Description
12 folding leaves. 8vo, orig. patterned wrappers, orig. block-printed title label on upper cover, new stitching. Tokyo: Shosanodo shoten, 1909. First edition of the catalogue of a part of the library of the famous Shoheizaka Gakumonjo school, which was located in what is today Ueno Park. The school had its origins as a private Confucian temple, constructed by Razan Hayashi (1583-1657), but was turned into a state-run school under the direct control of the bakufu in 1797, following the Kansei Edict. The school, an official academy of the Tokugawa shogunate, produced many outstanding leaders. The catalogue describes 64 titles printed in 667 volumes, chiefly devoted to Chinese studies, printed at the academy before its closure in 1871, following the Meiji Restoration. Title, number of volumes, author, and year are given. Tetsunosuke Tomita (1835-1916), the prominent banker and governor of Tokyo, found the woodblocks of these 64 publications and issued the present book to record their existence. Fine copy and rare.

A fine copy in dust jacket which is very slightly rubbed
Description
London: William Heinemann, 1922. First edition. One of 500 copies printed. The first collected edition of Rosenberg's work, preceded by several rare pamphlets published prior to his death at the front in World War I. Rosenberg was one of the great literary losses of the Great War, along with Wilfred Owen and Edward Thomas, although, had he survived, he might have proved to be an even greater painter. His poems "Break of Day in the Trenches", "Louse Hunting" and "Dead Man's Dump", which are collected here, are classics of the literature of war. A fine copy in dust jacket which is very slightly rubbed. 8vo, frontispiece portrait, original black cloth with printed label on the spine, dust jacket. A fine copy in dust jacket which is very slightly rubbed.

Description
Monmouthshire: The Old Stile Press, 2006. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Reddick, Peter. Number III of X special edition copies (total edition 200), quarto size, [60] pp., signed by the artist and author. As explained in the Press's description: "The first 'poem-by-way-of-a-preface' implies that this book is a three-way collaboration of the words (the poet's) and the image (the engraver's) and the space between (the printer/designer). On this occasion, it is not just one art form responding to another. Sometimes a poem responded to a visual image, sometimes vice versa; many pages are more collaborative still, with a sketch from one prompting a draft from the other, worked up to a finished picture and redrafted poem once the printer's hand has set them in their space. Poppies, trees, fire, natural forms all excite the different forms of expression found here. Peter Reddick was, for many years, one of the most highly regarded of British wood engravers and his work has appeared in many Penguin books, those of the Folio Society and Limited Editions Club, New York. He has inspired students not only in Glasgow and Bristol but further afield in Ghana and he was the founder of Spike Island, the lively Bristol Printmaking studio. Philip Gross is a renowned poet and successful writer of thrilling and challenging novels for young people, of plays, science fiction and radio short stories. ' . . he should be recognized as one of England's very best poets . . . for the exuberance of his imagination." ___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter brown cloth and printed paper-covered boards with detail from one of the engravings, tan endpapers, double-spread title page with one illustration, 30 engravings using boxwood and various other surfaces printed directly from the blocks; Spectrum type, Zerkall Halbmatt paper, quarto size (10.5" by 7.75"), [60] pp., limited edition, this number III of X special edition copies from a total edition of 200, signed by the artist and author. The special edition copies are accompanied by a cloth portfolio containing a packet of five engravings (four from the book and one that does not appear in the book), printed by the artist on Japanese paper, titled, numbered and signed by him; and a second packet housing five poems (again, including one not in the book) handwritten on fine paper by the poet and signed by him. All are housed in a fall-down-back case covered with rust-red cloth, small illustration as a paste-down on the front, lined with rust-red suede. ___CONDITION: Fine; crisp, clean, as new and free of prior owner markings; in a like case. ___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.
