37472San Francisco: Arion Press 2007. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. Number 297 of 300 numbered copies of this deluxe edition of Eliot's seminal poem. There were also 26 lettered copies for complimentary distribution. This is the 79th publication from the acclaimed Arion Press.

This is a complex and elegant presentation of Eliot's literary masterpiece that he wrote in the aftermath of the carnage and violence of the first world war and the devastation of a global pandemic. The book is in sections described by the publisher as partitions. There first is an essay on the poem by noted poetry scholar Helen Vendler. The poem is interspersed with in detail and entire the painting "If Not Not" by R.B. Kitaj. Kitaj 1932 - 2007 was an American artist who spent much of his life in England. He had a significant influence on British pop art with his figurative paintings featuring areas of bright color economic use of line and overlapping planes which made them resemble collages but eschewing most abstraction and modernism. Allusions to political history art literature and Jewish identity often recur in his work mixed together on one canvas to produce a collage effect. Wikipedia In an essay by Marco Livingstone describing the poem written by Kitaj in 1975-76 as an ambitious mysterious and haunting work that occupies a key position in his history as The Waste Land does in Eliot's. Kitaj in fact took inspiration from Eliot's poem and stated that his picture bears a certain allegiance to it.<br /> <br /> The Waste Land was edited designed and produced by Andrew Hoyem at his Arion Press.

1982188673Middlesex: Puffin Books 1982. First edition of this adventure gamebook the first in the Fighting Fantasy series. The Warlock of Firetop Mountain was published in 1982 in a run of only 5000 copies that quickly sold out prompting 11 reprints. In the 1970s Jackson and Livingstone the cofounders of Games Workshop were running a fanzine for role playing enthusiasts through which they distributed board games via mail-order. This fanzine which would become White Dwarf landed them the UK distribution rights to the original Dungeons & Dragons set. A Puffin rep attending one of their events witnessed people playing the table-top game and asked if they could write something to emulate the experience in book form. Six months later they turned in The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. While the Choose Your Own Adventure series popularized the basic game-book form this title was innovative in its use of a dice-rolling element and a combat system with skill luck and stamina points. Octavo. Illustrations in the text throughout. Original illustrated wrappers. Wrappers rubbed and creased at extremities a little toning to pulp paper stock as expected erased pencil annotations to "aventure sheet" leaves. A very good copy. unknown
