Price Theory: A Provisional Text Chicago: Aldine Publishing, 1962.. Chicago: Aldine Publishing, 1962. First edition of the economist's classic text on price theory used at the University of Chicago. Signed by Milton Friedman on the title page. Very good in wrappers. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Rare, especially signed. Friedman's exposition is the best nonmathematical treatment I have seen… [T]his collection and elaboration of some of Friedman's ideas is a very valuable supplement to standard graduate theory texts.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Viking, New York 1962 - Hardcover. First edition. First edition, first state with bright green cloth and yellow lettering along with the original orange topstain. Has the 5-word Kerouac blurb on the front inside flap of the jacket and $4.95 price. A near fine book in a very good dust jacket. Some soiling to the bottom of the boards and offsetting to the front and rear pastedown. Jacket has some wear to the extremities and at the head and foot of the spine. Light sunning to the jacket spine. Kesey's first book is set in a psychiatric ward in Oregon and is narrated by a giant, schizophrenic Indian named Chief Bromden. Kesey's reputation as serious novelist was later overtaken by his role as the master ceremony of acid tests and the head Merry Prankster. Still Cuckoo's Nest was turned into a successful film that featured Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher. The book, long a counterculture favorite, has continued to grow in popularity. Kesey has inscribed the book on the front end paper: "To Joe / The slowly murmered / occasion equals the / quick trick. / Ken Kesey " Such inscribed copies of the book are now quite scarce.

ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT REVIEW OF NANCY MITFORD'S "THE WATER BEETLE" With a first edition of Nancy Mitford's The Water Beetle (Hamilton, 1962) Taunton , 1962. Taunton , 1962. A single foolscap (214 x 328 mm) lined page containing approximately 600 words in holograph manuscript reviewing Nancy Mitford's "The Water Beetle" for the Daily Telegraph. Signed at the head of the page, Waugh has added "proof please to Combe Florey House, Taunton" to the margin in red ink. A single horizontal crease, otherwise fine. The review is a wonderful testament to the close friendship shared by Mitford and Waugh who loved nothing more than to tease and rag one another. Evelyn Waugh's review of Mitford's The Water Beetle was published in the Sunday Telegraph on 21st October, 1962. For many decades Evelyn Waugh and Nancy Mitford had been acquaintances. Their friendship, strengthened by a shared sense of humour and love of teasing, blossomed through frequent and intimate correspondence. In 1951 Waugh visited Mitford in Paris and wrote of her, "she leads you into her salon ... and talks, prattles, giggles - of what? Gossip, outrageous, incredible, entirely funny". Miss Nancy Mitford is full, he states, of "sweetness, happiness and inexpressible levity." During its preparation this book of essays was discussed at length between the correspondents. Commenting on her choice of title Mitford wrote, "I hope to disarm the critics by calling it The Water Beetle." The title being taken from Hilaire Belloc's, A Moral Alphabet: W for Water Beetle The Water Beetle here shall teach, A sermon far beyond your reach; He flabbergasts the Human Race, By gliding on the Water's face, With ease, celerity and grace, But if he ever stopped to think, Of how he did it he would sink. Upon receipt of an explanation for the title's derivation Waugh responds, "An excellent, disarming title making everything easy for reviewers. How I look forward to the book." On 10th October Waugh wrote to Mitford to say he had received a copy of her book and had very much enjoyed it, apart from the "coarse" drawings by Osbert Lancaster. He also mentioned that he was writing a review for the Sunday Telegraph and concludes, "I hope I say the right thing. I delight in the book." Miss Mitford may have been surprised therefore when the review began in Waugh's typically acerbic style, "The contemporary English literary world may be conveniently divided into: those who can write but cannot think, those who can think but cannot write, and those who can neither think nor write … Nancy Mitford, by her choice of title, puts herself in the first class." Waugh goes on to praise the fluency of the writing in these essays, which range from childhood reminiscences to discussing Scott's expedition to the Antarctic "and she does it all with ease, celerity and grace… all is told in the same gay artless, artful manner as though in one of those salons whose demise she tearlessly regrets…capable of such gaffes as describing Oates's disappearance in the blizzard as suicide." He concludes, "This accumulation of short pieces brings only delight.... [Mitford] constantly flabbergasts the present reviewer. When most of our writers have sunk, she will still be gliding on the water's face." Mitford's response upon reading the printed review is unsurprising, "You are a brute…. Oh how I screamed at your review …many thanks for flaying me alive, poor little unpretentious Water Beetle."

[Small Archive of Material for an Unproduced Film:] THE THIRD FORCE Los Angeles. Various dates but chiefly 1962 - 1963.. Los Angeles. Various dates but chiefly 1962 - 1963.. Two two carbon typescripts, plus file of correspondence. Generally good to very good. A small but interesting file of material relating to this unproduced film project, a fictionalized treatment of UN Peace Keeping Forces drawing on their involvement in the Congo. The lot includes two variant drafts of a treatment, 99 leaves and 86 leaves, the latter in specially printed production binder, with several rather frayed revised inserts laid in, with scattered manuscript corrections and deletions. Also present is a file of dozen pieces of correspondence relating largely to research, but as well to trying to place the project. The most significant item among the latter is a long, single-spaced typed letter to Nugent from Frank Capra, rather messily typed, with corrections, signed "Warmest regards, Frank," responding in enthusiastic detail after his reading of the treatment, but declining to get involved due to commitment to another project. He writes, in part: "The best dramatic impact your script has for me is the glorification of men who give their lives to help avert another World War. This is new and important and dramatic. This is worth making a picture about; volunteer soldiers from every clime who give their all to prevent a holocaust...." [Bookseller: William Reese Company - Literature ABAA-]

