Description
1932. [1 of 725 signed copies] Florence: G. Orioli, 1932. Original light blue boards with cream cloth spine, with dust jacket. First Separate Edition, issued as No. 9 in Orioli's "Lungarno Series," limited to 725 numbered copies (this being #234) signed by Maugham on the frontispiece portrait. This tale has a strange history. Maugham had submitted it to Cosmopolitan years earlier, but its editor Ray Long rejected it because he feared readers would be offended by the subject matter (incest between British adult brother and sister in Malaya; the ending is vaguely reminiscent of Conrad's "Oh the horror!" in "Heart of Darkness"). In 1932, Long decided to publish an anthology of the twenty best stories he had published in Cosmopolitan, and decided (with Maugham's acquiescence) to include "The Book-Bag." Three months after Long's anthology, this Florence edition came out -- by Orioli, the publisher who took on tales by D.H. Lawrence and others which were considered too risqué by the UK publishers. (Toole Stott points out that ultimately, Ray Long indirectly lost his life due to Maugham: after reading The Moon and Sixpence, Long decided that he too would become an artist in the South Pacific, left his career (in his fifties) to do just that, and subsequently committed suicide there when he realized he had no talent.) This is a fine copy, unusually clean (very faint fading of the light blue); the dust jacket is near-fine as well (spine slightly sunned, a mere trace of edge-wear, one short piece of tape on the verso). Toole Stott A43b.

Description
New York: Firth, Pond & Co, 1851. Folio sheet music, illustrated tinted lithographic cover by Sarony & Major. 5 pp. (including cover). Approximately 13 x 10 inches. Light toning and minor edge wear; archival tape to spine, likely removed from a volume at some point, very good overall.. A particularly handsome illustrated edition of Stephen C. Foster’s sentimental ballad “Willie, My Brave,” featuring an elaborate tinted lithographic cover by the New York firm of Sarony & Major. The central image depicts a seated woman gazing out toward the sea while a greyhound rests its head upon her lap, conveying the melancholy theme of absence and waiting suggested by the song. Surrounding vignettes include dramatic maritime scenes, with a ship struggling in rough waters and another vessel sailing toward a distant harbor. The dog is especially well done, while the accompanying ship in a storm drives home the point of the song. Among Foster’s many illustrated title pages, this example is often considered one of the most attractive. According to William H. Fuld’s Pictorial Bibliography of First Editions of Stephen Foster (1957), the present example meets all points for the first edition, initial state. The song itself enjoyed considerable popularity in the early 1850s and appeared in numerous subsequent printings.
