Alberto Tumermani, Verona, Italy, 1728. Softcover. Good Condition. This is a very special old book with a lot of charm, and is a study on the Verona Amphitheater. It has several illustrations, many of which fold out. The foldouts are in very good condition. The pages are clean and a bit wavy, and the binding is loose. I'm not totally sure whether the cover is a type of paper, cloth, or animal skin (although my bet is a type of hard paper). There are some flakes and the corners are rounded, but it is in quite good condition for its age. The title is handwritten on the spine, and part of it is worn to the point that you can't quite make out a couple of letters. Page edges are uncut. There is an old signature (appears to be a quill signature) at the bottom of the title page that seems to be from an early owner. Size: 8mo - over 7 3/4" - 9 3/4" tall. 348 pp. Text is in Italian. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1 - 2 pounds. Category: Antiquarian & Rare;… Leer más

New York, Alfred A Knopf, 1933, hardcover, 256 pp, First Edition stated, First Printing, Association copy Signed and Inscribed by the Author on the front endpaper "To Kay Francis - all admiration - Max Ewing" and dated "New York, December 1932" Very Good condition, lacking dustjacket. Straight, tight and clean with no markings, slightly rolled and faded spine, nicks to top edge of front board and head of spine, two small holes and edge nicks to front endpaper, small split to paper at front hinge. The many accomplishments of this multi-talented pianist, composer, novelist, poet, sculptor, and photographer were overshadowed by his homosexuality and his unlikely friendship with the prize fighter Jack Pollock. Max's suicide in 1934, at the age of 31, adds drama and sadness to this remarkable man's mostly happy but short life during which Max mingled with dozens of artists, authors, composers, musicians, politicians, stage and movie stars, and wealthy families in Europe, New York, and Hollywood.
