William Faulkner’s Signed “Sanctuary” First Edition, First Printing — In Scarce, Original Dustjacket
Southern American writer William Faulkner signed first edition, first printing of his “Sanctuary,” published by Jonathan Cape & Harrison Smith: New York: 1931. The winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner inscribes the fly-leaf: “Dr. A. J. Liebmann / William Faulkner / New York / 17 March 1943” in black ink. Faulker’s dark tale of murder runs 380pp., bound in gray cloth boards with fuchsia paper accents and fuchsia lettering. Top edge black. Slight wear to board edges and minor cocking to spine, else near fine. The scarce, original dustjacket features a geometric printed design in black, white and blue. Negligible staining to panels and light wear to the edges. Chipping to the top edge of the spine leaves with small paper loss. Very good condition. Sold for $8,513.
The following are some additional rare books we have sold:
Rare first edition, first printing of one of the most desired books in the history of literature, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ”The Great Gatsby,” published by Charles Scribner’s Sons: New York: 1925, with the nearly impossible to find first printing dustjacket. Every point is present: 1925 is printed on title page; Charles Scribner’s Sons logo appears on the copyright page with no subsequent printing statements; ”chatter” appears on page 60; ”northern” appears on page 119; ”it’s” is printed on line 16 of page 165; ”sick in tired” is found on page 205; ”Union Street station” is mistyped on line 7-8 of page 211. Bound in dark green cloth boards with title and author’s name blind-stamped to front board and gilt lettering to spine. Francis Cugat’s scarce original unrestored first printing dustjacket has the lowercase ”j” in ”jay Gatsby” on the back panel hand-corrected in ink. Sold for $50,000.
Ernest Hemingway Signed First Limited Edition of ”A Farewell to Arms” — Scarce in Original Slipcase
Ernest Hemingway signed limited first edition of his post-WWI classic, ”A Farewell to Arms”, housed in its original limited edition slipcase, with numbers matching. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1929. Published on 27 September 1929 in a limited edition of 510 numbered copies, this being #214, signed boldly ”Ernest Hemingway” in black fountain pen.

”To Kill a Mockingbird” Signed by Harper Lee in 1960, the Year of Publication
Scarce early Harper Lee signature on a first edition, fourth printing of her classic, ”To Kill a Mockingbird” published by J.B. Lippincott Company: Philadelphia: 1960. The elusive Pulitzer Prize winning author pens a rare inscription on the front free endpaper the year of the book’s release: ”To Scottie Frasier’s Godchildren: Terry and Al Rosen, With the best wishes of Harper Lee / September 14, 1960.” Harper Lee’s portrayal of life in a small Alabama town captured the essence of the South and became an instant American classic. She never finished a second novel and granted almost no interviews or public appearances. Volume runs 296pp. and measures 5.5” x 8.25”. Later eighth printing dustjacket encases the book. Some light wear to edges of dustjacket, else near fine condition. Sold for $6,250.
