"No less a fable for American husbands," sez the blurb, this novel looks back to the 1920s to tell the story of a young woman who is called home from Vassar when her widowed father, a Midwestern newspaper publisher, remarries, and ends up settling into a proper marriage herself with a nice young advertising man who, following the War, goes to work at her daddy's newspaper.

"The scathing and outspoken story of a minister who believed his wife's happiness was not too much to pay for his own advancement. Here is the needless tragedy of thousands of women who can neither love nor desert their husbands because they recognize their place as necessary social fixtures." The author, per the jacket blurb, was the daughter of an Episcopal minister, and was "the wife of an Army officer for fifteen years." (The husband in the book is an Army chaplain who "was 'called' from the Army to better and wealthier parishes," and was eventually revealed to be a "distraught and maladjusted man." The… Read More

Description:
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company. Very Good. 1934. First American Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . (no dust jacket) [nice tight copy with just a little shelfwear, a bit of minor surface deterioration to spine cloth, bookseller's rubber-stamped name (Bertrand Smith, Long Beach, Calif.) on front pastedown]. The second novel by this well-known English musical comedy composer-lyricist (1903-1996), who was involved with the production of many musical shows in the West End from the 1920s through the 1950s. The book is (of course) musically-themed, telling the life story of a composer, largely through accounts of the women who influenced him and his music. The settings range from Brussels in the 1880s, to Wiesbaden in the 1910s, Paris in the 1920s, and London in the 1930s, and the narrative is divided into three "movements": "Allegro Moderato," "Trio," and "Rondo." A contemporary reviewer opined that the author "handles the interests and… Read More

New York: The Macmillan Company. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1953. First Edition. Hardcover.

The astonishing madcap life of "Poker, otherwise known as Henry Mahommet Bowling, 26th Baron Bowling and 18th Earl of Tintagil," a man who possessed "the bland courage to live with all five ex-wives and fifteen children under one roof -- and manage[d] to do so, moreover, in such astonishing harmony." The Chicago Tribune reviewer thought it "one of the wittiest, most urbane novels of our time, peopled with characters who are believable and whose actions are altogether human and understandable." .

Boston: Little, Brown and Company. Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.1994). First Edition. Hardcover.

(B&W photographs) "In this spirited memoir, [the author] tells of a life lived on the edge, and offers a unique woman's look inside the male-dominated rock 'n' roll world. She reveals the shattering contradictions of life as a 'star,' first as the pop confection she was initially packaged as, and later as the hard-edged artist who coauthored 'Sister Morphine' and shocked the world with 'Broken English.' She describes life with Mick Jagger in all its early bliss and later complexity, from making love during the breaks in recording 'Between the Buttons,' through the horrors of the Redlands drug bust and her subsequent infamy as the 'girl in the fur rug,' and down to the final parting as her attachment to drugs… Read More

Description:
New York: Milton, Balch & Company. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1928. 4th printing. Hardcover. [a solid, clean copy, slight fraying to binding at spine ends; the jacket shows minor edgewear, a couple of tiny tears at the top of the rear panel, and a few nicks at the base of the spine]. Novel about a "shy, lonely, passionate girl, brought up in the Chicago of the nineties," who through "curious circumstances" ends up marrying a Russian prince, but later fleeing his estate (and the marriage) with the help of the prince's stable manager, "an attractive but déclassé Englishman." This was the second of two novels published by the author under the Gizycka name -- rather cheekily, to say the least, since she had quite messily divorced the abusive Count Gizycka years before, and all the more so because the book was a fictionalized version of that very marriage! Better known as "Cissy" Patterson, she was the sister of Joseph Medill… Read More

Description:
London: Peter Davies. Very Good+ in Good+ dj. 1946. First British Edition. Hardcover. [light shelfwear, a touch of soiling to covers, slight bump to bottom right corner of front cover; jacket torn at top of spine with some paper loss, various other small tears and nicks]. The scarce British issue of the novel which served as the basis for one of the best of Otto Preminger's early films (and a worthy follow-up to his classic LAURA). The first of five novels by this author, who apparently also dabbled in screenwriting without any notable success. (The only other film credit I've been able to uncover for her was a story credit for the 1950 noir THE FILE ON THELMA JORDON.) The movie version starred Dana Andrews, supported by Linda Darnell (sexy girl) and Alice Faye (nice girl), the latter making a sort of "comeback" (as well as a change of pace, in a non-musical role) after being absent from the screen for nearly two years. Ironically, however, it ended up being… Read More

