IRVING, John
(n.p.), Garp Enterprises/Radio-Telegraphic Company, 1991. A very early draft of the screenplay that won Irving an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay, based on his sixth novel. Signed by Irving. This is the earliest copy of the script we have seen: the film was released in 1999; this version is dated "June 14, 1991, Revised." Hand-numbered "42." There are substantial textual differences between this early version and the final version. 130 pages, stringbound, with one remaining brad. Foxing to pages; near fine. An award-winning script, seen here as a work in progress.

KELLER, Helen
1902. Written to Mr. [William V.] Alexander, editor of Ladies Home Journal, who had requested a series of articles from Keller that were later published as The Story of My Life. Keller humbly thanks Alexander for payment for the last article; in part: "I only wish I could have made the story of my life more worthy of the generous praise it has received...It has meant a great deal in my life, and in Miss Sullivan's too -- the thought of the happiness that she says my compliance with your request has brought her is sweeter even than the thought of the kindness shown me in the letters that come constantly from old friends long silent and new friends whose words go to the heart..." Two 5" x 8" pages, typed with blue ribbon and signed "Helen Keller." A very early letter by Keller, preceding her first book, with exceptionally good content. Fine.

KENNNEDY, John F
(n.p.), (n.p.), ca. 1961-1963. A portrait of a smiling Kennedy, presumably taken during his years as President. Inscribed by Kennedy: "To Bill/ with very best wishes/ John Kennedy." From the estate of Doris Dana, the partner and translator of Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral, the first Latin American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. We were presented with the possibility that the inscription was to William Carter, Chief of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress, but any connection he may have had to Kennedy, decades earlier, is lost to us. 8" x 10". Two pinholes to top margin, marginal tear to top edge; half-inch tear on right side; light creasing and minor edge wear; very good.

MORSE, William Inglis
London, A. Smith, 1929. With photographs by the author. Bound by Sangorski and Sutcliffe in full leather stamped in gilt and blind with raised bands and a front cover design incorporating the author's initials from a design on the title page. All edges gilt. The colophon states "Designed by W.B. Dalton and W.H. Amery with the assistance of the Artistic Typography Class of The Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts, London. Printed under the direction of H.G. Wicks by A. Smith & Co., 30 Sangley Road, London, S.E.6." One of 500 copies, although it appears that most were bound in quarter leather and only the first 30 (50?) were bound in full leather. Apparently each of the leatherbound copies had a different design, and some were bound by Sangorski and Sutcliffe and others by Douglas Cockerel. A trifle scratched on the rear cover, but still fine in a near fine slipcase. A very attractive copy.

POTTER, J.K.
[c. 1990]. Fifteen original pieces of horror art (including one print and one set of contact sheets, in addition to photographs) by Potter, one of the most renowned contemporary fantasy artists. Potter uses traditional darkroom techniques to generate startling, often erotic, mind-bending, sensual images with both dramatic shock value and a dark sense of foreboding. His art has illustrated works by J.G. Ballard, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Poppy Z. Brite, Lucius Shepard, Ramsey Campbell, Clive Barker, William Gibson, William Burroughs and others. Poppy Z. Brite and Lydia Lunch are among his most frequent models. All of the photographs in this collection are from an unpublished book on his work. Most are 11" x 14", and most are signed by Potter. Together with an autograph letter signed by Potter to the would-be editor of the book, Stanley Wiater. Two pages, in which Potter weighs in on the idea of a dark fantasy children's book and works out the medium for an interview with Wiater. A fine collection from a work that was scuttled by the publisher and will never see light of day. Unique.
