He was a brilliant man. Words were his life. Whether he was talking or writing they came forth clear incisive and picturesque. He loved his stage on which he always managed to be the principal character. As a professor of English Literature at Occidental College UCLA and Berkeley he influenced several generations of students…I recently found these poems of MacIntyre's buried in correspondence four decades now past to be here printed many years after his death." MacIntyre d. 1967 is primarily remembered for his translations of Baudelaire Verlaine George Goethe and Rilke.</p> Laguna Verde Imprenta,

Each on a single folded "Aerogramme" sheet addressed by Cockerell on verso; one page each. 8vo. Charming letters from the aging museum director collector and calligrapher to his American counterpart Paul Standard founding member of the Typophiles and champion of calligraphy.<br /> <br /> In the first Cockerell expresses his delight on receiving the news that he "will have the great pleasure of seeing you and Mrs. Standard here in June - by the same post came one from RUTH DRAPER saying exactly the same thing . I shall be delighted to show you my Bembo ms and other fine specimens of Italian calligraphy."<br /> <br /> In the second Cockerell touchingly apologizes for his tardiness in answering: "I am going through rather a tiresome phase of my malady Old Age which makes me lethargic and rather disinclined to answer letters . Stella dear I think of you lovingly and wish speedy completion to your new book with much applause to follow. Dear Paul I feel that we understand each other and have a mutual affecton which wll not wear thin ."<br /> <br /> In the last letter Cockerell is glad to know that "'Italian Food' by Elizabeth David has been an acceptable addition to Stella's culinary library . Also I was glad to have news of STANLEY MORISON for whom I have great admiration . BR is another old and dear friend to whom I am glad to have had my recalled - He is maturing but I believe he's not eager to grow old - what a lot he has done for printing both in America and here .". unknown

192729063n.p.: n.p. 1927. About fine. Large fairy watercolor ink and tempera image used as the wrap-around cover image of TWINKIE TOWN TALES Book No. 2. Henderson adds a rainbow aplomb to this series of fairy-like creatures by author Carlyle Emery. Depicted is a grand feast of the Twinkies: 19 of the cherubic elves are sitting at a table feasting on cake and a cherry larger than their heads. The vibrant image is carefully laid out to consider the final format with the visible interest concentrated on the right-hand side which would become the front cover. The image appears greatly reduced on the book published in a small format 8.5'' tall by St. Louis by Hamilton Brown in 1927. 18'' x 26'' image; 27'' x 36'' frame. Original painting professionally matted and framed not examined outside frame. Title lettering in the upper right corner reading "Twinkie Town Tales BOOK 2." A couple minor scratches to frame; art beautiful. Accompanied by a first edition copy of the book. n.p. unknown

Printed in black and red by Cobden-Sanderson and Emery Walker. Very Good. Covers curled with red spotted staining to rear cover and light foxing to fore edge. Bookplate of famed bibliophile Decherd Turner 1922-2002 on the front free endpaper with transfer mark from previously pasted bookseller's ticket at front pastedown. <p>A stunning Doves Press production of Carlyle's comic novel first printed serially in Fraser’s Magazine from 1833 to 1834. The Scottish essayist and historian had intended this to be a new kind of novel with varying paradoxical themes that intertwined fact and fiction speculation seriousness and satire. The book is a parody of German Idealism and of Hegel in particular. <p>Books printed by Cobden-Sanderson and Emery Walker at the Doves Press are characterized by a stark simplicity “dependent for their beauty almost entirely upon the clarity of the type the excellence of the layout and the perfection of the presswork†Cave 147. They reflect Cobden-Sanderson’s passion for the “ideal book†in its entirety. Doves imprints are scarce because when the press closed in 1913 Cobden-Sanderson cast all the type off the Hammersmith Bridge into the Thames— to remain “untouched for other use†Ransom 59.

ONE OF 300 COPIES printed on paper and 15 on vellum. 235 x 165 mm. 9 1/4 x 6 1/2". 341 1 pp. <br/> VERY ATTRACTIVE DARK BLUE CRUSHED MOROCCO IN THE STYLE OF THE DOVES BINDERY counterfeit signature stamped and dated 1907 to the rear turn-in covers simply framed by two plain gilt rules raised bands spine compartments with rose window designs formed by six open ovals accented with dots encircled by two gilt rules with low platforms and dots above and below gilt titling turn-ins gilt-ruled and with cornerpieces of open ovals dots and gouge work all edges gilt and gauffered with two rows of tiny dots. Initials designed by Edward Johnston. Printed in red and black. Pastedown with the bookplate of Helen and Michael Oppenheimer. Tidcombe DP-13. For the binding: Tidcombe p. 464. Spine a little sunned just a trace of soiling to leather the usual offsetting from the facing turn-ins on the front and rear free endpaper a hint of yellowing to quire b but still fine the text otherwise pristine and the binding unworn and lustrous.<br/> <br/> This is one of the 26 intriguing and obviously uncommon examples Tidcombe has identified as forged or imitation Doves bindings a group of handsomely executed volumes that continue to be mysterious. Tidcombe differentiates between forgeries those books that are stamp-signed with "C - S" and a date as here on the one hand and unsigned "copies of Doves bindings or bindings in the Doves style" on the other. But she treats them as one group "because they have several features in common." For example signed or unsigned all of the suspect bindings cover Doves Press books all are bound in dark blue morocco and all have a signature pallet with the letters "E" and "S" close together. Although Tidcombe suggests that the person responsible for the forged Doves bindings could possibly have been the former Doves Bindery finisher Charles McLeish she does not settle on him or any other likely candidate. Whoever was behind them the volumes in this puzzling group of bindings--like other forgeries and imitations of historically important cultural artifacts--are actively collected for their value as counterfeits. And as with other counterfeits the present binding is a kind of implicit homage in this case to the outstanding work done by Cobden-Sanderson at the Doves Bindery--our spurious binding would not have been worth undertaking were the objects it mirrored not so universally recognized as worthy of imitation. The text here is an uncategorizable work reminiscent of satires by Swift and Sterne in its fictitious biography of Teufelsdroeckh i.e. "devil's dung" Professor of Things in General at the University of Weissnichtwo "Know-not-where". Day calls it "an intellectual and spiritual autobiography and a diatribe against current conditions in England" that advocates a reorganization of society and its institutions so that "Brotherhood and the duty to work usefully will grip mankind's true leaders and assure a theocracy a reborn humanity ruled by the divine spirit within." Our volume was formerly in the collection of fine private press books owned by the distinguished scholars Sir Michael Oppenheimer 1924-2020 and his wife Lady Helen Oppenheimer 1926-2022; he was an Oxford lecturer in politics and history she an Anglican theologian whose groundbreaking work on ethics helped reform the church's position on remarriage of divorced persons.
