First edition of Jonesâclassic sequel to his first novel, From Here to Eternity. Octavo, bound in full morocco, gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, blind ruling to the front and rear panels, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. In fine condition. An exceptional presentation. âThe Thin Red Line is an ironic, disciplined war novel, plainly an attempt to show exactly what infantry combat was like in the Pacificâ (Vinson, 733). British historian and military writer John Keegan nominated The Thin Red Line as, in his opinion, one of only two novels portraying Second World War combat that could be favorably compared to the best of the literature to arise from the First World War (the other was Flesh Wounds (1966) by British writer David Holbrook). Paul Fussell said that it was "perhaps the best" American WWII novel, better than A Walk in the Sun and The Naked and the Dead. The novel has been adapted for cinema twice, first by Andrew Marton in 1964, then by Terrence Malick in 1998.

First edition of Hemingway's first novel, one of 1250 printed. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco and chemise slipcase. Ernest Hemingwayâs first novel and third published book was preceded by Three Stories and Ten Poems and the collection of stories In Our Time. âHemingway was planning a carefully engineered campaign for breaking his contract with Boni and Liveright and maneuvering to place his novel [The Sun Also Rises] with Scribnerâs. The vehicle was⦠[the] satirical novel, The Torrents of Spring, which was clearly calculated to cause problems with his publisher, since it was a deliberate parody of Sherwood Anderson [Boni and Liverightâs best-selling author]. Boni and Liveright had the option on his next three books, one of which had to be a novel. If, however, they turned down the book that Hemingway submitted next, he was free of his obligations to the publisher and could go elsewhere.â Hemingway wrote Ezra Pound that he âhad written âa funny bookâ⦠It was a satire on America, he claimed, âProbably unprintable but funny as hell⦠Wrote it to destroy Sherwood [Anderson] and various others⦠Itâs first really adult thing have done. Jesus Christ it is funny⦠It is a regular novel only it shows up all the fakes of Anderson, Gertrude [Stein], [Sinclair] Lewis, [Willa] Cather, Hergo [Joseph Hergesheimer] and all the rest of the pretentious faking bastards⦠I donât see how Sherwood will ever be able to write againâ (Mellow, Hemingway).

First edition of Zelda Fitzgeraldâs only novel, a semi-autobiographical account of her life and marriage to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with some chips, tears and repairs to the spine. First editions in the original dust jacket are rare. By the 1930s, Zelda Fitzgerald had already been in and out of psychiatric facilities, and her husband was stalled writing his next work; he had not produced a novel since 1925's The Great Gatsby. After an episode of hysteria, Zelda was admitted to the Phipps Clinic at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore on February 12, 1932 for treatment by Dr. Adolf Meyer, an expert on schizophrenia. As part of her recovery routine, she spent at least two hours a day writing. Zelda developed a bond with a young female resident, Dr. Mildred Squires, and toward the end of February she shared an aspect of her novel with Squires, who wrote to Scott that the novel was vivid and had charm. Meanwhile, Scott became worried that Zelda's treatment would consume all his money, so he set aside his novel to work on short stories to fund the treatment. Zelda wrote to Scott from the hospital, "I am proud of my novel, but I can hardly restrain myself enough to get it written. You will like itâ"It is distinctly Ãcole Fitzgerald, though more ecstatic than yoursâ"perhaps too much so." Zelda was writing furiously; she finished the novel on March 9 and sent it to Scott's publisher, their friend Maxwell Perkins at Scribner's. When Scott finally saw the manuscript, he was outraged. Zelda's novel had drawn heavily on her own life, as had Scott's previous writings; but Scott was irked because the novel he had been working on for four years drew on many of the same events in their shared life. He was also angry that she had named one of her characters Amory Blaine, the protagonist of Scott's first novel This Side of Paradise. Zelda wrote him "I was also afraid we might have touched the same material." Scott forced her to revise extensively, though the precise extent of the revisions is unknown because her original manuscript and initial revisions are all lost. (Scott would use much of the same autobiographical material in his 1934 novel Tender Is the Night.) Eventually she won Scott's approval; he wrote to Perkins, "Here is Zelda's novel. It is a good novel now, perhaps a very good novelâ"I am too close to tell. It has the faults and virtues of a first novel. . It is about something and absolutely new, and should sell." It was published on October 7 with a printing of 3,010 copies (not unusually low for a first novel in the middle of the Great Depression, and sold only 1,392 copies for which she earned $120.73 (Milford, 264).

First edition of Roosevelt's important collection of first-hand hunting accounts, including a lengthy description of newly created wilderness reserves. Octavo, original cloth, gilt titles to the spine and front panel, frontispiece portrait of Roosevelt with tissue guard present, illustrated with photographs. Signed by the author in the year of publication on the second preliminary leaf, "with regards of Theodore Roosevelt Dec 11th 1905." In near fine condition, crease to the front free endpaper. Trade editions are uncommon signed, especially in the year of publication. "Like Audubon, William Elliott and Judge Caton, Roosevelt liked to chase deer with horses and hounds: âTo be able to ride through woods and over rough country at full speed, rifle or shotgun in hand, and then to leap off and shoot at a running object is to show that one has the qualities which made the cavalry of Forrest so formidable in the Civil War.â This volume also contains an excellent chapter on âBooks on Big Gameâ in which Roosevelt reveals his admiration for two other giants among deer hunters: Judge Caton and T.S. Van Dyke" (Wegner, 234).
