Dated "11/21/49" and inscribed in black ink on half title page: "Bill Bird - an "old hand" at all this. / Best / Bill". Inscription appears to be in the hand of William Carlos Williams, signing here as "Bill". Instances of Williams singing as "Bill" are extremely scarce, and was typically reserved for the signing of letters, very rarely used in book inscriptions. Williams had published one of his novels - The Great American Novel - through Bird's Three Mountains Press in 1923. This inscription's date nearly 30 years later, combined with Williams signing under the nickname "Bill", evidences a long and familiar relationship between the two men. Housed in a card-backed archival sleeve. SH Consignment. Shelved in Room A. . Bill Bird was an American publisher best known for running the Three Mountains Press, a small press that published many prominent modernists in the 1920s including Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, William Carlos Williams and Robert McAlmon, with Ezra Pound serving as editor. Over a period of two and a half years he published 9 works. Concurrently he founded Consolidated Press Service and worked there as a journalist from 1920-1933, when he joined the New York Sun as chief foreign correspondent. Forced to flee France after the Nazi invasion, he wrote articles warning of war. After WWII he moved to Tangier and was the editor of the Tangier Gazette. . 1403705. Special Collections.
