Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (Scribner's Sons-: 'A--8.66' on the copyright page). This was Ann Quin's second novel and first novel published in the United States. The Scribner's Sons first edition is quite rare. I've only seen one other for sale. You can see the covers in the photos. There is some soili…ng, most on the front. The spine ends have some crinkling. The middle edge of the front cover has two small spots of rub-through. The four corners each have a tiny spots of superficial rubbing. The page edges each have a cover spots of light soiling. The book is very solidly bound cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. There is a light bit of amber toning on the blank front end paper. The pages are quite clean. A tiny tan spot on the middle page edge just peeks over the edge of four consecutive pages. One page has a fairly small spot near to the bottom edge, not touching the print. I didn't notice any other soiling. There is a very light crease the bottom corners of some early pages. There aren't any sharp creases, no placeholder creases. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. From the Paris Review: 'Three is the second of the four brilliant and enigma-ridden novels that Ann Quin published before drowning off the coast of Brighton in 1973 at the age of thirty-seven. The mysterious character S--the absent protagonist or antiheroine hypotenuse of this love-triangle tale--dies in similar fashion, or perhaps she's stabbed to death by a gang of nameless, faceless men before her body washes up onshore, or perhaps the stabbed dead body that washes up onshore is someone else. It's difficult to tell. And the telling is difficult, too. And I would submit that it's precisely these difficulties that make this gory story normal.' From a source on the Internet: 'Three opens with the death of a young woman, identified only as S, possibly a suicide. Following her death, Ruth and Leonard-- a middle-aged British couple whose marriage has devolved into pithy and bitter conversations-- review the time S spent at their summer house. In a lyrical prose style likened to that of such diverse writers as Virginia Woolf and William Burroughs, Ann Quin presents the enigmatic intricacies of the relationship between these three people by blending the conversations and flashbacks of Ruth and Leonard with the diary, audiotapes and movies S left behind. A combination of laconic dialogue and poetic impressions, Three is an incisive exploration of the emotional and sexual undercurrents of British middle-class life.'.

While living in Britain near a great arsenal, Enid Guest developed a hatred of war and channeled this energy into producing DRAGON'S TEETH. Because of its pacifist themes, no one there wanted to produce it. After moving to Honolulu, Guest's play was finally produced by the Pasadena Community Playhouse in Pasadena, California. Guest's first professionally produced play was THAT WHICH COUNTS (1925) and she is the author of the novel DARK HERITAGE (1931). Dorothy Brown lived in Glendora, California and was co-founder of the Friends of the Glendora Library. Redington Sharpe (illustrator). Inscribed by Author(s).
