Exquisitely bound in a manner and style reflecting Vanessa Bell's illustrations. First fully illustrated edition, hand-numbered by Virginia Woolf, this being number 48 of 500. This was a collaboration between author and artist which was deeply important to Woolf, who saw it as a means of "binding herself to her sister" (Willis, p31). "Bell's designs for this edition occur on every page of text, acting as borders, punctuation, bridges, or disruptions into the type-set text. In contrast, the first and second editions of 1919 only had a frontispiece and finispiece by Bell, and she was not satisfied with them." This title was Virginia Woolf's third published book and one of her early shorter fictions, which "were less stories than theoretical expositions of the new form of fiction that she had come upon" (ODNB). Heavy paper leaves show a touch of age toning, else tight, bright, and unmarred.

WOOLF, Virginia.. Kew Gardens. Decorated by Vanessa Bell.. [London:] The Hogarth Press, 1927, 1927.

Price: US$8771.93 + shipping

Description: First fully illustrated edition (third overall), signed by both Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell, not called for in the limitation, and scarce thus. It is hand-numbered by Virginia Woolf as number 143, from a limited edition of 500 copies. The collaboration between author and artist during its initial publication held a great personal importance to Woolf, who saw it as a means of "binding herself to her sister" (Willis, p. 31). Bell's designs for this edition occur on every page of text, acting as borders, punctuation, bridges, or disruptions into the type-set text. In contrast, the first and second editions of 1919 only had a frontispiece and finispiece by Bell, and she was not satisfied with them. This title was Virginia Woolf's third published book and one of her early shorter fictions, which "were less stories than theoretical expositions of the new form of fiction that she had come upon" (ODNB). Its unexpected success was "the most dramatic factor in the Woolfs' becoming significant commercial publishers" (Woolmer, p. xxiii). Sales dramatically increased following a review in the Times Literary Supplement hailing it as "a work of art. a thing of original and therefore strange beauty, with its own 'atmosphere,' its own vital force" (29 May 1919). Octavo. Finely bound by the Chelsea Bindery in brown morocco, titles blocked to spine in cream, onlay to front board copied from the original decorated paper boards designed by Vanessa Bell, decorative endpapers based on designs by Vanessa Bell in loop and spot pattern, top edge gilt. Decorative floral frames throughout the text by Vanessa Bell. Title page printed in brown. Printed on rectos only. The occasional minor blemish, an excellent copy finely bound.

Woolf, Virginia. To The Lighthouse with review slip. London The Hogarth Press 1927, 1927.

Price: US$21442.51 + shipping

Description: First edition, first printing. Published by The Hogarth Press in London, 1927. This is a very good (or better) copy. The dust wrapper appears in beautiful condition, though has some light restorative repair to the spine, mainly internally. There is a thin amount of chipping to the tail of the spine and a larger chip to the head. The blue lettering on the spine is bright and vibrant, however. There is slight loss at the corners and some light handling marks throughout. The boards are slightly sunned at the spine and there are some light blemishes to both panels. The corners are sharp. The internals are incredibly clean and fresh. There is a review slip loosely slipped inside, on footed 'The Hogarth Press' paper, outlining the date of publication (May 7th) and the price (7/6) in what may be Leonard Woolf's own hand, though this is down for debate. Overall, this is a very good (or better) copy of what is a scarce work, increasingly scarce with the review slip and in such bright condition. Upon completing the draft of this, her most autobiographical novel, Woolf described it as 'easily the best of my books' and her husband Leonard thought it a "'masterpiece'. entirely new 'a psychological poem'". They published it together at their Hogarth Press in London in 1927. The first impression comprised 3000 copies. The book outsold all Woolf's previous novels, and the proceeds enabled the Woolfs to buy a car – which one would assume they used to drive to a lighthouse.

Woolf, Virginia. To the Lighthouse.. Leonard & Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press, London, 1927.

Price: US$22500.00 + shipping

Description: First edition of one of Woolf’s most popular and acclaimed major novels, in the extremely rare original dust jacket designed by Vanessa Bell, Woolf’s sister. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with light rubbing and wear to the crown of the spine. Jacket design by Vanessa Bell. From the library of Elizabeth Paepcke, with her signature in pencil to the front free endpaper. Paepcke, along with her husband Walter were philanthropists best noted for founding the Aspen Institute and the Aspen Skiing Company in the early 1950s, both of which helped transform the town of Aspen, Colorado into an international resort destination and popularize the sport of skiing in the United States. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Rare and desirable, especially in this condition and with noted provenance. Published two years after Mrs. Dalloway and three years before The Waves, To the Lighthouse “displays Woolf’s technique of narrating through stream of consciousness and imagery at its most assured, rich, and suggestive” (Drabble, 990). “In its portrayal of life… it gives us an interlude of vision that must stand at the head of all Virginia Woolf’s work” (New York Times). To the Lighthouse was “written at the height of her luminous Impressionist vision… It is the sunniest of her books and shows the obsession with rendering the passage of time which dominated her later work. With her prosperous upper middle class academic background of the late Victorian establishment, Virginia Woolf is always walking a tight-rope in her desire to get away from it and portray ordinary people as a novelist should, hence the mixture of respect and irony with which she surveys its security and solid values” (Connolly). It was named by Modern Library as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2005, the novel was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the one hundred best English-language novels since 1923. It was adapted to film in 1983 by Hugh Stoddart, directed by Colin Gregg, and produced by Alan Shallcross.
