Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. 1st Edition. First American Edition (Number Line to 1). This book was previously owned by the renowned sociologist Daniel Bell. He signed his name on the blank front end paper, and underneath wrote '1985'. You can see the covers of the book in the photos. They are very clean. The silver lettering on the spine is nicely bright. There is just a little bit of crinkling at the spine ends. The cover edges are in excellent shape, no rubbing. Same goes for the cover corners. The page edges look good. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. There is a slight bit of spotting or foxing on the blank front and rear end papers, none anywhere else in the book. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners, no placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And Dr. Bell's signature represents the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. The dust jacket is a mixed bag. There's only light soiling. There are no edge tears. However, as you can see, there is a loss on the front cover and there is a piece of tape on the rear cover (oddly, because there is no tear there). The flaps are clean. There are no tears on them. There is a little crinkling around the front flap's top edge. The jacket is NOT priced-clipped, not clipped at all. I've always had it in a fitted protective cover. From the front flap of the dust jacket the Song of the Partisan is quoted: 'We are the sons of David, the hardheaded sons of Masada. Each of us carries in his pocket the stone that shattered the forehead of Goliath. Brothers, away from this Europe of graves: Let us climb together towards the land where we will be men among men. If I'm not for myself, who will be for me? If not this way, how? If not now, when?' 'An often fierce and exciting story', 'it speeds along with an accumulating energy, even suspense' writes Irving Howe in his introduction to this gripping novel about Jews who fought back during the Holocaust. Based on a true story, If Not Now, When? chronicles the adventures, crises, and inner transformations of a band of Jewish partisans-- refugees from Nazi terror-- as they battle the retreating German army in the closing days of World War II.'.…

Anodized Aluminum. Condición: New. Limited Edition. Square, 14 by 12 inches, 164 unnumbered pages. The types are Veronese for the text, handset and in Monotype composition by Mackenzie & Harris, and handset Twentieth Century for display. The drawings are printed on transparent sheets of mylar in different colors of inks, each matching the color of the following sheet underlying it and the number of the chapter on the preceding leaf, such that the images are revealed only when each transparent sheet is turned over and rests on the preceding leaf, allowing the text and images to be read together. The type (on paper) and the photopolymer plates for the drawings (on mylar) were printed by letterpress. The papers, both colored and white, are Tiziano, mould-made at the Fabriano mill in Italy. The binding, made of anodized aluminum, comprises a back cover, a lid in place of a front cover, and four U-posts that form a ring binding. The posts rise from the back cover through four slots in the front cover and are held in place by an aluminium rod locking pin that slips through the loops. The "spine" made by the left edge of the front lid bears the title in outline. Edition of 400 copies, plus 26 lettered copies hors de commerce, signed by the artist. Italo Calvino (1923-1985) was the premier Italian fiction writer of the twentieth century. Gore Vidal, in the "New York Review of Books", singled out "Invisible Cities" as his finest novel: "In a garden sit the aged Kublai Khan and the young Marco Polo - Tartar emperor and Venetian traveler. The mood is sunset. Prospero is holding up for the last time his magic wand. Kublai Khan has sensed the end of his empire, of his cities, of himself." When a speaking engagement brought translator William Weaver to California, he was honored at a dinner at the Press, where Hoyem and Ketcham invited him to write a new introduction to his admired translation. The artist Wayne Thiebaud, in his first meeting with Hoyem on this project, said "Let's made the invisible visible. You'll figure it out." Please note that while this copy is in fine condition overall, the aluminum case shows minimal signs of having been opened at some point. In addition, this copy is marked as a display copy; however, other than a few light marks to the first piece of mylar, the interior is fine and as new. Signed "Thiebaud" on the verso of the second title page. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note the following: (i) additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs, please inquire for details; and (ii) any taxes, duty, or tariffs charged by your country will, of necessity, be your responsibility. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
