Maeterlinck Maurice; Sutro Alfred
The Life of the Bee
New York: Dodd Mead and Company 1902. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 1902 printing. No jacket. Ink stamp on front paste-down endpaper and on rear free endpaper ink note on front free endpaper. 427 pp. 8vo. Green cloth with blind-stamped floral design gilt titles top edge gilt. "In an exuberantly poetic work that is less about bees and more about life Maurice Maeterlinck expresses his philosophy of the human condition. The renowned Belgian poet and dramatist offers brilliant proof in this his most popular work that "no living creature not even man has achieved in the center of his sphere what the bee has achieved." From their amazingly intricate feats of architecture to their intrinsic sense of self-sacrifice Maeterlinck takes a "bee's-eye view" of the most orderly society on Earth. An enthusiastic and expert beekeeper Maeterlinck did not intend to write a scientific treatise even though he details such topics as the mathematically accurate construction of the hive the division of labor among community members the life of the young queen and her miraculous nuptial flight and the movement and meaning of the swarm. An enchanting classic by one of the most important figures of world literature in the twentieth century and winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize in Literature this fascinating study is a magnificent tribute to one of the most orderly communities in the world. It is also filled with humble lessons for the human race. Dodd, Mead and Company hardcover books

Maurice Zolotow
STAGESTRUCK. THE ROMANCE OF ALFRED LUNT AND LYNN FONTANNE SIGNED BY BOTH ACTORS
New York: Harcourt Brace & World Inc 1965. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine binding/Very Good dust jacket. Signed. First Edition copy belonging to renowned art collector Charles Bolles Rogers with his bookplate on the front endpaper; it is inscriped "To our dear friend Bolles -- with love and lasting affection. Lynn & Alfred". We delighted to note from his obituary that Mr. Bolles-Rogers changed his name at the age of 80 to Charles Bolles Bolles-Rogers and think "Why shouldn't he". ~~It is so appropriate to have both of the great actors sign together as they were an inseparable team and are widely considered the greatest acting team in the American theater. If the pandemic ever ends one can enjoy theater again midtown at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on West 46th Street.~~~~. Near Fine binding / Very Good dust jacket.

Craig Maurice
Irish Bookbindings. The Irish Heritage Series #6
Dublin: Eason & Son 1976. First Edition. Very good. 8vo. 24 pp. illustrated in b/w and color. Original wrappers stapled as issued: covers with color reproductions of bindings inside wrappers are b/w illustrations and text. Slight shelf wear but a neat copy. NOT ex-library! The slight size of this book does not reflect the significance of the information presented herein some of which is not available elsewhere. Craig a leading authority on the history of Irish bookbinding reproduces in color a surprising number of Irish specimens from the 17th to the early 19th century: bookbinders' workshops are identified as are the bindings under consideration and their present locations. ¶ Still an essential reference tool: we would not be offering this copy had we not another one on our shelves already.
