Description:
London and New York: Macmillan and Co, 1888. Second edition, American issue. 184 x 127 mm. (7 1/4 x 5"). 2 p.l., 229, [1] pp. Publisher's original blue cloth with gilt titling and decoration. Half title with ink ownership inscription, "Kate D. Wilson, Jan. 26th, 189[0]." Front pastedown with bookplate inscribed "Capt. James Hart, Baltimore, 26 Feb. [19]46." BAL 10583; Edel A-31b. ◆Spine slightly rolled, tiny snag at top of backstrip and one at bottom, light rubbing to small portions of the joints and extremities, but still a nearly fine copy, the cloth and gilt especially bright, the hinges solid, and the text with virtually no signs of use. Like many of James' novels, "The Reverberator" chronicles the adventures and misadventures of American innocents abroad. It opens with the visit to Paris of two young sisters who give an unfortunately forthright interview to a reporter working for "The Reverberator." The novel is one of the author's lighter works, with plenty of romance thrown in, and it is… Read More

Publisher's original cream-colored paper boards, embossed to resemble a 15th century binding. In the original blue buckram dust jacket. ◆Faint spot of foxing to upper board, one leaf with short tear at head edge, otherwise a very fine copy in close to original condition. This copy of the will of famed Venetian printer Nicolas Jenson (1420-80) was printed in Ernst Detterer's "Nicolas Jenson" typeface, designed to replicate as closely as possible Jenson's original roman type. Detterer studied calligraphy with Edward Johnston, and taught printing history and typography at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he founded the Printing Arts Department. His "Nicolas Jenson" type was designed in 1923, and he and his former pupil R. Hunter Middleton expanded it into the type family "Eusebius" in 1941.

This is the first printing of Joyce's masterpiece actually to be done in Ireland--75 years after its initial publication. Generally recognized as the most important 20th-century novel in English, Joyce's chronicle of Leopold Bloom's odyssey through Dublin excited much controversy upon publication in 1922 and was for years a target of censorship, especially in the U.S. and U.K. The present edition also met with some animosity when it was discovered that the editor, prominent Joyce scholar Danis Rose, used some language… Read More

Wing J-1159; ESTC R695. ◆First two quires with top corner slightly gnawed away (no text affected), top edge trimmed a little close (grazing a few running titles), trio of small stains on title page, other very occasional minor blemishes and a hint of foxing on a few pages, but still an excellent copy even in its disbound state, very clean and quite bright, with none of the browning or heavy foxing often seen in similar works. This seems to be the only edition of the only play penned by writer and Catholic convert William Joyner (alias Lyde, ca. 1622-1706). ESTC notes that it was "Based upon the story of Constantine the Great and his son Crispus," and DNB adds that "it was well received.".

Text printed in red and black. ◆In mint condition.In this jubilant exploration of faith and community, prominent Jewish artist and émigré Chaim Gross (1902-91) presents a joyful mix of animated figures, bright colors, and decorative lettering in a series of lithographs illustrating the 10 holiest days of the Jewish calendar. Displaced from his small village in the Carpathian Mountains during the First World War, Gross in 1921 immigrated to America, where he studied at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New York. He specialized in sculpture and printmaking, employing the method of direct carving he helped pioneer and for which he would predominantly be known. Following the Second World War, Gross became increasingly interested in Jewish subjects, and travelled to Israel… Read More

[New York: Johnstone & Van Norden], March 5583 [1823]. FIRST EDITION. 252 x 148 mm. (10 x 5 7/8"). 18 pp. Unbound as issued, UNCUT AND UNOPENED sheets held together by a single stitch. ◆A couple of small brown stains affecting first four leaves, minor foxing, final leaf with small triangle missing from fore-edge margin, short tear at gutter margin (touching text but no loss), and four small holes in the lower third (no loss), fore edges a little frayed, but a very good, never-opened copy of an extremely fragile item. This is an unread copy of the first issue of the first Jewish periodical to be printed in the United States, a work aimed at counteracting the efforts of a missionary society to convert Jews to Christianity--and a remarkable survival, given its fragility. Editor (and author of much of the text) Solomon Henry Jackson (d. 1847) emigrated from England to Pennsylvania before settling in New York City in the 1820s. There, he established a press that used both Hebrew and English fonts to… Read More
