[Charles Agvent]

Our new catalogue, which will be posted on our website later this month, 
will feature 20th Century Literary First Editons, most signed, and will 
include some private press books as well as author collections, 
including but not limited to T. S. Stribling, A. E. Coppard, T. F. 
Powys, Norman Douglas, and others.

Some of the Striblings are in dustwrappers and all are inscribed.  Here 
is one:

STRIBLING, T. S.    RED SAND.  New York: Harcourt Brace & Co.  (1924).
First  Edition.  This copy INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author  on  the
front  endpaper:  "This  book  is one of the/results  of  a  junket/to
Venezuela.    Fombombo/is  another  and   Strange/Moon,  a   third./TS
Stribling/Marranna  Fla/Dec 17 1940."  A sharp copy of  this  romantic
tale  of Venezualan peon who rises to the highest circles through  his
skill  in  bull-fighting.  Stribling sold more books than  any  author
between  the two world wars, and that includes Hemingway and Faulkner.
The  attractive  dustwrapper, with a red bull's head on a  yellow  and
white  background and signed "W R," has a few short, closed edge tears
with  no  significant  loss  and  a sunned spine,  the  red  and  blue
lettering  still  clear.  Fine  in   striking,  Very  Good  or  better
price-clipped dustwrapper.                                     $850.00