The Minneapolis-based columnist/humorist's elusive first novel, about the " society" editor of a small-town Minnesota newspaper, whose wish for a simple life goes wildly awry, first when he inherits his great-aunt's house -- "the Minneapolis version of Mad King Ludwig's castle," complete with ancient servants and a freeloading cousin -- and then when he gets involved as the unwilling "media mouthpiece" for AIL, the Alimentary Instruction League, "a nonimperialist, nonsexist, nonracist, pronutrition radical cell dedicated to the struggle of changing America's eating habits by whatever means necessary." The organization's motto is "Eat Right or Die," and they soon hatch a plan to put plutonium… Read More

Memoir by the author of "It's Cold Out There" and "On the Yard," detailing his relentless pursuit, during the many years he spent in prison (eighteen of his first forty), of "the flaw in his character that made a hard-bitten five-time loser out of a sensitive, eloquent human being" -- and his self-transformation from criminal/convict to successful novelist. .

[bottom right corner of front cover bent and a bit dog-eared (also affecting the first several pages), slight bump and minor damage to base of spine, no other significant wear]. Trade PB (B&W photographs, ads, graphics) A "Greats of the Year" compilation, a large-format paperback featuring numerous lists -- "The Famous Ten of the Screen," "The Money-Making Stars of 1962," "The Stars of Tomorrow," "Directors of the Champion Pictures," and so on, covering both motion pictures and television. Not exactly a comprehensive reference work (for that you would want the "Screen World" volume for the corresponding year), but at the same time a great picture of just Who was considered Who at that moment in entertainment history.

(B&W photographic plates) The first of two autobiographical reminiscences by this popular author, primarily known as writer of travel books.

The titular "crisis" was basically the author's family life and business during a five-year period from 1895 to 1900, during which his father, following a run of bad luck and failed ventures in Chicago, tried to make a go of a commercial laundry establishment in Dayton, Ohio, enlisting his wife and three sons in the effort to keep it afloat in the face of various trials and tribulations (equipment malfunctions, a fire, labor union troubles). The verdict of the New York Times critic was that while "the writing is without any particular beauty or distinction, it has clarity and directness [and] presents a sufficiently vivid picture… Read More

Female-centric novel about a 70-year-old woman who hosts a skeleton-rattling family reunion, which very definitely revolves around the multiple generations of womenfolk, primarily: "her daughter-in-law Sylvia, dark and fiercely tender, whose whole life away from them is secret, and sweet to her, however precarious; the flippant, sensuous granddaughter Rosamond, who cannot be accompanied by her handsome husband because she no longer lives with him; another granddaughter, Harriet, beautiful and pure and strangely in love with a husband who must be dragged away from his fascinating canvasses; and the precise daughter Beryl, who surely has a counterpart in every… Read More

"A typical small town is the background against which the author has placed his American characters. The scene opens in 1897 with the Canterburys at their peak -- socially, spiritually and financially. Their life is healthily robust. Then Spooner, a male Carrie Nation, comes upon the scene with his preachments against all that makes for a normal, healthy life. With his entrance the Canterburys begin their descent. The struggle which takes place is that between excess of temperance and too much liberalism. The Canterburys represent exuberance and Spooner… Read More

[minor shelfwear to bottom edge, light dust-soiling to top page edges; jacket lightly rubbed, a bit of scuffing to spine, especially along rear hinge, one tiny tear and associated creasing at top of rear panel]. Novel about a successful New York literary agent whose treatment of her clientele, established writers and up-and-comers alike, would appear to qualify her for sainthood: "She lent them money, fought for their ideas, became their confidante. From all walks of life, of all ages and beliefs, they poured into her office for encouragement, faith and hope of eventual fame." The author had headed her own agency during the 1930s and 1940s, with a client list including, at various times, Erle Stanley Gardner and James Hilton.
