19692481New York: A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book/ Harcourt Brace & World Inc 1969. Quarter cloth paper boards. Very Good. FIRST US EDITION SIGNED BY AUTHOR with TLS & hand-written postcard. 8vo. Quarter green cloth spine lettered and decorated in black and green grey boards with black-stamped decoration to upper board. Green top edge mostly faded. Pushing to spine ends bands of sunning to board edges dint to bottom edge. Signed by Bryher to ffep with "Best wishes from" else clean and tight. Two-page folded TLS and hand-written postcard featuring puffins laid in. In Paul Bacon's original illustrated dust jacket: spine gently darkened gently toned and soiled edges creased closed tear to rear panel. Still a lovely tight copy of Bryher's final novel. Unusual especially signed and with a TLS and hand-written postcard. Seemingly Mr J H Fall's copy the addressee of both the TLS and postcard. On Villa Kenwin-headed paper and written shortly after its publication Bryher discusses her novel advising Fall that "You never need feel you have to like the book." The letter also covered her liking of Akenside the change in approach to the T.L.S. and that she'd take In Aleppo Once "if it seems at all interesting". Dated three years later the postcard briefly outlines the novelist's travel plans: from a "wonderful week in the Scillies" she returned to London and then on to Kenwin: even in her seventies the novelist continued to travel. Bryher had deep emotional ties to both Switzerland the location of her Bauhaus-style home Villa Kenwin and the Isles of Scilly where she owned a daffodil farm and from which she had borrowed her adopted name. Perhaps indicating a note of formality both documents are signed "Winifred Bryher". Bryher and H.D. had long used Bumpus for sourcing books: perhaps Fall was a bookseller A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book/ Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc hardcover
228883 and 7 September 1866. Both from 60 Lincolns Inn Fields London. Both in good condition lightly aged with thin strip from mount adhering and crease lines from folding. Two excellent long letters in Spedding's neat and close hand full of content regarding the relationship between Victorian author publisher and reader. The topic is Spedding's preparation for the publication of his pamphlet 'Publishers and Authors' London: J. R. Smith 1867. Both letters addressed to 'My dear Mervivale'. ONE: 3 September 1866. 4pp 18mo. On a bifolium. A 'communication from America . about 3 months since' has put into his head an old paper of his 'gathering dust in a drawer' regarding 'the complaints of the buyer and reader against the publisher and bookseller for the many inconveniences to which they put him without sufficient reason by the conditions under which they supply him with the books he wants'. Speeding has been informed by 'Donne' that Merivale has 'studied and preserved your publishing accounts in which case you may be able to supply me with a fact or two in illustration' for a second paper he is writing. He describes the history of the paper: 'About 4 years ago the contemplation of Longmans' proceedings suggested to me some remarks upon the subject of publishing generally - which I offered to Froude i.e. J. A. Froude as editor of Fraser's Magazine under the title "Proposals for a better understanding between book-publishers and book-buyers by one who buys books to read." But he felt it his duty to shew it first to old Parker; the Cambridge bookseller J. W. Parker who interposed an emphatic veto. And Tom Hughes tried it afterwards with Macmillan with no better success.' He proceeds to discuss 'the "half-profits" bargain which I had understood to be the one usually offered here to untried authors' and 'the "Royalty" system' 'which was new to me'. Having heard that the Fortnightly Review was 'not under domination of any publisher' he has sent his second paper to the editor G. H. Lewes George Eliot's husband who 'though he agrees with me and wants the question to be agitated does not feel justified in exposing other people's property to the damage which he thinks it would cause - through the hostility which it would certainly excite in the general body of publishers'. Spedding proposes to print the two papers himself 'in a handsome little volume fit to lie on a drawing-room table and to circulate it as widely as I can perhaps with the title "Forbidden Questions - concerning Publishers Authors booksellers purchasers and readers."' He ends by discussing a suggestion from Lewes on how to strengthen his case. TWO: 8pp 18mo. On two bifoliums. He begins by explaining that the time 'was never less convenient . for paying visits' as he is 'preparing for a migration'. He explains at length the problems he faces in this regard with reference to his family before turning to Merivale's accounts and a discussion - with hypothetical examples - of 'the amount of profit which the publisher has a right to expect' again with relation to the 'royalty' and 'half-profit' systems. He does not express an opinion his desire being to bring the matter 'into the light'. He cites a case in which 'the author had a right to be warned' and remarks: 'I gather from what you say that if you had known as much when you made your first bargaimn as you do now you would have proceded differently.' He concludes in the hope that 'a few specimens would serve to put authors on their guard and warn them to prefer a form of agreement which does not leave room for deception: which is manifestly practicable: and though it would leave with the richer party the divine right of having the best of the bargain would nevertheless make the poorer less helpless and better aware of what he is about'. 3 and 7 September 1866. Both from 60 Lincolns Inn Fields [London]. unknown
