Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Samuel Bernard Schaeffer (illustrator). First Edition. [spine very slightly turned, faint dust-soiling to top edge; jacket lightly faded at spine, faint soiling to front panel]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep: "To L. Alexander Mack, / as a souvenir of many years / of work and play with the author, / Chas. F. Howell --- / New York, August 24, 1936." Intermingled love story and travelogue, combining "an intelligently conducted tour through the [British] Isles" with the tale of a young American tourist who convinces her traveling companion that they should hire a handsome young Irishman as their courier (guide) on their jaunt through England, Ireland, and Wales, and gets (not unpleasantly) more than she bargained for. The author (1868-1943) was primarily a newspaperman who (per his NYTimes obit) specialized in insurance and marine topics, but he was also quite the traveler, and had previously published at least two books in that vein, "Around the Clock in Europe: A Travel-Sequence" (1912) and "An Irish Ramble" (1929); the present book, apparently his only excursion into fiction, was described by a contemporary critic as "a romanticized Baedeker."

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Samuel Bernard Schaeffer (illustrator). First Edition. [minimal shelfwear, spine lettering somewhat dulled; the jacket is lightly edgeworn, tanned along spine with tiny shallow chipping at both ends]. The first novel by this North Carolina-born writer (1894-1981), better known for his work as a playwright, who had received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his 1926 play "In Abraham's Bosom." It tells of the fraught and ultimately tragic romance between a manly, wandering-minstrel sort of guy and the "handsome daughter" of a respectable Southern family -- the former representing "the music, the play and the imagination of the New South, [and the daughter] the romantic, but sterile, pride of the Old South." Alas, "both are victims of the narrow moralism of the society in which they live." One critic has observed that "despite the title and the narrator's bias, the book belongs to Alice," the daughter, and it was praised by a fellow novelist as "a combination of friendly satire, bitter social comment, rare insight, poetic expression, and powerful character portrayal," also praising Alice as "one of the most impressive women in modern fiction.".

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj) Samuel Bernard Schaeffer (illustrator). First Edition. [quite a decent copy, moderately shelfworn and with some smudging and marking to the cloth (mostly on the back cover), but nice enough that's it a bit of a shock to discover (from the rear endpaper) that it was once a lending library book (see notes); jacket is lightly soiled, some wear at edges and corners, neat internal tape-reinforcement at top of spine, all in all very well-preserved and quite attractive]. First novel by this New York-born writer, who went on to a long and successful career as a Hollywood screenwriter. Derived from his personal experience as a "sandhog" working on the construction of the Holland Tunnel, the book was sold to the movies prior to its publication and adapted for the 1935 film "Under Pressure," directed by Raoul Walsh for Fox. Chase himself had a hand in the screenplay, which also had some (uncredited) additional dialogue supplied by Billy Wilder, (It's often stated, erroneously, that Chase's book "Sandhog" was the basis for that film -- apparently by people with a tenuous grasp of chronological principles, since that book, although it does trod the same thematic ground, wasn't published until several years after the release of the film. The confusion no doubt arises from the fact that "East River" was itself actually entitled "Sand Hog" prior to its publication, although by the time it was serialized in Argosy in October/November 1934 it already bore its final title. Interestingly, the Argosy version was presented as having been co-authored by Chase and Edward Doherty. No doubt there's a story there; Doherty, an established journalist and newspaperman, occasionally served as a ghostwriter for.).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Samuel Bernard Schaeffer (illustrator). First American Edition. [light shelfwear, slight exposure of board at lower tips, spine very slightly turned; jacket lightly but evently age-toned, small chip at upper left of front panel, a couple of tiny chips at top of spine (one slightly affecting the S in CATS)]. Rare novel by the French-American socialite and heiress (to the Singer Sewing Machine fortune) who was one of the most well-known and influential style icons of her day -- a fashionista, generations before that term was coined. At one time the Paris editor of Harper's Bazaar, she was one of the most important customers/patrons of couturier Elsa Schiaparelli -- who created one of her signature colors, Shocking Pink, expressly for her. "Shocking," in fact, was pretty much the operative word for Daisy's lifestyle; as one journalist put it, "she lived on a diet of morphine and grouse, with the occasional cocktail thrown in" (and if morphine couldn't be had, she was just as fond of opium or cocaine), and when it came to sex, "she was a voracious man-eater, who'd steal her daughters' boyfriends and seduce her best friends' husbands." One of her rivals in the international social scene, Lady Diana Cooper, called her "the very picture of fashionable depravity." She was also known as one of the world's great collectors of fine jewelry, and is said to have owned an extensive collection of leather-bound pornography. She occasionally composed some poetry, but this was her first (and almost last) crack at a novel, and it's the sort of book you'd expect a woman like this to write: vaguely autobiographical, witty and occasionally caustic, peopled with characters that are likely based on individuals in her social circle (which admittedly gave her a lot of material to work with), and fairly insubstantial. The book's protagonist is named Claudia; the novel is narrated by her friend Judith, who has known her since childhood and evolves (if that's the word) into a lifelong hanger-on, trailing Claudia around Europe (and at one point to America) as both observer and confidante, relating Claudia's adventures as she demonstrates her consistently poor taste in men. I think we just have to take it on faith that the book's theme is, as boldly declared on the front jacket flap, "Women in the World of Men." At any rate, it's got a fabulous Fantomas/Dracula-evoking jacket design, with a naked woman spreading her black cloak (which sort of resembles bat wings) as a dark-eyed stranger looms behind her. (And just for the record: none of the action in this book takes place on the actual Isle of Man, so I think we have to assume it's a metaphor, or something.).

Spiralbindung. Zustand: Sehr gut. 96 S. Einband berieben. Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. - Poses of nudes: Full Figure, Torso, Head, Hands, Feet, Infants and Children. The purpose of Pose Please is manifestly not to take the place of regular art instruction, but rather to supplement what has already been gained by the art student in the course of his training-to furnish him with inspiration, to help him pose his own models, to give him new and varied horizons. In Pose Please there is presented a wealth of material which only an artist of many years' experience could possibly gather and proffer in such an beautiful and entertaining manner.
