Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. PRIMO LEVI SAID: I hope the reader will be indulgent toward the extreme dispersion of themes, tones, and angles of approach that he will find in this collection. My justification is: the 'pieces' are situated in an arc of time that is close to a quarter of a century, the time of my almost total fidelity to LA STAMPA: and in twenty-five years many things change, inside us and around us. Furthermore, they are conditioned by my intrinsic libertinage, in part willed, in part due to the itinerary fate has reserved for me; I've drunk at various founts and breathed different airs, some salutary, others quite polluted. . . I'm a normal man with a good memory who fell into a maelstrom and got out of it more by luck than by virtue, and who from that time on has preserved a certain curiosity about maelstroms large and small, metaphorical and actual. This from Primo Levi's introduction to THE MIRROR MAKER, his collection of short stories and essays. CLEAN AND TIGHT TEXTBLOCK, and the protected jacket is only lightly worn. Not price clipped. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. A biography of Dwight Eisenhower in a complete but worn jacket. This jacket is rather splendid, with a superb colour portrait on the front, and with the famous speech printed on the back when Eisenhower was in London. There is a neat inscription dated 1948 on the half title, but this adds period charm rather than amounting to a fault. Doubleday issued this first edition with an untrimmed leading edge to the text block. The binding is firm but the green cloth binding corners are 'soft'. Not a perfect First Edition but still collectable. The endpaper maps are of interest. The contents reveal the character of this fine example of democracy in action.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. 1st Edition. RARE to find this book with a jacket. It is a damaged jacket, but it is just about there. The front panel has areas at the top edge that are missing, but nothing 'live' is lost. There are a few chips to the bottom edge as well. The front flap has the price, and is complete, as is the rear flap. The rear panel is not as damaged as the front, and the spine has the title word 'Peter' missing and at the bottom there is another section lost. But the jacket is more than a mere ghost, and although it is tatty it has protected the pale blue cloth board binding, which means the gilt titling is still bright. The text block is firm and clean, no markings or underlinings. This is not an ex-library copy. It does have a former owner's blind stamp on the half title, but this is rather attractive.
