P.S. What do you think of the market? 1920 - 8vo., original cloth backed paper covered boards lettered in green on upper board. Repair to tear on gutter of title-page otherwise a very good copy. First edition. Inscribed by the author. A series of 38 humorous fictional letters between an investor, Dave, and his broker Eddie. While satirical in tone, the letters offer insights into the worries and frustrations inherent in playing the stock market, and foreshadow the crash and subsequent depression that would come ten years later. “A. Kustomer” was the pseudonym of Jacques S. Cohen. At the time of the book’s publication, Cohen was the head of the Statistical Department at J.S. Bache & Co., a securities firm, and later worked at the firm of Baar, Cohen & Co. He also wrote numerous articles for The Financial World, also published by The Guenther Publishing Co., which was run by Louis Guenther. Louis Guenther is perhaps best known for the libel and blackmail suit he was embroiled in during the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1911, George Graham Rice, himself a known con artist, published an article in the magazine Adventure (owned by the Ridgway Company) accusing Guenther of using The Financial World as a blackmail scam, supposedly threatening various businesses with bad press if they refused to purchase advertising. Guenther fought back, ultimately winning a libel suit against The Ridgway Company in 1915. A few years later, Jacques S. Cohen, apparently unfazed by Guenther’s supposedly unsavory business practices, began publishing his “Eddie from Dave” letters in The Financial World as well as articles under his own name. Apparently unaffected by the scandal, The Financial World continued publishing until it folded in 1998. From the library of Harry Hoffman, presumably the same Harry Hoffman who was World Secretary of the American Exchange National Bank in New York in 1922. The inscription, which reads, “Harry Hoffman: To my friend and counsellor. Who if he had wisely counselled, perhaps I would not have written this bookâ€"Jacques S Cohen Dec 8/1920”, is the only indication that Cohen was indeed the author. Even James L. Fraser, an investment counselor who self-published a revised edition in 1966, did not know the identity of “A. Kustomer”. He writes in his introduction that even Richard Anderson, then-editor of The Financial World, knew nothing of Kustomer’s identity, and that it is, “one of the many little mysteries that often crop up when one digs into Wall Street’s past.” In 2013, the book was revised, annotated, and privately reprinted again as Letters to My Broker: P.S. What Do You Think of the Market? by Clem Chambers, a financial pundit as well as CEO of ADVFN, a financial market website. He too, did not know the identity of the original author. These reprints are a testament to this odd and obscure little book’s enduring relevance to the financial world. [Attributes: Soft Cover] [Bookseller: Henry Sotheran Ltd]

THE LURE OF THE PAST .. London: Stanley Paul & Co, [1920].. Octavo, pp. [1-7] 8-256, original tan cloth, front panel ruled in blind, spine panel stamped in black. First edition. "A weird horror novel about a Londoner who is drawn back, partly through the use of drugs, into his former lives in Egypt and Rome, a process that exhausts his vitality and attachment to the present until it kills him. Commercial fiction, to be sure, but a notch above the pulp turned out by Wright & Brown, Jenkins, etc., and, though not as rare as his THE WINE OF DEATH (1925), a scarce book as well. Only one holding given by OCLC (at UCLA, in the Nitka Collection -- as is the sole OCLC holding of THE WINE OF DEATH). This is not your grandmother's vaporous reincarnation romance." - Robert Eldridge. Bleiler (1978), p. 10. Reginald 00493. Early owner's signature on front paste-down. Cloth a bit rubbed at spine ends, corner tips and along outer joints, free endpapers tanned with some offset on first and last leaves of text, but overall a solid, clean, very good copy of an uncommon book.

The Feet of the Young Men, copy #11 of 377, signed by Kipling and the personal copy of Kipling's publisher, Nelson Doubleday Garden City, New York: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1920. Signed, limited, and numbered first edition. Hardcover. This is copy #11 of the first, signed, and limited edition of 377 copies and bears the personal library bookplate of Kipling's friend and publisher Nelson Doubleday. The poem The Feet of the Young Men, a celebration of the outdoors life, originally appeared in Scribner's Magazine for December 1897 and was first collected in book form in The Five Nations (1903). This is the first separate edition. Publication was driven by photographer Lewis Freeman, who contributes a 14-page introduction, in which he tells Kipling of his 15-year quest to collect photographs to illustrate the lines of the poem. Freeman relates how he first read Kipling's poem in 1904 in The Five Nations, and was immediately taken by the desire to pay tribute to the poem in a form that his words simply could not. There are 87 photographs on coated paper, most captioned by a line from the poem. This first, signed, and limited edition was issued in gilt-stamped quarter vellum spine over orange-yellow Japan paper covered boards with gilt double frame rules on outside borders and blind-stamped gold rectangular front cover panel, gray endpapers with alternating rows of swastikas and anchors, and contents printed on coated paper. This copy is in very good condition. The binding remains square and tight with sharp corners. We note customary toning to the vellum spine, though the gilt spine print remains legible. The boards are lightly scuffed and soiled. The distinctive endpapers remain intact and the contents show only mild spotting, primarily confined to the limitation and half-title pages. Kipling's signature and hand-numbered 11 remain distinct. The sole previous ownership mark is the decorative library bookplate of Nelson Doubleday affixed to the front pastedown. This book came to us from the library of Nelson Doubleday Jr., son of Nelson Doubleday, and grandson of Frank Nelson Doubleday, Kipling's friend and U.S. publisher and founder of the Doubleday publishing empire. F.N. Doubleday began work in the publishing industry working for Charles Scribner's Sons. His 18-year career with Scribner's included the task of assembling a complete set of Kipling's works for publication in a collected edition in 1897. His work with Kipling on this endeavor sparked a friendship and partnership that lasted for decades. Kipling affectionately gave Doubleday the nickname "Effendi", a play on the initials of his name - F.N.D. Frank's son Nelson was president of the firm from 1922 to 1946, as was Nelson Jr., from 1978 to 1983. This book has several instances of Kipling's swastika - on endpaper design, and on the title page. The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means good fortune, and this ancient hooked cross symbol was used at least 5,000 years before being polluted by association with Hitler's Reich. It remains a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. The swastika is a symbol common to many editions of Kipling's works and came to Kipling's attention through his father's encyclopaedic knowledge of Indian art. Iconic English poet, short-story writer, and novelist Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is chiefly remembered for his celebration of British imperialism, tales and poems of British soldiers in India, and his tales for children. Despite this reputation, Kipling's extraordinary body of work eludes all labels in its range and variety Kipling's work is not only of the highest artistic excellence, it is deeply humane and fully expresses the sense of one of his favourite texts: Praised be Allah for the diversity of his creatures.' (ODNB) Kipling was in his twenties when his stories of Anglo-Indian life made him a literary celebrity, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907. Kipling remains the youngest person to receive the Prize and was also the first English language author awarded. Bibliographic Reference: Richards A331 [Bookseller: Churchill Book Collector]

