New York: Pagan Publishing Co, 350. First edition, second issue. 8vo. . Original red cloth, a trifle rubbed, as seems to be the case with all copies we've seen of this book, otherwise Very good.
¶ The first edition of Bodenheim's first book and of author Ben Hecht's as well, having collaborated on the second half of this little volume, entitled "The Master Poisoner" [the point determining the first issue of this book being 'Posner' instead of 'Poisoner' on page 67]. The book is inscribed, "A signature that won't rub out, Maxwell Bodenheim." Bodenheim was one of Greenwich Village's early characters, eking out a living reading his poetry and always at the edge of poverty. In l954, having lost his apartment and reduced to begging for hand-outs, Bodenheim was found murdered along with his third wife in an apartment they were staying in in the Bowery

Minna and Myself

New York, Pagan Publishing, 1918. First Edition. hardcover. First issue, with page 67 in its uncorrected state, of the first book by the entirely self-educated poet of Greenwich Village. Minna was the name of his first wife whom he married in 1918. Known mostly for his poetry, Bodenheim's fiction is also worthy of note. Kunitz and Haycraft called him a pioneer in bringing French naturalism into American writing. Included in this volume is a play co-written with Ben Hecht, making this Hecht's first book as well. Later Bodenheim and Hecht would have a longstanding feud. Very attractive copy though the next to last signature (containing page 67) is noticeably browned as a consequence of cheaper paper being used. We have not noted this mentioned in descriptions of any other copies we were able to locate and wonder if it might be an issue point. Very minor wear. Very Good or better .

New York Madness.

Macaulay, New York, 1933, first edition.. 250 pp, small 8vo (7 9/16" H), hard cover (blue cloth with yellow lettering and emblem on spine and front board) - no dust jacket. "It's the story of two bright, vivacious New York girls, game and scrappy kids full of youth's zest for life, and wil ling to go anywhere, try anything to satisfy their fierce craving for excitiment. Their quest leads them to New York's toughest spots, the East Side, the Far West of gangland and the waterfront dives, the Spanish Section, Union Square with i t s f e a r less and desperate radicals, and the racketeer hells on the Broadway side streets. Their adventures and their men make a story of enthralling power; and their discovery of the only way to get clear of New York Madness brings it to a cl im ax of t er ri fic punch. Bodenheim has never written a more glamorous, sweeping story, reflecting sophisticate New York's own racy lingo." Tiny closed tear (archivally taped) with soft crease at top edge of first nine pages, a few pages with sma ll l igh t s oil ing marks or small soft corner crease, light erased pencil notation marks on free rear endpaper, minor browning to pages, minor soiling to endpapers, browning and light soiling to edges of textblock, moderate edge wear to board s, w rin kl ing at t op/b otto m of spine, book slightly cocked, light rubbing, slight fading to boards and spine, tiny discolation mark on rear board.
