Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Essentials by Jean Toomer Definitions and Aphorisms, Private Edition, Designed and Printed at the Lakeside Press, Chicago First Edition 1931; Fine, Unsigned, Remaindered Copy, Multiple copies available After the publication of Cane, Toomer pus…hed aside literary pursuits to devote himself to spiritual mysticism, particularly the teachings of the Russian Armenian mystic George Gurdjieff who promoted individual development through discipline of the mind, body, and emotions. Toomer would visit and learn from Gurdjieff at his Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man at Fontainebleau, France in 1924. Upon his return he would conduct a series of lectures and demonstrations among the Black literati in Harlem, eventually build a community of followers in Chicago, and dream about building his own institute modeled after Gurdjieff's in America. Later he would become involved with Quakerism, Jungian psychoanalysis, the psychic Edgar Cayce, and even L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics (now morphed into the Church of Scientology) "Essentials was an attempt to sum up all wisdom and experience - the universe according to Jean Toomer - in a collection of aphorisms. Gurdjieff used this technique at Fontainebleau, where his favorite homilies decorated the Study House." The resulting work was deemed unpublishable, leading Toomer to start his own publishing firm. 1000 copies of Essentials were printed but sales were poor. These were some of the remaindered copies. Black cloth, decorative paper labels to spine and front board, pp. [x], 64, [2]; Unread and as fine as the day they were printed. From the estate of Jean Toomer and Margery Latimer's daughter. [Kerman, C. E., Eldridge, R. The Lives of Jean Toomer A Hunger for Wholeness. Louisiana State University Press, 1987].

Contact seller5-star sellerdj. First, limited edition. No. 458 of 1000 numbered copies. 12mo; black cloth-covered boards with printed spine and cover labels; [64pp]. Fine but for some trivial dusting to the upper edge of the text block; in original blue and turquoise printed jacket, lightly soiled and darkened on spine, still Very Good or better. Laid-in…is the scarce original 4-pp prospectus, with testimonials from a variety of critics and newspapers. Toomer's second book. An undetermined number of copies (we have never seen one numbered above 500) were numbered and issued at the time of publication; a few of these were signed, though the signature is not called for. An unsold remainder of copies was discovered some time in the early 200's, and these have steadily appeared on the market in fine, fresh (but unnumbered) condition. Ours an attractive original copy, including a prospectus not previously seen by us.
