Inscribed & signed by Duncan Campbell Scott on the decorative brown endpaper "For my friend Wm. Deacon / Duncan Campbell Scott / Toronto Apr 22 - 1925". The Canadian poet and prose writer Duncan Campbell Scott (1862-1947) worked as a career civil servant, serving as deputy superintendent of the Department of Indian Affairs from 1913 to 1932. In that capacity, he coined the phrase "final solution for the Indian problem" while promoting their cultural assimilation. He is considered one of Canada's Confederation Poets along with Charles G.D. Roberts, Bliss Carman, and Archibald Lampman. The recipient William Arthur Deacon (1890-1977) "was known as the man who could make or break a literary career". Deacon briefly practiced law in Manitoba before turning to a career as a literary critic, first as literary editor for Saturday Night magazine and subsequently with the Globe and Mail. He promoted Canadian authors and literature, particularly French-Canadian literature.

[Signed] [First Edition] Robert Frost: A Bibliography, a presentation copy inscribed and dated by one of the authors W. B. Shubrick Clymer and [Signed] [First Edition] Robert Frost: A Bibliography, a presentation copy inscribed and dated by one of the authors W. B. Shubrick Clymer and 110.18 CAD This is the first edition of the first bibliography of the works of iconic American poet Robert Frost, this copy inscribed and dated 25 years after publication by one of the authors, W. B. Shubrick Clymer. The inscription is inked in blue in seven lines on the front free endpaper recto: "To Dimitri, gentleman, philosopher and golf instructor par excellence, this small token of appreciation. Shubrick 8-29-62". This copy is in very good condition. The buckram binding remains sharp-cornered, and substantially clean and bright, though with mild shelf wear to extremities, a bump at the spine heel, and minor blemishes to the rear cover. The contents are clean, with no spotting, soiling, or previous ownership marks other than the co-author's gift inscription.That this first bibliography of Frost's works was published in 1937 more than a quarter of a century before his death presages the towering stature he would achieve in his lifetime. In March 1937, when this book was printed, Frost had won only two (1924 and 1931) of his to-this-day-unrivalled four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry. (The second would come a few months later, in May 1937, the fourth in 1943.) Frost would spend the final decade and a half of his life as "the most highly esteemed American poet of the twentieth century" with an accumulating hoard of academic and civic honors. Two years before his death he became the first poet to read in the program of a U.S. Presidential inauguration (Kennedy, January 1961). But much of this lay still before him when Clymer and Green compiled and published this work.William Branford Shubrick Clymer (1906-1972) received undergraduate and graduate degrees from Harvard, served as a personnel manager of the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Company, and served, after retirement, in the New Hampshire State Legislature. He also was an avid collector of Frost's works whose experience as a collector substantiated some of the detailed bibliographic descriptions in the biography he wrote with Charles Green.Charles R. Green (1876-1968) was the librarian of the Massachusetts Agricultural College (now the flagship campus of the University of Massachusetts) in Amherst, Massachusetts.In 1918, he joined the staff of the Camp Johnston library in Florida as a special technical reference librarian. Soon after returning to Amherst, he became the first director and later Librarian Emeritus of The Jones Library. The Jones Library, publisher of this book, was established in 1919. The library "provides a range of circulating materials, electronic resources, special collections, programming, and events for residents of Amherst and the surrounding area." The Library's first director was Charles Green, who served for 34 years and "established the library as a space for community performances and gatherings and encouraged local authors, poets, academics, biographers, and other literary figures to come speak at the library."Frost had strong ties to Amherst, whose eponymous college was...

