      [CaÃ±on City, CO]: R.M. Crane, 1932. First Edition. Either a finished manuscript or else a hand-produced copy for private circulation, consisting of mimeographed sheets bound in hand-typed wrappers. The text is a detailed account of the 1929 riot at the Colorado State Penitentiary -- at the time, one of the largest riots in the history of the American penal system; the October 3rd events claimed the death of 8 guards and 5 inmates, and ultimately caused over a million dollars in damage to the facility. Author Crane was not an eyewitness to the riot, but assembled his narrative from interviews with fellow inmates who were. Several notable accounts have been written of the Colorado riot, but this is the only one of which we are aware to be written from the perspective of the inmates. & & The account was later published, with substantial changes to the text and with a second author's name (Lloyd Frady) on the title page. For that edition, which we have handled on a couple of occasions, OCLC notes 7 locations, but none for this preliminary version.

Ransome, Arthur
        Swallowdale. Illustrated by Helene Carter.
      Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co. 1932. 8vo, 393 pp. With illustrations throughout in black and white, and a vignette on the title-page and one full-page plate in brown. Original brown cloth stamped in yellow, dust-jacket, a virtually flawless copy as issued. First American edition, a peerless copy as issued virtually impossible to find in this condition. Both the UK and the US first editions are extremely scarce. Ã’Swallowdale is the second book in the Swallows and Amazons series by Arthur Ransome. It was published in London in 1931 and a year later in the US. In this book, camping in the hills and moorland country around Ransome's Lake in the North features much more prominently and there is less sailing. A significant new character, Maria Turner, the Blacketts' Great Aunt, is introduced.& & Ransome was living in the Lake District and he drew on his experiences and memories of encounters over many years with the local farming community. Ransome had often climbed Old Man of Coniston and in the book, this becomes the children's Kanchenjunga. Expeditions to Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas had been much in the news while Ransome was writing the book.Ã“ (Wikipedia) The UK edition was illustrated by Clifford Webb and the US edition by Helene Carter, so the two editions are quite different.

The first and only collaboration between Harold Bell Wright, the enormously popular author of "The Winning of Barbara Worth" and "The Shepherd of the Hills," and his son Gilbert Wright, here writing as "John Lebar." An attack on "scientism," it did not sell well upon its first publication, and is considered by collectors of Wright's work to be one of the most difficult titles to find today, especially in such superb condition. .

Lovecraft, H[oward] P[hillips]
        AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) to "Dear Klarkash-Ton" [Clark Ashton Smith] written on both sides of a single sheet of plain 5 1/2" x 9 inch paper, signed "E'ch-Pi-El." The letter is not dated, but is accompanied by an envelope addressed to Smith in Lovecraft's hand which is postmarked 21 March 1932. The envelope has Lovecraft's full signature and 10 Barnes Street return address in his hand on the verso
      Faint fold creases, else fine, with "Mar 21, 1932" later added in. pencil at top of first page. Good content. (#114496). A chatty letter, relating literary news about himself and their fellow writers of weird fiction: the demise of Swanson's GALAXY magazine, which "died a-borning!," the purchase of a new fountain pen at Woolworth's, his aversion to "composing" on the typewriter ("the very sight of the damn thing empties my mind of all connected ideas and images"), typing a circulation copy of "Witch House" (when he "can get the nerve" to do so), his plan to "fix up a new note book of daemonic plots" as "I've lent my old one -- used since 1919 -- to various brother fantaseers from time to time, & it's just about worn to pieces," and the progress of stories by various mutual acquaintances. "Tucked into this letter, is one of those fragments of weird fiction that emerge spontaneously in some of Lovecraft's letters (though usually during the critique of some work by the recipient). Here, Lovecraft mentions that during a visit to a local museum he 'came upon a black, gleaming specimen which certainly cannot be other than an eikon of Tsuthoggna! It was a semi-shapeless congeries of nighted curves -- squat & swollen, & with a curious suggestion of flabby viscosity despite the superficially petrific composition... [and it] left little room for doubt that it once stood in some curtained niche... of some such arcane delver as Athlaphoros, who dwelt in the Street of the Alembics & vanished suddenly shortly before the desertion of the city...' All pretty juvenile, no doubt, but the boyish exuberance is hard to resist." - Robert Eldridge.

Edición limitada a 152 ejemplares solamente. Perfecto ejemplar muy bien encuadernado en la actualidad a media piel. =José Pedro Gil Moreno de Mora (1892-1945)(Fue el socio nº 3 de la Asociación de Bibliófilos de Barcelona). José Pedro Gil Moreno de Mora nació en París, ciudad en la que se formó como ingeniero y como artista grabador. Discípulo de Maurice Achener, sus ilustraciones guardan gran parecido en estilo y temática. Próximo al grupo de gentes que frecuentaban los salones artísticos y literarios parisinos de españoles e hispanoamericanos, llevó a la Asociación de Bibliófilos de Barcelona el gusto y las tendencias de las ediciones de bibliófilo francesas. Fue socio de la Agrupación de Amigos del Libro de Arte (ALA), la sociedad creada en París por Eugenio dOrs en colaboración con Adelia de Acevedo. Como grabador e ilustrador, es más conocido en Francia que en España. En París ilustró dos ediciones de bibliófilo de temática española: Para Édition dart Piazza, Constance: lillustre servante (1931), de Miguel de Cervantes. Al año siguiente salió su obra más conocida, Un soir à Cordue, de Georges Grappe, promovida por una sociedad de bibliófilos, Societé des Amis du Livre Moderne. Ambos libros están ilustrados con puntas secas, en el estilo delicado que caracteriza a este artista. Miembro fundador de la ABB, su intervención fue decisiva en la formación de la sociedad. Desde 1943 se reunían unos cuantos bibliófilos barceloneses para hablar de bibliofilia; entre ellos se encontraban José Pedro Gil Moreno de Mora, Ramón Miquel y Planas, Alfonso Macaya y el Marqués de Mura. En tales reuniones surgió el nacimiento de la institución bibliófila de la que fue vicepresidente. Size: 4º [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Fisher, Irving.
        Booms and Depressions: Some First Principles.
      Adelphi Publishers, New York 1932 - First edition. Octavo, original green cloth. An very good copy with some toning to the spine. Inscribed and dated by the author. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Uncommon, especially signed and inscribed. In this work, Fisher puts forth the theory that booms and depressions may stem from deranged money, or currency that is behaving irrationally due to various value-skewing factors such as debt, hoarding, confidence, and consumption. Considered to be "the father of monetary economics." [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; Hard Cover]

Woolf, Virginia.
        A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN
      McClelland & Stewart, Toronto 1932 - Woolf, Virginia. A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN. Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1932, 8vo., 172pp. Publisher's original blue boards, titles to spine gilt. A near fine fresh copy [neat contemporary name on the ffe.] in the blue printed dustwrapper of the First Canadian Edition, first printing. The most elusive of the First Editions having been printed in the US [possibly from Harcourt Brace supplied sheets] in an unknown but very small edition, [250 - 500 copies, a speculation]. A very nice example for the completist, the DJ has one repaired closed tear but is otherwise very bright & interesting in its yellowish tonal quality. Woolf's major polemic against patriarchy, based loosely on two lectures she delivered, one at Newnham and the other at Girton. Kirkpatrick and Clarke A12dd. Woolf observed in her diary, "I shall be attacked for a feminist". An increasingly uncommon & important Woolf title & 20th century literary highlight. Excellent copy. Noted in Kirkpatrick's latest edition. As far as we know, fewer than three or four copies in dustwrappers have surfaced in the last 30 years. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]
