Item description from seller

New York: Atheneum, 1966. Fine condition in a Very Near Fine dust jacket (price clipped). Only one short (3/8th inch) closed tear to the edge of the jacket's rear panel. NO chips. NO creases. NO fading. Protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. Pages are fresh and crisp. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. 1966. First American Edition (so stated). A reference work often cited by booksellers in their catalogue descriptions. Don't confuse this with the University of Texas exhibition catalogue. Bound in the original silver-stamped black cloth. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "Cyril Connolly has chosen as his 'Key' books those which best illustrate the spirit of the modern movement which dawned with Flaubert and Baudelaire, reached its zenith early in the century, and only became past history in the fifties - if it has become past history. In selecting the one hundred titles Mr. Connolly has taken as his criterion not personal preference, but the importance of each work in the setting of the movement itself. Of course, not everyone will agree, and disagreeing with Mr. Connolly's choice may well become a parlour game amongst fellow literary critics and others. But the greatest value of the book is to those not yet in a position to argue with the compiler, to whom his taste, erudition and critical genius will open new paths. Mr. Connolly has plotted a course through seventy years of literature which can be followed with benefit and much enjoyment by all students of literature. The one hundred titles are divided into four periods, each of which is briefly introduced; the whole is prefaced with a stimulating analysis of the modern movement as a whole in which Mr. Connolly explains his choice of books. Each book is dated and briefly described in a short paragraph or two which includes information on the author's other works and sets the book in its place in the movement. The book is completed by a full bibliography which includes details of available British and American and French editions as well as information on translations.". First American edition (so stated). Hardcover. Fine condition/Very Near Fine DJ (price clip). Illus. by Glaser, Milton (jacket design). (ix), 149pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
