[Rarebooks] FS: SIGNED Samuel Beckett, one of only 12, with Additional Inscription: THE NORTH

[Charles Agvent]

BECKETT, Samuel. THE NORTH. London: Enitharmon Press, 1972. First 
Edition. Folio (11-3/4" x 15") in wraps, loosely housed as issued in a 
paper folder, cloth chemise, and slipcase. Text printed by Will and 
Sebastian Carter on paper made by J. Barcham Green. Of a total of 137 
numbered copies illustrated with 3 original etchings by Avigdor Arikha, 
each signed in pencil by the artist, this is copy #121 and is one of 
only 12 "Ad personam" copies. Rather than being signed on the colophon 
page as with the regular copies, this is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the 
author on the front of the folder: "for Herbert Myron/from his 
friend/Sam. Beckett/Paris May/1973." The text of THE NORTH comprises the 
penultimate paragraph of THE LOST ONES with minor variants from the full 
edition in English. Fine.

Herbert Myron, a professor of French at Boston University, was a friend 
who had a lengthy correspondence with Beckett. Myron introduced Beckett 
to Lawrence Harvey who wrote SAMUEL BECKETT: POET AND CRITIC, focusing 
on Beckett's least known writings. (#018362)        $2,500
