Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. "D. H. Lawrence : Letters to Thomas and Adele Seltzer", was edited by Gerald M. Lacy, and published by Black Sparrow Press in 1976, as the First Trade Edition. THIS IS A CLEAN AND SERVICEABLE DE-ACCESSIONED LIBRARY COPY (X-LIB)). Thomas Seltzer was the publisher who introduced the works of D. H. Lawrence to American readers. For his efforts on behalf of literature he was hounded and attacked by the notorious New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. One of the books under attack was "Women in Love". Seltzer went bankrupt fighting such censorship. The letters in this book (which also includes correspondence from both of the Seltzers to Lawrence) are revelatory concerning the cordial relations between the Seltzers and Lawrence, and the concerns of all for the problems surrounding publication of Lawrence's works. The text is accompanied by photographs of D. H. and Hilda Lawrence , the Seltzers, and others close to both parties. There are also nice pictures of the original dust-jackets of some of Lawrence's books. Altogether, an important, fascinating read. The book also contains "D. H. Lawrence : a biographical Narrative" by Alexandra Lee Levin and Lawrence L. Levin. Once again, please note : This is a de-accessioned library book, but one that has seen little use, and which displays only mild wear. It does, of course, have library markings (but modestly applied) and a pocket on the rear free end-paper. TITLE : Letters to Thomas and Adele Seltzer AUTHOR : D. H.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. The Adventures of Maya the Bee was written by Waldemar Bonsels, Translated by Adele Szold Seltzer, Illustrations made especially for this edition by Rafaello Busoni, was published by Farrar, Straus & Cudahy, Inc., New York, in 1951. Not an ex-library copy, this 191-page, 5 1/2" X 8", 62-year-old offering is in VG/G- condition. The book itself is in overall crisp, firm physical shape. There is some spotty staining from original glue, and some browning/yellowing of endpapers and text's pages(mitigated quite conveniently by the fact that the book is printed, unless I miss my guess, on light brown paper to begin with). There is a 1/4"-wide, greyish-brown spot on the middle-third portion of page 81/82. This offering's dust jacket, having done such an admirable job of maintaining its client's clean/sound condition, definitely shows some wear. I clear taped in 5-6 spots, mostly on top or bottom edges of front/back jacket cover sections to repair/keep from lengthening tears. Rather noticeable shelf wear is observed at the top edge of jacket's spine. From front inside dust jacket flap, "The heroine of this story is Maya--a pert, adventuresome young bee of exceptional nature. On the first day she awoke to life, an elderly lady bee told Maya that the first rule a young bee must learn is to be like other bees and to work for the good of all, gathering nectar all day long. The lady bee told Maya of other things in life, too--the sunshine, lofty green trees, flowery fields, lakes of silver, heavens blue and radiant. She warned her against the dangers of the wicked world, named the bee's most dangerous enemies. Then she spoke of human beings, the highest and most perfect of Nature's creations, and implanted a love for them in the child's heart and a great longing to know them and the world. What else could a bright young bee like Maya do then, but leave her regimented hive and fly out into the sunlight to discover all these things for herself? Maya's adventures reveal all the wonder of the smallest things of nature; the world of the bee becomes warmly human. Children will be delighted with the fanciful and intriguing plot, adults with the humor and subtle human parallels." I cannot really expand upon or beyond the above description of our tale, except to say that this lovely story, originally published around the turn of the last century, has delighted countless readers of all ages, in many various languages around the world. NOTE: The frequent Drawings of Rafaello Busoni, executed in subtle pastel shades of deep violet, various bluish hues, or reddish-brown help bring a host of the story's character's to life. This is a lovely story, told/written by one extremely perceptive human being. Thanks very much!. Rafaello Busoni (illustrator).…
