viii+337 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 6") bound in original publishers blue cloth with two toned brown and beige binding and green lettering to cover and brown and green lettering to spine in original jacket. Signed First editionThe bon voyage party was attended by such literary lights as the chief junior editor of Doubledeal and Wundershot, a novelist named Norman Nalifellow, and Ginny Ginstruck, the agent. Afterward the author found himself aboard the first-class ship Meyer Davis, sailing over a first-class sea. His grand tour encompassed London, Paris, Dublin, Barcelona, Seville, Almeria, Instanbul, Crete - and his hometown Chicago. This book, however, is not som much an "inside Europe" - heaven help the tourist who tried to duplicate his travel adventures - as an "Inside Nelson Algren." To be sure, there is "scenery" in these pages - London's ancestral mists, the bright, enormous mornings in the Barrio-Chino of Barcelona, the shadow of the Mountain in Greece where Zeus was born.

316+[6 ad] pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with silver lettering to spine and cover in original jacket. Has the "A" on the title verso. First edition. Wright wrote as a critic and journalist until 1923, when he became ill from what was given out as overwork, but was in reality a secret drug addiction, according to John Loughery's biography Alias S.S. Van Dine. His doctor confined him to bed (supposedly because of a heart ailment, but actually because of a cocaine addiction) for more than two years. In frustration and boredom, he began collecting and studying thousands of volumes of crime and detection. In 1926 this paid off with the publication of his first S. S. Van Dine novel, The Benson Murder Case. Wright took his pseudonym from the abbreviation of "steamship" and from Van Dine, which he claimed was an old family name. Wright wrote a series of short stories for Warner Brothers film studio in the early 1930s. These stories were used as the basis for a…

Description:
v+321 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to cover and spine. First British edition. St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
