softcover. Condition: very good. Manchester-born novelist Jack Kahane began the Obelisk Press after his publisher, Grant Richards, went bankrupt. Going into partnership with a printer, Kahane, as Cecil Barr, published his next novel Daffodil under his Vendome imprint. Pearson identified July 1931 [3rd impression] as the earliest… issue printed: "He almost certainly exaggerated the number of times the book went to press in order to give the appearance of healthy sales, and stimulate demand. Lending weight to this theory is the sign-off which appears at the end of the text on [301]: Paris, May 1931. It seems unlikely that the book would have been set, proof-read and published in less than a month, and unlikelier still that it would have been reprinted twice by July. " This is the Obelisk July 1936 "11th" impression. Daffodil, light bit of erotica about a model who did more, perhaps, off-camera. Was a shocker for the tourists in the early '30s. Creasing, soiling to the covers. Pages are a bit age-toned. book.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. [KAHANE, Jack]; NEAGOE, Peter - Storm (two volumes) First edition - Paris: New Review Publications (1932), Second edition - Paris: The Obelisk Press (1932) First edition: 8vo; original beige wrappers, with the titles and design printed in navy blue and orange; pp. [viii], 9-179, [i]…; a crease to the top right-hand corner of the upper panel, with some minor wear to the spine ends, overall, a nice copy in very good or better condition. Second [first Obelisk] edition: crown 8vo, original green wrappers printed in black; pp [x], 11-304, [i]; printed with the contents at the back; The spine sunned, the front panel with a couple of ink spots and other soiling, edges and endpapers a little spotted, the flyleaf with an old price written in red pencil, overall, good to very good. Peter Neagoe came from Romania, and his childhood was spent around farmers and sheep herders. He immigrated to the US, but it was his early experiences that would form the basis of his writing career. It all started for him through Eugene Jolas and his renowned Paris based magazine Transition. He wrote short stories about his childhood. Then in 1932, as assistant editor of New Review Magazine he persuaded the editor to publish his own short story collection Storm, with his friend Eugene Jolas providing an introductory letter. Neagoe, with freshly minted copies in his possession, flew back to the United States, but to his dismay US customs officials banned the publication for [occasional] erotic content. This alerted a certain Jack Kahane, who agreed with Neagoe a second expanded edition, without a contribution from a disgusted Jolas. A friendship was ruined, and a controversial book was born. Kahane made sure the rear panel of the second edition highlighted its status as a controversial book in all its glory, with various quotes establishing its credentials.

First edition published in August 1934. One of publisher Jack Kahane's six books written under the pseudonym of 'Cecil Barr', used according to Kahane / The Obelisk Press Bibliographer Neil Pearson in homage to his favourite bar in the Cecil Hotel in Paris. Kahane would become depressed by the success of his 'Barr' books, given the heavyweight literary company he kept, that these books were often a source of deep embarrassment for him. Salacious, gratuitous and successful they were though with copies of the adventures of 'Tommy Trans-Wood and his Wife' selling so well, it needed a second printing and then a second edition in 1955. It is rare to find a first edition in such good condition. [Pearson A-31].
