Portrait photographique de Claudine (actrice Polaire) en écolière en frontispice.

Couverture illustrée en couleurs par Wely (les deux plats et le dos conservés). Exccellent état. Très beau papier de Hollande. ÉDITION ORIGINALE. UN DES RARES EXEMPLAIRES SUR HOLLANDE, CELUI-CI PARAPHÉ PAR WILLY ET NUMÉROTÉ "N° HUIT [signé] WILLY" Les exemplaires sur grands papiers ne sont pas annoncés sur les exemplaires ordinaires. Il doit y avoir une dizaine d'exemplaires seulement sur ce papier. Le volume contient au début la plaidoirie de Maître J. Paul-Boncour pour la maîtresse du Prince Jean. L'ouvrage fut condamné. Cette première édition est la seule complète, les suivantes ayant été expurgées des passages les plus scabreux. "Willy est plus sourd encore que sa vertu n'est muette !... Du moins, cette Maîtresse du Prince Jean, a un mérite : elle ne prendra pas son lecteur en traître. Elle arrive à lui munie d'un casier judiciaire propre à le mettre en garde : dès avant son apparition, elle fut poursuivie, jugée et condamnée ; aussi, ceux qui voudront aller plus loin que la couverture du livre et en sortiront le rouge au front sauront à qui s'en prendre ; ils auront été prévenus. Je sais bien que l'éditeur, malin, a placé en tète du livre la délicieuse plaidoirie où M. Paul-Boncourt entreprit de démontrer à la justice de son pays que la Maîtresse du prince Jean n'était, mon Dieu, pas si immorale qu'on le voulait prétendre ; je sais bien qu'il l'a fait avec un luxe étonnant de verbe, d'esprit et d'aimable sophisme, et qu'il a réussi à être persuasif puisque je m'y suis laissé prendre et que j'ai lu le livre. Cette lecture m'a édifié — si j'ose dire — et je puis affirmer, en connaissance de cause que ce roman, même « épousseté », est terriblement scabreux. Je le sais d'autant mieux que j'ai lu jusqu'à la dernière page — il me faut faire mon mea culpa — car trop souvent le rire et le sourire désarmèrent ma colère ; et ainsi j'ai connu complètement les aventures de ce prince fantôme et de cette trop réelle et plantureuse Gaétane, et j'ai fréquenté le poète carottier Lauban, et Smiley, le littérateur, et aussi l'immuable Maugis, Journaliste notoire, qui ressemble à Willy comme un frère et qui en est très fier, le monstre ! J'ai vu, J'ai lu tout cela, et malgré moi j'y ai pris plaisir. Du moins, pour m'en punir et pour me réhabiliter à mes yeux. Je devais mettre en garde mes contemporains contre la séduction de la Maîtresse du prince Jean, leur affirmer que c'est un livre à ne pas lire et, puisque j'ai été victime de ma curiosité, empêcher les autres de céder à la leur, car s'ils ouvrent le livre, ils sont perdus, ils feront comme moi, ils iront jusqu'au bout." in Le Figaro du 31 juillet 1903, article signé Frédéric Charpin.

1950réf. 000365New York: Gnome Press 1950. First Edition . Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good Plus. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Cartier Edd jacket. New York: Gnome Press 1950. First Edition. Introduction by Willy Ley. Edited by Martin Greenberg this copy signed inscribed and presented by him to Arthur C. Clarke. Octavo 351 pp. Purple cloth-backed gray cloth boards with silver spine titling and blindstamped launching-spaceship and star motif on purple margin. Pictorial dustjacket by sci-fi illustration luminary Edd Cartier. A near fine book with only minor page edge soiling and a trace of partial spine fade in a Very Good jacket showing light perimeter wear. Singular copy inscribed and presented to Arthur C. Clarke by Greenberg with provenance of unimpeachable order accompanying the book. An increasingly classic collection of short stories by some of the now-timeless sci-fi names. Willy Ley: "Here is a different type of anthology. This book taken in its entirety tells a story: the conquest of space. Moving from man's first attempt to reach the moon to the exploration of the ends of the universe these stories are among the finest ever published." - Willy Ley. Hailed by critics at the time of its publication as a quantum leap forward in both quality and concept for science fiction anthologies Martin Greenberg's thematically edited Men Against the Stars is a collection of twelve lengthy stories whose authors read like a Who's Who of Golden Age sci-fi including Isaac Asimov Murray Leinster A.E. Van Vogt L. Ron Hubbard Hubbard's "When Shadows Fall" is here and E.M. Hull. Not a slap-dash aggregation to get to the printer quickly Greenberg's collection was a thoroughly contemplated and planned project a selection of the very finest available stories on theme ranging back as far as 1939. Nicely complimented by a Cartier's funky pure genre period stylization jacket. A sci-fi presentation copy of the highest sort that of a veteran and astute editor to a future superstar. Arthur C. Clarke's reputation at the time was already becoming established and Greenberg shows the admiration in his skilled critical eye for Clarke's sci-fi talents in his presentation remark.
