cocked. Jacket has large pieces missing from the top edges, a four-inch diagonal closed tear to the rear panel, and a diagonal crease running across the bottom of the front panel.

Description
1948. Nicoll, Gordon. London: William Heinemann, (1948). Original red cloth lettered in silver, with dust jacket. First Edition of Maugham's last novel, published two months before the American one. Set in Spain during the Inquisition, it told of a crippled girl to whom the Blessed Virgin appears in a vision. She will be healed by one of three brothers, the one who has best served God. One brother is a bishop, another is a soldier, and the third is a baker. It comes as no surprise that the humble panadero succeeds in healing the girl... In the slackness of the writing, the descent into cliche, and the contrived plot devices, CATALINA betrayed Maugham's declining powers... [It] was a feeble book with which to end a fifty-year career as a novelist. [Morgan] This copy has its lettering in silver (the publisher started out using silver but finding it unsatisfactory switched to imitation gold -- "both variations were delivered to the bookshops simultaneously"). It is a fine, bright copy; the colorful jacket, with a wraparound pictorial scene by Gordon Nicoll, is nearly fine as well (spine a bit faded, front flap price-clipped). Toole Stott A67a.
