( US$)

Seller: James S. Jaffe Rare Books LLC

Title: Poem
Author: BISHOP, Elizabeth
Seller: James S. Jaffe Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Housed in a custom green cloth clamshell box with a black morocco spine label
Description: New York: The Phoenix Book Shop, 1973. First edition, one of the author's copies from the lettered issue. Copy "L" (presumably chosen for "Loren") of 26 lettered copies (out of a total edition of 126) signed by Bishop on the colophon. This copy bears Bishop's presentation inscription: "For Loren MacIver & Lloyd Frankenberg - love, Elizabeth Bishop" on the title-page. Laid in is an exceptionally interesting TLS from Bishop to MacIver and Frankenberg concerning the publication of Poem: "I've always disliked ‘pretty little books' like this - However, Bill Ferguson, the printer, is a friend of mine here & he wanted to do it for some time & so I finally gave in. (The Phoenix Book Shop man is quite another type...) And since they have just arrived, or were here when I got back - I'm sending you one of my copies with a real, EXTRA signature - whee! You can sell it for a small sum if need be sometime - Love, Elizabeth". The artist Loren MacIver was a longtime friend and correspondent of Bishop's and contributed the dust jacket design for Bishop's second collection, Poems North & South - A Cold Spring, in 1955. Their friendship dates from as early as 1938, at which time Bishop was writing to Marianne Moore from MacIver's Provincetown summer home. The poet and literary critic Lloyd Frankenberg, who married MacIver in 1929, wrote critical studies of Bishop 1946 and 1949 which are among the earliest appraisals of Bishop's work. A superb association copy. Important association copies of Bishop's books are rare; this is one of the very few we have seen or handled. Housed in a custom green cloth clamshell box with a black morocco spine label. Oblong small 8vo, original string-tied unprinted stiff wrappers, marbled outer wrapper, printed paper label. Housed in a custom green cloth clamshell box with a black morocco spine label.

Title: Frank Capra: The Tenth Annual American Film Institute Life Achievement Award, March 4, 1982 [event program/tribute book]
Author: {Capra, Frank} [The American Film Institute] (McBride, Joseph, ed.)
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: [Washington DC]: The American Film Institute. Near Fine. 1982. Stapled wraps. [a small amount of wear along the spine, otherwise nice and fresh, just about as new]. (B&W photographs) Nicely-done program/tribute book, largely photographic, from Capra's Life Achievement Award dinner; includes filmography. It's interesting to note that the tribute book's editor (also the co-author of the tribute itself) was Joseph McBride, who some years later published a highly critical biography of Capra. NOTE that this would appear to be the "public" version of the program, with Capra pictured on the front cover, that was produced for sale and/or distribution to AFI members; the program distributed at the dinner itself, following the pattern of earlier years, had a silver-on-silver cover featuring only the AFI logo). Nonetheless, along with most of these programs prior to 1986 -- the first time a specifically-labeled "AFI Souvenir Edition" was produced in large quantities -- this one is fairly scarce.] .
