Portrait of My Father

Santa Barbara, California: Capra Press, 1986. SIGNED in full by the AUTHOR directly on the title page (his signature only; NOT personalized to anyone). Fine condition in a Near Fine dust jacket. The jacket would also be FINE but for a little sun fade to its spine (as usual with this book's jacket). Protected by a removable mylar clear-plastic sleeve. NOT price clipped ($15.00). NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked - probably never read. NO highlighting. NO underlining. NO margin notes. The jacket describes this work as a "novelization" based in part on letters and other documents concerning his father that Powell found during a trip to Paris, where his dad had also spent time. Bound in the original pale yellow boards, with a black cloth spine stamped in bright silver. Complete with dust jacket. Laid in is a copy of a fascinating article about Powell's life and career written by printer/publisher Ward Ritchie for the Antiquarian Bookman's Weekly (January 22, 1990). Powell and Ritchie were close friends from early childhood and this article details some of the adventures, literary and otherwise, they shared over the years. Signed by the Author (signature only). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. 111pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…
