A Packet for Ezra Pound by: Yeats, William Butler

A Packet for Ezra Pound
by: Yeats, William Butler

Hardcover. Dublin, The Cuala Press, 1st, 1929, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, one of 425 copies, publisher's device vignette by T. Sturge Moore on title page, minor offsetting to endpapers, else unmarked internally, publisher's cloth-backed blue boards, paper label on spine is chipped, black lettering to upper cover, blue endpapers, spine and extremities slightly toned, else very good. One of 425 copies, printed at the Cuala Press, with the date misprinted as 'MCMXXVIV' on the title page (as noted by Wade). The Cuala Press originally started out as the Dun Emer Press in 1903, founded by Evelyn Gleeson. Influenced by the Gaelic revival occurring in Ireland, it promoted Ireland's cultural heritage, while at the same time training women to work in a useful trade. Eventually the two sisters of W.B. Yeats took over the press, continuing Gleeson's work, and renaming it The Cuala Press in 1908. No dust wrapper, as issued. There is some tanning/foxing to last 8 pages including colophon.

Desperate Inscriptions: Graffiti from the Nazi Prison in Rome 1943-1944by: Pugliese, Stanislao G.

Desperate Inscriptions: Graffiti from the Nazi Prison in Rome 1943-1944
by: Pugliese, Stanislao G.

Softcover. Boca Raton FL, Bordighera Press , 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, b&w illustrations. Tucked away on Via Tasso in a middle-class district in the Eternal City--a stone's throw from the Basilica of St. John in Lateran--the former prison is now the Museo Storico della Liberazione di Roma, commemorating the liberation of Rome by Resistance fighters and Allied troops in June 1944. Within, anti-fascist partisans scrawled graffiti full of pathos and the romantic idealism that so permeated the Italian Resistance. A visitor today can still read the desperate inscriptions, collected in this volume along with recollections by inmates and narratives concerning the Via Tasso. Pugliese's thoughtful narrative, accompanied by black-and-white photos by Lianna Miuccio, documents the lives of such antifascist prisoners as Arrigo Paladini, who wrote on the wall as he was dying, "There is nothing that can give the joy of a beautiful death as the consciousness of having served the country until the last breath of life." This book examines the inscriptions on the walls, translates them, shows Miuccio's stark photos of them, and gives a historical context, timeline, and survivor and family interviews. Clean copy.

Dostoevsky: The Miraculous Years, 1865-1871
by: Joseph Frank

Softcover. Princeton NJ, Princeton University Press, reprint, 1996, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 521 pages. The fourth volume in Frank's monumental five part biography of the great Russian writer. Covers the six most remarkably productive years in the novelist's entire career. It was in this short span of time that Dostoevsky produced three of his greatest novels--Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Devils--and two of his best novellas, The Gambler and The Eternal Husband. All these masterpieces were written in the midst of harrowing practical and economic circumstances, as Dostoevsky moved from place to place, frequently giving way to his passion for roulette. Having remarried and fled from Russia to escape importuning creditors and grasping dependents, he could not return for fear of being thrown into debtor's prison. He and his young bride, who twice made him a father, lived obscurely and penuriously in Switzerland, Germany, and Italy, as he toiled away at his writing, their only source of income. Clean copy.

Eileen Gray: Design and Architecture, 1878-1976
by: Philippe Garner

Hardcover. Taschen, reprint, 2007, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 160 pages. Though her work has often been overshadowed by that of her peers such as Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer, Irish designer, lacquer-artist, and architect Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now widely recognized as a designer of great talent and individuality. She first excelled in the exacting craft of lacquer, creating screens, panels, furniture, and objects of technical virtuosity and poetic strength. Eileen Gray then developed an interest in architecture, designing two houses, "E-1027" (completed 1929) and "Tempe a Pailla" (completed 1934) in the south of France, which are seminal examples of the spirit of the Modern movement. This book analyses and illustrates the full range of her furniture, interiors, and completed architectural projects. Reprint of the edition of 1993.

Elliott Erwitt's Handbookby: Erwitt, Elliott

Elliott Erwitt's Handbook
by: Erwitt, Elliott

Hardcover. NY, Quantuck Lane Press, 1st, 2003, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. The human (and sometimes non-human) hands are, with the possible exception of the eyes, the most expressive parts of the body, asking for more or less, telling us to come or to go, asking questions and answering them, scolding, rewarding, searching and finding, and, at their most intimate, loving and lustful. Hands reward us, calm us, feed us, and scratch our backs. They intimidate, bless, encourage, and stop us. They soothe, caress, and sometimes go where they shouldn't. We may take hands for granted. But Elliott Erwitt does not. Here is Erwitt at his most serious-and-yet-whimsical best, giving us the moments which, without hands, would not exist. 100 duotone images.

Frank Norris Revisited (INSCRIBED COPY)by: McElrath, Joseph R.

Frank Norris Revisited (INSCRIBED COPY)
by: McElrath, Joseph R.

Hardcover. NY, Twayne Publishers, 1st, 1992, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 145 pages. INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on the front fly leaf. The renown Frank Norris attained in his brief lifetime sprang from his compelling--and to many Americans startling--novels about people whose lives have escaped their control and have become grotesquely warped by the confluent forces of hereditary and environment.In "revisiting" Frank Norris, Joseph R. McElrath, Jr. takes as a starting point Warren French's 1962 volume in this series and provides a complementary portrait of the artist. McElrath assesses the spate of relatively recent "historical reconstructions" of Norris's canon and finds a writer who, though at times transcendent in the Naturalistic vein, was pragmatic in his choice of subject matter and "not always grandly serious." It is in part the delight Norris took in parody, McElrath argues, that makes him still so readable. Clean copy.

Frank: The First Year by: Frank Robinson, Dave Anderson

Frank: The First Year
by: Frank Robinson, Dave Anderson

Hardcover. NY, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, BC Ed., 1976, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 268 pages. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographs. "In the poised, outspoken style that typifies his career as one of baseball's fiercest competitors and a superstar of the modern era, Frank Robinson recounts in this book his remarkable and dramatic experience as the first black manager in the history of the major leagues. Written in collaboration with Dave Anderson, the renowned sports columnist of The New York Times, Frank is both the essence of baseball and a document that transcends sports: an intimate, superbly detailed record of the business of managing men on the playing field and a revelation of one man on a spot no one ever occupied before him." Copyright page states first edition but lack of price on dust jacket tells us it's a Book Club. Embossed stamp on front fly leaf, otherwise clean.
