Title: Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Three Tenant Families
Author: AGEE, James & Walker EVANS
Seller: James S. Jaffe Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Dust jacket price clipped and very slightly rubbed, otherwise an exceptionally fine copy, with none of the fading that invariabl
Description: Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1941. First edition of "one of the great photography books of the 20th century - but one that languished on the trash heap for almost a quarter of a century before being recognized by the public. . . . The book juxtaposes Walker Evans's straightforward black-and-white documents, most of them portraits, with Agee's heated, often stream-of-consciousness text. Together these two viewpoints provide a glimpse into the 'cruel radiance' of life in the Deep South during the Depression, a complex vision of the poverty, the dignity, the love, and pain of the sharecroppers' existence." Roth, The Book of 101 Books, p. 17; Parr and Badger, The Photobook Volume 1, p.144. No figures are available as to the size of this edition, but one can safely assume not more than 1500 were probably printed. Published at the beginning of World War II, the book was received with indifference and sold only about 600 copies the first year, after which it was remaindered for nineteen cents. Dust jacket price clipped and very slightly rubbed, otherwise an exceptionally fine copy, with none of the fading that invariably mars the dust jacket on this book; preserved in a custom-made half-morocco slipcase. Extremely rare in this condition. 8vo, illustrated with photographs by Walker Evans, original black cloth, dust jacket. Dust jacket price clipped and very slightly rubbed, otherwise an exceptionally fine copy, with none of the fading that invariably mars the dust jacket on this book; preserved in a custom-made half-morocco slipcase.

With 40 photographs of the authors whose signatures appear, plus an additional 55 photos of signatures from other authors and public figures. SIGNED BY 41 AUTHORS. Essentially as new. An autograph collector's delight, this unusual fine press production is perhaps of importance mainly as the vehicle for the first printing of an essay by Stephen King on autograph collecting (signed by King, of course). In addition, the book features the signatures of 41 important figures, including (alphabetically) John Barth, Ray Bradbury, Harry Crews, Gerald R. Ford, Jim Harrison, Tony Hillerman, Ursula LeGuin, Elmore Leonard, Norman Mailer, Joyce Carol Oates, Reynolds Price, Anne Tyler, John Updike, and Eudora Welty. The Lord John Press was founded in 1978 by Herbert Yellin (1935-2014) with the purpose of publishing modern authors in signed, limited editions. Yellin had long been a collector of books and autographs before he became a publisher, and he kept his collector's sensibility as a publisher, always concerned with excellent printing, and, of course, with signatures..

Seller: The Kelmscott Bookshop (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Claremont, CA: Aleatory Press, 1970. Very Good. This is a very early and scarce work by noted book artist, Barry McCallion. Mr. McCallion has had a lengthy career in the book arts following his graduation from Columbia and move to the west coast for a period of time. His work can be found in many institutional and private collections. His career has been documented in a fine article by Mark Segal in the East Hampton Star in 2013: "A Springs Artist's Creative Odyssey." In the article, Segal also writes extensively about Mr. McCallion's "astonishingly beautiful and utterly unique books," saying "they use an impressive range of materials and techniques. ... It's difficult to do justice to the variety and complexity of the books in words or in photographs. They are ideally experienced by hefting and opening the boxes and exploring the contents in what becomes a very personal exploration of an artwork." This is the original first publication of Mr. McCallion's interesting and somewhat mysterious book. It was later published again by the ABYSS Publications. The text is a series of questions and comments about art and life. Bound in bright yellow paper covers with a white cloth spine. The front cover has the title and a design of dark and white circles. The staples attaching the book to the spine show through the spine, otherwise book is in very good plus condition. Measures 8.5 x 13 inches. Unpaginated. [12 pages printed on rectos only] PRI/121624.
