Chandler (Raymond) Playback, dedication proof copy belonging to Chandler's agent/lover Helga Greene, Helga Greene Literary Agency stamp on half-title, annotations presumably in Helga's hand for printer directions and the odd correction, spine rubbed and splitting along joints, 1958; and a proof of Raymond Chandler Speaking, also with the agency stamp on title and signed by one of the editors, 1962, proof copies, original wrappers, covers spotted and discoloured, 8vo (2) *** A rare proof/dedication/agent's copy of Chandler's last novel.After Chandler's wife Cissy died in 1954, Chandler took to alcohol and fell into a deep depression. His personal life was both helped and complicated after a few years when he and his literary agent Helga Greene became lovers, and rumours suggested at least attraction to other women in his life, namely Sonia Orwell (George Orwell's widow), and Natasha Spender (Stephen Spender's wife) and his secretary Jean Fracasse.The printed dedication is to both Helga and Jean - a parting gift before he died in March the following year, foreshadowing the fallout between the two women over his estate. Greene inherited his $60,000 estate, after prevailing in the 1960 lawsuit filed by Jean who contested Chandler's holographic codicil to his will, written four weeks before he died.  Following Greene's success in the courts, Helga hired Kathrine Sorley Walker and Dorothy Gardiner to compile Chandler's letters, essays and unfinished novel into a book, Raymond Chandler Speaking. Walker worked for Greene's literary agency for 25 years, until Greene's death. All together a duo of fascinating publication history from the celebrated, if often romantically provocative Raymond Chandler.

A World War II Royal Observer Corps Sector or Colour Change Clock, by Elliot England, Serial No. 11576, date stamp 1939 to rear of movement, fusee movement all apparently correct, hardwood bezel and back box, back box stamped B26, stencil to left side door A1DESG, back box securing pegs present, painted dial in sector colours, 19ins diameter including bezel, with original pendulum and keyhttps://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/qa24dar9toifb73idwr2i/ABpqWV9p13uxlB1Ngg3cJJc?rlkey=gl3ardr5qr6s9rxrje8wiq8cn&st=mth5in3s&dl=0 The clock presents in excellent overall condition showing slight wear commensurate with age and usage. The dial appears to be in good condition showing no obvious sign of any restoration, likewise the glass and frame are bearing the original black paint and present in good condition. The hinge functions correctly with no sign of wear and the screws appear original. The outer wooden bezel shows no undue sign of previous damage or repair and shows the odd mark, again commensurate with age and usage and it appears to have had a coat of varnish but this is historic rather than recent. To the rear of the clock the woodwork presents again in honest original condition, the screws appear to be original, the hinges to the flaps at the side at the bottom appear original and in good order. Both flaps function correctly. The brass hanging tag is not original but is a replacement and has two new screw attached to it. The four wooden pegs that hold the cabinet appear to be in good condition and original. The cabinet itself again has original screws, no sign of any obvious previous repair or damage but may again historically have received a coat of varnish. The movement is honest and complete, does not appear to have any replacement parts, it winds and runs and sets but should be regarded as untested. We cannot warrant the originality of all parts but there is nothing glaringly obvious. Pendulum is present and is original. The key is non original but fits and functions correctly. Prospective bidders are advised to study all images closely prior to bidding. Overall a good honest example of a increasingly rare item.

Gottfried Benn Zweiundzwanzig Gedichte (1936-1943). [Privatdruck] August 1943. • Widmungsexemplar an Benns Freund F. W. Oelze • Einzige Ausgabe, von großer Seltenheit • Das Heft wurde in sehr kleiner Auflage gedruckt und nur an engste Freunde weitergegeben • Illegale Publikation, die Benn trotz Schreibverbot gegen Ende des Krieges drucken ließ 'Der Excellenz im Claridge aus einer östlichen Kaserne' (Gottfried Benn) Das Widmungsexemplar wurde von Benn am 13. Oktober datiert und bereits 5 Tage später, am 18. Oktober, hielt Oelze, der in Paris im Hotel Claridge weilte, den Empfang des Heftes auf der Widmungsseite fest. Auf dem hinteren Innenumschlag vermerkte Oelze am 18. VIII. (19)57 zu den Gedichten Interieur und In einer Stadt, daß sie (bis dato) 'nicht wieder gedruckt' worden sind. Benn betrachtete seine Gedichtsammlung als ein Vermächtnis seines lyrischen Werks, das er mit diesem Privatdruck vor der Vernichtung bewahren wollte. Mit der äußeren Form war Benn indessen gar nicht zufrieden, er kritisierte den Band in einem Brief vom 11. Nov. 1943 an F. W. Oelze als 'scheußliches grünes Heft', das grob und unsensibel gedruckt sei. - Über die minimale Auflagenhöhe des unter Lebensgefahr veranstalteten, nur mit den Initialen G. B. gekennzeichneten Druckes schreibt Benn am 17. Okt. 1943 an Gustav Kilpper, einen von den Nazis entlassenen Verlagsdirektor: 'Ich schicke Ihnen anbei ein kleines Heft, das ich .. auf eigene Kosten und in eigener Verantwortung habe drucken lassen. Ich wollte gerne das noch zusammengefaßt gedruckt vor mir sehen, was ich aus den letzten Jahren retten wollte. Es sind nur wenige Exemplare, und sie gehen nur an einen ganz kleinen Kreis von Bekannten'. Zehn Tage später präzisiert er: 'Ich habe im ganzen 9 Hefte verschickt, mehr Bekannte und Anhänger, denen ich trauen könnte, besitze ich nicht mehr'. Die genaue Höhe der Auflage und der Druckbetrieb sind unbekannt, die Druckvorlage verschwand in den Kriegswirren. Nach Friedrich Vorwerk (1893-1968), der an der Gestaltung mitgewirkt hat, betrug die Auflage ca. 100 Exemplare. Benn selbst schrieb an Fritz Werner am 18. April 1954: 'Ich besitze kein Exemplar, (es) waren nur 30 Stück gedruckt'. Nach Versendung der wenigen Widmungsexemplare scheint Benn die übrigen Bändchen vor seiner Flucht aus Landsberg vernichtet zu haben. Es sind jedenfalls nur noch eine Handvoll Exemplare bekannt. Enthalten sind die Gedichte Verse, Gedichte, Bilder, Verlorenes Ich, Wenn etwas leicht, Garten und Nächte, Welle der Nacht (Alexander Lernet-Holenia gewidmet), Die Gefährten, Ein später Blick, Ist das nicht schwerer, Henri Matisse: 'Asphodèles', Nachzeichnung, Alle die Gräber, Interieur, Die Züge Deiner, In einer Stadt, Monolog, Du trägst, Ein Wort, Mittelmeerisch, Unanwendbar, Abschied .

Letztes Textblatt verso mit Stempel des Deutschen Literaturarchivs Marbach und dem Vermerk 'abgegeben an Prof. H. Steinhagen'; mit Kopie eines Schreibens desselben bezüglich der Provenienz. - Seit 2014 in hessischem Privatbesitz. LITERATUR: Lohner/Zenner 1.90. - Raabe 24, 24. - Dedication copy to his friend F.
