CONNELL, Evan S. ARCHIVE OF A TYPED MANUSCRIPT SIGNED (TMS), 8 TYPED 
LETTERS SIGNED (TLSs), and other material. Sausalito, CA, 1986 - 1988. 
The eight-page TYPED MANUSCRIPT, titled "Pre-Columbian Apprentice" and 
SIGNED by Connell at the top of the first page, recounts his purchase of 
a 500 year-old Mayan ceramic figure and how that led him to collect 
pre-Columbian art and inspired him to write a novel about such a 
collector, THE CONNOISSEUR. The 8 TYPED LETTERS SIGNED are to the 
Executive Editor of ARTS & ANTIQUES Magazine, Jeffrey Schaire, and are 
all connected to the article in one way or another, from gaining 
interest in writing it to making suggestions on it before publication. 
There is also ancillary material including a letter from Connell to a 
friend about his old teachers, the death of Frank Waters, and the 
galleys of his collected stories; a press release for one of Connell's 
books SIGNED by him; a letter from Connell's agent; a letter from a 
gallery owner; and various news clippings and photocopied articles. 
Condition varies a bit, but mostly Near Fine to Fine. (#020166)        
$1,500
