Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Uncorrected Proof. "The First Full Authoritative Edition", in its limited Uncorrected Proof state - not quite the same as, but often referred to as an Advance Reading Copy, or ARC - fast becoming an attractive "collectible", as it precedes the First Edition. This trade paperback appears to have the same size page-block as the subsequent hardcover First Edition. The novel "portrays in pointillist detail the complexities of sexual and romantic feeling that bedevil an eccentric cast of characters, and explores the psychological idiosyncracies [which] fuel their hopes and dreams, fantasies and failures." It central character is "a historical novelist widowed after a yearlong unconsummated marriage to a woman who continues to haunt him." 484 pages. CONDITION: a bright, tight, square, unmarked, uncreased copy with minimal shelf-wear, compromised only by a narrow crimp at the spine top, a touch of spine-sunning, and a couple minute scuffs on the front cover (see accompanying scan image). This handsome, collectible copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. In this book, "The Meaning of Culture", John Cowper Powys brought his considerable intellect to bear on some of society's everlasting problems. The result is a book that should stir the reader to reflect on many things, not least of which is the question of what it means to be human. Here is an excerpt from the write-up on the rear cover: "Culture for Powys, as for all creative artists, has at its heart 'The child's power of being born afresh every day; the child's passionate absorption in the miracle of the moment; and the child's impulse to thrust upon you, and sometimes though not always! to bestow upon you its most cherished discovery.' How we need Powys' vision of a rooted growth downward and outward! This wide-ranging, gentle and fierce polemic belongs with contemporary 'counter-culture' manifestos It is of the breed of spirit that is possessed by the passion to cry 'Awake! Follow me, for I am possessed by Awareness.' Perhaps the most heartening aspect of this book is its entrenched optimism in the face of economic anxieties (and Powys knew them well) and the mass destructive powers of possessiveness, cold rationality and the mass hypnosis of a consumer society." ********************************************** TITLE : The Meaning of Culture / AUTHOR : John Cowper Powys (1872 - 1963) / IMPRINT : Village Press / PLACE : London / DATE : (1974) / EDITION : Reprint First Village Press Printing. / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade paperback; 275 pages; 4 3/4" x 7 1/4"; photo-pictorial wraps, glued. ***************************************** CONDITION - NEAR FINE - A previously owned book which remains bright and clean with negligible wear.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. There were two volumes of John Cowper Powys' Letters to his Brother Llewelyn" This is "The Letters of John Cowper Powys to his Brother Llewelyn, Volume 1 - 1902 - 1925". It is the first Edition, published in 1975 in paperback format, by Village Press in London. The letters were selected and edited by Malcolm Elwin. ***************************************** From the cover write-up : "With his younger brother Llewelyn, to whom he had been an impressive protective figure since childhood, he spoke almost without reserve, although the tow brothers were fundamentally so different, one from the other, as brothers can be. John's imaginative ability to put himself in another's place, together with his acute awareness of human suffering, made it impossible for him to wound. Llewelyn's vivid, spontaneous and sensual response to life was sometimes not so sensitive to the feelings of others.Had their understanding not been so deeply rooted he might have wounded John by his outspoken criticism of his brother's undisciplined and torrential writing power. But in literary criticism he did not surpass John, who could and did point out flaws in Llewelyn's own work. The Mutual criticism was only one aspect of the constant exchange, when they were apart, of their thoughts and feelings in an unending flow of letters. . Elwin has written of John Cowper Powys: ". and surely the combinations of goodness and genius makes the man who is great among his fellows." In Malcolm Elwin, whose own death took place not long after finishing his work on these LETTERS, John Cowper Powys has found a perceptive and understanding critic of great literary skill, worthy of genius." ********************************************** TITLE : Letters of John Cowper Powys to his Brother, Llewelyn, Volume 1, 1902 - 1925 / AUTHOR : John Cowper Powys (1872 - 1963) / EDITOR : Malcolm Elwin / IMPRINT : Village Press / PLACE : London / DATE : 1975 / EDITION : First Edition / STATUS : OP / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Thick Trade Paperback; contains the editor's note, and his Introduction; contains two groups of halftone photographs, discretely arranged; 367 pages; 5 1/4' x 8 1/4" x 1 1/4"; printed stiff card stock, printed white on orange. ********************************************* CONDITION - VERY GOOD - This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following particulars noted : EXTERNAL -- The spine is totally faded; there is a shallow crease running the length of the spine; cover edges display minute nicks and chipping, soft bumps to corner tips - else the whole is clean and presentable. / BINDING -- Solid still fairly tight.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "In Defence of Sensuality", by John Cowper Powys. It is a paperback reprint of the original 1930 edition issued in 1974 by Village Press, being the First Printing of the Village Press edition. There is a 1930 statement on the rear cover by John Cowper Powys , to wit: "The purpose of this book is to make war upon certain egregious elements in our modern life, and upon certain gregariously human traditions among us, such as seem to me to be slowly assassinating all calm ecstatic happiness, the only kind of happiness that really is worthy of organisms with the long history and the large hopes of ours. How far has the individual the right to be what is called selfish ? How far has he the right to concentrate on his own solitary awareness of existence and make this alone his life-purpose? Is there such a thing at all as a Religion of Nature or a Cosmic Ethic? Such are the questions the author attempts to answer; and he finds that in his discussion of the root-sensations of life the word Sensuality, taken in an unusually comprehensive sense, serves his purpose better than any other word." ********************************** TITLE : In Defence of Sensuality / AUTHOR : John Cowper Powys (1872 - 1963) / IMPRINT : Village Press / PLACE : London / DATE : (1974) [ In 1974 the Copyright was renewed by Francis Powys. ] / EDITION : Reprint - First Village Press Printing / STATUS : This edition OP / DETAILS : Trade paperback; contains the author's foreword; 287 pages; 4 3/4" x 7 1/4"; photo-pictorial, stiff wraps, glued ************************************** CONDITION -- VERY GOOD PLUS -- This is a previously owned book that remains clean and attractive with near-negligible signs of handling, with the following particulars noted ::: EXTERIOR -- Rear cover has a touch of rub and light scuffing - else clean and presentable. / BINDING -- Tight/ / INTERIOR -- Clean and free of marking.
