About the Item

Remarque, Erich Maria. All Quiet on the Western Front. Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1929. First American Edition. Octavo. In the publisher's original gray buckram boards, titled in black and red, with top edge red. In the publisher’s original unclipped dust jacket. Presented with a new archival ¼ leather and cloth clamshell case. Presented is a first American edition of All Quiet on the Western Front by Weich Maria Remarque. A moving, semi-autobiographical tale of German soldiers in WWI, the book describes the significant physical and mental stresses of the war and its aftermath for returning soldiers. This first American edition was published in Boston by Little, Brown and Company, in 1929, in a print run of only 100,000 copies. The book is in the publisher’s original gray buckram boards, lettered in black and red, with the top edge stained red. It retains its original, unclipped dust jacket. All Quiet on the Western Front (“Im Westn Nichts Neues”) was first published in serial form in the German magazine Vossische Zeitung in November and December of 1928. It was published in book form in Germany in late January 1929. The book was translated to English by A. W. Ween and published in America in June of 1929. An international bestseller, All Quiet on the Western Front sold 2.5 million copies in 22 languages in its first 18 months in print. A contentious book, the novel was equally lauded by the press for its stark, realistic look at life in the trenches for young soldiers and also attacked for being too naively pacifist. This book became one of the first degenerate books to be publicly banned and burned in Nazi Germany. In 1930 the novel was adapted as a film, directed by Lewis Milestone, which won Academy Awards for best picture and best director. The book was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. Remarque wrote a sequel called The Road Back ("Der Weg zurück") focusing on the collapse of Germany in 1918, which was published in 1931. CONDITION: Very good condition. 8vo. In the publisher's original gray buckram cloth boards, lettered in black and red. Top edge is stained red. In the publisher's original dust jacket. Dust jacket is unclipped, with a horizontal scuff mark on the front panel, a few tiny nicks to head and corners. Interior pages are very clean and paper is healthy. The publisher's prospectus is laid in. Book is presented in a new archival ¼ leather and cloth clamshell case, with raised bands, gilt titles and gilt tooling to the spine, and a picture of the dust jacket illustration inlaid on the front. Book Dimensions: 7 7/8" H x 5 1/2" W x 1 3/8" D. Clamshell Dimensions: 9 " H x 6 3/4" W x 2 1/4" D. Accompanied by our company's letter of authenticity.

The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald, First Edition, 1922

Located in Colorado Springs, CO

Fitzgerald, F. Scott. The Beautiful and the Damned. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1922. First edition, first state. Rebound in ¼ leather and cloth boards, with raised bands, gilt titles, and tooling to the spine. Gilded edges. New archival cloth slipcase. Presented is a first edition, first state of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and the Damned. The book was published by Charles Scribner’s Sons in New York in 1922. It is presented here, rebound, in gorgeous blue ¼ leather and cloth boards, with raised bands, gilt titles, and gilt tooling to the spine, and a new archival slipcase. The Beautiful and the Damned was Fitzgerald’s second novel, following his debut This Side of Paradise. The book is an exploration of the nouveau riche, New York City nightlife in the 1920s, and the inner dynamics of two young and reckless newlyweds. Semi-autobigraphical, Fitzgerald modeled the characters of Anthony Patch and Gloria Gilbert on himself and his new spouse Zelda Fitzgerald and the story draws circumstantially upon the early years of Fitzgeralds' tempestuous marriage. Fitzgerald started writing The Beautiful and the Damned in August of 1920, while in Westport Connecticut. Having reflected upon the criticisms of his debut novel This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald sought to improve upon the form and construction of his prose in this second book. He relied heavily on editorial suggestions from his friend Edmund Wilson...
