Burn, Gordon - VERY RARE SIGNED FIRST PRINTING
Happy Like Murderers - Superb Damien Hirst Cover - Filmed As 'Appropriate Adult'
Faber London 1998 Grotesque but brilliant study of Fred West and his even more repulsive wife. Between them they raped tortured and murdered a still unknown number of people. It cannot avoid being a dreadful tale because of its subject but it is also this very fine writer's best book. This copy has been read and the pages are tanning because the publisher used poor quality paper but this copy also has the supreme distinction of being signed on the title page. The stunning wraparound jacket famously created by Damien Hirst is protected. 'To Steve with all best wishes Gordon Burn' it says and that makes this a RARE copy of a great book. With great interest newly awakened by the tremendous dramatisation on television 'Appropriate Adult' with Dominic West and Emily Watson this signed copy is now much sought after. Gordon Burn examined the contemporary obsession with celebrity in a series of books spanning three decades including this extraordinary account of Fred and Rosemary West. He also wrote a Whitbread award-wininng novel which imagined an alternative life for the British singer Alma Cogan. His editor commenting after Gordon Burn's early death hailed Burn's work as "far ahead of the rest of the literary world" and lamented the loss of "one of the great literary innovators of these times. Gordon's subject of choice was often trauma spectacle and dysfunction. He was drawn to the dark side of celebrity. His literature and impulse always represented to me an attempt to find comfort meaning and compassion in the most appalling or baffling of events." A VERY RARE SIGNATURE and a very brilliant book. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. Signed by Author. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included. Faber London hardcover

C E M Joad - FIRST PRINTING, in JACKET
the adventures of the young soldier in search of a Better World
Faber & Faber London 1943 This is a nice hardback first edition in what appears to be a second impression dustjacket Certainly there are reviews of the book reprinted on the inside front flap which makes me suspect it must be a second impression jacket. But the jacket is of course a bit of a prize in its own right. A lovely drawing by Mervyn Peake of a soldier seemingly searching into the future. The book has a dated signature and an attractive blind stamp on the front end paper. No other marks. It was a wartime economy issue so the jacket is a delicate thin paper effort and all the more valuable as most of the copies available are usually found without one.

Caesar, Caius Julius.
I commentarii con le figure in rame de gli alloggiamenti, de' fatti d'arme, delle circonvallationi delle città, & di molte altre cose notabili descritte in essi. Fatte da Andrea Palladio. Venice, Pietro de' Franceschi, (1574-)1575.
4to (170 x 225 mm). (48), 407, (1) pp. (with blank leaf *4). With woodcut initials and headpieces, 42 engravings (maps and plans) with letterpress captions on versos (bound as double-page plates). Contemporary limp vellum with ms. title to spine, lacking 2 pairs of ties. First edition with Palladio's illustrations. - Italian edition of Caesar's "Commentarii de bello Gallico" and "Commentarii de bello civili", using Francesco Baldelli's twenty-year-old translation, with engraved plates by Andrea Palladio depicting most of Caesar's campaigns, including the famous siege of Alesia. "In the preface, Palladio explains that the illustrations had originated out of a project he had set for his two sons, Orazio and Leonida. Palladio decided to complete the project and publish the illustrations after the death of both his sons ins 1572. Pallado dedicated the book to Giacomo (Jacopo) Buoncompagni, the natural son of Pope Gregory XIII" (Witcombe, Copyright in the Renaissance [Leiden 2004], p. 265). In his introduction, Palladio notes that while fortifications are all very well, a determined army will always overcome them, and it is better to train an army properly along the lines of the Roman army (as Machiavelli had also stated), just as in architecture the Romans had not been surpassed by later generations (cf. J. R. Hale, "Andrea Palladio, Polybius and Julius Caesar", Renaissance War Studies [1983], pp. 471-486). - Binding wrinkled with a few slight spine flaws. Foot of title-page excised (just touching date); a few captions shaved. Provenance: extract from English sale catalogue pasted to front flyleaf. Armorial bookplate of Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle (1765-1819), close friend of Admiral Nelson, to pastedown. Latterly in the collection of his descendant Thomas Fremantle, 3rd Baron Cottesloe (1862-1956), commander of the Territorial Army and president of the Society for Army History Research (purchased from Pickering & Chatto, 2 August 1901, 12s).

