Near Fine
Description
Culver City, CA: Self Published, 1975. First Edition. Near Fine. First printing, limited issue of 150 copies. 281, [3] pp. Bound in publisher's white wraps printed in black. Near Fine with light toning and soiling to covers, small chip at head of spine, and scattering of tiny stains to upper edge of textblock. Contents very lightly toned. A scarce self-published anarchist novel. The author could only afford to print 150 copies, which he distributed gratis. Enrico Arrigoni (1894-1986) was an individualist anarchist influenced by the German philosopher Max Stirner. Arrigoni was born in Italy and began working in a factory and taking part in anarchist actions as a teenager. He fled to Switzerland during the First World War to escape the draft, then spent the next few years moving from country to country to escape police attention. Arrigoni moved to the United States in the 1920s, and apart from a stint in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War remained there for the rest of his life. He wrote in the afterword to this novel: "This book is written especially for the working class, the masses which the totalitarians are so eager to claim for their own, to show them communism doesn't mean emancipation, but total exploitation and slavery for them, under the tyrannical rule of the commissars.

London: Eyre and Spottiswoode,. One of Only Fifty Signed - Cecil Aldin at His Most Characteristic Handsomely Bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe ALDIN, Cecil Aldin, illustrator. HARE, Kenneth. Roads and Vagabonds. [London: Eyre and Spottiswoode, 1930]. Signed Limited Edition. One of only 50 numbered copies, this being no. 42, signed by both Cecil Aldin and Kenneth Hare. Large quarto (10 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches; 273 x 187 mm.). viii, 189, [1, blank] pp. Two inserted full-color plates and numerous color-tinted illustrations throughout the text. Handsomely bound ca. 1960 by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in full maroon crushed morocco, covers ruled in gilt, spine with five raised bands, elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, gilt-ruled board edges and turn-ins, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. A fine, elegant copy. A particularly charming example of Cecil Aldin's mature work, Roads and Vagabonds captures the artist's enduring fascination with the English countryside - its inns, lanes, sporting life, and gently comic rural characters. Aldin's illustrations, at once affectionate and keenly observed, helped define the visual language of early 20th-century British sporting and travel books. The limitation of just fifty signed copies places this among the scarcest of Aldin's illustrated books, seldom encountered on the market, and almost always in lesser bindings. The present example is significantly enhanced by its later binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, the great London firm associated with some of the finest decorative bindings of the modern era, here executed in a restrained but luxurious style that complements the work beautifully.

Description
New York: Harper & Bros, 1921. 315p., very good very early reprint (at least by August of 1921) in tan cloth boards. Personal inscription signed by the author and dated August 24, 1921, the year of publication. According to Zempel, 1920s books from Harper & Bros must state first edition. This does not. However, the date of the inscription makes it very early, likely a second. San Francisco novel, a serious piece of fiction concerning the city's underclass. The inscription is a curious one, reading "To Mary Isobel / in some trepidation and / craving her in[g]ulgence / from" [signed in full]. Sounds as if Mary Isobel provided material for the book, which Dobie has manipulated.
