Description:
Wien (Vienna): Verlag Von Julius Springer, 1931. First edition. Wraps. This is the first edition (in German) of the second published book by economist and political philosopher Friedrich Hayek. This was Hayeks first book based on his work with the London School of Economics and the result of the 1931 lectures that began his LSE career and led to his naturalization as a British citizen. Condition is very good. The original card wraps remain complete and firmly attached, despite moderate overall soiling, toning, and wear to extremities. The contents are complete with light, intermittent spotting. We find no previous ownership marks. The untrimmed fore and bottom edges remain respectably clean, some spotting and shelf dust showing only on the top edges. Vienna-born British economist Friedrich August Hayek (1899-1992), winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, was known for his criticisms of the Keynesian welfare state and of totalitarian socialism. Following degrees from the University of Vienna, a…

Description:
London: Faber and Faber Ltd., 1975. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. This jacketed first edition, first printing is inscribed by Heaney in three inked lines on the front free endpaper recto: For Alan | with good wishes | Seamus Heaney. Condition of both volume and dust jacket is conservatively graded as very good plus. The blue cloth binding is tight and unfaded with bright spine gilt, minimal wear confined to extremities, a slight forward lean, and a hint of faint, whitish mottling to the boards. The contents remain respectably bright. The sole previous ownership mark is the authors inscription. Differential toning to the endpapers corresponds to the dust jacket flaps and confirms that this copy has spent life jacketed. Light spotting and modest age-toning appears confined to the front pastedown and facing free endpaper and the page edges. The dust jacket is complete, unclipped with no loss or tears, with only mild toning to the fade-prone pale blue front panel and spine and light soiling…

Description:

Heinlein immediately below his printed name on the title page.

Shelf wear to extremities is trivial, including a few tiny dings to the edges and minor wrinkling to the spine ends.

Description:
New York: Doubleday & Company, 1951. First edition. Hardcover. A superior first edition with impeccable genre association. This is a Donald A. WollheimÂ’s publisherÂ’s review copy, a collector-worthy example in dust jacket and an important association copy that belonged to “one of the most important editorial influences on sf”. Doubleday & CompanyÂ’s bright yellow “BOOK FOR REVIEW” slip is laid in at the half-title, specifying a publication date of “October 11, 1951”. WollheimÂ’s name is ink-stamped on the verso of the final blank endpaper and is the only previous ownership mark in the book. Condition is fine in a near fine dust jacket. The cloth binding is square, clean, and tight with sharp corners. We note no appreciable soiling or wear and only minor wrinkling to the spine ends. The contents show only age-toning to the page edges and inner margins, but are otherwise unspoiled, with no soiling or spotting. The dust jacket is bright and complete, retaining the original $2.75 front flap…

Description:
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1947. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. This is the first edition, first printing of the first novel published by one of the twentieth centuryÂ’s pioneering and preeminent science fiction authors. First printing is confirmed by the ScribnerÂ’s “A” on the copyright page. Later states of the first printing dust jacket are known to have the original, printed “$2.00” price clipped from the upper front flap and a replacement “$2.50” price ink-stamped thereon. This jacket is a presumed later state; the original “$2.00” price is clipped and there is an additional small rectangle clipped from the front flap between the title and authorÂ’s name where, it seems plausible to assume, an ink-stamped “$2.50” price may also have been clipped by a later seller. The authorÂ’s signature “Robert A. Heinlein” is included on a separate 5.375 x 2 inch (13.65 x 5.1 cm) piece of paper tipped onto the front free endpaper recto. Condition of the volume is very good,…

Description:
London: Her Majesty's Stationery Office Press, 1952. First edition. Pamphlet. This pamphlet publishes speeches delivered before Parliament by MP Emrys Hughes on 6th, 10th, and 18th March 1952 during the second and final premiership of Winston S. Churchill. This copy is in very good minus condition. This 13-page pamphlet is bound in wire-stitched self-wraps, printed on light, cheap pulp paper stock. This copyÂ’s chief flaws are one inch splits to the top and bottom of the spine. The contents are clean with mild soiling only to the blank rear page. A light horizontal crease runs along the center of the pamphlet. Emrys Hughes (1894-1969) was a Socialist MP highly critical of Churchill. In 1952 Hughes published Winston Churchill in War and Peace, of which bibliographer Curt Zoller says: "Hughes's book criticizes even Churchill's Battle of Britain speeches and makes some telling points: a polemic worth reading." (Zoller, 2004, p.29) As a lifelong pacifist who was imprisoned as a conscientious objector…
