De två sistnämnda arbetena tryckta i endast 200 resp. 150 exemplar (här nr 26 & 128, båda med dedikation på främre omslaget till Aron Ingvall från författaren).

Illustrerade med porträtt. Beträffande biografin över Lincoln skriver Skarstedt i förordet till tredje boken att "Den ofvan nämnda boken om Lincoln trycktes i en mycket begränsad svensk-amerikansk upplaga, men den amerikanska regeringen köpte förlagsrätten och lät oförtöfvadt utgiva en stor upplaga af boken i Sverige". En sådan upplaga finns verkligen, utgiven i Stockholm samma år. - - - Ernst Teofil Skarstedt (Bohuslän 1857-1929 Seattle) var en svensk-amerikansk författare och journalist, först biträdande redaktör på tidningen Svenska Amerikanaren och senare på Svenska Tribunen, som båda utkom i Chicago. År 1885 flyttade han till staten Washington och blev jordbrukare, men återgick 1888 till journalistiken och blev 1891 redaktör för tidningen Vestkusten i San Francisco. Skarstedt har i en mängd skrifter dokumenterat de svenska emigranternas historia och kultur i Nordamerika. - - - Three rare Swedish-American imprints, bound together in full cloth: biographies by Ernst Skarstedt of Lincoln and Roosevelt, and "American Types and Characters" (six portraits), in Swedish, printed at the Swedish "Vestkusten" printing office in San Francisco, 1918-19. Very small editions, the second and third works printed in just 120 and 150 copies (and both inscribed by the author). The Lincoln biography, also printed in a very limited edition, was reprinted in Sweden in the same year.

The Pippets of Solihull were a Roman Catholic family that worked closely on ecclesiastical designs with the Gothic Revival firm Hardman & Co (whose archives are held by the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery). Wilfrid also collaborated with J. B. Trinick on the striking illustrations to A. E. Waite's rosicrucian 'Album of the Great Symbols of the Paths' (1917-21; copy in the British Museum Department of Prints and Drawings). Eleven attractive illustrations in black ink (over pencil draft). Each on a piece of board ('Faced with Whatman Hand-made Paper'), and ranging in size from 16 x 19.5 cm to 15.5 x 13.5 cm. All in good condition, lightly aged and worn. Each is annotated in pencil, several with the line of poetry being illustrated, and some with instructions for transferring the illustration to a block. Several of the illustrations are to the ballad 'The Three Men of Yardley Chase', with one showing the three men (George, Ben and Hob) standing in front of a tree used on the front cover when the ballad was issued as a separate fascicule ('Part I', with 'Leather and Thread and Tears', 3rd ed, 1925). This illustration, and two others, are signed 'Wilfrid Pippet', while the other eight are signed 'W. P.' The most striking illustration (featuring on p.13 of the printed volume) is of the ghosts of the three men dancing over their graves around a tree with an owl in it. Two illustrations depict the doorway of the 'WHITE HART HOTEL | HELEN SMITH', one with three figures in Georgian dress in the foreground. Another shows the three men with 'Hedge-hog meat', and another (depicting a beggar with a raven on his shoulder is captioned with a line from the poem 'Base people bred to mar their peace'. There are also: a drinking scene (including mother with baby), a dandy admiring himself in the mirror with a woman in a bonnet behind him, a man and woman in Tudor costume, three men (with a badger) listening to a beggar with a crow on his shoulder, and two lovers, in seventeenth-century garb, in front of two trees with owl, pixie and white rabbit.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The First Printing published by Three Mountains Press and Contact Editions, Paris in 1925. The first issue was published one year before the first American trade edition, and eight years before the first UK trade edition. This copy does not have the London distributor's imprint blocked out. The BOOK is in Very Good condition. Original green printed self-wrappers. A very fragile production with the wrappers being totally inadequate for the heavy coated stock used for the text, and most copies, have to a varying extent, become detached from their wrappers over time. The front wrapper has become detached from the spine but otherwise, this copy remains firmly bound to its spine and rear cover. There is some loss at the spine ends and to the spine folds. The wrapper has cracked in places along the spine but is still very adherent to the text-block. Light age related markings to the wrappers. Internally some very light spotting to a few pages in places with some light toning to the text-block. Free from inscriptions. The debut novel from the English modernist author. A 'war-fairy-tale' with Aleister Crowley inspired occult and spiritual elements. The book is protected and comes together well in a removable Mylar archival cover. Despite its faults, this copy presents very well. A very scarce title to find in commerce in such collectible condition. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.

