Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Inscribed in the year of publication to the ffep by Seamus O'Sullivan "To Mary Lavin from Seamus O'Sullivan with best wishes for 1945". Quarter cloth & paper covered pale green boards.Very Good plus in the like d/w. First Edition, first printing. Printed at the Dublin University Press. Erratum slip tipped in. Seumas O'Sullivan was the editor of The Dublin Magazine, and Mary Lavin published her very first story, "Miss Holland," there in April 1939. O'Sullivan praised it as "a finished piece of work" whose "delicate restraint appealed greatly," and told her he would be glad to consider anything further she submitted. O'Sullivan was keen to encourage talented young Irish writers, and the relationship extended over many years. By March 1954, Lavin was writing to him as her "favourite editor" telling him she hoped her next volume would gain "a little lustre by an acknowledgement to The Dublin Magazine." The Dublin Magazine (which O'Sullivan edited from 1923 until his death in 1958) was a crucial venue for Irish literary talent of that era, and his championing of Lavin in 1939 came at an early and formative stage of her career, just as she was abandoning her PhD on Virginia Woolf in favour of fiction. The Mary Lavin papers at Binghamton University include correspondence to Lavin from Seumas O'Sullivan , confirming a personal relationship that went beyond formal editorial exchanges. We have not discovered any auction records of books inscribed by O'Sullivan to Lavin. A scarce association copy of a publication which is scarce in its own right. Inscribed by Author(s).…

Cloth. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good Plus. First Edition. New York: Gnome Press, 1950. First Edition. Introduction by Willy Ley. Edited by Martin Greenberg, this copy signed, inscribed and presented by him to Arthur C. Clarke. Octavo, 351 pp. Purple cloth-backed gray cloth boards, with silver spine titling and blindstamped launching-spaceship and star motif on purple margin. Pictorial dustjacket by sci-fi illustration luminary Edd Cartier. A near fine book, with only minor page edge soiling and a trace of partial spine fade, in a Very Good + jacket, showing light perimeter wear. Singular copy, inscribed and presented to Arthur C. Clarke by Greenberg, with provenance of unimpeachable order accompanying the book. An increasingly classic collection of short stories by some of the now-timeless sci-fi names. Willy Ley: "Here is a different type of anthology. This book, taken in its entirety, tells a story: the conquest of space. Moving from man's first attempt to reach the moon to the exploration of the ends of the universe, these stories are among the finest ever published." - Willy Ley. Hailed by critics at the time of its publication as a quantum leap forward in both quality and concept for science fiction anthologies, Martin Greenberg's thematically edited Men Against the Stars is a collection of twelve lengthy stories whose authors read like a Who's Who of Golden Age sci-fi, including Isaac Asimov, Murray Leinster, A.E. Van Vogt, L. Ron Hubbard [Hubbard's "When Shadows Fall" is here], and E.M. Hull. Not a slap-dash aggregation to get to the printer quickly, Greenberg's collection was a thoroughly contemplated and planned project, a selection of the very finest available stories on theme, ranging back as far as 1939. Nicely complimented by a Cartier's funky pure genre period stylization jacket. A sci-fi presentation copy of the highest sort, that of a veteran and astute editor to a future superstar. Arthur C. Clarke's reputation at the time was already becoming established, and Greenberg shows the admiration in his skilled critical eye for Clarke's sci-fi talents in his presentation remark. As always, please feel free to ask questions or request additional scans. L53n. Cartier, Edd [jacket] (illustrateur). Signed, Inscribed By Editor.…
