‎Literary Correspondence‎

‎1986-1987. A collection of letters from Waters mostly to his literary agent Joan Daves as well as related ancillary materials showing Waters at work in the after-market for his writing with opportunities for later editions and film versions. Waters wrote primarily about the American Southwest in particular the Native American experience. His father was part Cheyenne. The first typed letter signed is from Waters to his agent Joan Daves dated August 24 1986 and concerns Lesley Ann Warren's interest in optioning the film rights to The Woman at Otowi Crossing and the contract for publication of a hardcover illustrated edition of The Man Who Killed the Deer. It is stapled to a copy of the contract with numerous marginal corrections and a retained copy of Daves' reply agreeing with Waters that the intended publisher Gibbs Smith had overreached in the contract. An included exchange between Daves and Gibbs Smith posits a simpler agreement while a retained carbon shows Daves reaching out to Ohio University Press to confirm they had no claim to hardcover rights. The second typed letter signed is from Waters to Keith Sabin in Daves' absence and is dated September 29 1986 and describes the purchasing history of Flight from Fiesta and the current unwelcome "blitz" he Waters is undergoing from Ritz Productions regarding theatrical rights. Waters encloses an initialed copy of the letter he wrote to Ritz Productions redirecting their overtures to Daves upon her return from Europe. Both of these letters are stapled together with retained copies of both Sabin's and Daves' replies as well as a retained copy of an earlier letter from Sabin to Waters saying they had been approached by Ritz and the initial contact letter from Ritz with an unsigned agreement for Right of First Refusal. Also included is a letter from Fiesta publisher Clark Kimball to Daves recommending the production company. The fourth typed letter signed from Waters to Daves dated April 29 1987 again describes the publishing history of Flight from Fiesta and informs Daves that the publisher Clark Kimball has been approached by CBS-Columbia regarding film rights and he includes Kimball's letter. Attached are the retained copies of letters from Daves to both Waters and Kimball admonishing all that Kimball has no role in film rights for the title and a later letter from Kimball acquiesces. The fifth typed letter signed from Waters to Daves August 3 1987 delineates an additional inquiry regarding a film option for Flight from Fiesta and several leads on optioning The Woman at Otowi Crossing should Lesley Ann Warren's option expire. Waters takes Daves to task for not responding to offers already presented for not keeping him informed and for being about to depart for Europe leaving him without representation: "I don't like to end our agent-client relationship after so many years but if the overload of work at this crucial time is too much for you I don't see any alternative." A copy of a letter to Waters at about this point from Alton Walpole shows one of the interested parties facing obstacles bringing Otowi Crossing to the screen. Also a letter to Daves from The University of Nevada thanks Daves for sending financials on Ohio University Press's Frank Waters: A Retrospective Anthology included but bemoans how infrequent the agent's communiques have become. However the Daves-Waters agent-client relationship was ongoing in October: in the sixth typed letter signed in this archive Waters informs Daves of yet another inquiry for Flight from Fiesta and asks her advice about payment on an opportunity he has to write the text for a book of photographs to be published by Arizona Highways likely Eternal Desert published in 1990. As mentioned many of the letters are stapled; most are folded for mailing; in some instances they bear the agency's routing marks or highlighting. The lot as a whole is near fine. No Binding.

‎Masked Gods: Navaho and Pueblo Ceremonialism SIGNED‎

‎Albuquerque: The University of New Mexico Press. Very Good in Poor dj. c.1950. First Edition. Hardcover. externally nice-looking copy with no discernible wear but unfortunately with some occasional margin notes in red ink mostly confined to the first 50 pages or so thus the downgrading to VG; the jacket was is a disaster age-toned and somewhat brittle with both flaps the front panel and the rear panel/spine all separated from one another along the fold lines considerable but mostly shallow edge-chipping etc.; it's been pieced back together with the aid of a few small pieces of tape and is held together by a new mylar cover all of which makes it reasonably presentable and a decent protective cover for the book itself but none of which is meant to obscure or downplay its many depredations. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page: "For Bill / From Frank." "Here is the powerful story of the meaning of Navaho Navajo and Pueblo ceremonialism by a writer who is perhaps unsurpassed in his long and wide experience with the Indians of the Four Corners Country -- where Arizona New Mexico Utah and Colorado join to infold this last Red Island is America's White sea."

‎The Lizard Woman‎

‎Thorp Springs Press Austin TX. 1984. Octavo. 136 pages. Signed by the author on the half title page. As Paul Foreman writes: this work is worthy of the others such as Masked Gods Man Who Killed the Deer and Book of the Hopi. It is a novel of a search for gold: both the yellow gold you can hold in your hand the golden elixir of a woman's love and when in the most threatening part of the desert--water. Wellman writes: "If Melville is the great American prophet of the sea and the men who go down to the sea in ships then Frank Waters must be accorded the role of the priest of the land who has listened closest and recorded most faithfully the spirits of the land especially the Southwest." Bound in red cloth lettered and decoratively stamped in gilt spine lettering gilt near fine in near fine pictorial dust jacket. (Thorp Springs Press, Austin, TX. 1984) unknown books‎
