hardback first edition jacket (24 résultats)

A first printing of the UK hardback - in a protected jacket that is unclipped. With such a wonderful subject you would think that Simon & Schuster would have printed this on a decent paper! Like all copies this has a tanned text block. Despite this it is a wonderful account of a profoundly important subject.

Jean Hartley evokes the 50s and the 60s brilliantly, and the small press became an important chapter in the literary history of the time. Obviously of interest to the Larkin collectors but it really is more than that. This is a tight clean first edition hardback, in a brilliant protected jacket that has been price clipped.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. This has all the expected first edition factors, but it is not PERFECT. It has a slight lean because it has been read.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. Superb first printing, looks unread. This fine writer is well worth reading as well as collecting.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. PRIMO LEVI SAID: I hope the reader will be indulgent toward the extreme dispersion of themes, tones, and angles of approach that he will find in this collection. My justification is: the 'pieces' are situated in an arc of time that is close to a quarter of a century, the time of my almost total fidelity to LA STAMPA: and in twenty-five years many things change, inside us and around us. Furthermore, they are conditioned by my intrinsic libertinage, in part willed, in part due to the itinerary fate has reserved for me; I've drunk at various founts and breathed different airs, some salutary, others quite polluted. . . I'm a normal man with a good memory who fell into a maelstrom and got out of it more by luck than by virtue, and who from that time on has preserved a certain curiosity about maelstroms large and small, metaphorical and actual. This from Primo Levi's introduction to THE MIRROR MAKER, his collection of short stories and essays. CLEAN AND TIGHT TEXTBLOCK, and the protected jacket is only lightly worn. Not price clipped.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is the largest book I have come across; it measures 2 feet high by 1 foot wide. I have never sent a book like this in the post so if you are interested I'm sure we can work something out. It is a FIRST EDITION HARDBACK, and it weighs a fair bit. It is an astonishing publication. For the aviation fan it is very simply STUNNING. Whether you are ten years old or a hundred; if you enjoy looking at wonderful photographs of exciting aircraft this is ESSENTIAL. The pleasure is further enhanced by the expert text. The jacket is complete and undamaged but it betrays a few signs of having been opened, hence my jacket rating of Near Fine. There are some people who will look at this and frame the pages, others will simply drool. It is special, it really is. Needless to say there will be extra postage depending on destination.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Memorably featured in the WW2 film The Way To The Stars, the poem, 'For Johnny', is included in this wonderful collection of RAF poems, written by a man who served in the RAF at the time. Considering the War Economy limitations this earns a Near Fine grading for book and jacket. The unclipped jacket has very minor damage and the book is unmarked and it is rare to find such a copy. A moving series of poems and a reminder of the noble sacrifices made by mostly very young men who gave their lives while fighting tyranny. And a good reminder to those ill educated people who criticise the RAF through ignorance.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. This was a ground breaking issue in 1967. First printing of a large format hardback in landscape format, beautifully produced by Nostalgia Press, with special care to reproduce the stunning line work of Alex Raymond. The cloth cover is beautifully gilt stamped with Alex Raymond's signature and the title. The endpapers are gorgeous. Taking the age into consideration this has few flaws; a former owner's signature, which is neat and dated '1967' is on the half title, and which dates this rather neatly; there are some slight foxing spots; the cover is complete but it has some fairly insignificant losses, chips and creases, but it is essentially complete and now protected. A super collectable of a true classic. Large format, very heavy, this might need extra postage charges depending on destination. Language: eng.

The protected jacket is usually damaged or missing, and the book is rarely found without sun damage, or with turned over corners. No owner names, not ex-library. A real pulp collectable.
