Seller: Brenner's Collectable Books

Title: The Ransom For London
Author: Fletcher, J.S. (Joseph Smith)
Seller: Brenner's Collectable Books (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: New York: Lincoln MacVeigh/The Dial Press, 1929. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. 8vo., 306pp. Beautiful First US Edition of this classic bibliomystery thriller about the threat of the destruction of London by lethal gas. The Prime Minister, a book collector, who visits rare bookstores to receive instructions from the criminals. Originally published in the UK in 1914, perhaps foreshadowing the horrors that gas attacks would inflict during the First World War. Bound in tan cloth with titles in black. Square, tight and clean throughout save a few spots on the title page but quite trivial. No toning to pages to speak of. Some gentle bumping to spine ends. Small, neat ownership name and date on the front end-paper. Stunning unclipped dust-jacket, ($2.00), has a faint shadow on the top front edge but is remarkably fresh and bright with no chipping, creases or tears. Finding copies with the original wrapper is extremely difficult, particularly in this high grade condition. A simply gorgeous collectable copy. (Hubin, p.145; Penzler, Bibliomysteries, p. 51).

Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA

Title: Vertigo: A Novel in Woodcuts
Author: Ward, Lynd
Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: New York: Random House, 1937. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Lynd Ward. [490 pp. 230 wood engravings.] Octavo [21.5 cm]; full dark blue cloth with spiral and star illustrations. Extremities moderately rubbed. Some light toning around edges of the pastedowns and flyleaves (as is commonly seen in this work). Contemporary owner's name and date neatly written in black ink on the front free endpaper. A Very Good copy; clean, square, and tightly bound. With the scarce dust jacket. Surface of the jacket's spine chipped, with a small loss obscuring just a little of the title. Edges a bit chipped and rubbed. 3/4" closed tear to top edge of rear panel. Considered one of Lynd Ward's finest works, "Vertigo" is the sixth and final of his “wordless novels,” and is told in 230 beautiful and striking woodcut images. The narrative takes place during the Great Depression and explores themes of greed, love, despair, and death, through the progression of three characters: a young woman, a young man, and an ailing capitalist. Ward produced his six wordless novels (proto-“graphic novels”) between 1929 and 1937, and although he continued to be an in-demand illustrator for the rest of his life, these early works show him at the height of his creative powers.

A wonderful studio portrait of a distinguished African-American woman in a stunning black dress. The woman bears a striking resemblance to Ida B. Wells, but we do not ultimately think it is her.
