All Hallows' Eve

19451243881945. London: Faber and Faber 1945. Small slim 8vo 206pp. Original red cloth lettered in giltdust-jacket. Enclosed in a red cloth slipcase with red morocco labels. Pristine essentially as new. § First edition of this landmark work in spiritual and fantasy literature sometimes characterized as science-fiction but not by Wessells. The finest imaginable copy and demonstrably never read as the final two gatherings are unopened. Charles Walter Stansby Williams 1886-1945 a companion of Lewis and Tolkien an Inklng and a lecturer at Oxford was a prolific writer remembered today for his fantasy novels which usually have strong Christian elements. "A ghost story unlike any other All Hallows' Eve is the final novel by the remarkable Charles Williams whose brilliant literary excursions into the spiritual and supernatural realms remain unsurpassed more than six decades after his death. Williams was arguably the most creatively daring and ambitious of Oxford's famed Inklings the literary society that included such notables as C. S. Lewis J. R. R. Tolkien and Owen Barfield and his chilling breathtaking and deeply felt fiction remains the gold standard for provocative and intelligent contemporary fantasy." Open Road Media T.S. Eliot wrote of William's novels: "they are 'supernatural thrillers' because they explore the sacramental intersection of the physical with the spiritual while also examining the ways in which power even spiritual power can corrupt as well as sanctify" n.b. quote from Wiki. "Williams first met C.S. Lewis when each having read one of the others' books each sent a note to the other which crossed in the mail; the two became life-long friends with Lewis becoming one of Williams' most ardent admirers. Many believe that Lewis had Williams in mind as an inspiration for "That Hideous Strength" published the same year as this work 1945 the third of the three novels comprising Lewis' "Space Trilogy". "All Hallow's Eve" the last of Williams' novels to be published during his lifetime can be considered an allegory in that "a primary purpose of the book is to illustrate Williams's particular mystical brand of Christianity." Clute and Grant pp. 1015-1016; Currey p. 540; Leeming and Drowne p. 13. unknown

Early Draft Production Proofs & Original Drawing Archive for "JB's Harmonica" FROM THE COLLECTION OF GARTH WILLIAMS; 130 ORIGINAL DRAWINGS SKETCHES & PRODUCTION PAGES

2831New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich 1993. Original Artwork. ARCHIVE. Very Good. Garth Williams was an illustrator of several of the more popular post-WWII children's books. His work includes Stuart Little 1945 and Charlotte's Web 1952 by E.B. White and the entire series of Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. he also illustrated Cricket in Times Square 1960 by George Selden and The Rescuers 1959 by Margery Sharp. Archive of over 125 Garth Williams 1912-1996 sketches letters proofs and production notes pertaining to "J.B.'s Harmonica" written by John Sebastian Lovin' Spoonful and illustrated by Garth Williams. Published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich the lot includes three copies of the stated "First Draft" of the book accompanied by two letters from the publisher discussing Garth's involvement in the project. The first letter is from Bonnie Ingber Editor of Children's Books for HBJ dated July 14 1987. The second letter is from Allyn M. Johnson Editor of Children's Books for HBJ dated July 27 1989. This archive includes 68 original drawings and sketches by Garth Williams 12 of which are on card stock with four 4 being signed "Garth Williams" and nine 9 with "Happy Harmonica" or "Harmonica" in Garth's hand on them. The lot includes a mock-up of the book created by Garth. The lot also includes 39 additional printed artist proof pages some with notes and page numbers written in ink. Signed first printing signed and dated by John Sebastian also included. The production of this book obviously took place over the course of several years with this lot being some of the earlier work done on the project. This fact is reflected in the that these original production drawings and sketches never made it to the final book. The drawings here are of "JB" as a human child. The book reflects "JB" James Bear as a bear cub. Most of the scenes portrayed in these drawings made it to the final published book they simply feature a bear instead of a human child. Interestingly this change created this archive of now UNPUBLISHED artwork that was saved by Garth himself and sold by the estate of Garth Williams. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich unknown

"Yesterday afternoon we did have a visit with E.B White. He is old and lonely and he just isn't very well. It is sad that he has lost so much of his vigor. But the old spark was there from time to time and we had some awfully good talk over cocktails and dinner. He very kindly agreed to inscribe two copies of Charlotte's Web one for you and I presume young Tony the other for Darby Drew. They are on their way to you under separate cover."

