Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Lovely copy of this science-fiction novella by Ruth Vassos illustrated by husband and industrial designer John Vassos. A different edition of this in blue cloth was issued with a dustjacket, but it is unclear if this version, likewise published in 1930, ever had one. 7.75" x 10.25" har…dcover book in red cloth with gilt decoration/titling to front and spine. Unpaginated with black and white illustrations, printed in the "Knudsen Process", evidently a very fine-screened half-tone lithograph. Book, now in protective mylar jacket, from the collection of a tobacco smoker with attendant, mild tanning to spine and a faint smoky aroma within. Pages are however quite bright and crisp, illustrations vivid and attractive. Binding square, sound and firm. Boards still quite fresh with sharp corners and only hints of wear to the edges and corners. Very good+.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Very Good dj. First Edition. [some wear to cloth at ends of spine, very slight bump to bottom front corner; fragile jacket is quite presentable, worn along edges and hinges, hinges split along several lengths but still holding together, about 1" paper loss from top of spine (no loss of text), tiny… chip at bottom left corner of rear panel, a few little nicks along top of front panel]. (B&W plates) A memorandum from an imagined future time, in which centuries of slow-moving but cataclysmic climate change -- not global warming but rather global freezing -- have forced humans first to reconstitute their civilization far beneath the surface of the earth, and ultimately to develop "projectile cars" (rocket ships, essentially) to allow them to escape from an earth that's become "useless and dead." (The memo-writer has rejected an alternate plan to use "certain experiments in atomic detonation"(!) to shift the earth's orbit closer to the sun, and to thereby re-heat the planet.) Although primarily known for his influential work in the field of industrial design, John Vassos's credentials as a modernist artist were firmly established by the three books he published around this time; this one was preceded by "Contempo" (1929) and followed by "Phobia" (1931). The book's dedication is "To D.H.L. [D.H. Lawrence] who loved the sun"; Lawrence had died in March 1930 (the book was published in November). And don't miss the attractive black-on-silver bookplate (concealed by the front jacket flap) of one A. Eric Armstrong, on whose shelves this book once rested. Illustrated by John Vassos (illustrator).

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. SIGNED. Quarto [30.5 cm] 104pp. Folio [30.5 cm] 1/4 blue cloth with red cloth over boards with bold gilt stamped titles. Double title page printed in black and bold red. Boards a bit warped; some dampstaining and tapestains to boards (dampstaining primarily to rear board); pages a bit toned. The first e…dition was strictly limited to 2,000 copies. This copy is intimately inscribed by John Vassos to Colonel Darryl Zanuck on the front free endpaper: "Written in 1935 - / now 1944 - / One wonders. are we / going to make the same / mistakes? / To Col. Darryl Zanuck / from another soldier - / Lt. Col. John Vassos C.E. / in New York City / July 27 1944." Inscribed to the giant American film producer and studio executive Darryl Zanuck. Zanuck (1902-1979) was vice president in charge of production for Twentieth Century-Fox. The IMDb website (writer David S. Smith) refers to him as "One of the kingpins of Hollywood's studio system." He is known for his signature productions of "How Green Was My Valley," "The Grapes of Wrath," and "Twelve O'Clock High." He was also known for producing "The Longest Day" (1962), which was viewed as the definitive examination of D-Day for decades. Also highly significant, is the fact that Zanuck was responsible for the first use of dialogue in a full-length film, "The Jazz Singer." Zanuck joined the U.S. Army when he was 15 years old. He was active in World War I and World War II. John Vassos was also in the military. He served in the U.S. Army Air Corps developing camouflage techniques. A unique inscription not only between two military men, but between two people with huge ties to the entertainment industry. The artist, John Vassos, was the designer of the first consumer television set for RCA, while Zanuck was considered a major studio boss of his era. First edition, inscribed association copy.
