Hardcover. Condition: Very Good condition. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good jacket. Glaser, Milton (jacket design) (illustrator). First American edition (so stated). New York: Atheneum, 1966. Very Good condition in a Very Good dust jacket. NOT price clipped ($4.50). The jacket has one tiny chip. Protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. Paperclip impression on a few leaves. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. 1966. First American Edition (so stated). A reference work often cited by booksellers in their catalogue descriptions. Don't confuse this with the University of Texas exhibition catalogue. Bound in the original silver-stamped black cloth. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "Cyril Connolly has chosen as his 'Key' books those which best illustrate the spirit of the modern movement which dawned with Flaubert and Baudelaire, reached its zenith early in the century, and only became past history in the fifties - if it has become past history. In selecting the one hundred titles Mr. Connolly has taken as his criterion not personal preference, but the importance of each work in the setting of the movement itself. Of course, not everyone will agree, and disagreeing with Mr. Connolly's choice may well become a parlour game amongst fellow literary critics and others. But the greatest value of the book is to those not yet in a position to argue with the compiler, to whom his taste, erudition and critical genius will open new paths. Mr. Connolly has plotted a course through seventy years of literature which can be followed with benefit and much enjoyment by all students of literature. The one hundred titles are divided into four periods, each of which is briefly introduced; the whole is prefaced with a stimulating analysis of the modern movement as a whole in which Mr. Connolly explains his choice of books. Each book is dated and briefly described in a short paragraph or two which includes information on the author's other works and sets the book in its place in the movement. The book is completed by a full bibliography which includes details of available British and American and French editions as well as information on translations.". First American edition (so stated). Hardcover. Very Good condition/Very Good jacket. Illus. by Glaser, Milton (jacket design). (ix), 149pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Seller Inventory # 019270
