First Edition Signed
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 120 pages. Published in 1980. Rare Truman Capote, Edmund White, and Robert Mapplethorpe collectible item. A near-fine copy of the After Dark Magazine September 1980 Landmark Issue, signed by Edmund White. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Edmund White's "Truman Capote: Sweating Mirrors". Marks the very first - and only - appearance of the Essay in published form. As such, it is the precursor to Edmund White's full-fledged Essay on Truman Capote, published in 2011 as part of "Sacred Monsters", forty-one years later. The immediate subject at hand is the publication of Capote's "Music For Chameleons", which belied, albeit temporarily, the author's "writer's block" as a result of the ostracism he endured from the "Answered Prayers/La Cote Basque" scandal. As "Music For Chameleons" abundanty established, Capote continued to write, often very well, although he never finished "Answered Prayers". White's Essay-Profile is elegantly poised: Respectful, admiring, and almost deferential yet never obsequious to the (difficult and erratic) Capote, the older, great gay writer to White's considerably younger self. There is a magnificent and memorable portrait-photograph of the two writers seated - tellingly, a bit apart from each other - in Capote's luxurious UN Plaza living room apartment, by the young Robert Mapplethorpe. The portrait has not re-appeared in any other published form. An absolute "must-have" title for Truman Capote, Edmund White, and Robert Mapplethorpe collectors. This copy of After Dark Magazine is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on his Contribution by Edmund White. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This Magazine Issue is now highly collectible. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the Issue available online and is in fine condition overall. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1994 for "Genet: A Biography". Anointed by Vladimir Nabokov as his American successor. One of the finest writers of our time. A near-fine copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 498 pages. Published in 1997. Massive Oral Biography on subject. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. Presents George Plimpton's "Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, And Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career". Engrossing and almost definitive as such. "Nobody can match George Plimpton as an adroit weaver of interviews into a tight narrative fabric. His book doesn't knock the biography, 'Capote', off the shelf, but it's so much more fun to read. Brimming with important literary history" (Tim Appelo). Another legendary writer explained to Plimpton why Capote was the Real Thing and F. Scott Fitzgerald's successor, despite the unavoidable distractions of celebrity and reality: "The scene stirring with rightness and strangeness, the compressed phrase, the exact yet imaginative word, the devastating metaphorical aptness, a feeling of concentrated excess which at the same time gives the effect of being crystalline" (James Dickey). About Plimpton: By the time he died in 2003, George Plimpton himself became one of the iconic American figures of our time. Prolific writer, Founder of The Paris Review, actor, ornithologist, athlete, and one of the closest friends of Robert F. Kennedy, he famously wrestled and pinned Sirhan Sirhan to the ground after the latter assassinated Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The basis of not one but two film classics, "Capote" (2005) by Bennett Miller, with Philip Seymour Hoffman in his Academy Award-winning performance, and "Infamous" (2006) by Douglas MacGrath, with Toby Jones, in an equalling enthralling performance. An absolute "must-have" title for Truman Capote and George Plimpton collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by George Plimpton. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the best American writers of our time on one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER TRUMAN CAPOTE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0385232497.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 1 pages. Published in 1966. Rare Truman Capote collectible piece. A fine copy of the original, actual advertisement, NOT a contemporary digital copy print, of the author appearing on behalf of U. S. News And World Report, signed by Truman Capote. The advertisement is "blow-up" oversize, at 10 X 14 inches. Features the author in a closeup portrait-photograph: A pensive-looking Truman Capote, post-"In Cold Blood" triumph, at the height of his global renown. There is very minimal text printed at the bottom. As such, it is designed for and is eminently suitable for framing. Printed on archival stock paper in the United States. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect: It has lost almost none of its sepia-toned clarity and warmth when it first appeared. Without DJ, as issued. Presents "Truman Capote: U. S. New And World Report Advertisement". Marks the very first appearance of Truman Capote on behalf of the legendary publication. The text underneath Capote's vast portrait simply states: "We spare our readers unimportant news. We spare our advertisers unimportant readers". Meaning, the publication and Capote matter as serious subjects. Furthermore, that Truman Capote is an important reader himself, worth reaching by advertisers. For all of his private and public troubles, Truman Capote mattered throughout his literary and public life - and posthumously, too. ALL of his books, not just "In Cold Blood", are in innumerable subsequent printings, and have remained in print uninterruptedly. This is surely and mainly because "In Cold Blood" is the most important and influential book of its kind ever written in the 20th century. Capote himself called it the "first nonfiction novel". Norman Mailer, on the one hand, and Joan Didion, on the other, emulated its ground-breaking techniques to write their own masterpieces. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, piece for Truman Capote collectors. This copy of the U. S. News And World Report Advertisement is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue fountain pen on recto (underneath his portrait) by Truman Capote. It is signed directly on the advertisement itself, not on a tipped-in page or bookplate. This piece is highly collectible. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of it available online and is in remarkably well-preserved condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Keep in mind that this is ephemera, most copies of which have vanished. It is the only signed copy we have ever found or will ever find. A rare, one-of-a-kind signed copy thus. Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" is regarded by Harold Bloom as the author's canonical masterpiece. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy.

