New York: Printed for the Members of The Limited Editions Club, 1981. A Monument of American Poetry" CRANE, Hart. The Bridge. A Poem.. With an Introduction by Malcolm Cowley and Photographs by Richard Benson. New York: Printed for the Members of The Limited Editions Club, 1981. Limited to 2,000 copies signed by Richard Benson, this being no. 521. Large quarto (11 15/16 x 9 inches; 304 x 228 mm.). 96 pp. Illustrated with five photographic plates (including one double-page) by Richard Benson. Publisher's silver-gray Dutch natural-finish cloth, front cover with title stamped in blind, spine lettered in blue, decorative end-papers. A fine copy in the publisher's matching slip-case. Harold Hart Crane (1899-1932) was an American poet. Finding both inspiration and provocation in the poetry of T. S. Eliot, Crane wrote modernist poetry that was difficult, highly stylized, and ambitious in its scope. In his most ambitious work, The Bridge, Crane sought to write an epic poem, in the vein of The Waste Land, that expressed a more optimistic view of modern, urban culture than the one that he found in Eliot's work. In the years following his suicide at the age of thirty-two, Crane has been hailed by playwrights, poets, and literary critics alike (including Robert Lowell, Derek Walcott, Tennessee Williams, and Harold Bloom), as being one of the most influential poets of his generation. Richard Benson (born 1943) is a photographer, printer and educator who utilizes photographic processing techniques of the past and present. Benson has a broad range of interests in the photographic print-silver, platinum, palladium, and ink. Working in these different mediums, sometimes learning forgotten crafts and sometimes creating new ones, he has become convinced that ink and the modern photo offset press possess a potential for photographic rendition beyond anything else previously known. In recent years he has been working on the relationship between the computer and traditional photographic imagery, and has been applying the lessons from this in the production of long run offset books of work by different photographers, in both black and white and color.

New York: Will H. Coleman, 1885. A classic of Creole cooking, and the first book published on the subject [HEARN, Lafcadio]. La Cuisine Creole. A Collection of Culinary Recipes from leading chefs and noted Creole housewives, who have made New Orleans famous for its cuisine. New York: Will H. Coleman, [1885]. First edition (BAL state B with the Introduction on one page, and with the word Brulot with an umlaut instead of an accent). Octavo (7 3/8 x 5 3/4 inches; 188 x 146 mm.). [ii, blank], [iii], [i, blank], [1]-268 pp. Over-opened at pp. 172/173, small marginal stain affecting front endpapers and first five leaves only, a few very small marginal stains on p. 217. Publisher's brown cloth, front cover pictorially decorated with a tureen, crab, and crawfish in gilt and black, lilac endpapers. Plain spine as issued, a few stains on back cover, lower half of front inner hinge cracked and repaired. Chemised in a quarter black morocco slipcase, spine with five raised bands, lettered in gilt in compartments. A very good, almost untouched copy of a classic of Creole cooking and the first book published on this culinary tradition. Published in 1885, this pioneering work compiles the recipes of New Orleans in one volume. Celebrating the range of ethnic influences on Creole cuisine, the book contains recipes for many of the classic New Orleans dishes. Having being written by Lafcadio Hearn, one of New Orleans greatest literary talents, it shows a more literary flair than most modern cookbooks. An interesting mix of Northern imports, home grown recipes and French influenced dishes, with a nice selection of wines, sherries and champagne at the end. Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was an Irish writer, translator, and teacher who introduced the culture and literature of Japan to the West. Before moving to Japan and becoming a Japanese citizen, he worked as a journalist in the United States, primarily in Cincinnati and New Orleans. His writings about New Orleans, based on his decade-long stay there, are also well-known. Hearn lived in New Orleans for nearly a decade, writing first for the newspaper Daily City Item beginning in June 1878, and later for the Times Democrat. Hearn's writings for national publications, such as Harper's Weekly and Scribner's Magazine, helped create the popular reputation of New Orleans as a place with a distinctive culture more akin to that of Europe and the Caribbean than to the rest of North America. The vast number of his writings about New Orleans and its environs, many of which have not been collected, include the city's Creole population and distinctive cuisine, the French Opera, and Louisiana Voodoo. Hearn wrote enthusiastically of New Orleans, but also wrote of the city's decay, "a dead bride crowned with orange flowers". Hearn's best-known Louisiana works including La Cuisine Créole (1885), a collection of culinary recipes from leading chefs and noted Creole housewives who helped make New Orleans famous for its cuisine.

London: Jonathan Cape, 1950. Reflections on a Life HEMINGWAY, Ernest. Across the River and Into the Trees. London: Jonathan Cape, [1950]. First English edition, First Printing. Octavo (7 1/2 x 4 7/8 inches; 191 x 124 mm.). [1]-254 pp. Publisher's green cloth, front cover with decoration in red, spine lettered in red and silver. First issue pictorial dust jacket with "9s 6d. net" printed on lower front flap. Minimal rubbing to extremities of dust jacket. An excellent example. The UK edition preceded the the US edition by four days. "Across the River and Into the Trees first appeared in Cosmopolitan, CXXVIII (Feb. 1950 - June 1950). Numerous changes, additions, and omissions were made prior to book publication. For example: "Conte Carlo" was changed to "Count Andrea"; the passages regarding "the Honorable Pacciardi," on pp. 39-41, were added; the passages regarding d'Annunzio, on pp. 49-51, were added; the whole of Ch. XXXVII was added; the deletions were filled in; etc.. Across the River and Into the Trees appeared on the N.Y. Times Book Review's Best Seller List from September 24, 1950 to February 11, 1951. During the twenty-one weeks that it appeared, it was in first place for seven weeks, from October 15 to November 26, 1950. Twenty-five "advance copies," issued in blue cloth, were printed from discarded plates after the first edition was run off.. These "advance copies" contain the following errors: On p.21, line 26, "Papadopohi" should read "Papadopoli". On p. 24, line 5, there should be a period after "got" and "o" made a capital in "One". On p. 80, line 21, the second "how" should be omitted." (Hanneman, pp. 61-62). Ernest Hemingway (1899 - 1961). Across the River and Into the Trees was his last novel and tells the story of American Colonel Richard Cantwell during the last day of his life as he recalls his experiences in war and love as a younger man in Venice. Hemingway took the title of this novel from the last words of General Thomas J. ("Stonewall") Jackson, quoted on page 307: "Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees." Like much of his writing, this novel is highly autobiographical. Also in typical Hemingway fashion, Across the River utilizes the Iceberg Theory, in which the true essence of the story is not expressly said in the plot but rather is meant to be inferred.

