A propos de cet article

NEWTON, A. Edward. The Amenities of Book-Collecting and Kindred Affections. Boston: The Atlantic Monthly Press, 1918. First Edition, FIRST ISSUE with the errata slip tipped in at p. 268, in the scarce first-state publisher’s glassine dust wrapper. With two AUTOGRAPH INSCRIPTIONS by the author. Octavo (8vo). xxi, 355 pp. Color frontispiece and numerous plates and illustrations in text. Original cloth-backed paper-covered boards with printed paper spine label; top edge gilt. Preserved in the original publisher’s glassine dust wrapper, priced $3.50, and housed in a custom folding case. Illustrated throughout, including the color frontispiece caricature of William M. Thackeray and Charles Dickens, retaining the original tissue guard. A signed copy bearing two separate autograph inscriptions by A. Edward Newton. On a preliminary blank Newton writes: “This is an ‘honest to God’ first edition with all its blunders on its bloomin’ head and has sold for a price far beyond its real value in the judgment of its author.” Signed “A. Edward Newton.” The inscription is appropriate to Newton’s celebrated work on book collecting, commenting directly upon the bibliographical faults and market value of his own first edition. A second inscription by Newton appears beneath the Johnson-and-Boswell illustration A Tour to the Hebrides, where he writes “Amenities! Amenities!” and again signs “A. Edward Newton.” The presence of two separate authorial inscriptions makes this a particularly attractive copy of Newton’s classic work on bibliophilia and the collecting of first editions. Contents generally clean and unmarked. Binding sound and square. Boards clean with light age wear. Original glassine dust wrapper toned and chipped, with substantial loss at the lower spine and adjoining front corner and wear along the edges. A Very Good first issue edition with two inscriptions by the author in its scarce glassine wrapper, protected in a custom slipcase. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover; Illustrated; In Dust Jacket; Signed.].…
