Description
1926. VIRGIL. Les Eclogues de Virgile. Texte Latin et Traduction Francaise de Marc Laforgue imprimees par Harry de Kessler. With 43 woodcut engravings by Aristide Maillol, initials and title-page designed by Eric Gill. Large 4to. Loose in the original wrappers and publisher's vellum-backed folding case. Leipzig: Cranach Presse, 1926. First Edition, one of only 250 copies printed in French. There were also editions in English and German. Joseph Blumenthal writes: "A Cranach Presse monument is, surely, the Virgil Eclogues of 1926 with woodcuts by Aristide Maillol, with a title page and initial letters by Eric Gill, a roman type cut under the direction of Emery Walker, and an italic by Edward Johnston. The paper was made by hand by Maillol's nephew at Monval near Paris. The book is a fine classical setting with harmonious relations between type, paper, and the exquisite illustrations." Although best-known as one of the greatest sculptors of the twentieth century, Maillol was a prolific book illustrator, and the Virgil is certainly his major work in this medium. An immaculate copy without any of the foxing which mars many copies. Ransom 163 ("landmark of the movement"). Müller-Krumbach 40 (reproducing both binding and title-page). Art of the Printed Book, p. 38 and plate 110. Artist and the Book 172. Rewald, The Woodcuts of Maillol 8-53. Evan Gill, no. 328.

Description
San Francisco: The Arion Press, 2010. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New. Hamilton, William. Octavo, 9 by 6 inches, 300 pages. The type is Bruce Old Style, in Monotype composition by Mackenzie & Harris, with handset Greco Bold and Greco Adornado for display. The images were printed from photopolymer plates. The paper is Mohawk Superfine. The binding, done in-house, is machine-sewn, in full cloth silk-screened in three colors with the Cuban flag and a spine title. The endpapers have a drawing by Hamilton. Edition of 300 numbered copies, plus 26 lettered copies hors de commerce. Graham Green (1904-1991) was a major English writer, the author of more than twenty-five novels, although he preferred to call books like "Our Man in Havana" "entertainments". Yet this "high comic mayhem", as Christopher Buckley calls it, has endured as an important work of literature, timeless in its skepticism about the competence of the intelligence community. The motion picture based on the novel, starring Alec Guinness and Burl Ives, is so hilariously true to the story that viewers turn into readers. William Hamilton, a prolific "New Yorker" magazine cartoonist, had already illustrated the Arion edition of "Tartuffe" (no. 68) when he accepted the assignent to add visual amusement to this book. Please note that this title is now out of print, other than a sole remaining display copy, which we offer here. While this copy was likely used for disply on occasion, and is marked "Display III" at the colophon, it is in appearance fine, clean and without wear. ___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.

Description
n.p.: The Fantod Press, 1990. First and Limited Edition. Wraps. Fine. Gorey, Edward. First separate printing, no. 3 of 500 copies, oblong sixmo size, 32 pp., signed by Edward Gorey at the colophon as "Mrs. Regera Dowdy" Edward St. John Gorey (1925-2000) is well-known and well-loved for his poisonously funny picture books which are complex, humorous, serious, and provocative. This work, "The Stupid Joke", is the first separate printing of the story which was first published in "Dark Forces" (in 1980, edited by Kirby McCauley), and would subsequently be reprinted in "Amphigorey Also". The story revolves around a young boy named Friedrich who "One winter morning...woke With an idea for a joke". The joke was....well, let us say...unfortunate for Friedrich. All of the names in the subtitle (which in the book are the first page of text, almost serving as a "title page") are spoofs; Gorey has signed this book at the colophon using one of the names, "Mrs. Regera Dowdy", being one of the many anagrams he used. ___DESCRIPTION: Stapled binding in illustrated black over grey cardstock wraps, the first page of text being "spoof" names, the story unfolds with two lines of text on the versos and the corresponding Gorey monochrome illustrations on the facing rectos, colophon printed on the recto of the rear wrap with the limitation number of "3" written by Gorey, his signature below signing as "Mrs Regera Dowdy"; oblong sixmo size (5" tall by 6" wide), unpaginated with sixteen leaves (thirty-two pages). ___CONDITION: Fine; the wraps are clean and without edgewear, the stapled binding is strong, the staples have not rusted, the interior is clean and bright, and it is entirely free of prior owner markings; clean, crisp, as new. ___CITATION: Toledano A100. ___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.

Description
Large 8vo, leather without boards, with gilt title on front cover, illustrated, 900 pp. Spine almost completely gone, covers worn and torn, and not that securely attached to book, a couple of signatures are a bit loose, normal aging; still a decent copy. Automobile of America books from this period are rather scarce, and often in poor condition. This book is the New York and Canada edition, and it is loaded with many attractive ads for resorts, with some in color. There are also a good number of maps, including those for Rochester, the Adirondacks, Lakewood, New Jersey, and a couple of folding maps of New York. The hotel and tour ads for upstate New York and New Jersey are really nice, and provide a historic view on what vacationing was likw early in the last century.