A near-fine copy sturdily bound in textured heavy dark green boards with gold lettering on the front boards and on the spine. In a near-fine dust jacket with the original price of $19.95" at the top of the front flap. This copy has been inscribed and signed in ink: "To Debbie Purcell with love and affection. Marie Rudisill (underscored)." Marie Rudisill grew up with Truman Capote in the midst of the Faulk family in Monroeville, Alabama. Marie was Sook's niece and Truman Capote's aunt. Upon Sook's death, Marie collected over 200 family recipes and published them in this volume. Marie went on to fame and fortune after writing Fruitcake: Memories of Truman Capote & Sook and appearing as "The Fruitcake Lady" on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show. Rudisill was born Edna Marie Faulk in Monroeville, Alabama. Her first marriage, to a Japanese man in the 1930s, ended in divorce due to her family's disapproval. She later wrote, "I really loved that man. He was so talented and such a sweet wonderful person. And I would have been happier with him than I was with the man I married after that." She married James Rudisill in 1939. She wrote, "A man who drinks excessively, it's not a happy marriage. We loved each other, but we had our times." The couple had one son, James, and Rudisill had three grandchildren. Rudisill authored eight books, including Fruitcake: Memories of Truman Capote & Sook. The publication of her Fruitcake book led to her being invited to be a guest on The Tonight Show on December 14, 2000. During her first visit she showed Jay Leno and Mel Gibson how to make fruitcakes. This led to her being named The Fruitcake Lady and to several more appearances on The Tonight Show, in which she instructed host Jay Leno and other guests in the preparation of various baked desserts. In 2002, the "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" segments became a regular part of The Tonight Show. In these segments, viewers posed prerecorded questions to Rudisill (including questions of a graphic sexual nature), and her frank and often unpredictable responses were shown. She often lost patience with what she perceived as stupidity on the part of some questioners, and lapsed into profanity. Marie Rudisill died in Hudson, Florida, on November 3, 2006, at the age of 95, just before the publication date of her last book, Ask the Fruitcake Lady: Everything You Would Already Know If You Had Any Sense, on November 7. The November 8 broadcast of the Tonight Show included a tribute composed of highlights from her segments on the show, including one in which she cooked with (and was hugged and kissed on the cheek by) Tom Cruise.

First Edition Signed
Soft Cover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Volume XIX; No. 109; January 1949. Flat signed by Truman Capote at front: "Truman Capote". Very attractive. Contains the 19-page early story, and first publication of, "Master Misery" by Truman Capote. "Master Misery" was Truman s favorite short story and he believed it was under-appreciated. A strange story where what is real and what is imagined is difficult to distinguish. Sylvia finds the work-a-day 9-5 world meaningless in its tedium, and she suffers a breakdown. A haunting beautifully written piece, there are elements of Breakfast at Tiffany s here with a young girl in New York, navigating the big city and life in it. New York has its own energy source for Truman, its own poetry, and here he taps into it. Engrossing and with great characters, Sylvia, the ingenue, is living with her sister and her sister s husband. She ends up meeting a man who "buys dreams". Literally, you tell him a dream you had, and he will pay you. Also included are: "Epilogue On My Host The World" by George Santayana; "British Philosophy Between the Wars" by H.H. Price; HP Hoden on "Expressionism" with reproductions of expressionist art with six pages of coated plates by Ernst Josephson, Edvard Munch, and Oskar Kokoschka. Moderate wear, chip to cover corner.