Zustand: Very good plus. First printing. First edition, in the rare original wrappers, of Stein's magnum opus, an influential Modernist epic. A metafictional account of the Hersland and Dehning families, Stein's AMERICANS was originally written (as the cover notes) in the first decade of the twentieth century. Told in Stein's characteristically repetitive style, the book was too radical for readers at the time, and wasn't published in any form until almost twenty years later when Ford Madox Ford brought portions out in TRANSATLANTIC REVIEW in 1924. The following year Robert McAlmon's legendary modernist press published this edition which, like most Contact productions, is notoriously fragile. Surviving copies are almost ubiquitously found rebound, and copies in the original wrappers, as here, are quite rare. A lovely copy of one of the founding texts of Modernism, which Stein herself rightly compared to Joyce's ULYSSES and Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu. 9.5'' x 7.5''. Original orange printed wrappers. One of 400 copies (with another 100 copies reserved for the US market). [4], 926, [2] pages. First and last gatherings professionally resewn/repaired. Some toning to pages. Wrappers with some mild soil, edgwear.

Wrappers. Zustand: Very Good with no dust jacket. 61 pages; Orig tan wrappers with red floral panel; light edge wear, some unobtusive areas of discoloration. Unopened. Internally clean. With "Contact Editions" label hinged over "Three Mountains Press" on title. The second of Ezra Pound's 'inquest' series of 6 books. 10.5 x 7". This is #7 of a limited editin of 300 on Rives paper. Robert McAlmon's 'Contact Press' acquired from William Bird his overuns in 1926, hence the changed publisher tipped in. In this Ford arrives at the conclusion that there is no difference between male and female intellectually.

Hardcover. First Edition. Square Octavo, 925 pages. In Very Good minus condition. Rebound in olive cloth covers with no text.

Shelf wear to the bottom edge of text block, age-toning throughout. Text block has sporadic penciled notes from a previous owner in margins and on front free end papers, and several pages are loose, but all remain intact. Loose extract of Edith Sitwell's review of The Making of Americans from the April 1926 issue of "The Criterion" journal laid in. Original brown wrapping bound-in. One of 500 copies printed by Maurice Darantiere for McAlmon's Contact Press in 1925. CX Consignment. Shelved in Case 2. Written between 1903 and 1911, Stein's The Making of Americans did not see publication until 1925 when McAlmon's Contact Press released it in an edition of only 500 copies (of which the copy on offer here is one). The printing was undertaken by Maurice Darantiere, who also printed Joyce's Ulysses for Sylvia Beach. The novel follows two families over the course of three generations (making use of numerous autobiographical elements), and employs Stein's trademark spare language and repetitious prose. These compositional strategies force the reader to confront the function and nature of prose, making the "fictional" narrative as much about the story told as about the act of writing. This is interest is further underscored by Stein's metafictional technique of including recurring commentaries and meditations on the writing of the novel itself. 1346112. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.

First Edition. First printing (regular issue); 500 copies on japan (per Wilson). Quarto (24cm x 20cm). Contemporary full burgundy morocco, with gilt spine-titles; floral endpapers; (3),925,(3)pp. External rubbing and wear; front joint rather tender, with partial splits and what appear to be old, amateur attempts at repair; internally clean, tight and complete. Very Good. One of perhaps 400 copies thus, as 100 copies from the edition were reserved for sale in the U.S. under the imprint of A&C Boni. There was a simultaneous deluxe issue of 5 copies on large paper. A presentable but somewhat fragile copy of Stein's early meta-fictional masterpiece. An earlier bookseller has pencilled the words "publisher's binding" on the front free endpaper. However, as Wilson notes there was no publisher's binding in leather - an unspecified number of leather-bound copies were indeed advertised by the publisher, but these were then bound to order, out-of-house. Wilson estimates that about thirty copies were so bound. Whether this is one of those copies, or a copy bound later, is a matter of speculation. We have noted a publisher's prospectus specifying copies to be available in "half-leather" (which this is not) - but also setting the limitation at 300, not 500, copies, leaving us sufficiently in doubt that we prefer to make no assertion one way or the other.

98, [1] pp. 8vo. First edition, One of 210 copies. First edition, One of 210 copies. 98, [1] pp. 8vo. One of 200 copies (of which 10 were on Vergé d'Arches), printed by Dijon printer Maurice Darantiere who issued books for McAlmon's own Contact Editions and its stable of authors (Hemingway, Pound, H.D., W.C. Willians, Gertrude Stein, and many other key modernists). He is perhaps best known for the herculean task of printing the original Shakespeare & Co. edition of Joyce's Ulysses. McAlmon was at the very center of the Mdernist movement through his publishing venture, and his books - including this collection of poems - are cornerstone works in their own right. Original French-folded printed wrappers. Entirely uncut and unopened, an exceptional copy in original condition.

First edition. Green printed self-wrappers. Modest erosion at the spine ends, a bright, very good or better copy. An attractive copy of this uncommon novel about the English post-war generation. A mystical exploration of English landscape and ancestral memory rendered in a densely symbolic prose style infused with pagan spirituality and occult resonance to suggest that the land itself possesses a numinous agency capable of both sustaining and claiming those who inhabit it.