Caggio, Paolo.
Iconomica [...] nella quale s'insegna breuemente per modo di dialogo il gouerno famigliare, come di se stesso, della moglie, de' figliuoli, de' serui, delle case, delle robbe, & d'ogn'altra cosa a quella appartenente. Venice, Pozzo, 1552.
Small 8vo. (8), 64 ff. With woodcut device to title-page, 1 woodcut initial and 1 full-page emblematic woodcut at the end. - (Bound with) II: Rosello, (Lucio) Paolo. Due dialoghi […]. Uno, in cui si tratta il modo di conoscere, et di far la scelta d’un servitore, & de l’ufficio suo. L’altro, de la vita de cortegiani, intitolato la patientia. Venice, (Comin da Trino di Monferrato, 1549). 24 ff. With publisher's device to title-page and full-page, different device to the reverse. Contemporary boards. First editions: two rare Italian Renaissance treatises about prudent household management, including the role and treatment of family and servants, directed at the paterfamilias and couched in the form of dialogues. "Though the first treatises of this type appeared in the 16th century, penned by humanists, their production intensified after 1550, when they also acquired a different and broader meaning [...] While in the first examples of the genre the household was perceived as a metaphor for the health of the polity, in the following century a well-regulated household became an indication of the noble quality of its master and an expression of civilized behaviour" (Cavallo/Storey, Healthy Living in Late Renaissance Italy [OUP, 2013], p. 42). Above all, books of the "oeconomica" genre aimed to "define the responsibilities of each member of the family and household - husband, wife, children, and different ranks of servants - and how they should behave towards one another. Special attention is also given to manners and attitudes appropriate to the social standing, age, and gender [...], but they also contain practical advice on how to make a house salubrious by orienting the building correctly as regards sun and wind, and through the layout and size of the rooms and windows" (ibid., p. 43). Caggio's treatise not only includes such architectural considerations (cf. fol. 57f.), but generally provides an uncommonly detailed window into the familial mores of his native Palermo during the mid-16th century, frequently betraying the pervasive misogyny of Sicilian society: the two-page table of contents promises answers to problems such as, "Why did nature make men robust and valorous and women weak and of little spirit", and further along gives advice on, "What damages are caused by wives who are pompous, proud, and domineering". - The 1549 treatise by Rosello, a Padovan cleric frequently at odds with the censorship of his church, contains two dialogues. The first develops the subject of the mutual education of master and servant, demonstrating that the latter will show all the more "prudentia, modestia, gentilezza, & costumi civili" (fol. 13r) if the master is indulgent and forbearing toward him. The second notoriously portrays life at court as an anarchic war of all against all in which the courtier, lacking a specific professional or classical education, must continually adapt to circumstances like a chameleon (cf. M. Hinz, Rhetorische Strategien des Hofmannes [1992], p. 239). - Binding rather severely rubbed, extremeties bumped; book's contents inscribed on upper cover. Interior shows occasional weak waterstains. Several old annotations to endpapers and title-page (some in Italian); a cipher alphabet is inscribed to the lower endpaper. Provenance: from the collection of the historian and director of the Viennese court library, Sebastian Tengnagel (1563-1636), who willed his large private library to the Emperor in 1633 (cf. Alphons Lhotsky, Die Wiener Palatina und die Geschichtsforschung unter Sebastian Tengnagel, in: Aufsätze und Vorträge III [1972], p. 242ff.). His autograph ownership is on the title-page: "Ex lib. Sebast. Tengnagel I.V.D. et Caes. Biblioth.", and it is possible that the cipher alphabet is also written by him. The pastedown shows the later bookplate of the library of Pfannberg castle in Styria, the collection of the Austrian industrialist Baron Franz Mayr von Melnhof (1810-89). I: Edit 16, CNCE 8270. BM-STC Italian 136. Not in Adams. - II: Edit 16, CNCE 53725. BM-STC Italian 587. Not in Adams. For the author cf. Jöcher III, 2224.
