Item description from seller

Printed in the U.S.A. Date on the title page. Stated First Edition. First Printing. The light grey cloth shows toning along top edges and joints; corners are square and binding firm. The black cloth on spine has a faded spot at the base. The gilt metallic wrap-around band is still brilliant, all the way round, with bold black lettering---the images do not do it justice. Ernst Reichl design. The interior is completely clean and creamy-bright throughout, with only faint toning to the endpapers; however, the text-block fore-edge is toned and top-edge color is muted. NOTE: there is a glossy Publicity Photo of a rather rakish young Saroyan laid in. [Please see my 8 images of the actual book.] The original unclipped dust jacket ($2.50) is in lamentable shape---it is in four pieces, with several chips and a large tear across the rear; surprisingly, all text on the jacket is legible, except for the missing 'Random House' at the base of the very sunned spine. [Again, see images.] Saroyan "writes in such a fever of exaltation and with such lively and savage mockery that his readers are carried from height to height by his breath-taking virtuosity. The range of his tales is wide and their humanity is persuasive." (From the flap.) As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.

Description de la boutique

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.
