Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 57 Pp. Annotated By Ian Ballantine, With Four Page Numbers On Front Endpaper, Directing The Reader To: P. 17, Pearl S. Buck "I Appreciate Very Much Indeed A Beautifully Made And Designed Book. But Even More I Appreciate Books Which Are Cheap Enough For People To Buy. Somehow Or Other We Must Get Books Within The Range Of Low And Average Income, So That Book Reading Is No Longer A Luxury As It Is Now. Whenever I See A Book That Is Both Beautiful In Design And Low In Price, I Am Especially Grateful." The Quotation Has Ballantine's Emphasis Mark In Margin. P. 23, John Dos Passos: . To My Way Of Thinking, The Great Problem Before The Book Designer At Present Is The Design Of Cheap And Pocket Books. In A Period When The Continued Use Of Books On Any Large Scale Is Very Much A Moot Question, It Is To Be Hoped That The Dangers And Hazrds Which Confront The Trade Will Stimulate New Inventiveness In Design As In Other Directions." This Part Of The Quotation Has Ballantine's Emphasis Mark In The Margin. P. 27 ( Through P. 34, "Some Random And Randy Thoughts On Books", Hayashi 1066, Which Is Otherwise Hilarious): ". For Myself, I Like The Whole Theory Of The Twenty-Five Cent Book. For One Thing The Very Cost Of A Trade Edition Encourages A Degree Of Selfishness. Such A Book Must Be Hoarded And Put On The Shelves. It Becomes Property And Property Must Be Protected. With The Cheap Editions The Opposite Is True. You Load Your Friends' Arms With Books.I Don't Know How Many Writers Have The Feeling I Have About Books. I Do Not Love Books For Themselves .

Ian Ballantine Founded Ballantine Books In 1952 And Then Bantam Books; Bantam Concentrating On Well Made Paperbacks With Covers With Original Art, Ballantine Books Usually Publishing Original Works In Both Small Runs Of Hardcover Editions With Simultaneous Large Runs Of Softcover Editions, Or, In The First Few Years, Simultaneous Or Early Softcover Versions Of Original Hardcover Editions By Other Publishers. Ballantine Soon Began Publishing Original Sf, Becoming The First Mainstream Publisher To Concentrate On This Genre, With Fine (And Now Exceptionally Valuable) Cover Art By Now-Classic Sf Illustrators, And Also Began Publishing Sf Paperback Originals Which Are The True Firsts Of Some Classic Works, There Being No Simultaneous Hardcover Version.

Zustand: Collectible. Limited/Numbered. VG+. White Vellum boards, internally nFINE. Special Limited Presentation Edition: #8 of 25. TIPPED IN: Typed letter signed from a personal friend of the author, offering the book for sale, in 1928, for $25.00. This is the story of Italian Catholic Dominican Friar Savonarola who stood up against the Medici rulers of Florence Italy. When French king Charles VIII invaded Florence in 1494, Savonarola was set up as the religious and secular ruler of the city-state. He was against the loose morality allowed under of the Medici's and scowered the city for items connected with that low morality. This became the material burned in the infamous "Bonfire of the Vanities", which is rememebred to the present day. Van Wyck wrote this Theatrical Play form of the story in France during the Roaring Twenties after WWI when the world cavorted wantonly as survivors of the war to end all wars celebrated for having endured the carnage, but that became another era of rampant immoral excesses. Notably, Savonarola instituted a Republican form of government in Florence, as opposed to and Aristocracy. He himself was overthrown and burned at the stake by the Medici family some years later, but his efforts set the stage for social revolution in the 19th century era of populist federalism. This is a hugely scarce presentation form of the story, and very rare being #8/25 in this Vellum edition. Important for theater collectors and social historians. [B3].
