Price: US$350.00 + shipping
Description: First English edition of Twain's classic tale of two mischievous twins, published several days before the first American edition. BAL 3441. Octavo, original publisher's pictorial cloth with gilt titles to the spine, tissue-guarded frontispiece portrait of Twain by James Mapes Dodge and six illustration by Louis Loeb. From the library of William Safire with his bookplate to the pastedown. William Safire was an important American author, columnist, journalist, and presidential speechwriter. He joined Nixonâs campaign for the 1960 Presidential race, and supported him again in 1968. After Nixonâs 1968 victory, Safire served as a speechwriter for him and Spiro Agnew. He authored several political columns in addition to his weekly column âOn Languageâ in The New York Times Magazine from 1979 until the month of his death and authored two books on grammar and linguistics: The New Language of Politics (1968) and what Zimmer called Safireâs âmagnum opus,â Safireâs Political Dictionary. Safire later served as a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board from 1995 to 2004 and in 2006 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush. In very good condition. âA major part of Twainâs Mississippi writings. It resembles Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in being set before the Civil War in a small Missouri town modeled on Hannibal. However, it has a much more somber tone. While it contains humor, it deals frankly with small-town prejudice, slavery, miscegenation, lost birthright, degenerate aristocratic values and distorted parental loveâ (Rasmussen, 372). âIncludes a series of brilliant epigrams, each the headpiece of a chapter, which are distillations of Twainâs wit and wisdomâ (Benet, 795).

Twain, Mark. TOM SAWYER ABROAD. , 1894.
Price: US$475.00 + shipping
Description: With 26 Illustrations by Dan Beard. London: Chatto & Windus, 1894. 32 pp ads dated Feb 1894. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in black. First English Edition, apparently published one day after the American one (though this is far from certain). In this tale Tom, Huck and Jim travel about the world in a self-propelled balloon; Twain was trying to cash in on the popularity of Jules Verne (just as this book's sequel, TOM SAWYER DETECTIVE, would try to cash in on the popularity of Sherlock Holmes). This copy is in the primary (red pictorial) binding -- showing our heroes drifting by in their balloon while four lions jump up at them from the ground. It is unusually bright and clean -- near-fine (as usual the volume is a little aslant, and there are a few faint marks). In our experience this English edition is scarcer than the American. Blanck 3440 (note); McBride p. 163.