[Signed] [First Edition] My Two Countries, a presentation copy inscribed, signed, and dated in the year of publication by Nancy Astor, Britain's [Signed] [First Edition] My Two Countries, a presentation copy inscribed, signed, and dated in the year of publication by Nancy Astor, Britain's 1035.18 CAD This British first edition is an author's presentation copy, inscribed, signed, and dated in the year of publication by Britain's first female Member of Parliament, Nancy Witcher Astor, Viscountess Astor (1879-1964). Astor inscribed the book on the front free endpaper recto in eight lines "To Ms. Wilson Who worked so hard" and signed "Nancy Astor Dec 1923". Laid into the book is Astor's stationery postcard, printed with her name and address, bearing a second Astor signature preceding her holograph presentation of the book, which she calls "a poor return for yr. splendid work". This inscribed presentation copy is in very good condition. The orange cloth binding is square and tight with little wear, though a bit soiled and lightly sunned. The contents are clean, modestly age-toned but retaining a crisp feel with no previous owner marks and no spotting. The endpapers show offsetting from the pastedown glue, the front free endpaper offsetting differential owing to Astor's laid-in presentation postcard. The postcard, printed at the head "From VISCOUNTESS ASTOR, Cliveden, TAPLOW." is in near fine condition, the left edge showing minor offsetting from the pastedown glue.Born Nancy Langhorne in Danville, Virginia, Nancy Astor improbably became both a Viscountess and Britain's first female Member of Parliament. After a disastrous early marriage, Nancy moved to England and "found a much more suitable match in Waldorf Astor" (1879-1952). "Nancy Astor became something of a national institution, known for her wit, her willingness to break social barriers and traditions, and her blunt outspokenness" She made history in 1919, when her husband, then a Member of Parliament, succeeded to his father's viscountcy and Nancy became "a stop-gap candidate" in the by-election. "In a three-cornered contest she retained 51 per cent of the vote and was elected with a majority of 5000" and took her seat in the House of Commons on 1 December 1919. No "stop-gap" after all, Astor served from 1919-1945.While we do not know specifically what precipitated this gift and inscription of this presentation copy, it occurred during her heady first few years as a Member of Parliament, when "As many as 2000 women wrote to her each weeka sign that they regarded her as their special representative." In 1922, Astor came to the United States "to take part in the Pan-American Women's Convention in Baltimore." As she states in her Foreword, "this one engagement grew into a very strenuous month's tour" during which Astor made "about forty speeches." The title self-explanatory, My Two Countries is "compiled from speeches made by Lady Astor when in America and directly after her return to England."References: ODNB; Korda, Hero; NYT review of My Two Countries, 25 March 1923

[Signed] [First Edition] A Masque of Reason, a presentation copy inscribed and dated by Frost to the wife of stained glass artist Charles Connick on [Signed] [First Edition] A Masque of Reason, a presentation copy inscribed and dated by Frost to the wife of stained glass artist Charles Connick on 1035.18 CAD This is an author's presentation copy of the first trade edition, first printing of one of iconic American poet Robert Frost's precious few dramatic works. This copy is inscribed, signed, and dated by Frost within days of publication. Frost's inscription is inked in black ink in four lines on the front free endpaper recto: "To Mabel R. C. Connick from her friend Robert Frost Easter 1945".Easter 1945 fell on 1 April, six days after the 26 March publication of this first trade edition (timed to coincide with Frost's 70th birthday). The subject and publication timing of A Masque of Reason create some interesting parallels with the inscription herein. Mabel Robinson Coombs Connick married Charles Jay Connick in 1920. Charles Connick, Frost's contemporary, died in December of 1945, aged 70. The gift of Frost's theological play, on Easter no less, was apropos; Boston, Massachusetts-based Charles Jay Connick was known best as a stained glass artist "who worked primarily in ecclesiastical designs" and "revived techniques and designs of English and French designers of the Middle Ages."Condition of this inscribed presentation copy is very good plus in a very good plus dust jacket. The binding is square, clean, tight, and sharp-cornered, marred only by light shelf wear to extremities and some unobtrusive mottling to the lower boards, potentially from brief and superficial moisture exposure. The contents are clean, age-toned but with no spotting or soiling. The unclipped dust jacket retains its original "$2.00" upper front flap price, is complete, with no appreciable loss, and remains bright, with no discernible toning of the brightly hued spine and front face. The jacket shows some modest soiling, mostly to the white rear face, and light wear to joints, flap folds, and extremities. The dust jacket is protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover. Iconic American poet Robert Lee Frost (1874-1963) is "generally not known as a dramatist despite his lifelong love of the theater and despite the fact that many of his best poems owe a large part of their greatness to their dramatic nature Frost's most important 'plays,' however, may be his two masques, A Masque of Reason (1945) and A Masque of Mercy (1947). Though both pieces have been staged, they are best considered as closet dramas in which distinctly human, American, and modern prototypes engage in theological/ideological debate via colloquial blank verse. In A Masque of Reason, Frost dramatizes a confrontation between God, Job, and Job's wife Thyatira. Job and Thyatira press God for an explanation of Job's seemingly unwarranted torture, ultimately eliciting the surprising confession, 'I was just showing off for the Devil.' Frost's God runs the risk of sounding smug, cruel, and cavalier, yet he seems to serve as spokesperson for Frost's own philosophy on the relationship between humanity and God. As Peter J. Stanlis observes, 'the main thrust of Frost's theme is a criticism of the human error of...

