THE LAST GENTLEMAN

by Percy, Walker

  • Used
New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1966. Narrow quarto. Plastic comb bound printed wrappers, with authorship ascription on upper wrapper in ink. Some occasional creasing and nicks at corners, but a very good copy. Uncorrected proofs of the first edition of the author's second book. An excellent association copy of this uncommon proof, with Paul Horgan's bookplate, as well as his scattered annotations in the text and occasional marginal commentary. Given that Percy and Horgan were the most widely read American Catholic novelists of their generation, this is an important association copy.

We have 108 copies available starting at A$8.14.

London, United Kingdom: Faber and Faber, 1989 UNCORRECTED ADVANCE PROOF BOUND COPY for the cased and paperback editions (actually copied by Faber from corrected page proofs). Prepublication first edition. [Probable publication date: 18 September 1989.] 55pp. Green soft cover. Clean text pages. "Wolfwatching" was Hughes' 14th collection of poetry - he digs deeply into his own childhood and his family history, as well as writing about nature's violence and the meaning he finds in it. Included in the collection is the poem "The Black Rhino" written for the purpose of raising funds to save this endangered animal. The Library Journal considered reading Wolfwatching was "like visiting a zoo envisioned by Hieronymus Bosch: we're caught between fright and fascination". He was married to the American poet Sylvia Plath until her death in 1963. Ted Hughes is considered one of England's finest modern poets - winning the Whitbread Book of the Year in two… Read More