Autograph working manuscript in condensed score of the Divagazioni sopra un'Allemanda di John Bull per Orch. [7 variazioni su un'Allemanda di John Bull], signed. . 48 pp. Folio (ca. 345 x 244 mm.). Unbound. Notated in both ink and pencil on 16-stave music manuscript paper. Heavily annotated with amendations and corrections throughout and including sketches and sections ultimately cancelled. Several movements dated by the composer at their conclusion, indicating that the work was written over a period of time extending from September (or earlier in 1962) to December of 1962 in Rome. Housed in a card folder with a presentation inscription from the composer's daughter Vittoria. With movements listed, together with performance times, to title as follows: "Tema - Allemanda del Duca di Brunswick (1:15), Balletto (.60), Passacaglia (2.42), Corrente (1.48), Siciliana (2.25), Gaglilarda (2.55), Sarabanda (3.50), Fanfara e Corale (5)." The order of the movements has been revised, both on the title and within the manuscript.. An Italian composer, conductor and critic, Guerrini studied with both Torchi and Busoni at the Bologna Liceo Musicale, going on to direct the Florence Conservatory (1928-47), the Bologna Conservatory (1947-9), and the Conservatorio di S Cecilia (1950-60). "His earlier music combines high seriousness, at times somewhat academic, with luxuriant chromatic harmony reminiscent of Bax or, more significantly, Alfano. The textures and orchestration sometimes suggest Strauss, as does Guerrini's interest, around 1920, in the symphonic poem; and there are indications, too, of Ravel's influence... The most substantial and imaginative of his early works is his second published work in the genre, L'ultimo viaggio d'Odisseo, which shows his harmony and orchestration at their most evocative. Also notable, in this early period, are the chamber compositions: the Violin Sonata is typical, combining succulent chromaticism with reiterative thematic developments. In time Guerrini's academicism grew more pronounced, while his tendency to romantic indulgence was tempered by a new, architectonic sobriety. His best work after 1930 is in religious music: the gravely expressive Missa pro defunctis, though conservative, is free from the tiredness that mars much of Guerrini's later output. On a different line of development, the Sette variazioni sopra una sarabanda di Corelli may, in their ingenious rethinking of material from the remoter past, reflect the influence of his teacher Busoni."

Five Girls New York: Crown, 1962.. New York: Crown, 1962. First edition. Large quarto, original red cloth. Signed by Sam Haskins on the front endpaper. Light rubbing to the bottom, else fine in a fine dust jacket with just a modicum of rubbing. Also laid into this volume is a signed photograph printed by Haskins. The photographers first book, beautifully reproduced in gravure. In his foreword to this work Haskins wrote, "Five Girls represents many things to me. A serious project that served as a clearing house for graphic ideas which were floating around in the back of my mind. A fun project which was a relief from highly disciplined advertising illustration. An opportunity to control the full cycle of an undertaking, from the first conception of the idea and choice of approach, through the photographic processes and selection of pictures, to the final detailed layout and design. I do not like to dream up explanations for my work. That is why this book is, quite simply, me thinking pictures." A sharp copy, uncommon signed. Cowboy Kate's publication by Crown in 1965 contributed to Sam Haskins international reputation for signature photographic passions. It was one of the first 20th century artistic pieces to creatively use black-and-white photographic grain as a medium for expression and image design. After selling a million copies worldwide, Haskins won the Prix Nadar in France in 1964, and his book continues to influence artists of photography, film, and fashion nearly five decades after its publication. Cowboy Kate was the beginning of Haskins' success, and his other awards include the International Art Book Competition, Israel in 1969, the One Show Gold Medal, NY in 1974, and the Kodak book of the Year in 1980.

Dead Cert - a very good, flat signed first edition, first printing Michael Joseph 1962 - Published by Michael Joseph (London) in 1962, this is a very good, signed first edition, first printing of the first novel by Dick Francis. The book is in very good plus condition. It is square and remains tightly bound. The boards are fresh and clean. The gilt lettering to the spine is bright and faultless. There is a tiny nick to the bottom of the front board and a small almost indiscernible amount of colour deterioration to the very bottom edge of the spine. The edge of the text block has some foxing and is age toned. The pages to the book have browned universally. Mr Francis has flat signed the front title page in his usual bold and slightly slanted style. The unclipped dust jacket is the first state and shows the correct price of 15/-. It is complete with little if any edge wear. It too has yellowed and the publishers name has faded from the spine – as is usually the case with this particular book. There are no repairs or touch ups and the dust jacket is now protected by an acid free archival sleeve. A desperately difficult book to find flat signed in first edition. Auctions and websites are littered with copies which have book-plates, tipped in signatures and dedications. This is an honest to goodness flat signed copy of one of the most difficult modern first editions to find in very good, collectible condition. The images you see are high resolution scans of the actual item. Please request further scans if you wish. We will be happy to oblige. The book will be dispatched via the Royal Mail in protective packaging. We do not charge postage to buyers within the UK. Those from outside the UK are asked to contact us before purchasing. We offer a 7 day no quibble full refund if the item is not as described and shown. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover] [Bookseller: Etbooks]