Days without End

New York: Random House, 1934. O'Neill's "Modern Miracle Play" O'NEILL, Eugene. Days Without End. New York: Random House, [1934]. First edition. Limited to 325 numbered copies printed on all-rag paper and signed by the author (this being copy No. 208). Large octavo (9 5/8 x 6 1/2 inches; 243 x 164 mm.). 157, [3, blank] pp. Publisher's full blue calf. Spine with raised bands and red and white morocco labels lettered in gilt. Top edge gilt, others uncut. A few rubbed spots to spine, mild scuffing to edges. A very good copy. In the original slipcase (slipcase intact, but distressed). "A modern miracle play by Eugene O'Neill. [Henry Miller Theatre, 57 perf.] John Loving is two men simultaneously: John (Earle Larimore), his generous, idealistic half, and Loving (Stanley Ridges), his baser self. Embittered at life, he has abandoned religion and made a god of love. But he has not been faithful even to his new deity. Loving decides to write a book about his experiences and tells his story to a priest (Robert Loraine) and his wife, Elsa (Selena Royle). The shock of hearing her husband's history makes Elsa deathly ill. Mortified, John prostrates himself before the cross and re-embraces Catholicism; John's reaffirmation kills Loving and saves his wife. Although highly praised by the Catholic press, most other American critics treated the Theatre Guild production harshly, seeing it largely as a failed literary exercise rather than a vital drama. Curiously, the play was accorded a better reception the following year when it opened in London. The play's American failure may have played some part in the withdrawal of O'Neill, heretofore prolific, from the stage. He did not return to Broadway until twelve years later with The Iceman Cometh, though he continued to write" (The Oxford Companion to American Theatre). Atkinson A34-I-1.b. .

New York: Moffat, Yard & Co. 1919. First edition. Quarto (9 9/16 x 7 1/4 inches; 243 x 184 mm.). viii, 9 -78, [2, blank] pp. Three full-page color plates and ten full-page black and white drawings. Original light blue cloth, front cover pictorially stamped in black, spine lettered in black. Minimal fading to spine and slight rubbing to extremities, rear inner hinge tender. Slight dustmark on lower margin 1/8 inch on third color plate. A very good copy of a scarce Rackham title. "The idea of the Selfish Giant in this play has been taken from the story of Oscar Wilde's Selfish Giant. Spring would not come to his garden because he would not let the children play in it. It was always winter there. One morning he woke up hearing the music of a linnet singing in his garden. He jumped out of bed and saw a most wonderful sight, "flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing," and in every tree was a little child; but one little boy was too tiny to climb the tree and the Giant's heart melted and he helped the little child into the tree. The little child kissed him and forever after the children played in the Giant's garden, because his heart had softened through love of the little child. The children never saw the child again. But one day he came to the Giant, who saw on the palms of the child's hands "the prince of two nails and the prince of two nails were on the little feet". The little child had come to take the Giant to play in his garden, "which is Paradise." My indebtedness to this story is the character of the Selfish Giant. The little play of Snickerty Nick is not a dramatization of The Selfish Giant. The character of Snickerty Nick is an original character and the play centers around him. The little boy is only a loving and beloved child, and Spring and Winter are personified by faeries and gnomes. To Arthur Rackham I tender my most sincere thanks whose magic touch, as in Peter Pan, Grimm's Faery Tales and Undine, making real all faeries and gnomes, endears all child life to grown-ups as well as to children."

Loosely inserted is the February Book-of-the-Month Club News flyer which discusses the book and the author, "..so that it can be pasted , if desired, to the flyleaf of the book." "The place is Ithaca, in California's San Joaquin Valley. The time is World War II. The family is the Macauley's - a mother, sister, and three brothers whose struggles and dreams reflect those of America's second-generation immigrants. In particular, fourteen-year-old Homer, determined to become one of the fastest telegraph messengers in the West, finds himself caught between reality and illusion as delivering his messages of wartime death, love, and money brings him face-to-face with human emotion at its most naked and raw. Gentle, poignant and richly autobiographical, this delightful novel shows us the boy becoming the man in a world that even in the midst of war, appears sweeter, safer and more livable than our own." (Penguin Random House). William Saroyan (1908-1981) was an Armenian-American novelist, playwright, and short story writer who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1940. The Human Comedy originated as a 240-page film script written for MGM. Saroyan was planning to produce and direct the film, but he was dropped from the project either because the script was too long or because a short film he directed as a test was not considered acceptable - or both. He walked off the lot, went home, and swiftly created a novelization, which was published just before the film came out. It was the March 1943 Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and became a best-seller a week after its release. Saroyan won the Academy Award for Best Story for the 1943 film, The Human Comedy starring Mickey Rooney and Frank Morgan. Don Freeman (1908- 1978) was an American painter, printmaker, cartoonist, and an illustrator and writer of children's books. .
