W. Somerset Maugham
Author's holograph ink sketch for the design of the jacket for "The Razor's Edge
London: William Heinemann 1944. W. Somerset Maugham's holograph ink sketch showing his jacket design concept for the American edition of his greatest novel "The Razor's Edge" executed in holograph black ink on a blank Western Union telegram form. Remarkably the design a somewhat more elaborate version of the stark UK jacket was not only considered by the publisher but followed pretty much to the letter. A striking piece of ephemera demonstrating that the author's intentions for the book were honored from the text to the jacket itself including his signature Moroccan symbol used on nearly all his books including reprints; and an interesting example of a major author's notion of self-representation. <br/><br/>In his somewhat autobiographical book "The Summing Up" Maugham wrote of the symbol: "I think my father had a romantic mind. He took it into his head to build a house to live in during the summer. He bought a piece of land on the top of a hill at Suresnes. The view was splendid over the plain and in the distance was Paris. There was a road down to the river and by the river lay a little village. It was to be like a villa on the Bosphrous and on the top flow it was surrounded by loggias. I used to go down with him every Sunday by the Seine on a bateaumouche to see how it was getting on. When the roof was on my father began to finish it by buying a pair of antique fire irons. He ordered a great quantity of glass on which he had engraved a sign against the Evil Eye which he had found in Morocco and which the reader may see on the cover of this book. It was a white house and the shutters were painted red. The garden was laid out. The rooms were furnished and then my father died." <br/><br/>Near Fine 6 x 8.25 inches.

W. Somerset Maugham story; David Goodis and James Gunn screenwriters; Vincent Sherman director; Ann Sheridan Lew Ayres Zachary
The Unfaithful Original Film Pressbook
Burbank CA: Warner Brothers 1947. Original Pressbook for the 1947 film noir. <br/><br/>A little-seen noir with an interesting history. Based on the 1940 film "The Letter" which is in turn an adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's 1926 short story of the same title first collected in "The Casuarina Tree". Written for the screen by David Goodis and James Gunn. The film infamously failed to give credit to Maugham's story though the fact that it was so studiously reworked probably has much to do with the author's lack of interest in making a legal matter of it. <br/><br/>Ann Sheridan plays a woman in distress accused of lying about her connection with a murdered man is eventually acquitted in court. Her character presents a unique picture of the noir female being neither afraid for her sanity or her life and yet a victim of postwar instability and infidelity in the context of being a military wife Silver et al. <br/><br/>16 pages saddle stapled folded once 11 x 17 inches. Very Good plus with slight separation at the spine a few tiny closed tears and light stressing to the fold. <br/><br/>Selby US. Silver Classic Noir. Spicer US. Warner Brothers unknown books

William Maugham [Charter House; Charterhouse History]:
W. Maugham Charterhouse History Autograph Letter Signed from William Maugham to Percy Gye discussing Charter House where he is resident.
14 December 1874; Charter House. Provides invaluable information on the traditions of Charterhouse the ancient charitable London institution. Maugham may well be the translator of Charles Tilt's 1828 edition of Friedrich Christian Accum's A Practical Essay on Chemical Re-agents. 4 pages 16mo grubby but in otherwise good condition. The first page has a mourning border. 'Saturday was the anniversary of the feast devoted to the memory of the founder and the brothers in health feasted in the banquetting hall and I dare say enjoyed themselves. I am on the sick list and was happily excused. I had my dinner in my own room and along with it they sent me half a pint of good Port. To day there will be at seven o'clock a dinner in the same Hall when the Governors and Master along with numerous nobility and men of importance will no doubt be present. To-day they have sent to me another extra dinner of good things & half a pint of Port.' He asks his correspondent about a reference to 'travellers' whom he guesses are or were bound for Italy. 'We can receive anything here and we can take away whatever has once been sent to our rooms except our gown which we are expected to take care of for two years and then it becomes our own & is replaced by a new one. We only wear the gown at dinner and in the chapel; but we can wear it all day within the premises. If any one should go outside in his gown he would be fined £2 to be paid out of his quarterly allowance. Besides a comfortable room with firing and candles and attendance abundant we receive 10£ quarterly for clothes &c. Tea Sugar and all groceries we must find ourselves as well as wine spirits &c. We have to find our crockery & many other things. We are found bed and bedding one table and one chair all the rest we have to find ourselves. One day when I first came here seeing my bare oak boards an old friend of mine a country gentleman went and ordered me at a warehouse a Brussels carpet so that the room now is more comfortable.' Discusses a promise made by Gye's father to supply him with shirts. He would like to hear news of Ernest Lionel and Herbert. 'We can do whatever may be to our benefit. I may teach or write so as to increase my income. The translator of Dumas' works is here and there are several other literary brothers poets &c.' In a postscript he says 'A hamper should always be sealed underlined with Wax. My room is No 80 Cloisters. Mrs. Stone the Matron has her suite of rooms on the floor beneath me.' 14 December 1874; Charter House. hardcover
