Hard Cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hard cover, 8vo., [2], 314, [4] pp. In publisher's orange cloth binding with black lettering to spine. In the original unclipped dust jacket. No other stated printings. **CONDITION: Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Foxing to fore-edge of text block visible when book closed. Otherwise clean, with no inscription. Dust jacket has dust-soiling and some closed tears to top edge. ** An odd assortment of British writers combine to make this anthology of short stories published between the wars strangely compelling. The writers were connected in real life (e.g. John Gawsworth gave Hugh MacDiarmid a place to stay in London, and was a huge admirer of Arthur Machen), but as writers they showcase a wide array of styles: MacDiarmid writes Scots dialect in a modernist style worthy of Joyce's Molly Bloom, Machen sees ancient ritual in the streets of modern London, and T.F. Powys creates a study of a marginalized Eleanor Rigby-like woman, tending to an abandoned church. The introduction by John Rowland insists that these works thus assembled convey a "message", discernible by the "sensitive reader". Every reader will no doubt have their own response to these sometimes unsettling vignettes, whose shared characteristic is of lives lived on the edge.** Editor John Herbert Shelley Rowland (1907-1984) was the author of a number of detective novels such as "Death on Dartmoor" (1936), "The Cornish Riviera Mystery" (1939), and "Gunpowder Alley" (1941). A scarce title. (AJ). Book.…

Hard. Published in 1925 by London publisher Peter Davies, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's The Physiology of Taste or Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy represents one of the finest private press achievements in twentieth-century culinary literature. Rendered into expressive English by Arthur Machen and prefaced with a distinguished introduction by Charles Sibley, this luxurious limited edition elevated the foundational nineteenth-century French treatise into a masterpiece of modern fine printing. Issued in a strictly limited press run of seven hundred and fifty numbered copies, the volume is embellished with charming vignette illustrations and typographic design that perfectly complement Brillat-Savarin's witty, philosophical meditations on the art of dining, digestion, and epicurean pleasure. Peter Davies's landmark release marked a crucial renaissance of interest in gastronomic classics among interwar British intellectuals and aesthetes, blending Machen's celebrated stylistic prose with exquisite typography. Beyond its monumental importance as the foundational text of modern gastronomic philosophy, this specific issue stands as a monument to post-World War I fine press publishing. Intact copies from this restricted edition have become exceedingly elusive, making this volume a prized, indispensable acquisition for discerning collectors of fine press typography, interwar private press editions, and classic culinary literature. Deckled edges with a booksellers label on the front endpaper. Numbered 571 of 750 copies. Food Books.…
