THE SHIP OF ISHTAR .
New York London: G. P. Putnam's Sons 1926. Octavo pp. 1-2 i-iv v-vi 1 2 3-326 327-328: blank note: final leaf is a blank original red-brown cloth front and spine panels stamped in cream. First edition. An early copy of Merritt's second book. Although Wentz notes "several printings" and G. Gordon Dewey in FANTASY ADVERTISER December 1948 notes five "printings" there was but a single printing. ". Putnam had been unable to sell a pitifully small edition of a thousand copies of THE SHIP OF ISHTAR in book form and the sheets for the last three hundred copies were finally purchased by Munsey and were bound and distributed to readers of ARGOSY-ALL-STORY Magazine." - Sam Moskowitz Explorers of the Infinite Cleveland: World 1963 p. 203. This book is found in numerous variant bindings no priority established this copy bound in red-brown mesh weave cloth with yellow stamping and top edge not stained. ". the most fully realized of all his fantasies." - Cawthorn and Moorcock Fantasy: The 100 Best Books 36. "The most romantic of Merritt's works. Very uneven as a novel. Sometimes fascinating sometimes dull; pretentious yet with a knowing wink of humor now and then; finely imagined if not always executed." - Bleiler The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1157. Anatomy of Wonder 1976 3-42. Ashley Who's Who in Horror and Fantasy Fiction pp. 130-31. Barron ed Fantasy Literature 3-246. Bleiler ed Supernatural Fiction Writers: Fantasy and Horror pp. 838-39.

Dwellers in the Mirage
London: Skeffington 1932. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo. 287pp. Beautiful First British Edition second issue of this classic "lost race" story published shortly after it's first appearance in Argosy magazine. Lacking the publisher's catalog in rear. Bound in red cloth with black borders and lettering. Square tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. A touch of off-setting to end-papers but remarkably well-preserved. Very attractive unclipped though unpriced dust-jacket 7/6 net on the spine panel has some fairly mild edge-wear and toning to spine. There are also small tape reinforcements to the joint and spine ends on the reverse which are seemingly unnecessary as there are no tears. Still fresh and bright example with no creases or chipping . A sharp collectable copy of a quite uncommon book scarce in dust-jacket and at a great price. Skeffington hardcover
