The deluxe edition includes a previously unpublished poem by Huxley dedicated to his first wife Maria. Aun Aprendo: A Comprehensive Bibliography of the Writings of Aldous Leonard Huxley is the culmination of over twenty years of research, fact-finding, and detective work undertaken by David J. Bromer. "Aun Aprendo," which means "Still Learning" in Spanish, was the title of a commencement speech that Huxley gave at the progressive Happy Valley School in California in 1951.

Description:
Chicago: Agnes M. Kelley, 1943. (14)pp. A dance card book for the St. Rita High School Senior Prom of 1943, which featured a performance by Russ Morgan's Orchestra. The book has been signed by both Russ Morgan and by Frank Sinatra. The prom took place just a few months after Sinatra's historic performance at the Paramount Theater in New York City, which kicked off the "Sinatra Riots" and launched him into stardom. His engagement was extended at the Paramount, and he was much in demand through 1943, but in May he flew out to Chicago to meet Tommy Dorsey in order to sort out a contractual hold that Dorsey had on Sinatra's earnings. Sinatra might have known Russ Morgan through Dorsey, as both had collaborated with Dorsey in the past. Morgan had a regular engagement at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago, the venue for St. Rita's prom, but it is unclear what brought Sinatra to the event. Ring-bound in wooden boards, with tasseled string and "RHS" stamped in gold to upper cover. First leaf detached and…

Berlin: Tyslander Pres, 1989. Furtwangler, Felix M.. Octavo. (60)pp. One of forty deluxe copies issued with a separate color woodblock print, signed by the artist, Felix M. Furtwangler, both on the colophon and on the print. Furtwangler's disturbing woodcuts, brash in their direct confrontation with violence and raw in their emotion, underscore the desperate pleas for humanity in Armin T. Wegner's verses. An eyewitness to increasing injustices and their eventual peak in the Armenian Genocide, Wegner composed these poems between 1909 and 1913. Though a pacifist, Wegner served in World War I as a nurse, and during that time published the collection. His Berlin publisher was sued, and Wegner himself considered the suit an act of revenge against his calls for justice for the Armenian people and his confrontation with the German-Turkish alliance. His continued distress over the massacre of Armenians led him to eventually write to President Woodrow Wilson and to spend his career demanding recognition for…

Berlin: Einhorn-Presse, 1927. Lechter, Melchior. Tall quarto. (24)pp. From an edition of 600 copies, this is one of only five printed on vellum and with text calligraphed by Melchior Lechter. In addition to writing the text, Lechter also designed the book, including initial letters of gold backed with green leather and onlaid to the pages, and the decorated borders, which are printed in gold and bear printed almond-shaped medallions at their lower sections. These medallions, reminiscent of the iconographic mandorla, each show a distinct mystical design, incorporating symbols and imagery from a variety of Eastern and Western faith traditions, along with other esoteric elements. The book is not shy about the Theosophical overtures of its tale or of its author; it begins and concludes with Hindu lettering in gold, as well as, on the final page, a six-pointed star with four rays suffused with Buddhist symbology, its basic floral outline mirrored in the gold borders. The story itself is an allegorical…

Paris: A. Bedelet, 1863. Oblong 16mo. (13)ff. After an engraved title page, which in twelve miniatures prefaces the inventions subsequently mentioned, and an alternate lithographed title page printed on the verso of the following sheet, each page shows two side-by-side tinted lithographs, with titles above and captions below. The twenty-two total illustrations depict important mechanical inventions in Europe, from the creation of musical notation in 1022, to the electric telegraph in 1850. Cleverly, each image incorporates its date of discovery into the composition itself. For example, in the illustration of the introduction of paved roads in Paris, two columns stand as 11, two round stained glass windows create an 8, and the eaves of neighboring houses form a 5, to give the date 1185. Other highlighted discoveries include the invention of rag-paper by "Arabes" (the Chinese are mentioned in the caption as another possible inventor; regardless this is the text's only mention of non-Western…

Santa Cruz, CA: Moving Parts Press, 1991. Rice, Ray. Quarto. (44)pp. One of 70 copies, signed by the author, Francisco X. Alarcón. Forty pen-and-ink drawings by Ray Rice, in his second collaboration with his daughter, Felicia Rice, printer and proprietor of Moving Parts Press, are at once abstract, fractural, and familiar. Literally and emotionally, they underscore Alarcón's fourteen homoerotic sonnets, which are reminiscent of those produced by Federico García Lorca in his suppressed collection, "Sonnets of Dark Love." Like Lorca, Alarcón reimagines the sonnet form to explore earthly loves and to bear out the emotion, turmoil, and beauty of queer desire, especially stark and beautiful against the typical machismo expected of men. Alarcón's verses are presented bilingually, with translations by poet Adrienne Rich and Francisco Aragon, a Lorca translator and scholar. In 1992, AIGA selected this edition as one of the fifty best designed books in the United States. Felicia Rice's Press has…