[Signed] [First Edition] A Further Range, a signed association copy, inscribed and dated in the year of publication in Plymouth, Massachusetts Robert [Signed] [First Edition] A Further Range, a signed association copy, inscribed and dated in the year of publication in Plymouth, Massachusetts Robert 635.18 CAD This first trade edition, first printing, of Frost's third Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry collection is inscribed, signed, and dated by Frost in the year of publication. Inked in three lines at the head of the title page, Frost wrote: "Robert Frost Plymouth 1936 For Elizabeth R. Elkins". On the facing blank half title verso, the recipient, Elizabeth Elkins, inscribed and signed the book in five lines in pencil: "To Almira Taylor September 1936 from Elizabeth R. Elkins". The only other previous ownership mark in the book is the name "Almira Brown Taylor" inked on the upper front free endpaper recto. The inscriptions and names allow us to determine the initial chain of ownership with some confidence. Frost inscribed this book for Elizabeth R. Elkins in the year of publication, so sometime on or after publication (May 1936). In September, no more than four months after Frost's own inscription, Elkins then gifted the book to Almira Brown Taylor. It would have been a fitting gift; Brown (1920-2016) was sixteen at the time. She eventually graduated with a degree in Library Science and worked at a variety of prestigious universities and secondary schools. She also apparently became a diligent collector; five scrapbooks of hers are now held by Duke University Archives & Manuscripts, four of which feature "literary figures, including authors, poets, playwrights, essayists, and biographers".Condition is very good plus in a very good dust jacket. The red cloth binding is square, clean, bright, and tight with sharp corners, no color shift between the covers and spine, and only the slightest shelf wear to the bottom edges. The contents show no spotting and only modest age-toning. The red-brown topstain retains uniform, unfaded color. We would grade this copy as near fine if not for old cello-tape transfer browning to the free endpaper corners caused by non-archival tape on an old dust jacket protector, now removed. The endpapers also show a little transfer browning from the pastedown glue. The dust jacket is highly complete, with only fractional loss to the spine ends and flap fold corners. The jacket shows mild spine toning, but is otherwise clean, and is now protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover.A Further Range includes fifty-one poems and is divided into six parts. Some of Frost's best known lyrics are found herein, among them "Desert Places", "Neither Out Far Nor in Deep", and "A Leaf Treader". Although A Further Range, Frost's sixth book of poetry, went on to win the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, "it drew scathing attacks from leftist critics at the time of its publication for its conservative political cast." The political criticism polluted the literary, as politically liberal critics not only criticized the work, but "sought to diminish Frost's reputation" and cast his talent as waning. Although Frost called attention to the topicality of A Further Range "It has got a good deal more of the times in it than anything I ever...

[Signed] [First Edition] Something And Nothing - Tales From The Wedding Present: Vol Two (Signed by Terry de Castro, Lee Thacker and David Lewis [Signed] [First Edition] Something And Nothing - Tales From The Wedding Present: Vol Two (Signed by Terry de Castro, Lee Thacker and David Lewis 84.18 CAD First edition, first printing. Hardback in illustrated boards. 25 × 17.5cm, 150pp [6]. This copy has been signed to the title page by Terry de Castro, Lee Thacker and David Lewis Gedge. Terry has signed it to Jason, the other names are signed without dedication. Also enclosed is a card with handwritten note (sender unknown) saying they'd been to a Q&A and live set with the band. Something And Nothing is the second volume in the autobiography from David Lewis Gedge of Wedding Present fame. The stories featured in this book have previously only been available to readers of the Tales From The Wedding Present comic book series. This collected edition comes with 100 pages of never-before-seen additional material and an introduction by Craig Cash. David writes the Tales From The Wedding Present narrative together with long-time musical associate Terry de Castro, and then the stories are illustrated by virtuoso artist Lee Thacker. For the past decade, they've been working steadily (along with editing help from Jessica McMillan) to relate David's life and adventures. Something And Nothing is presented in chronological order; it takes up where Volume One left off - just after the release of The Wedding Present's first single 'Go Out And Get 'Em, Boy!' in 1985 - and takes us through the next three years of the band's existence. David writes intimately about all of the events leading up to the writing, recording and release of the band's classic debut album, George Best, as well as detailing sessions that the group recorded for John Peel [including the legendary Ukrainian folk music ones], early live appearances in the UK and the rest of Europe and the development of their label Reception Records. On the way, we also learn about some of the romantic experiences that may have informed his writing. Condition: This copy is in excellent condition.
