1932402431Milwaukee: Casanova Press 1932. Light rubbing to slipcase a pale offset on endpapers; the book bright and fresh. Tall 8vo. 53 1 pp. Photographic portrait of Faulkner mounted as frontispiece. Original printed wrappers the rear wrapper printing Ernest Hemingway's poem "Ultimately"; publisher's board slipcase. FIRST EDITION LIMITED ISSUE number 483 of 525 numbered copies. This was the first book issued by Milwaukee's Casanova Press designed by Paul Romaine who he states on the colophon "is obviously very unlike Aldus or Bodoni but who is very young and has many years to correct the glaring defects herein of composition." The articles and poems in Salmagundi first appeared in the New Orleans' magazine The Double Dealer and were reprinted with Faulkner's permission. The inclusion of Hemingway's poem on the rear wrapper was done as "just a whim" but "a whim inspired by one of the oddest coincidences in modern literature: William Faulkner's poem Portrait and Ernest Hemingway's poem Ultimately both appear on page 337 of the June 1922 issue of The Double Dealer. The meticulous Louis Cohn will be glad to know this I am sure since he forgot to include it in his complete bibliography of Hemingway's works. He also left out the names of the horses from whence came the glue to bind Hemingway's books" Preface. In addition to Hemingway's poem Salmagundi contains five poems and three prose pieces by Faulkner. Massey 753; Petersen A11a. <br/><br/> Casanova Press unknown books

B&W photographs Faulkner's prefatory note: "This play was written not to be a play but as what seemed to me the best way to tell the story in a novel. It became a play to me only after Ruth Ford saw it as a play and believe that only she could do it right. When in English it is her play. What she adds to it to make it a better lay is Ruth Ford." In addition to adapting Faulkner's novel for the stage Ruth Ford also played the lead role of "Temple" an older version of Temple Drake the central character in Faulkner's 1931 novel "Sanctuary" to which "Requiem" was a sequel in the original Broadway production directed by Tony Richardson which ran for 43 performances in early 1959. .
