1932réf. 20336New York: Horace Liveright Inc. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1932. First American Edition. Hardcover. spine just a bit turned small dent in top edge of front cover minor fraying at spine ends; jacket bright and attractive in spite of a bit of irregular fading along the spine and a touch of creasing at top of spine. The first novel by this English journalist and short-story writer a rather self-consciously "madcap" satire: the jacket blurb promises "amazing swoops of cuckoo fun and general insanities and at the same time grand satire and a healthy if absurd romance." The wackiness centers around the Cadwallows who in addition to being "one of the noblest and nuttiest families in England" also happen to be teetering on the brink of impoverishment. Potential salvation from their financial plight arrives in the person of Miss Wilhelmina Harkaway known as "Bill" a nine-foot-tall giantess who has been brought from Australia by the family's youngest son. She is readily adopted by the Cadwallow clan and with the patronage of a wealthy and even more eccentric friend a scheme is hatched to launch her on a prizefighting career and thereby reap a fortune. This isn't due to any discernible skill on her part in that regard or even to any inherent combativeness in her nature -- she's really quite a nice young lady of nineteen -- but simply because well it's that kind of book. Not surprisingly her enormous size and commensurate strength permits her to defeat all challengers and in no time at all she becomes a somewhat freakish celebrity even at one point going on an American tour. The human-freak-boxing angle is of interest as the author did a little amateur boxing himself as a young man and later garnered praise for a series of short fantasy stories about a "dwarf surrealist boxer" named Engelbrecht.

1852réf. D59641852. Hardcover. Very Good. Original full red morocco ornately stamped in blind and gilt; 8vo; 31 manuscript pages including an illustrated short story landscapes in pencil Havana the Hudson River harbor of St. Thomas Martinique and 3 colored-pencil cartoons of American Indians these seemingly contributed by a child. Just a little scuffed along joints and edges of boards else fine. Likely the work of Horace Richardson the title-page and "publication information" see above states that this unique item was "copied" by him and one of the drawings most of which are clearly by the same artist is initialed "H. R." The book does indeed seem to correspond at least in part with a journey on the Winfield Scott a sidewheel steamer that transported cargo and passengers from San Francisco and Panama during the California Gold Rush -- then sank in December of 1853. The landscapes are nicely accomplished: "Yosemite Falls from Black's Hotel" signed "H.R." "Highland Park Hotel Aiken S.C." "Vineyard Haven" "View from the Window in our Parlor in the Hotel El Telegrafo Havana 1872" "View from my Window at the West Point Hotel Looking up the Hudson 1872" and "Fort de France Martinique from the Sea." Opens with a weird little short story in which the malefactor Joseph Shed spends his entire life stealing stockings even dirty ones punishment be damned. hardcover books
