Wrappers. 5.875 x 9 inches. Wrappers. 96 pages. Catalogue for an exihibit at the Grolier Club, November 8, 2018 - January 5, 2019. Bibliophile, book dealer, calligrapher, serial club founder, gourmet and dandy, A. J. A. Symons is now best remembered as the author of The Quest For Corvo. All of his interests are captured in manuscripts, books, letters, membership lists, photos, catalogues, rule books, and ephemera from the collection of Simon Hewett. Symons achieved an extraordinary amount in his 41-year life. The exhibition explored the multifaceted activities of this now largely forgotten figure particularly through the clubs he formed and in which he participated. Symons co-founded The First Edition Club in 1922, a club for book collectors which he envisioned as the British counterpart to The Grolier Club of New York City. Through his membership in the London bibliophilic dining club, Sette of Odd Volumes, Symons met Andre Simon, the celebrated oenophile. Together in 1931 they founded the Saintsbury Club, a London dining club for wine-lovers. In 1933, they set up the Wine & Food Society (now the International Wine & Food Society). Designed and printed letterpress by Jerry Kelly on Hahnemuhle Bugra mold-made paper.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Rediscover the rich legacy of Richard Aldington (1892-1962), a notable British man of letters.  A prominent editor, poet, author of fiction, translator, biographer, and screenwriter who made an indelible contribution to the English literature of the early twentieth century, Richard Aldington deserves to be much better known than he is today. Best known these days for his novel Death of a Hero, which was based on his experience on the frontlines of World War I, he was a central figure in English literary and cultural life in the first half of the twentieth century, married to the poet Hilda Doolittle (H. D.) and friends with Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and others. This book accompanies a milestone exhibition at the Grolier Club, based on the largest Aldington collection in private hands, that is poised to restore his name to its rightful place. Richard Aldington contains a short biography, a bibliography of Aldington's publications, and a catalog of the exhibition.…
