The Book Pile
Indulge me in my worst habit - burying my nose in a book.
The Doom of Youth by Wyndham Lewis - 1st edt, 1932
The book functions as a study of self-mythologising as a social disease. I love a good Windbag Lewis, that man would NOT stop publishing...
Stochastic Analysis of Real-World Signals - Pattern Theory
for the Bayesian statistical inference lover in us all... we've all got that, right? Right..?
Etchings by Norman Lindsay - 1982
NRL is one of my favourite artists of all time, a talented polytechnic of sculpture, oil, watercolour and etchings. I consider myself lucky to own some of his original prints from the 1920s. It's HOT
The Songs of Bilitis - 1926 signed limited edition
Absolutely brimming with erotic linework illustrations by William Pogany, with his signature. Caveat emptor: there's a good chance you'll get serenaded with this, whether you like it or not
Elizabeth Barrett Brownings Poetical Works - 1886, 3 vol
While as one who quells the lions, with a steady eye serenely, She, with level fronting eyelids, passed out stately from the room
Sacred and Legendary Art by Mrs Jameson - 6 vol, 1872 to 1874
An exceptional full set of all six publications by Anna Brownell Jamesons scholarly work on religion and art. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous...
Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and Kindred Sciences - 1912, 2 vol
Please don't cancel me (!!!) - seriously though how could one NOT want to be able to read these. The Ebay listing describes it as "profusely illustrated" though they provide almost no images. Boooo
The King in Yellow - 1895 special edition
To file under: old publications that feel concerningly modern. (for my American friends, you can find this on Ebay and we can skip the international shipping costs)
Sponsor a Vintage Playboy Mag
Keep an eye on my substack for updates on my progress towards collecting every main edition published from December 1953 to December 1979. That's 313 editions!