COLLECTED POEMS: 1921-1931

1934ST20338-089New York: The Objectivist Press 1934. FIRST EDITION. With a preface by Wallace Stevens. 195 x 130 mm. 7 1/2 x 5". viii 134 pp. Publisher's rose-colored buckram spine with printed paper label. Housed in a modern red buckram clamshell box backed with green morocco with gilt lettering. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR to his editor on the front flyleaf: "William Carlos Williams / to / Jack Thirlwall." With an invoice laid in for the purchase see below. Spine a little sunned leaves faintly toned at edges because of paper stock otherwise fine. This is an excellent copy of a collection of Williams' poetry written primarily in the 1920s inscribed to the author's friend and editor. William Carlos Williams 1883-1963 was a practicing physician as well as a Pulitzer-prize winning American poet. According to the Poetry Foundation "Though his career was initially overshadowed by other poets he became an inspiration to the Beat generation in the 1950s and 60s. He was known as an experimenter an innovator a revolutionary figure in American poetry." In a review of this collection following its publication the New York Times called the poet: "an unconquerable individualist. In an age of success through easy compromises he has indulged himself in the luxury of integrity. He has written some of the most obscure poetry of our time just as Einstein has written some of the most obscure equations." This copy is inscribed to City College Professor of English John C. Thirlwall whom Williams calls "Jack" a friend of the poet in the last decade of his life and the editor of "The Selected Letters of William Carlos Williams" published in 1957. The signature here is scrawled in a large palsied hand reflecting the stroke Williams had when he was 58. A scarce book in itself this collection is seldom found inscribed especially when the inscribee is as important to Williams as was Thirlwall. Although without signs of later provenance our volume comes from the collection of the noted Southern California poet Laure-Anne Bosselaar who according to a laid-in invoice purchased the book for $1995 from Jett Whitehead in 1996.

Bridgman, Percy WilliamsBiblio.com

Two Papers on High-Pressure Ice

191413011914. First Edition. Bridgman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1946 for his invention of an apparatus capable of generating sustained hydrostatic pressures far exceeding those previously attainable and for the discoveries he made with it. The two papers offered here together constitute the primary and secondary publication of the most celebrated of those discoveries: the existence of five distinct polymorphic forms of ice each stable within a defined region of pressure and temperature mapped for the first time across a pressure range reaching 20500 kgm/cm² — nearly six times the highest pressure at which water had previously been studied. The high-pressure ice phases Bridgman first characterized are now understood to be among the most abundant forms of water in the solar system present in the interiors of icy moons and their properties remain central to models of planetary structure and the physics of the deep ocean floor. 1 Water In the Liquid and Five Solid Forms Under Pressure; from Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Vol. XLVII No. 13 pp. 441–558. Boston: American Academy of Arts and Sciences 1912. Offprint 8vo 244 × 159mm pp. 1 118 2 plus 2 inserted plates. Original green printed wrappers some chips one from the lower corner of the front wrapper secured with tape ex-libris stamp of E. K. Rideal to the front wrapper light damp-stain to the gutter of the final quire most pages unopened very good. The full technical account conducted at the Jefferson Physical Laboratory Harvard University with support from the Rumford Fund of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. As Bridgman states in his introduction the purpose of the paper is to identify the fundamental facts that any theory of liquids valid for high pressures must accommodate and to determine the nature of the equilibria between the crystalline and liquid phases; questions that no existing theory of liquids was at that time competent to answer. Beyond the discovery and characterization of the five ice polymorphs and the mapping of their mutual equilibria and transition points the paper measures the compressibility of liquid water and of each solid phase across the pressure range documents the anomalous behavior of water near the liquid-vapor curve and at the density maximum and engages critically with Tammann's theoretical treatment of the liquid-solid equilibrium curve finding it inadequate to account for the behavior actually observed. The apparatus employed a nickel-steel high-pressure cylinder with a manganin resistance coil calibrated at the Bureau of Standards embodies the self-sealing packing Bridgman had developed in preceding years the invention that made the entire program of research possible by eliminating the leak problem that had constrained all previous high-pressure experimentation. Ex–E. K. Rideal physical chemist and director of the Davy-Faraday Laboratory at the Royal Institution. 2 High Pressure and Five Kinds of Ice; extracted from the Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 177 pp. 315-332. Philadelphia: Franklin Institute 1914. Extracted paper 8vo 222 x 144mm pp. 18. Staple and tape-bound some light toning near fine. An abstract of a paper presented to the Section of Physics and Chemistry on November 13 1913 in which Bridgman presents the principal results of the 1912 investigation to a general scientific audience. The introduction is notable for his effort to convey the scale of the pressures involved to readers unfamiliar with them: the highest pressures ordinarily familiar he observes are those of modern artillery where the average firing pressure of large guns reaches approximately 2000 atmospheres; the pressures in his experiments 20000 atmospheres sufficient if exerted against a one-inch square steel rod to support a locomotive weighing 150 tons are ten times that amount and nearly double the highest pressure previously measured which was produced by the explosion of nitroglycerin in a closed vessel. This is the form in which the discovery of the five ice polymorphs first reached the broader scientific community. unknown
