All pages are in very fine unmarked condition and the spine/binding is in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). Book of the Month Club Edition. "In a new and definitive translation by Francis Steegmuller." - from the jacket front. "One hundred years ago Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert, was first published. It is, therefore, particularly fitting that the new translation by Francis Steegmuller should be published as a part of the centenary celebration. Perhaps no book in the history of the novel has been more enjoyed and praised by critics, fellow craftsmen and general readers of all sorts than this tale of a provinical woman who could not bear the discrepancy between her romantic dreams and the dull routine of her daily life. There is a special poignancy for most of us in the story of Emma Bovary, whose attempt to impose upon her humdrum life the substance of those dreams brought about her own dissolution. Francis Steegmuller is uniquely qualified to translate Flaubert's inimitable prose, the quality of which is almost as inaccessible to translation as is most poetry. Mr. Steegmuller's Flaubert and Dadame Bovary is a contemporary classic, his selection and translation of Flaubert's letters outstanding, and his critical interpretation of Flaubert among the most acute. He is eminently fitted to provide the centenary translation of Madame Bovary." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (typography/binding/dj design) Guy Fleming (illustrator). 2nd printing. [light shelfwear only to book; the jacket is a little bit scuffed at the edges of the front panel, and has a small tear at the top rear flap-fold]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "To Dick Goldstone / Virgil T. warmly / 27 May 1970." Memoir by the noted American composer, "who was also a performer, a theater man, and a music critic." The inscription, to film producer Richard Goldstone, documents Thomson's tenuous connection with the 1970 feature film THE BABY MAKER, which was produced by Goldstone. I say "tenuous" for this reason: although the film is listed among Thomson's relatively few film credits on his Wikipedia page (of which only one other was for a Hollywood feature, 1958's THE GODDESS), the musical score for THE BABY MAKER is actually credited to Fred Karlin. According to a Los Angeles Times article (May 28, 1970), Thomson was engaged in providing "musical supervision" for the film, at the request of his friend James Bridges (its director), although it's also stated that "he won't do any composing" for it. (I've so far been unable to uncover a source confirming that Thomson was given any kind of credit on the film itself.) Signed by Author.

Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Dwiggins, W. A. - Typography and Binding Design (illustrator). First Edition Stated. 408 Pages plus a six page comprehensive Index. No defects noted. Here is the full-length portrait of New Mexico that Erna Fergusson, of all native New Mexican writers, was destined to give us. It is a living book about living realities, and in it history is employed only to make clear how the facts of today came to be what they are. This book about one of the most varied and fascinating of the forty-eight states is divided into three sections: "Indian," "Spanish," and "Gringo." In each section the conditions and appearances of the present day are made vivid as they are derived from the past. From primitive Indians to Spanish grandees, cattle rustlers, and atomic scientists at Los Alamos, Erna Fergusson's emphasis is on people, but Jew Mexico's magnificent landscape is nowhere neglected. The result is a brightly colored pageant of three peoples which is both affectionate and accurate. From Albuquerque to Zuni, from Alamogordo and Carlsbad to Santa Fe and Taos, here is New Mexico in an absorbing, enlightening, and satisfying book. Illustrated with 26 photographs and two maps. Erna Fergusson was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1888. Her maternal grandfather had reached Santa Fe by wagon train in 1848; her father, from Alabama by way of Virginia, had gone west in stagecoach days. She herself was graduated from the University of New Mexico, after which she took a master's degree at Columbia University. During the First World War, as representative of the Red Cross, she came to know every county and almost every town of her state by intimate experience. Later she started a tourist bureau there, and became known as the first woman dude wrangler.

Condition: Very Good Plus or better, with slight sunning to spine, edges a bit dusty and mildly toned. Author Rev. Michael Earls (1875-1937) was a Massachusetts-born Jesuit priest who earned a literary masters degree from Georgetown University before entering the seminary. He wrote poetry, novels, short stories and a play in addition to teaching English at Holy Cross University in Worcester, who have his archival material. Not surprisingly, the novel is a somewhat heavily-messaged Catholic reflection on marriage and duty, but not without a good bit of drama and suspense. A young woman, Elenora Gomez, has been raising her younger siblings after the death of her parents, and she has been training to entering a convent. However, true love seems set to intervene in the person of Oliver Plunket, from Manchester by the Sea. He is set to begin teaching at the fictional Glendalough College, and upon reading this, Nora jumps onto a train heading into Boston to meet up with destiny. **Decorative Designers, the company responsible for the book's illustrated binding, is noted by the monogram of two Ds, one reversed and intersecting, which appears on the cover. Founded by former architect, Henry Thayer, they were considered an important American book design firm, and employed a large number of freelance artists, until the company's closure in 1931.
