Description
London: William Heinemann, 1892. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. Scarce First Edition published posthumously. It includes a biographical sketch of Balestier written by Henry James. Wolcott Balestier was born in 1861 and died at the very young age of 30 in 1891 from Typhoid fever. Despite his brief career he became known in literary circles, in part because of his close association with Rudyard Kipling, who married Balestier's sister in 1892. Bound in the original light blue cloth with a feather design to front cover and spine. Spine is faded and there is light bumping and handling to covers, otherwise in nice condition. There is slight cracking to front hinge and cracking along some of the signatures, but the binding is tight. There is offsetting to the front and rear end pages and intermittent light foxing. The book plate of a previous owner, Chauncey Brewster Tinker has also caused a round offset to the facing end page. Tinker was a professer at Yale and a leading Boswell scholar. A previous owner or book dealer has a penciled note on the front pastedown that there were 2000 copies of this book printed, of which 620 were pulped. 188 pages plus 8 pages of ads. LIT/072109.

Description
New York: The Film Library of the Museum of Modern Art. Near Fine. (c.1962). First Edition. Stapled wraps. [nice copy, minor external soiling only, old price sticker adhered to inside front cover]. (B&W photographs) Published in conjunction with the first major American retrospective of Hawks's films, this very scarce 38-page monograph -- primarily a filmography with excerpted comments from an interview with Hawks conducted by Bogdanovich -- was the first publication (in English) to indicate that the director might be taken seriously as a film artist. This must have seemed, to many, quite an outrageous notion, given that Hawks's then-current film was the superficially trivial HATARI! -- which, whatever its virtues, was hardly the sort of work that would encourage the critical world to take you seriously. This was the second of three ground- breaking critical monographs authored by Bogdanovich for MoMA retrospectives in the early 1960s, sandwiched between those devoted to Orson Welles (1961) and Alfred Hitchcock (1963). .
