Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

(no dust jacket) [shelfwear to bottom edges with some exposure of boards, spine lettering and illustration heavily rubbed, otherwise a good sound copy]. (color plates, chapter-head drawings) Mild erotica, originally published in 1898, and best remembered today (if at all) because of its delirious 1935 film adaptation, THE DEVIL IS A WOMAN, directed by Josef von Sternberg and starring Marlene Dietrich and Lionel Atwill. The illustrations (color frontispiece, 9 color plates with tissue-guards intact, a title-page drawing, and chapter-head line drawings) feature lots of nekkid ladies (Ms. Tice's specialty) and bear captions along the lines of "She smiled with her legs as she spoke with her torso." This is stated on the limitation page to be one of "1250 copies of which 990 are for America." Although one is usually well-advised to take the professed numbers on these vintage-erotica items with a grain of salt, what makes this one especially interesting, though, is that instead of a number written into the blank space below the statement, the single word "presentation" is inked; in addition, on the half-title page is a 3-inch-tall *original* drawing (of yet another nudie) that is SIGNED by Clara Tice. (See second scanned image with this listing.) Signed by Illustrator.…

Shopbeschreibung

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
