Here is a rare opportunity to own nearly two-thirdsof all publications from the highly-esteemed publishers Stone & Kimball and Herbert S. Stone & Company. This lot consists of 200 individual titles (a few titles are multi-volume sets, so, 208 individual volumes). Sidney Kramer, in A History of Stone & Kimball and Herbert S. Stone & Company,catalogues 309 titles published under the S&K/Herbert S. Stone banner, as well as a handful of privately-printed publications made by these houses.

Active between 1893-1905, these Chicago publishers produced some of the finest books of theirs or any era, and represent an important moment in the history of the book publishing arts. The quality of manufacture and design, including contributions from design artists such as Aubrey Beardsley and Frank Hazenplug, demonstrate a strong influence of the contemporary Arts and Crafts movement.

These fine books will make a wonderful addition to the library of any serious book collector.
All titles are originals, all first editions (with very few exceptions - see table below), and all in Very Good or better condition (with a few exceptions - see table below). Several titles were published in very limited editions.

Six of the books in this collection feature the book plate of Herbert S. Stone, a descendant of the Herbert S. Stone who published these titles. The plate is a design by renowned book-plate artist Dorothy Sturgis Harding. See image.

Among the highlights from the collection are:
- Four volumes of the literary magazine The Chap-Book (2 volumes bound, the rest as separate issues)- A signed copy of Some Verses by Helen Hay (another signed copy on Abe Books is on offer for $875).
- A signed copy (personally inscribed with a poem) of Clyde Fitch's Some Correspondence and Six Conversations (this copy is also unopened, suggesting that the recipient of this gift was, perhaps, less than enthusiastic about Mr. Fitch's attentions).
- The works of early food-faddist and health guru Horace Fletcher (including a rare copy of The Last Waif personally inscribed by the author).
- The first appearances in English of the plays of Maurice Maeterlinck.
- The first appearance in English of the poems of Paul Verlaine.
- The first edition of Hamlin Garland's Prairie Songs.
- A signed copy of George Santayana's Sonnets and Other Poems.
- A signed presentation copy of Laurence Gronlund's The New Economy
- A signed copy of Olive Percival's Mexico City: An Idler's Notebook (a 6-verse poetical dedication by the author)
- The first edition of Sir Richard Burton's The Jew, the Gypsy, and El Islam.
- The first edition of Kenneth Graham's (author of Wind in the Willows) The Golden Age.

CONDITION: The list below enumerates all titles, states their condition, and, where appropriate, offers brief details and comments on condition and other background (these notes are not exhaustive descriptions, but meant to cover the more conspicuous features or flaws). I have tried to be conservative in my condition designations, and to make note of particular flaws, while also considering the age of these books. Many of these books have a small "xxxxx" stamp appearing discreetly on the rear paste-down (see image); the presence or absence of this stamp is noted in the table below. Most copies will contain discreet pencil markings on end-papers from a previous collector or merchant - because these are impermanent and easily removed, I have not commented on these (typically, these consist of the Kramer number, along with the occasional comment on the edition or some detail of the book, and occasionally an old dealer price).

Because of image limitations, only 8 pictures are posted here; I have done my best to provide the most complete representation of this collection within those limits. More pictures can be made available, and detailed descriptions of particular titles made, for serious inquiries only.

SHIPPING: I will ship by Media Mail; size and weight restrictions will require that several packages be shipped. A flat rate of $200 for this shipping is applied to this listing; a partial refund will be made if actual shipping and handling is significantly below this estimate; no additional shipping will be charged if my costs for media mail exceed this amount. Other delivery arrangements can be made by purchaser request and at purchaser expense. Local pickup may be arranged, and I can personally deliver within a reasonable distance (say, 20-25 miles), with buyer covering travel expense and a reasonable delivery fee. All books will be carefully and securely packaged to ensure that none are damaged in transit.

New York, Grove Press, 2022, trade paperback, 272 pp, Advance Uncorrected Proof (ARC), New. Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
