The great writer's guide to the Old World's only surviving city. Inimitably written in Vidal's characteristically brilliant style it thereby sets itself apart from ALL other accounts; there are many and are quite superb. If the ruins of Athens and Rome be our link to the Age of Antiquity Venice largely remains as it once was "the world's most romantic city" albeit submerged in fetid waters. "Gore Vidal traces his roots back to Venice. He takes you along as he peers into Venice's mysterious glorious and twisted history. In this very personal tour of Venice Past and Present Vidal guides you in his own special way telling you as much about the Venetian people as he does about their empire including visits to Crete and Naxos Venetian strongholds of the past. The great writer who traces his ancestors to the imperial Venetians centuries ago is an excellent guide: The art treasures the sumptuous palaces the literary past the scandals of yesterday and the tourist-y Venice of today all find their place in Vidal's chronicle as he wanders from the canals to the Doge's Palace. This is Venice as only Vidal's eyes could see it" Publisher's blurb . An absolute "must-have" title for Gore Vidal collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Gore Vidal. It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. It comes with the original VHS tapes of the film version-adaptations "Vidal In Venice: Part One" and "Vidal In Venice: Part Two" narrated by Gore Vidal and beautifully filmed by Mischa Scorer both in pristine un-used condition. This title is a great book. As far as we know this is the only such signed copy with original tapes of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing American available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws are subsequent printings or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare set thus.

‎VIDAL, Gore [Cyril RITCHARD]‎

‎VISIT TO A SMALL PLANET‎

‎NY: Gloria Enterprises 1957. Signed by Cyril Ritchard the star of the play on the front cover. A large 12-page program promoting the play. “Visit to a Small Planet†debuted as an original television production in 1955 then was reworked by Vidal as a Broadway play starring Cyril Ritchard and Eddie Mayehoff. On Broadway the play debuted on February 7 1957 and ran for 388 performances. It was Vidal's first Broadway play. Ritchard who also directed the play received a Tony Award nomination for his performance as Kreton. Mayehoff also received a nomination for Best Performance by a Featured Actor. Vidal intended the play as a satire on the post-World War II fear of communism in the United States McCarthyism Cold War military paranoia and the rising importance of television in American life. The play a comedy tells the story of Kreton an alien from an unnamed planet who lands on Earth intending to view the American Civil War. He miscalculates and lands instead 100 years later. Having missed the opportunity to see conflict first hand but delighted with all the new playthings the 20th century has invented for war-making he decides to create a war for himself. “Visit To A Small Planet†was made into a film starring Jerry Lewis. The film was released on February 4 1960. Quarto printed wraps; 16 pages. Photographs by Friedman-Abeles. Very Good covers nice; contents clean & tight. Gloria Enterprises unknown‎

‎VISIT TO A SMALL PLANET A COMEDY AKIN TO A VAUDEVILLE‎

‎Boston Toronto: Little Brown and Company 1957. INSCRIBED TO JOANNE WOODWARD AND DATED BY THE AUTHOR on the front free endpaper. "To Miss Joanne Woodward-for whom the beautiful part of Ellen was written- Gore Vidal Aug. 1957". One small area of rubbing and brown stain lower 1/3 of spine. Small water mark at top of rear cover. Jacket is darkened at creases some chipping with 1" piece missing from spine at lower portion of "Planet". Light water-stain top of rear panel. Original $2.95 price on front blurb. Photo of Cyril Ritchard and Eddie Mayehoff on rear panel.This is the play based on the television script for an episode of Goodyear Television Playhouse aired on May 8 1955. The play starring Mr. Ritchard who also directed the play ran 388 performances in 1957-58. The play was then made into a Hollywood film starring Jerry Lewis in 1960. We can find no evidence that Miss Woodward ever played the role of Ellen Spelding. Sylvia Davis is listed in the playbill for the TV episode. Sarah Marshall is cast as Ellen in the Broadway play. Joan Blackman played her in the film adaptation. We know from biographical sources that Miss Woodward was a close friend of the author. Some reports suggest that she was engaged to Vidal prior to marrying Paul Newman. Vidal noted that it was all a stunt to attrract Newman's attention to Miss Woodward. She shared a house with Vidal in Los Angeles for a short time. Furthermore Paul Newman shared living quarters with Vidal at an earlier time.

‎Williwaw‎

‎New York: Dutton 1946. First Edition First Printing of the Author’s First Book. With a remarkable extensive signed inscription by Gore Vidal to Dr. William Shelton Gray Jr. written over two pages providing details on the development and history of the novel: “For Bill Gray - Twenty years later; this first and onlyedition was 5000 copies - In time all sold - There has never been a hard-cover reprint - The book was written 1944-45 - Begun aboard F.S. 35 at Chesapeake Bay just before New Year's '44.  Finished at East Hampton Shortly after Hiroshima – Gore Vidal Jan 2 - 1967 NYCâ€. Vidal’s inscriptions in books are notoriously short even to close friends and this book has the longest Vidal inscription we have encountered anywhere. William Gray was the Chairman of the English Department at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland Virginia who edited Tennessee Williams’ only book of poetry In the Winter of Cities and one of W.H. Auden’s last poems “The Aliens†was dedicated to him.  Gray met and befriended Vidal through Williams. Hardcover dust jacket octavo 222 pages.  The volume is in very good used condition with some rubbing to the cloth edges in a very good dust jacket with some rubbing some aging and light chipping. Williwaw is the term widely thought to be Native American in origin for a sudden violent Katabatic wind common to the Aleutian Islands. The story combines war drama maritime adventure and a murder plot. The book is a World War II novel set on a U.S. ship in the Arctic waters around the Aleutians in the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the local storm season during World War II. The nervousness and tension of the crew and a handful of passengers at the approach of the Williwaw is stretched to breaking point when the Chief Engineer Duval falls overboard in suspicious circumstances.
