A propos de cet article

Kitchell, Joseph Gray. The Earl of Hell. New York & London: The Century Company, [1924]. First edition. Octavo, pp. [1-6] [1-2] 3-325 [326-330: blank]. Original orange cloth, front and spine panels stamped in black. Presentation copy with signed inscription by Kitchell dated 1935 on front free endpaper. A bright, near fine copy in about very good printed dust jacket with some edge wear, shallow chip from top edge of spine panel, tiny chip from upper right corner of front panel, and some dust soiling. #661. $75. A scientist compounds an antigravity material which is stolen by a foreign power. An overused theme by the 1920s. However, the novel is "unusual in stressing physical properties of the metal and its commercial exploitation, rather than using it as a device for adventures. As fiction, routine work, although the author seems to be better versed in the physical sciences than most authors who wrote about radium at this time." -- Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1236. Clarke, Tale of the Future (1978), p. 51. …

Description de la boutique

When I began my bookselling business in 1996 I called it "Eldritch Books" because that adjective at least partly covered the type of material I offered (and because its similarity to my own surname seemed so -- eldritch). "Ghost stories" would be another handy, if somewhat reductive, term. Most of it is fiction from the 19th and early 20th century with a strong emphasis on the fantastic. Since the most familiar and relevant genre terms in use today -- "science fiction," "fantasy," "supernatural," "horror" -- were not so much in use when these books were first published, pegging them that way can be anachronistic. But that should give you the general idea. I don't have much in the way of American pulp (either in magazine or specialty press book form) but otherwise my interests range widely from high-brow to middle-brow to low-brow to amateur/eccentric. You're more likely to find rare and obscure works here than high spots. (Or at least they're obscure now, whatever their status was when first published.) In 2001 I went to work for L. W. Currey as cataloguer and general assistant. Since 2014 I've been back working on my own. I have exhibited at convention fairs (such as WFC and Readercon) in the past. I began collecting and studying antiquarian fantasy around 1980. Some of my essays have appeared in genre publications such as NYRSF, Wormwood and F&SF. I tend to carefully research my inventory and write extensive notes. (If another dealer wishes to make use of any of these notes, I'd appreciate the courtesy of putting such excerpts in quotes and giving proper attribution to me. That's what I do when I quote from any of my reference works.) I will be gradually listing my inventory on ABE over the coming years. I hope you find something of interest. …
