[Rarebooks] FS: John Reed's THE DAY IN BOHEMIA , 1913, with extras

[Charles Agvent]

REED, John. THE DAY IN BOHEMIA OR LIFE AMONG THE ARTISTS BEING A JEU 
D'ESPRIT CONTAINING MUCH THAT IS ORIGINAL AND DIVERTING. IN WHICH THE 
READER WILL FIND THE COGNOMENS AND QUALITIES OF MANY PERSONS DESTINED 
ONE DAY TO ADORN THE ANNALS OF NATIONS, IN LETTERS, MUSIC, PAINTING, THE 
PLASTIC ARTS, AND EVEN BUSINESS; TOGETHER WITH THEIR FOIBLES, 
WEAKNESSES, AND SHORTCOMINGS. AND SOME ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE LED BY 
GENIUSES IN MANHATTAN'S QUARTIER LATIN. New York: Printed for the 
Author, 1913. First Edition. Stiff printed brown wraps (6-1/2" x 
9-5/8"). Issued in an edition of 500 copies. Though there is no 
indication of such in the book itself, this volume was in the possession 
of Louise Bryant, Reed's wife. Laid in is an interesting piece: a 6" x 
7-1/4" reproduction of an unidentified figure on which is written on the 
verso in an unidentified hand: "In the world is a big place which is 
called Russia, and there is a little place, my heart, which is full of 
gratefulness and love for a little American doll Louise Bryant. And when 
Louise thinks of Russia I beg her to think of me ever yours." Following 
that is a name, partly obliterated, dated Moscow, April 1921. Slight 
soiling to the covers; the bottom of the spine lacking about two inches 
of paper. Very Good.

Perhaps the best known left-wing American journalist of the twentieth 
century; Reed was portrayed by Warren Beatty in the film REDS, nominated 
for twelve Academy Awards and winner of three, which centered on Reed's 
life, notably his romance with Louise Bryant, played by Diane Keaton, 
and his early death at 33 in Moscow. Reed's best known book, TEN DAYS 
THAT SHOOK THE WORLD, is Reed's firsthand account of the October 
Revolution in Russia in 1917. (#017504)        $600
