198825739Stroud: Catalpa Press 1988. stiff paper wrappers. Lear Edward. oblong 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. xii 119 pages. With introductory remarks by Vivien Noakes. A fascinating census of the limericks in Edward Lear's Book of Nonsensewhich was first published in 1846 as two separate volumes with seventy-three limericks. A "new" i.e. second edition came out in 1855 and a third edition with forty-three additional verses was published in 1861. This third edition provides the first full text and also identifies Lear as the author for the first time. It is often considered the first "trade" version as it was published by Routledge Warne & Routledge and consequently received broader distribution and readership. Justin Schiller has cross-referenced the 116 limericks in the third edition with eight manuscripts for this book which are now preserved in various rare book collections and compared them to the printed texts of the 1846 1855 and 1861 editions. This volume also contains a census of known copies of the genuine first edition. Catalpa Press unknown books

2002810<p>New York: HarperCollins Publishers Inc. 2002. First Edition First Printing. SIGNED by Lawrence Schiller on the title page under which the word "and" has been written and then marked through. Based on research and interviews by Lawrence Schiller and Norman Mailer the book presents a psychological portrait of FBI agent Robert P. Hanssen who sold classified information to the KGB and its successor organization over more than 20 years. Hanssen was captured in 2001 and is serving multiple life sentences in a Colorado prison. The book is written as a novel with imagined dialogue. Schiller and Mailer were unable to interview Hanssen who was already a guest of U.S. taxpayers. Nonetheless it's a fascinating attempt to get into the mind of an American traitor especially through the device of having Hanssen talk to himself while looking at a mirror. 8vo. xv 317 pages. Near Fine with a minuscule mark to the upper board's right edge and a bump to its lower right corner in a Fine dust jacket. SCARCE signed. <br /><br />The backstory to this book is unusual and a bit convoluted. In Schiller's Author's Note he says he asked Mailer to write a screenplay for a CBS Television miniseries that Schiller would produce and direct. As Mailer was finishing the first draft of the screenplay Schiller decided to write the present book using Mailer's draft as the foundation. Schiller says he supplemented Mailer's draft with his own research. The book appeared in 2002 as did the series on CBS. The series starred William Hurt as Hanssen Mary-Louise Parker as his wife Peter Boyle as his father and David Strathairn as his best friend.</p><p>In addition to this book Schiller and Mailer also collaborated on "The Executioner's Song" and "Oswald's Tale."</p> HarperCollins Publishers Inc. books
