Rubberstamped on the first leaf: "DUPLICATE PROOFS FOR RETENTION......". Harvey A70b mentions 88 copies "distributed for sales promotion purposes" but we very much doubt our proof was used for such a purpose. Rather, this is surely one of a small handful of proofs for in house use. Proofs of books by major authors from the thirties are not easily found. $375.00

Harvey A32a $750.00

12..... Hueffer (Ford Madox) [Ford] COLLECTED POEMS OF FORD MADOX HUEFFER. London: Secket, 1916 Original blue cloth, spine label bearing Secker imprint. First edition, later issue. Bound from one of the 500 sets of Goschen sheets Secker acquired in May 1915. Harvey A43b inexactly calls this issue the Second "edition". It is the Goschen sheets with a cancel title.

17..... Hueffer (Ford Madox) [Ford] THE PORTRAIT. London: Methuen (1910) Original red cloth, somewhat rubbed; faded in parts. Some foxing in prelims, at edges. Good. First edition, first and only printing, with the 31pp inserted catalogue of ads in the rear, dated February 1910. However, this is the Colonial Issue, not mentioned by Harvey. The endpapers front & rear bear Methuen's Colonial Library ads, and the half-title is imprinted "Methuen's Colonial Library." The title page also has "Colonial Library" imprinted beneath the word "LONDON". Cf Harvey A30. Rare. $500.00

18..... Hueffer (Ford Madox) [Hueffer] A HOUSE. MODERN MORALITY PLAY. London: Poetry Bookshop, March, 1921. Original wrappers, worn; dust soiled. Good. First edition, only printing. Harvey A51. Inscribed by Ford to his lover Stella Bowen, and by Bowen to Ford, both signed - with initials. Her inscription is dated 25/3/21 - month of publication. The poem is a romanticization of Ford and Bowen's life together in their cottage at Red Ford, and although it is not acknowledged in the book, nor (as far as we can tell) in any published source, the illustrations to A HOUSE are certainly by Stella Bowen. As appealing a copy as one can hope for. $900.00