Spaziergänger. Lithographie. Signiert "R. Schlichter". Im Stein abermals signiert "R. Schlichter". Breitrandiger Druck auf Velin. 21 x 22,5 cm. Papier: 40,9 x 31 cm. Söhn HDO 72708-10. Eines 125 Exemplaren. Blatt 10 aus: Die Schaffenden, II. Jahrgang, 4. Mappe, 1920. Mit dem Trockenstempel "Die Schaffenden". - Der deutsche Künstler Rudolf Schlichter gilt als einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der Neuen Sachlichkeit. Schlichter studierte an der Kunstgewerbeschule in Stuttgart und an der Kunstakademie in Karlsruhe, u. a. bei Wilhelm Trübner und Hans Thoma. Schlichter unternahm mehrfach Studienreisen nach Italien und Frankreich und bekam durch seinen Malerkollegen Julius Kasper Kontakt zur Unterwelt. In Karlsruhe gehörte er zu den Mitbegründern der Gruppe Rih, übersiedelte dann nach Berlin, wo er sich der Novembergruppe, der Berliner Secession, den Berliner Dadaisten und der KPD anschloss. In den frühen 20er Jahren erschienen viele Buchillustrationen Schlichters. Sein Freundes- und Bekanntenkreis reichte von Bertolt Brecht, Sternberg, Alfred Döblin und Grosz bis hin zu Carl Zuckmayer, den er schon in Karlsruhe kennengelernt hatte. 1925 waren Werke Schlichters in der Ausstellung Neue Sachlichkeit in Mannheim zu sehen. Zwei Jahre später lernte er seine spätere Frau Elfriede Elisabeth Koehler, kennen und begann sich von der Politik abzukehren und dem Katholizismus zuzuwenden. Zu seinen Bekannten zählten nun Ernst von Salomon und die Brüder Ernst Jünger und Friedrich Georg Jünger. Unter den Nationalsozialisten wurden viele seiner Werke aus Museen entfernt und Schlichter wurde mit einem Arbeitsverbot belegt. Im Jahr 1939 zog Schlichter nach München, wo er unter anderem Kontakt zu Hans Scholl hatte, und sich der katholischen Zeitschrift Hochland anschloss. 1942 wurde Schlichter ausgebombt und verlor dabei einen Teil seiner Werke. Nach dem Krieg nahm er an der Ersten Deutschen Kunstausstellung in Dresden teil und gründete in München die Neue Gruppe. Gelegentlich arbeitete er für die satirische Zeitschrift Der Simpl. Sein Schaffen wandte sich jetzt dem Surrealismus zu. Rudolf Schlichter trat 1950 dem wiedergegründeten Deutschen Künstlerbund bei. - Schwache Griffknicke im Unterrand.

TUTT AND MR. TUTT. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1920., 1920. First edition. First edition. The correct first edition with the four errors contained on the "Contents" page. The very scarce first state with numerous errors on the Contents page, which is integral. The second state has the errors corrected and is on a stub. Four titles were incorrect, beginning with the first story, âMock, Etc.â corrected to âMock Hen and Mock Turtle.â A just about fine copy lacking the hopelessly rare dust jacket. Queen's Quorum 67 says, "It is interesting to note that in a list of books prepared by a committee of the Faculty of Harvard Law School for prospective law students -'books which will help them decide about the desirability of entering the legal profession or which will be of value in preparation for the study of law' - the tales of Tutt are included as 'an entertaining collection of short stories showing the great variety of questions which may confront a practicing lawyer and the chances for ingenuity.' So, Mr. Ephraim Tutt, tall and ungainly, with bony fingers and lank gray locks, with the inevitable stogy and the stove-pipe hat - in a phrase, the Lincolnesque legal beagle - has established his picturesque dignity even in the hallowed halls of Harvard - an academic acceptance seldom bestowed on fictional ferrets."
