Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Small Quarto (9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches; 245 x 165 mm), xvi, 367, [1] pages, in red buckram, top edge gilt, titles to spine in black and gilt, in an acetate dust jacket and black slipcase. SIGNED by Somerset Maugham on the limitation page in the front of the book, one of…1,000 signed and numbered copies (ours is number 342). A collection of short excerpts from the notebooks that Maugham kept during much of his life, with entries ranging from 1892 to 1944 and covering numerous countries. Maugham had a keen power of observation, writing vividly about the people he met and the places he visited. For instance, here's an entry from 1917, when he visited Russia during the revolution and met Alexander Kerensky: "He came into the room followed by his A.D.C. [aide de camp], with a quick step, and gave me a firm, hasty, mechanical handshake. He seemed fearfully on edge. Sitting down and talking incessantly, he took hold of a cigarette box and played with it restlessly, locking and unlocking it, opening and shutting it, turning it round and round. His speech was rapid and emphatic; and his nervousness made me nervous too. His conversation did not suggest a man of wide culture, hardly even a man of general education. His personality had no magnetism." (pages 186-187). CONDITION: The book is Fine, the acetate dust jacket has some nicks and tears, and the slipcase is scuffed, edge-worn, and has some flaking along the opening. A beautiful copy of the book, signed by the author. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good +. dj. 1st Edition. 1st Edition. Hardcover. [MacLennan, Hugh] Maugham, W. Somerset. A WRITER'S NOTEBOOK. London: Heinemann, 1949. A very good or better copy of the First Edition in the publisher's black cloth with silver décor and spine lettering lacking the dustwrapper. Inscribed by Dorothy Dunca…n MacLennan to Hugh MacLennan when both of them were laid-up - Dorothy at the Ross Pavilion of the Royal Victoria Hospital and Hugh at the Montreal Neurological Institute: "For Hugh - / in the Neuro - / From Dorothy - / in the Ross - / Oct 1949". Health issues dominated their lives - MacLennan lived continuously with the consciousness of his wife's [American author and painter, Dorothy Duncan MacLennan] illness during the late 1940's & 1950's and shaped his experience into what he considered his best novel - THE WATCH THAT ENDS THE NIGHT. Dorothy Duncan MacLennan chronicled her struggle with chronic illness and the complex issues involved in playing a supporting role for her writer husband (Hugh MacLennan) while pursuing her own career as an author & painter - SMALL TREASURES - The Small Details of Life: 20 Diaries by Women in Canada, 1830-1996 Edited by Kathryn Carter Dorothy Duncan MacLennan and Hugh MacLennan were influential figures in Canadian art and literature. Hugh MacLennan is regarded as a foundational voice of modern Canadian fiction, best known for BAROMETER RISING, TWO SOLITUDES, and THE WATCH THAT ENDS THE NIGHT, novels that shaped discussions of national identity, moral responsibility, and modern life. Dorothy Duncan MacLennan, an author and painter, produced an intimate body of work exploring illness, creativity, and the interior lives of women, later recognized in collections such as SMALL TREASURES. Together, their work represents a meaningful convergence of literary and artistic achievement, valued for its intellectual depth and lasting cultural significance. Signed.
