Collins, London 1969-2004 All first editions (first printings). 8vo. Original publisher's cloth with dust wrappers. The top edge of half a dozen volumes very lightly spotted or speckled, and with just a touch of light bruising to the backstrip ends of one or two volumes. Some spotting to the rear free endpaper of a single volume ('The Ionian Mission'). Former owner name inkstamped to the head of the front free endpaper of one volume ('Post Captain'), and a former owner bookplate to another ('The Nutmeg of Consolation') but these aside no former owner names, plates, inscriptions or ownership marks. 'HMS Surprise' exhibits a small area of scuffing to the tip of the front free endpaper where former dealer pencilled pricing has been erased, and again to the head of the front pastedown, presumably for the same reason. Three consecutive volumes are printed on slightly lesser-quality paperstock and some nigh-on inevitable tanning has resulted (the three in question being 'The Far Side of the World', 'The Reverse of the Medal' and 'The Letter of Marque'). A very good set in dust wrappers, two of which are price-clipped and one more clipped and re-priced by the publisher. The dust wrapper of 'Master and Commander' is just a little dust soiled and edgeworn, with a touch of fading to the spine panel; two or three further wrappers are very lightly rubbed at the spine ends and exhibit a touch of dust soiling, light rubbing and spine panel fading (but 'The Far Side of the World', a volume so prone to spine panel fading is in excellent crisp state). Overall a very good set in very good, sometimes fine dust wrappers. Also included is the final unfinished novel, issued posthumously and comprising a partially corrected typescript of the first three chapters, as well as a facsimile of the handwritten manuscript which continues beyond the end of the typescript. The set weighs over 11kg unpacked, and so a postage excess will apply for overseas orders.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good.

Description:
Chatto & Windus, London, 1934. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. The first English-language edition. 8vo. 295pp. Brown cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt decoration. Cloth a little spotted and with just a trace of wear to several extremities. A touch of spotting to the endpapers and browning to a blank preliminary and concluding leaf, and the publisher's top edge stain just a little patchy. Really quite a nice, crisp copy, lacking the uncommon dust wrapper. The basis for John Huston's magnificent Bogart movie, this Creighton translation precedes Traven's own translation which he produced for the American issue (Knopf, 1935 - the author is on record stating his preference for this version)..

New York, Grove Press, 2022, trade paperback, 272 pp, Advance Uncorrected Proof (ARC), New. Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

The previous owners name is written on the front end page. The pages are white, crisp and claen of any markings. "William Thomson, famous nineteenth century missionary, traveler, and author, described twenty-five years of surface study of Palestine as it relates to the Bible in his two-volume work, The Land and the Book. When he comes to describe Jerusalem he makes this remarkable statement; Do not set out...resolved to make discoveries. There is not a foot of ground that has not been already scrutinized by a thousand eyes as keen as yours, and the old adage, "If new not true," may be applied to Jerusalem and her monuments with more propriety than to any other place on earth...." - Introduction from Poet and Peasant: A… Read More
