Murder Being Once Done Signed 1st

1972B1062London: Hutchinson 1972. First. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Rendell's 7th Book in her Inspector Wexford series and for some reason one of the scarcer titles from the series particularly signed. From the publisher: A young girl is murdered in a cemetery. And Wexford's doctor has prescribed no alcohol no rich food and above all no police work. When a young girl's body is found in a London cemetery and the local police under the command of Wexford's nephew are baffled Wexford decides to brave his doctor's wrath and the condescension of the London police by doing a little investigating of his own. A compelling story of mysterious identity and untimely death Murder Being Once Done is Rendell at her most sublime. With her Inspector Wexford novels Ruth Rendell winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award has added layers of depth realism and unease to the classic English mystery. For the canny tireless and unflappable policeman is an unblinking observer of human nature whose study has taught him that under certain circumstances the most unlikely people are capable of the most appalling crimes. This copy is fine in black cloth with gilt titles on the spine. No marks or damage at all. The unclipped DJ is also excellent. Signed by Rendell on the title page. Very scarce especially signed. From a private collection. . EB19. Hutchinson hardcover

No. 35 of 75 copies bound in morocco octavo size 160 pp. signed by Gwenda Morgan with prospectus. Per the book's prospectus: "Among treasures sent out of Berlin for safety during the war were the notebooks of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Among the manuscripts are a large number of the fairy-tales collected with tireless enthusiasm by the brothers and for various reasons a considerable proportion of these are not available to the general reader and are virtually unknown. Already in 1823 when Taylor made the first English translation it was realized that a further selection should be published in English to contain excluded stories which Taylor described as 'most curious' and 'of great merit'. He had felt bound to suppress them he wrote 'in deference to the scrupulous fastidiousness of modern taste especially in works likely to attract the attention of youth'. The fifty tales now printed in the Golden Cockerel selection are the cream of what we have called the Grimms' 'Other Tales' since none was included in their definitive German edition nor in Taylor's classic English translation." ___DESCRIPTION: Full purple morocco gilt vignette of a giant on front board gilt vignette of a village with a castle on a hilltop in the distance on the rear board top edge gilt wood engravings by Gwenda Morgan n. b. the prospectus and bibliography both state that there are eleven wood engravings while the title page of the book states ten; we count nine full-page engravings the publisher's device on the title page and a headpiece that opens the first tale; Poliphilus type mouldmade paper octavo size just over 9.25" tall pagination: 1 2-160; one of 75 copies specially bound in purple morocco this number 35 total edition of 500 signed by Gwenda Morgan in blue ink on the colophon page.

Theatrical Window Card Poster for: REQUIEM FOR A NUN

1959WRCLIT73387New York: The Theatre Guild / Golden Theatre 1959. Folio 22 x 14" highly pictorial window card printed on recto only of stiff card. Artwork by noted Broadway poster artist Tom Morrow. Lightly tanned at extreme edges with a minor dust mark at lower edge else near fine. A window card promoting the short-lived Broadway run of Faulkner's sole venture into commercial theatre produced at the John Golden Theatre directed by Tony Richardson and adapted by Faulkner and Ruth Ford from Faulkner's novel. Graphically strong and like most Broadway posters of this era very scarce even before factoring in the brevity of this play's American run of 43 performances. The poster simply credits this as William Faulkner's "Requiem for a Nun" with no reference to the writing contribution of Ruth Ford who also starred in the role of the former Temple Drake. In addition to Ford the play featured Zachary Scott Beatrice Reading and Scott McKay among others. Ms. Reading was nominated for a Tony in the category of Featured Actress in a Play for her portrayal of the character Nancy Mannigoe. The Theatre Guild / Golden Theatre unknown books
