70393Paris: Booster Publications no date circa 1937. Essay LIMITED EDITION WITH CERTIFICATE OF LIMITATION AND PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION IN THE AUTHOR'S HAND. Octavo 19 x 15cm pp.64. Black card covers lettered in gilt to front cover. This copy is numbered 275 of 495 copies that have been inscribed by the author. Edges untrimmed. Toning to edges of pages toning to edges of text-block previous bookseller's sticker front paste down dulling to gilt lettering some light markings to black card expected bumping and rolling to corners and spine. Very good. This edition of 'Money and How It Gets That Way' was limited to a production of 495 copies numbered by Henry Miller on page 4. Also in the author's hand is the presentation inscription: 'This copy no. 275 is reserved exclusively for the Right Reverend man of letters John Gawsworth.' John Gawsworth 1912-1970 was a British writer and was the King of Redonda which Miller also references later in the inscription. Loosely inserted are two newspaper clippings that reference Gawsworth. Henry Miller explains in his preface that he was originally inspired to write 'this little treatise' after a post card from Ezra Pound. In his letter Pound asks whether Miller has ever 'thought about money'; after this question Miller was able to think about little else and he hopes if his book 'does not settle the problem of money once and for all may it at least unsettle it.'.

22205Cromarty11 October 1830. About 1000 words on 3 pp. 9 x 7 inches address panel in very good clean condition. Hugh Miller 18021856 considered one of Scotland's most influential Victorian palaeontologists geologist evangelical journalist and writer. Miller tackled the great question of the time taking full part in the public debate on pre-Darwinian evolutionary ideas provoked notably by Robert Chambers's Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation 1844. In Footprints of the Creator 1849 and The Testimony of the Rocks 1857 Miller argued that the appearance of complex animals early in the fossil record refuted such naïve ideas of simple progression from primitive to advanced organisms. This valid objection was not refuted until after Miller's death by Charles Darwin's non-progressionist theory of natural selection. DNB unknown

A Typed Letter Signed to "Dear Friend" one page of browned paper with two repairs to vertical folds and three unrepaired tears 4to n.p. Big Sur n.d. Miller apologizes to his correspondent that he is no longer able to respond to mail about his books as he has no time to actually write these books any more. "I regret that I am unable to answer your letter myself. for years the letters from readers of my books were a sustaining note in my life. Of late. has become a burden." He specifies by writing about the book he is working on. "Since 1942 due to the pressures of other work I have. put off the consummation of the one book which means more to me than any I have written thus far - THE ROSY CRUCIFIXION. I want the luxury of being able to concentrate on this work." The Rosy Crucifixion consisted of three works Sexus 1949 Plexus 1953 and Nexus 1959 and were all three published together by Grove Press in 1965. Miller introduces his friend Emil White who would be answering letters for him. "Emil White who has volunteered to answer my mail is a close friend who lives nearby. He is doing this without compensation. Be kind to him!" Signed in full with Emil's address in Big Sur below. Emil White 1926-99 artist and close friend of Henry Miller. The Autograph Letter Signed by Emil White on Henry Miller personal Big Sur stationery with trapezoidal photo illustration of Miller at head is to a bookseller named Mr. Lindmark Sept. 28 1945. White writes on behalf of Henry Miller who had entrusted his friend Emil White to act as his secretary. "Enclosed is a picture of Henry Miller the only one he has at this time. Mr. Miller regrets he cannot do the "blurb" for your book store. As for B. Traven he knows. little about him. If you think you can get by the customs authorities you may try to import his earlier books from. Obelisk Press. Paris." In a P.S. written along the side margins "Can you obtain for Mr. Miller the following books at reasonable prices: Knut Hamsun "Mysteries"; Jean Giono - "Joy of Man's Desiring" and Duhamel." White's letter is related in spirit but unrelated in date and inscription to MIller's signed photograph. Condition: photograph shows some cracking in upper left corner but overall in good condition as is White's ALS but Miller's TLS on brown paper has been backed on Mulberry paper due to a full tear across a horizontal fold and splits along vertical folds. unknown books

A View from the Bridge tells the story of Italian American Eddie Carbone as he harbors two family members who have immigrated to the United States illegally. The play first appeared as a one-act play alongside A Memory of Two Mondays and was produced by Martin Ritt on September 29 1955 at the Coronet Theatre in New York. Despite Miller's reverence for the format of the one-act play he later revised and extended A View From a Bridge so that it consisted of two acts. Otis Guernsey Jr. 1918 - 2001 was an influential American theater critic and editor who worked at the New York Herald Tribune for 19 years 1941 - 1960 moving up the ranks from copy boy to drama critic and arts editor.

A member of the New York Drama Critics Circle Pulitzer Committee for Drama and Tony Award nominating committee he was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 2001. Otis Guernsey Jr. was a big proponent of Miller's work. In a New York Times article he's quoted as saying that Miller's Death of a Salesman is "the best play written in my lifetime." Elaborating he says "'It shocked us all to realize that the American dream was not enough and that we never found what it was we should be pursuing" Dec. 22 1987. He also helped bring Death of a Salesman to television in 1966 while serving as a CBS consultant. . Inscribed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included.
