Condition: Very Good. THIS COLLECTION WEIGHS HALF A TON (UK). PLEASE TALK TO US DIRECT TO DISCUSS IT & ITS TRANSPORT BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER. See the "Contact Seller" link below. IT IS OFFERED AS A WHOLE AT MAX REINHARDT'S REQUEST AND BECAUSE OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF BUILDING SO COMPLETE A COLLECTION, WITH THE SPECIAL PROVENANCE OF BEING THAT OF ITS LAST PUBLISHER. ALSO AS IT CONTAINS THE DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF FRANCIS MEYNELL'S AND MAX'S DETERMINATION TO PRODUCE BOOKS AT A FINE LEVEL OF THE BOOKMAKER'S ART, AT LOWER COST, YET HIGHER QUALITY OF MATERIALS, TYPOGRAPHY & LEGIBILITY FOR READERS HOLDING THE BOOKS IN THE HAND. A DELIGHT OF 20TH CENTURY BOOKMAKING. PROCEEDS FROM THIS SALE WILL BENEFIT MAXLITERACY, WHICH INSPIRES CREATIJVE WRITING IN YOUNG PEOPLE, SET UP IN MEMORY OF MAX AND HIS AUTHORS. NB. As large collections of Nonesuch are so scarce we have used the Author and Title fields in cryptic form as they have character limits. By cutting duplicated words in names and titles, searches for single books can find this collection, assisting awareness. Eg. instead of "William Beckford, William Blake, William Harvey," we enter "William Beckford Blake Harvey". A complete list of authors and titles is in the photos. The condition of the books is very good (with many fine, only a few poor). NONESUCH PRESS COLLECTION. In 1923 Nonesuch was founded by Francis Meynell - its 1st publisher/designer. In 1952 he invited Max Reinhardt to be managing director and publisher. After Meynell's death in 1975, Max continued that role till 1986 when he bought the Press, publishing till 1990 - its last owner/publisher. Already owner of The Bodley Head that he revolutionised, he was an able successor of Meynell's desire to produce fine, readable, books at more affordable prices than most private presses. So, this is the personal collection of Max Reinhardt, begun many years before he joined the Press. By his own death in 2002, it held all titles published for sale in the UK from 1923-1990, the most complete assembled, I believe, with the special provenance possible for the Press's final publisher. Using the catalogue in John Dreyfus's History of the Nonesuch Press, I count 182 books and 26 Prospectuses. We can supply a list identifying all items according to Dreyfus. The scarcest is the Coronation Shakespeare of 1953 (no 119, Dreyfus). A remarkable edition of Shakespeare both for best scholarship and production. It was in an issue of only 4 copies bound in limp vellum - one was presented to the Queen; one for Francis, whereabouts unknown; two for Max, one of which is here and one elsewhere. Only one copy of this very limited issue could have previously appeared for sale. It does not seem to have. The unlimited trade edition is present here too. The most magisterial is the controversial 1937 Nonesuch Dickens (no 108, Dreyfus), nonetheless considered the finest of Dickens Works produced. With the books are 50 linear cms of at times spirited letters between Reinhardt, Meynell & trade members from 1952-1975 and with Alix, Francis's wife, to 1990 discussing all matters to do with their craft, promotion, production, distribution, sales & legal. The body language of aesthetic choice. Given the international reputation of the Press, it forms an unusually extended and detailed picture of quality book production and publishing in the 2nd half of the 20thC - for this press particularly, as all its earlier records were destroyed at the start of WW2. There are near 700 signed items from Meynell, many more from Reinhardt in copy, many from Brooke Crutchley of Cambridge UP; Vivian Ridler from OUP; some to and from Geoffrey Keynes; Stephen Potter, etc. And with Alix Meynell, Francis's wife. There is biographical material on Francis & his publishing life including Pelican Press which he ran with Stanley Morrison; several of his own books and articles; FM's annotated typescript of his autobiography, My Lives, addressed to Max, who published it.

No legatura. Condition: Ottimo. Depot de la Marine, 1770 circa. Incisione in rame all'acquaforte realizzata su due lastre di rame per l'atlante marino di Pieter Mortier del 1693, incisa da Henry Van Loon e qui pubblicata intorno al 1770 da Jacques - Nicolas Bellin per il "Dépôt des Cartes et Plans de la Marine", come testimoniato dal marchio dell'ancora decorato da tre gigli e dal prezzo di Trente Sols ("questa mappa era disponibile alla fine del XVIII secolo per "Trente Sols"), cm 61,5 x 86,5 (alla lastra) più margini. Bella carta nautica dell'intero Mare del Nord, del Mare di Danimarca e delle coste adiacenti, comprende le isole Schetland e le Orcadi. La carta è orientata con il nord a sinistra e dispone di due belle e insolite rose dei venti, una delle quali incorpora il simbolo del sole di Luigi XIV. La topografia è limitata ai luoghi lungo la costa e mostra i fondali e le secche (barene punteggiate) nel mare, nonché le varie insenature di marea. Nell'entroterra, i confini politici tra i diversi paesi e regioni sono indicati da punti. Belli i dettagli delle distese fangose della Frisia settentrionale, orientale e occidentale; delle sabbie della Manica e della foce del Tamigi. Le linee della bussola corrono su tutta la mappa. Le scale in miglia tedesche, inglesi e francesi sono spiegate nel bordo in basso. Minimi difetti marginali, su carta forte, in ottimo stato di conservazione. .
