1955WRCLIT71672Berkeley: Berkeley Young Socialist League 1955. 215 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Stapled at left with mimeographed upper wrapper. Old folds from mailing lacks lower wrapper which included YSL info and adverts a bit of sunning else very good. A possible candidate for being the first separate US printing of Orwell's essay first published in POLEMIC May 1946 then published separately in the UK the same year by the Socialist Book Centre and eventually collected in SHOOTING AN ELEPHANT both UK and US 1950. The 1 1/3 page "Publisher's Remarks" by James Robertson is dated 29 January 1955 and curiously remarks about the lack of availability of the essay in the US. The YSL was one of the most visible and influential of the leftist campus groups of the 1950s and evolved as an offshoot of Max Shachtman's Workers Party. Robertson's "Prefatory remarks" reflect the YSL's Trotskyite affiliation by taking issue with Orwell's "slight acquaintance" with Trotsky's writings. OCLC/Worldcat locates a single copy at Brown. Not In Fenwick and even if wanting in chronological priority and perhaps even wanting in authorization by Orwell's estate of significant bibliographic and contextual interest. OCLC: 54827397.

195572629Berkeley California: Berkeley Young Socialist League 1955. Wraps. Very good. Likely the first separate American printing of this essay which was first published in the May 1946 issue of Polemic. In this critical discussion Orwell born Eric Arthur Blair 1903-50 acknowledges that the general drift has "almost certainly been towards oligarchy" and "an increasing concentration of industrial and financial power" but criticizes the tendency of Burnham's "power-worship" and comments upon the failures in analysis that arise from it. As biographer Michael Shelden observed "Orwell was always at his best when he was on the attack and his Polemic essay on Burnham is a brilliant criticism of the whole concept of power worship." Preceded by publisher's remarks by James Robertson of the Berkeley Young Socialist League the influential leftist campus group. The recto of the rear wrapper includes the YSL Statement of Principles along with a mailing form with the organization's Berkeley and New York addresses. Mimeographed 2 15 p. Original mimeographed blue paper wrappers 8 ½" x 11" bound with staples. Some general toning to the wrappers with offsetting to the rear panel; else very good.

Slim octavo 21.5cm; original stapled wrappers; 20pp. Starting oxidation to staples hint of tanning to text edges else a bright Fine copy. First separate appearance of an essay which first appeared in Polemic 3 under the title "Second Thoughts on James Burnham." Orwell provides a critical appraisal of American philosopher and political theorist James Burnham's 1941 work The Managerial Revolution in which Burnham lists four "managerial ideologies": Leninism-Stalinism Fascism-Nazism New Dealism and Technocracy. Orwell's forthcoming novel Nineteen Eighty-Four was based on many of the themes found in Burnham's book. FENWICK D.2.a. Socialist Book Centre unknown books
1946170845London: Socialist Book Centre 1946. First separate edition first impression of this critique of the concept of power worship. Orwell's short essay reflects on Burnham's thesis that technocracy would supplant capitalism - forcefully or otherwise. George Kateb has argued that Orwell's interpretation of Burnham's politics would serve as the "intellectual basis of 1984" p. 572. Notably however Orwell rejects Burnham's contention that the ruling class can effectively redefine reality at will. Orwell's article was originally published the same year as "Second Thoughts on James Burnham" in Polemic 3 a philosophical magazine. Octavo. Original red and white spotted wrappers lettered in black. Light bumping and sunning minor rusting to staples slight toning to contents: a very good copy indeed. Fenwick D.2a.

198823455Los Angeles CA: Twelvetrees Press 1988. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket. Los Angeles CA: Twelvetrees Press 1988. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. Unpaginated. The photographer's breakthrough debut collection. One of the greatest photography books of the 20th century. Limited Edition of 2000 copies. The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with the 2014 Steidl New Edition. Published as a hardcover original only. The Limited Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Ken Schles and Jack Woody: Regular-sized volume format. Cloth boards with titles on cover and spine as issued. Photographs by Ken Schles. Text-quotations by Jean Baudrillard Jorge Luis Borges Franz Kafka Lewis Mumford and George Orwell. Printed in rich gravure on thick uncoated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. A masterpiece of sheetfed gravure printing outstanding in every respect. In black pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine as issued. Presents Ken Schles' "Invisible City". Haunting nocturnal images of city streets juxtaposed with the people who inhabit them. They share an eerily disturbing quality which makes them seem meant for each other: A desolate place for a shadowy people. It is well-known that the photographs were taken in New York City and evoke Weegee's great work "Naked City" 1945. But there is no doubt that Schles also intends them to be seen as transcending their actual place and having a universal significance: As the intensely personal vision of an artist. His work seems to have haunted Ken Schles because it took him thirteen years - an eternity in our restless time - to produce his second collection "Geometry of Innocence" 2001. The latter looks outwardly where "Invisible City" was more inward-looking. "Stands alongside Brassai's 'Paris de Nuit' and van der Elsken's 'Love On The Left Bank' as one of the twentieth century's great depictions of nocturnal bohemian experience" Gerhard Steidl. An absolute "must-have" title for Ken Schles collectors. This title is a great photography book. This is one of few copies of the true First Edition/Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with the 2014 Reissued Edition. Copies available online even those that are signed have serious flaws. Obtained directly from the publisher this is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. 45 sheetfed gravure plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. SEE ALSO OTHER KEN SCHLES TITLE IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 094264235X. Twelvetrees Press hardcover
194014507London: Victor Gollancz Ltd 1940. Cloth. Very Good. SIGNED BY GEORGE ORWELL on the front free endpaper. A solid copy to boot of the 1940 true 1st edition of this uncommon collection of Orwell essays consisting of 3 lengthy pieces --"Charles Dickens" "Boys' Weeklies" and "Inside the Whale". Tight and VG in its dark cloth with rubbing to the spine lettering light spotting --and a bit of minor staining-- at the panels and just a touch of foxing to the endsheets.

Only a very small handful of 20th century authors command comparable respect in the rare book world. <br/><br/> Victor Gollancz Ltd hardcover books
