Lorac, E.C.R. (Edith Caroline Rivett)
        Murder in Chelsea. (Scarce Dust Jacket) A Biblio-Mystery
      The Macaulay Company., New York 1935 - Handsomely bound in finey woven red cloth, stamped brightly in orange on the spine and on the front boards. Very clean and tight throughout. In the striking original dust jacket featuring a frightened woman with luminous eyes. The jacket is heavily chipped at the top and bottom of the spine ends and at the corners. There is heavy edge-rubbing along the folds, and the price has been clipped at the top of the front inside flap. Several small pieces are missing along the edges, but the jacket is scarce and the cover art is wonderful. It is the habit of Scotland Yard to assign Inspector Macdonald only to cases that are worthy of his superbly intelligent scrutinies--now famous to the readers of his achievements. His new case is the death of a young lady by gas while in bed--and her face just freshly cold-creamed. The young lady, furthermore, is an intellectual and a bibliophile--a partner in a bookshop and rental library. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

        Ulysses
      The Limited Editions Club, New York 1935 - FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF ULYSSES, ONE OF ONLY 250 COPIES SIGNED BY BOTH JAMES JOYCE AND HENRI MATISSE; one of the most celebrated books of the twentieth century. The Limited Editions Club's Ulysses is the first illustrated Ulysses and "one of the very few American livres de peintres issued before World War II. According to George Macy, who undertook this only American publication of Matisse's illustrations, he asked the artist how many etchings the latter could provide for five thousand dollars. The artist chose to take six subjects from Homer's Odyssey. The preparatory drawings reproduced with the soft-ground etchings (Matisse's only use of this medium) record the evolution of the figures from vigorous sketches to closely knit, if less spontaneous, compositions" (The Artist and the Book, 197). Illustrated by Matisse with twenty-six plates, consisting of six soft-ground etchings, printed by hand, and twenty lithographic drawings, made as studies for the etchings, printed on thin colored papers. One of only 250 copies signed by both Joyce and Matisse (the remaining 1250 copies of the edition were signed only by Matisse). New York: The Limited Editions Club, 1935. Quarto, original brown buckram embossed in gold on front cover and spine from a design by LeRoy H. Appleton; top edge sprinkled brown, others uncut; original slipcase. Minor wear to slipcase.

Modern half morocco and cloth folding clamshell case. First American printing of the corrected Odyssey Press text. From an edition of 1500 numbered copies, signed by Matisse, this is one of only 250 copies signed as well by Joyce. A textually significant edition, whatever the shortcomings of its design (by George Macy) and the inappropriateness of the illustrations (Matisse illustrated Homer rather than Joyce, a factor allegedly contributing to Joyce's reluctance to sign the entire edition). "One of the very few American livres de peintres issued before World War II. According to George Macy, who undertook this only American publication of Matisse's illustrations, he asked the artist how many etchings the latter could provide for five thousand dollars.

Humphrey Cobb
        Paths of Glory
      New York: The Viking Press, 1935. 265 p. Advance uncorrected proof, untitled. First edition, first printing. Very Good condition. Originally issued in wraps, later rebound (apparently by former owner) in green cloth with gilt lettering at an unknown date. Clean pages. First page (the original cover) age-toned, foxed, and a bit soiled. Former owner's name on front paste down. A bit of light foxing to edges. At this novel's completion, the author still didn't have a suitable title, so the publisher made the title selection a contest with a $50 reward for the winner. Paths of Glory would be the author's only book, later finding fame with Stanley Kubrick's film adaption. An unusual proof.

Obelisk Press] ANDERSON, Robin
        Four Schools
      Obelisk Press, Paris 1935 - Small 8vo, pp. 118. Original red stiff paper wrappers, lettered in black on front panel and spine. Light chipping to spine ends, production-fault creasing to spine paper, a little bumping to corners. A very good copy of a very fragile item. First edition. A tirade against the English public school system, published when its author was still only twenty-one years old. Anderson's targets include Marlborough College (here re-christened 'Knarlesborough') and L'Ecole de Commerce in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The Obelisk Press was an English-language, Paris-based imprint, run by a Mancunian expatriate called Jack Kahane. Kahane specialised in the publication of books which either had been banned in the USA or England, or which were unable to find a publisher in their home countries for fear of prosecution. Four Schools shares the same cover design and typeface as Henry Miller's Aller Retour New York, also published by Obelisk in late 1935. Anderson's book, dull both in subject matter and execution, may have been taken on by Kahane as a piece of paid-for vanity publishing, printed at the same time as Miller's book to save money. The extreme scarcity of Four Schools suggests a tiny print run. A very good copy of one of the rarest of all Obelisk titles. Pearson A-36.
