[GREENHILL, ELIZABETH]. Flint, William Russell
        In Pursuit: An Autobiography
      London: The Medici Society, (1970). Small folio. (266) pp. One of 1050 copies signed by Francis Russell Flint, the artist's son. This richly illustrated work covers the varied career of this Scots artist, perhaps best known for his work with the Riccardi Press. It was published on what would have been Flint's 90th birthday, in accordance with his wishes; but he passed away just five months shy of that milestone. This book has been specially bound by Elizabeth Greenhill in full blue Oasis, featuring her characteristic "cloud" design comprised of multi-colored onlays. Here, the onlays are turquoise, black, green, pale red, and gray. These are interspersed with small straight horizontal lines tooled in gilt. Spine title in gilt. A.e.g. Greenhill credits John Harthan with coining the term "cloud" to describe her most typical binding style. He notes that this treatment is most often given to poetry, and that the variations in design and color "establish the binder's personal reaction to specific texts." In the present example, which was bound in 1971, the small gilt lines streaking across both panels almost seem like a horizontal rain against these colorful formations. Very fine in morocco-backed folding case.

Miller, Henry
        Insomnia or the Devil at Large
      Albuquerque, NM: Loujon Press 1970, edition "F". () Near fine. 23.5" X 19" wooden box containing: 12 prints by Miller (22" X 17"), a book of Miller's writings housed in a folding multicolored foil wrapper, a large photographic title page of Miller seated on a toilet, a large "half-title" printed on heavy card, two sheets of the Rafu Shimpo newspaper, and signed announcement from the publishers explaining the production delay. The wooden box has a sliding plywood cover with photograph of Miller and brass name plate engraved with "Arthur Goldsmith Jr." and "Ed. F". 4 inches of wood inlay perished from the top of the sliding cover, and one corner of the box has cracked but remains attached. Three of the prints are signed and dated by Miller (as called for in this edition) and have only the very subtlest of bumping to the corners. The book is signed and inscribed to Goldsmith by Jon Edgar Webb and Gypsy Lou Webb and is numbered #42 of 99. The fold edges of the book's foil jacket are lightly rubbed. Edition F was the first of the heavily limited editions of this complex work to have prints signed and dated by Miller, and our copy has three prints signed, as called for. Although 99 copies were planned, it is likely that only 65 were produced, and across all editions, it is likely that only 300 wooden boxes were constructed (Shifreen & Jackson A175f). The present copy was purchased by Arthur Goldsmith Jr, a journalist and collector of art and counterculture books, and includes a poignant signed note from the book's publishers explaining their move from Las Vegas to Tennessee. Jon Webb states "Lou can't take this dusty climate with her emphysema, so we're moving later this month... Believe it will be Nashville, Tenn. That's the plan now... Have no place there yet- must find one when we get there. Hope you like the Miller here- Best Jon + Lou" Jon was to die just months later (June 9th, 1971) in Nashville. Overall a very nice copy of a monumental production with bright, clean plates by Miller..

INSCRIBED by Ruppersberg as follows: "Note / the newspaper shown in one of the / "pieces" is only a marginal / statement and is not meant as / any kind of blanket over-simplification / for the entire book. Al Ruppersberg." An artist's book in the style of Ruscha and Feldmann: black and white images of hotel interiors are juxtaposed with banal domestic or landscape scenes, some of which are staged. The newspaper Ruppersbeg mentions in his inscription has a headline that reads "Art is Everywhere" and has been placed on an coffee shop table yet to be bussed. A clever and fascinating book, despite the truth in the artist's disclaimer.

Basis for the 1980 film, directed by William Friedkin and starring Al Pacino, Paul Sorvino and Karen Allen. Fine and unread in a Fine dust jacket.

Octavo (21.5cm); navy blue cloth with titles stamped in silver on spine; red topstain; dustjacket; 131pp. Signed on the first blank both as Ann Fettamen and Anita Hoffman, and dated Los Angeles 9/18/91. Fine in a lovely example of the original suppressed dustjacket, featuring the nude Hoffman's embracing in Nixon and pig masks. Dustjacket is unclipped with some trivial rubbing, else very Near Fine. & & One of the earliest titles (and certainly one the of earliest novels) published by the short-lived Straight Arrow imprint, the publishing arm of Rolling Stone.
