COMING IN JULY OF 2018
RARE & OUTSTANDING ANTIQUE BOOK COLLECTION

The highlights from the Murrell Lewis collection of rare and collectible books. Begun over sixty years ago, the Lewis collection was a sophisticated and ambitious collection, and Dr Lewis often secured books either in exceptional collector’s condition or books that were special or unique in some way. The books offered in this sale are almost all first editions, many are signed or inscribed, many are limited editions, and many are unique copies. The collection is especially strong in American and British literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but there are rare and collectible books here from many areas, including science, exploration, history, children’s literature, and others. Included are signed limited first editions from Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, and others; rare first books from Hemingway (an unopened copy of Ten Poems and Three Stories); Steinbeck (Cup of Gold in the original dust jacket); J D Salinger (a beautiful, nearly mint, Catcher in the Rye); as well as Eugene O’Neill, Robert Lowell, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and others. A small selection of original manuscript letters include ones written by poets Louis Zukofsky, Hart Crane, and Ezra Pound, as well as one written to Jack Kerouac by poet Philip Whalen. There are many fine copies of books (including some signed) listed in Blanck’s Peter Parley to Penrod. There are signed first editions by figures as various as Mickey Mantle, Albert Einstein, Saki (H H Munro), Ford Madox Ford, Robert Creeley, Thomas Wolfe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Samuel Becket, Djuna Barnes, and many, many others. A number of lots include manuscript materials or signed books from highly collectible mid-century American poet Weldon Kees. The number of notably unusual or interesting or beautiful books in this sale is truly astonishing: many lots include something unique or rare or both.
 
Besides the catalogued lots, hundreds of other books will be sold in box lots or individually before the catalogued sale. These include modern first editions, some signed books, many books on art and collectibles (especially glass and glassware), and various general books of various sorts.
 
Details will be posted soon.
