Title: Pedro Páramo [with extra print]
Author: Rulfo, Juan; Peden, Margaret Sayers (Translator); Mac Adam, Alfred (Introduction); Chagoya, Enrique (Artist)
Seller: Swan's Fine Books (United States)
Condition: New
Description: San Francisco: The Arion Press, 2016. Hardcover. New. Chagoya, Enrique. 12 by 8-1/4 inches, 152 numbered pages (by coincidence the same number of pages as the first edition) for the text and ten unnumbered signatures for the prints, consisting of a sheet folded at the fore-edge, with die-cut windows and a folded tab to tip into the sewing section and an inserted sheet of Japanese handmade paper, making three leaves, which adds six "pages" for a total of 212 pages. The paper is Italian mouldmade Magnani Ingres laid. The Japanese paper for the prints is handmade Arokaji koso washi. The type, printed by letterpress, is Kennerley Old Style, designed by Frederic W. Goudy, composed and cast in Monotype, with handset type for display. The binding is Smyth-sewn with handsewn silk endbands, with a three-piece cloth cover, green on the sides and blue on the spine, foil stamped on the sides with roundels designed by Enrique Chagoya and stamped on the spine with titling. The book is presented in a slipcase, in an edition of 300 copies for sale. Each book is signed by the artist. The extra print is entitled "Nahvi Olin", the name of the Mexican painter and poet whose head is depicted in the print. The paper is handmade Japanese Yamekoozo Hadaura It is a nine-color relief print, printed from photopolymer plates in black, blue, green, and white inks. The image size is 20-1/2 by 14 inches; the sheet size is 24 by 18 inches. Each print is signed by the artist. This edition, with the extra print, was issued in an edition of thirty copies. Juan Rulfo’s "Pedro Páramo" is a monument of Mexican literature and one of the most influential novels of the 20th century. Juan Rulfo was a photographer and a fiction writer known for his two books, "El Llano en Llamas", a collection of short stories published in 1953, and the 1955 novel "Pedro Páramo". He was born in Apulco, in the Mexican state of Jalisco, in 1918 and died in Mexico City in 1986. Gabriel García Márquez said he felt blocked as a novelist after his first four books and that it was only his life-changing discovery of "Pedro Páramo" in 1961 that allowed the composition of his masterpiece, "One Hundred Years of Solitude". Marquez noted that all of Rulfo's published writing, put together, "add up to no more than 300 pages; but that is almost as many and I believe they are as durable, as the pages that have come down to us from Sophocles". Enrique Chagoya has made ten color prints for the book. They are highly unusual in that they are printed on both sides of thin, translucent handmade Japanese paper of a tan-brown color. On the front (recto) are portraits of Mexicans from the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, printed in a dark blue, with background imagery printed in green on the other side. As Chagoya has written in his artist statement for the book, "The drawings are not an illustration of 'Pedro Páramo' because the story does not need illustrations. It is more like a visual duet, and instrument playing a counterpoint parallel to the novel." The extra print is presented in a tube with documentation on the outside. It was issued in an edition of thirty copies for sale, plus five artist proofs and five publisher proofs, all signed by the artist. ___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.

Title: PLAIN TRUTH: ADDRESSED TO THE INHABITANTS OF AMERICA. CONTAINING REMARKS ON A LATE PAMPHLET, INTITLED COMMON SENSE: WHEREIN ARE SHEWN, THAT THE SCHEME OF INDEPENDENCE IS RUINOUS, DELUSIVE, AND IMPRACTICABLE... WRITTEN BY CANDIDUS. SECOND EDITION
Author: [Chalmers, James]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: [London] Philadelphia, Printed: London, Reprinted for J. Almon, 1776. [4], 47, [1- publ. advt] pp. A Fine copy in modern quarter morocco and plain paper over boards, with gilt-lettered spine title. This is the famous response by a Maryland Loyalist to Thomas Paine's 'Common Sense'. Howes calls it the "most famous answer to Paine's advocacy for independence in 'Common Sense'." Thomas Adams's definitive study, 'Authorship and Printing of Plain Truth by Candidus,' published in Vol. 49, Papers of the Bibliographic Society of America 230-248 [1955], reviews the welter of printings, establishes that Chalmers is indeed the author, and observes, "Those who tried to oppose the ever-growing radical forces were disorganized and silent...The incoherence in both the printing and the writing of Plain Truth seems to be part of the same pattern." Candidus's Dedication to John Dickinson urges him to "exert those Talents with which Heaven has endowed you" to save America "from impending ruin, under the Syren form of delusive Independence." Chalmers claims he is "passionately devoted to true liberty," lauds the contributions of England and the British Constitution; and calls "the Pamphlet, entitled Common Sense," an illustration of the "unerring rule" that "the best Princes are constantly calumniated by the envenomed tongues and pens of the most worthless of their subjects." This is the second edition of the first British printing of "Plain Truth." Its collation is identical to the first British edition, issued earlier in 1776. Two additional sections at the end are caption-titled "Rationalis" and "Extract from the Second Letter to the People," which was a reply to Common Sense, signed "Cato." Adams, American Controversy 76-19c. Adams, American Independence 208e. Howes S696 [erroneously attributing authorship to Provost William Smith].
