Contact seller5-star sellerNew York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1925. Large 8vo. 351 pp., photogravure portraits. Printed on Borzoi all rag paper, limited to 500 copies. Original decorated boards, cloth spine, paper spine label, sans slipcase. Spine toned, small red mark to lower front joint, portions of boards sunned; overall, a very good copy. From the collection… of Susan Brynteson. Inscribed Copy of the Borzoi 1925 from Blanche Knopf to Hollywood Film Producer Walter Wanger First edition, limited to 500 copies. An exceptional presentation copy of The Borzoi 1925, inscribed on the half-title: "For Walter Wanger with my love [and] my respect. Blanche Knopf [indistinct word] Borzoi". Blanche Knopf, co-founder of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., was one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century American publishing, instrumental in building Knopf's transatlantic list and bringing modern European and Latin American authors to U.S. readers. Her inscription to Walter Wanger, then newly successful with The Sheik starring Rudolph Valentino and soon to become one of Hollywood's leading producers, underscores the intersection of American publishing and cinema in the interwar years. The Borzoi 1925 is both a commemorative volume and a literary anthology. It includes original essays and appreciations by leading critics and novelists such as Willa Cather, Gertrude Stein, D. H. Lawrence, and H. L. Mencken. Part Two features a "Who's Who" of writers associated with Knopf, while Part Three offers a bibliography of all Borzoi books issued to June 30, 1925. Illustrated with portraits of authors and editors, the book is both a record of Knopf's first decade and a self-conscious statement of literary ambition.
