A propos de cet article

BLUM, Richard (Tom Adams). A Small Personal Archive comprising two inscribed first editions together with an original Christmas photographic greeting. - An exceptionally appealing association collection relating to the American author, psychologist and anthropologist Richard Hosmer Adams Blum (1927-), who also published fiction under the pseudonym Tom Adams. - The archive consists of: 1. Death and Festivals. London: Robert Hale, 1968. First edition, first impression. Original cloth in the original dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "To John / Very best to you / Dick." and 2. Old Tom, Young Tom. Portola Valley: American Lives Endowment / Robert Hale, 1984. First edition, first impression. Original cloth in the original dustwrapper. Inscribed: "To John / in friendship, & very best wishes / Tom / AKA Dick." - The inscription is particularly revealing in that the author explicitly acknowledges both his literary pseudonym and his personal identity. The volume also contains approximately fifty-one contemporary pencil proof-reading corrections throughout the text. Whether these represent an author's review copy, a proof-reading exercise or a careful reader's annotations remains unknown but they considerably enhance the interest of the volume. and 3. An original personalised photographic Christmas greeting reading: "Merry Christmas & Happy New Year - Dick." - The greeting is composed of a montage of personal photographs and was clearly sent to the same recipient as the two inscribed volumes, providing excellent provenance for the collection. - A particularly attractive and coherent literary archive documenting the personal relationship between Richard Blum, his pseudonym Tom Adams and one of his friends. Collections of this nature seldom survive intact and offer considerably greater historical interest than isolated signed books. - END - Our orders are shipped within 1 or 2 business days. Thanks for your interest.…
