Chelsea Buns
The First UK printing published by Hutchinson London in 1925. The BOOK is in Very Good condition. Publisher's original cloth-backed patterned paper-covered boards with the paper title label complete. Slight rubbing and a touch of wear to the extremities. Light offsetting to the blank end-papers and mild toning to the text-block. Free from inscriptions and erasures. The scarce fragile WRAPPER is in Very Good condition with some edge-wear and rubbing to the folds. Slight loss at the upper spine end. Some splitting to the rear spine fold but the covers remain attached. Two small penned letters to the lower front flap. The large photographic portrait of the 'editor' gives the game away as to the real identity of the author of this title. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. A Cubist portrait frontispiece of 'the author' by G.E.Calthrop. A very nice copy of Coward's second collection of twenty two poems which were pseudonymous 'Edith Sitwell' pastiches. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. Hutchinson, London hardcover

Handwritten and signed amusing Heureux Noel Xmas Card from Noel Coward
Fine. A folded Christmas card custom made for Coward measuring 15 by 10 cm. The front of the card features a witty photo of the mature regal Coward on a thrown of sorts with a wall hanging behind creating the impression that he has wings attached at his side. Inside on the verso Coward writes in blue ink "Just to let you know I'm still thinking of you. Love Tangerine '. Dialogue -- Me --"Why are you wearing those wings God" God -- "Because they amuse me!" On the recto beneath a red printed "Heureux Noel" Coward signs "Love Noel" in his swoosh illegible signature. The card was sent to James Frasher we believe who played supporting roles in several Westerns and worked repeatedly with Gene Autry in the early fifties. He later became the manager for Lillian Gish. Photo credited to Tappe Vevey. unknown

COWARD, Noel - BEERBOHM, Max
Heroes and Heroines of Bitter Sweet.
London: 1931. The "Incomparable Max" meets The Master Limited edition number 41 of 100 copies. Each plate a caricature of the stars of Noël Coward's operetta Bitter Sweet is signed by the artist and subject. There were 900 further copies issued without autographs. The show was Coward's most successful musical play running in the West End from 1929 to 1931 and on Broadway from 1929 to 1930. This volume is accompanied by the publisher's prospectus. "It was difficult to ignore the production appearing as it did in every medium. Cochran the producer commissioned Max Beerbohm to do a series of Bitter Sweet caricatures. 'Max took a great liking to Noël Coward himself and was enchanted with the play' wrote David Cecil. 'Its nostalgic evocation of Victorian and Edwardian epochs chimed deliciously with the wit of the song 'Green carnation' which poked fun at the very group of 'greenery-yallery' aesthetes the venerable dandy personified" Hoare. Provenance: the New York collector Herbert Schimmel 1909-2003 with his bookplate on the inside cover. A collector of art nouveau Schimmel also amassed a large library of Coward's works as well as of his contemporary Ivor Novello. Folio. Original quarter vellum portfolio grey paper covered boards titles to front cover in gilt containing title and contents leaves bifolium introduction 5 offset caricatures 334 x 230 mm mounted within grey card bifolia 400 x 286 mm as issued. Corners bumped covers and mounts lightly toned slight foxing to flaps and title page nick at foot of prelims plates bright and fresh: a very good set.

Coward, Noel Raymond Mander and Joe Mitchenson With an appreciation of Noel Coward's work in the theatre by Terence Rattigan
Inscribed Theatrical Companion to Noel Coward. A Pictorial Record of the First Performances and Revival of the Theatrical Works of Noel Coward
New York: The Macmillan Company 1957. Hardcover. Cloth. Near Fine/Fair. Two two inked inscriptions dated 30 May 1961 and made at "La Potiniere". The principal one from Coward himself: "For Jimmy/ with very much affection" signed Noel Coward in his distinctive and highly stylized signature. The second inscription is from Thomas Gomez an actor with numerous supporting roles in Hollywood movies some memorable and one nominated for an Academy Award for his part in "Ride the Pink Horse". Gomez writes "For James/ From your maternal -- or is it paternal -- great-grandfather --" signed Thomas Gomez. The recipient whose book plate is pasted onto the front endpaper facing the inscriptions was James Frasher a one-time protegee of Gene Autry who became a theatre agent for Lilian Gish. La Potiniere probably is a reference to a Parisian Theatre where Coward's plays in French translation were performed beginning in 1920 with "Hay Fever". 8vo. 25 by 16 cm. xii 407 pp. The book is tight and clean with some age toning to the leaves. End papers both front and back have shadow stains or darkening in the shape of papers that were there for an extended period of time. The dust jacket lacks its spine and is thus two pieces. Those pieces have considerable wear with edge chips and short closed tears. The Macmillan Company hardcover

Coward, Noel
Inscribed Post-Mortem. A Play in Eight Scenes
London: William Heinemann Ltd 1931. First edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Good. Signed and Inscribed on FFEP in ink by Coward with written: "For Constance With my love Noel Coward" signed in Coward's distinctive signature. We suspect that the inscription was written to the renowned actress Constance Collier for whose autobiography Coward wrote a preface two years prior to the publication of this play. The play was published in 1931 but Coward decided not to have it staged. It was first performed in a prisoner--of-war camp in 1944 and it wasn't professionally staged until long after Coward's death. 12mo. 19 by 12.5 cm. 83 pp. Condition: light wear to upper spine. Pages age toned. Dust jacket chipped and slightly crinkled upper edge by and including spine. Toning and perhaps slight staining to DJ. Evidence of rusty paper clip on front inside of DJ and first few leaves. William Heinemann Ltd unknown
