Item description from seller

Small square octavo, 259pp. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, in contemporary red marbled boards with red morocco spine, titled in gilt. The cheap, acidic interwar European paper is inevitably age-toned. One of a large and unstated number of copies SIGNED by Schwerke on the limitation page, this being number 4,800. This copy additionally INSCRIBED by Schwerke on the opposite leaf in French: "Pour mes chers amis Helen et Fred - en souvenir de tant de bonnes heures passees dans leur compagnie--Irving. 5 IV 60 Appleton, Wis." ["For my good friends Helen and Fred - in memory of so many happy hours spent in their company."] We could not identify the Leonards, though their lightly penciled address in Orlando, Florida appears on the previous leaf. Schwerke was born and died in Appleton, but in the meantime spent many years in Paris and other European cities as a jazz critic and music writer. His obituary notes that he was acquainted with Hemingway and Fitzgerald and other bright stars of 1920s Paris.…

Store description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.…
