Brooks, Marshall.

The James T. Farrell Underground. (in the Generalist Papers. Volume 2 Number 4. November 1991).

Brooklyn, NY: The Smith, 1991. 1991. - Quarto, softcover, unbound. Two sheets of cream-colored paper are folded once to form [8] pages, each approximately 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. Illustrated in black & white with 2 textual illustrations & 2 facsimiles. The bottom corners of the pages are slightly bumped and there are 2 light horizontal creases where the periodical has been folded. Very good. Marshall Brooks explains that the James T. Farrell Underground consists of readers who have read Farrell's books and have recorded inside the books their experience of reading them. He recounts that in the year when "Studs Lonigan" was broadcast as a television mini-series, he discovered nine Farrell books at Goodspeed's Bookshop in Boston which all had notes written on their inside back covers. He bought the books, concluding that the notes were important "as evidence of one reader's response to Farrell over a 32-year period..The previous owner..faithfully recorded, with a few exceptions, the month and year each time that she reread one of the nine novels, something she did from at least 1945 through 1977". The penultimate page prints "Notes on Farrell's Readers" by Harry Smith, editor and publisher of The Generalist Papers: "The Number 1 James T. Farrell fan in my book is Graham Mark Schneider, Esq...Graham is a tough guy in his speech--plain, sharp, straight as Farrell, but louder..Discovering the Studs Lonigan trilogy and "Gas House McGinty", Graham went to look at Prairie Avenue and The El. He kept coming back to retrace, literally--almost step by step--the terrain of the novels... Very good .

[Dombey and Son]: Dealing with the Firm of Dombey and Son, Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation by Charles Dickens. With Illustrations by H.K. Browne.

London: Bradbury and Evans, 1848. 1848. FIRST EDITION WITH ALL BUT ONE OF THE FIRST ISSUE POINTS - Octavo, 8-1/4 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide. Three-quarter tan calf & marbled boards with gilt elaborate decorations in gilt and raised bands on the spine as well as a gilt titled red leather label. The covers are rubbed and slightly scuffed with minor wear to the edges and corners. All edges are marbled. xvi, [ii] & 624 pages plus an errata slip, illustrated with 40 plates by Hablot K. Browne ("Phiz"), including a frontispiece and an additional pictorial title page. A couple of signatures [i.e. group of pages] are lightly pulled. There is scattered foxing, particularly in the margins of the plates. Good. "First edition, with all but one of the first issue points. The first issue points present in this copy of the book are as follows: a) The errata leaf following page xvi has 2 lines; an inserted errata slip has 12 lins. b) The title vignette and the illustration following page 238 erroneously have Capt. Cuttle's hook on his left arm; c) On the "List of Plates" on page xv, the frontis and the title vignette have no page entry; d) Further on page xv, line 2 there are no quotation marks around the words "the party"; e) Ten lines up from the bottom on page 14 there is no apostrophe in the word "aint"; f) On page 26, line 11 the word "fidgety" is mis-spelled "fidgetty"; g) On page 40, lines 16-17 the words "shewed' and "shew" are printed for "showed" and "show"; h) On page 284 five and six lines up from the bottom the word "Delight" replaces the word "Joy"; i) On page 324 in the last line the word "Captain" is mis-spelled "Capatin"; j) On page 426, line 9 the word "if" is not present; k) On page 582 the last line lacks a period. The only later issue point we have been able to determine is that the page number "431" is present on that page. The "dark plate" by Phiz, "On the Dark Road", is in superb condition with minor foxing in the margins. "According to Valerie Lester Browne, this was Phiz's first attempt at a classic 'dark plate', in this case to show the futility of the villainous Carker's trying to cheat death as he makes his way through France to Paris and thence to England. If he cannot escape Dombey on the Continent (where he fears Dombey can easily hire assassins), he rationalizes that it would be better to confront Dombey in a country less lawless. The March 1848 illustration, moreover, engages the viewer with the sharpness and vivacity of the figures and the prancing horses horses having been from his earliest compositions one of Phiz's strengths." - quoted from The Victorian Web.
