1946560415Napoli / Roma: Gaspare Casella Editore / De Luigi Editore 1946. Softcover. Very Good. Nos. 1-18 in 15 issues i.e. three double issues. Slim octavos. Text in Italian. Printed wrappers paper still supple. Owner's signature of author and critic Michele Cantarella a leading anti-fascist Italian expatriate on the cover of one issue and three issues with a bit of pencilled marginal bracketing by him. Modest toning wear and soil a few tiny tears at the spine ends the first five issues with the pages somewhat toned and occasional very light foxing mostly confined to the first and last leaves a nice very good or better run of this somewhat delicate Italian literary magazine that featured two publishers and three editors during this time period. Of particular note is the inclusion of "Angoscia" "Anguish" later known as "Anguish in the Barracks" in issue 16 a very early possibly the earliest published story by Italo Calvino predating his first book by two years. The final issue prints a "Referendum" of four questions for poets about their work and claim that they have already received responses from Eugenio Montale Cesare Pavesi Corrado Alvaro and others and will begin publishing their responses in the next issue but the magazine ceased publication with No. 17/18. A well-preserved set of a cheaply wartime- printed magazine. Gaspare Casella Editore / De Luigi Editore unknown

19107403Cleveland Ohio: Privately printed 1910. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good-. Quarto 147pp. rectos only illustrated. About very good in the publisher's full dark brown/black morocco with gilt borders dentelles silk doublures and endpapers and floral decoration to spine compartments. General rubbing to extremities with the leather a bit dried out. Contents clean and bright. Gently offset on the front board with a few old droplet stains. The limitation page states: "A few copies of this volume prepared for the family have been printed for private presentation to friends whom she held dear." This copy was presented to Mrs. Seville H. Morse with her name written on the blank line below the statement possibly her signature; more likely so issued by the publisher. The binding is not signed; by appearances this was all done in-house by the publisher - a testament to the resources and abilities of printers and publishers even in a second-tier American city at the turn of the century. A Cleveland rarity; we found no copies of this handsomely bound and highly limited edition nor any of the trade edition in commerce. Flora Stone Mather wife of Samuel Cleveland's richest man for several decades was a major philanthropist in the Cleveland area. The Flora Stone Mather College for Women at Case Western was named for her as is the Flora Stone Mather Center for Women. Privately printed hardcover
