First Printing. A remarkable copy of the UK first edition. Red cloth with gilt decoration to the upper cover and gilt titles at the spine. 7.5" x 5". pp 156 with Moomins Gallery at the rear. In fabulous clean condition, covers immaculate and free from owner names etc. The book is tight and square with a bump to the front cover at the lower corner (remaining corners sharp) and very minor push at the foot of the spine which is just very slightly colour-faded. Nevertheless the best-condition copy of this title I have seen in many years. Sadly lacking the dustjacket but to compensate, at the half-title Tove Jansson's autograph signature has been pasted in - provenance for the signature is established. A rare opportunity to acquire a Signed Ernest Benn Moomins first edition.

New York, Grove Press, 2022, trade paperback, 272 pp, Advance Uncorrected Proof (ARC), New. Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
