The Rise and Fall of Jesse James
Blue Ribbon Books 1940. Reissue. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. One inch tear along bottom edge of front jacket panel jacket edges rubbed. 1940 Hard Cover. ix 446 pp. "Jesse and Frank James were household names long before images of America's most wanted were televised. For several decades after the Civil War they were hunted by hundreds who supposed them to be involved in every bank and train robbery in the Midwest. Trained as guerrilla fighters in the border conflict between Kansas and Missouri they joined with the Younger brothers in February 1866 to rob a bank in Liberty Missouri. That was the beginning of a criminal confederation that seemed beyond the reach of the law until the Northfield Minnesota raid killed three of them and sent the James brothers into hiding. But they were the objects of posted rewards that proved too tempting in Jesse's case: in 1882 he was shot in the back by Robert Ford of his own gang. The Rise and Fall of Jesse James by Robertus Love a newspaperman who knew Frank James is a pioneering work that plumbs the personalities of the outlaws looks at their domestic lives cites many stories about them and attempts to separate fact from legend in tracking their violent operations.

Both are rare this first less often seen in commerce. It is I'm pretty sure intended as satire but the misogyny of the time and the misogyny of the satire have over time blurred together so that it is difficult to separate the two. François Bruys condemned women for their taste for "prize-fighters" "hackney coach-men" and "rope-dancers". Damnable rope-dancers! Size: Octavo 8vo. Quantity Available: 1.

PEACOCK THOMAS LOVE PERELMAN SJ
Gryle Grange. Volume Five of ‘The Works of Thomas Love Peacock’ Edited by H.F.B. Brett-Smith M.A. & C.E. Jones
London: Constable & Co 1924. This was the personal copy of the great American humorist author and screenwriter S.J. Perelman and was presented to him by his friend Heywood Hale Broun. Inscribed by Broun: “Happy Birthday from H.H. and J. LL. J. Jane Lloyd-Jones Broun’s wife This work by a man who would have liked to have met you. Feb. 1960.†With a document providing provenance laid in. Thin split to the front hinge otherwise a very good copy with some slight use and edge wear without dust jacket. Broun met Perelman when he was a guest on his radio show “Author Author!†and the two became fast friends. Sidney Joseph Perelman popularly known as S. J. Perelman 1904 – 1979 was one of the most widely read literary icons of the Golden Age of American Humor. His New Yorker pieces fiction and collected essays are legendary for their biting wit and mastery of caricature and language. Off and on throughout his career he worked in film notably as a contributing screenwriter on such Hollywood comedy classics as Monkey Business and Horse Feathers with the Marx Brothers Mike Todd’s Around the World in 80 Days for which he won an Oscar co-creator of the hit Broadway musical comedy One Touch of Venus starring Mary Martin as well as many publishing including twenty-one books radio television and travel writing ventures. He was the brother-in-law of the writer Nathanael West with whom he shared a close relationship up until West’s death in a car accident in 1940 at age thirty-seven and whose memory and literary reputation he devoted himself to maintaining. His inner circle of literary and show-business friends and associates included F. Scott Fitzgerald the Marx Brothers Mike Todd Harold Ross T.S. Eliot Al Hirschfeld Bennett Cerf Lillian Hellman Dashiell Hammett Dorothy Parker Fred Allen Kaufman and Hart Ogden Nash Ernest Hemingway W. Somerset Maugham etc. S.J. Perelman was a gifted man with conflicting desires living and working in complex times. While his writing brought much laughter to the world his personal life reflected his restless spirit and inner struggles with his relationships to his family friends and intimates. Dorothy Herrmann ends her wonderful biography of Perelman with these insights: “…his genius was unique…highly literate and inventive yet cranky and irreverent…perhaps no other modern writer was willing to match his commitment to words…Whether this was a rare gift or a feverish obsession is unimportant in the last analysis. For he made us forget for a brief time our own pain and sorrows – and enter a wild wonderful realm of fantasy that was sublime.†Constable & Co unknown books
