192429468AB1924. Two Volumes complete set. New York Knopf 1924. Octavo. 389 359 pages. Original Hardcover with the very rare original dustjackets in breathtaking condition now in protective collector's Mylar. Unusually Fine condition with the meaningful letter by Nobel Laureate Thomas Mann. The letter accompanying this amazing set of "Buddenbrooks" is of significance because it is reflecting Thomas Mann's willingness to already engage with serious admirers during his first year of Exile in the US. While exiled in Switzerland Mann must have been still able to feel a connection to his "Heimat"; by language and geography. Now in America one can only imagine the consolation of him knowing that his whole family had not only successfully sheltered from Nazi Germany but found a new home in which they were welcomed and were able to continue their very own pursuit of happiness through Literature continue their ability to work and find meaning in this new world. Especially Thomas Mann's earnest remark towards Brown Taylor mentioning of his daughter Erika Mann lecturing at Colby College must have given him a sense of peace and calm only a father can understand who has uprooted his family into the abyss of the unknown. Mann knew very well of fellow exiles and their struggles. Letters like these are not merely an autograph they are reflecion of states of mind and of great importance for our understanding the psychology of endurance.

First editions of 16 original issues of this Craftsman bungalow promotional magazine issued by noted Seattle entrepreneur and real estate developer Jud Yoho 1882-1968 known as “The Bungalow Craftsman†in Seattle’s active market prior to World War I. Bungalow Magazine had been originally launched 1908-1912 by Henry Wilson in Los Angeles but Yoho took over the magazine moved the publishing to Seattle and during its 6 year run attracted a nationwide audience. With the slogan of “an illustrated monthly magazine devoted exclusively to artistic bungalow homes†modeled on Gustav Stickley’s Craftsman magazine this glossy periodical featured Seattle bungalows and articles about California residences Eastern Craftsman homes and occasionally lifted articles directly from the Craftsman. The Bungalow Magazine attracted a nationwide audience included feature articles on a variety of Craftsman style homes their technology and mechanical systems and amateur projects in furniture design and construction to enhance the prospective home owner’s bungalow.
