Samuel Beckett first editions

First edition; 16 vols, 8vo; includes signed edition of 'Waiting for Godot', limited to 200 numbered copies; publisher's black cloth, spine and front cover stamped and lettered in gold. Some interesting marginalia to the first volume, spines uniformly faded as always. An excellent set.

First Calder edition, first impression; 8vo; publisher's purple boards, titles to spine gilt, with the dust jacket, very lightly toned on the verso and with a couple of trivial scuffs; a superb copy, uncommon thus.

High quality half tone image of Beckett mounted on tan card and signed on the mount; in fine condition.

First trade edition, first printing (only preceded by the private edition of just 35 numbered copies); small 8vo; somewhat browned internally as always with the papier courant issue; original wrappers printed in blue and black, in the very early, if not original glassine, very light vertical crease to backstip but an absolutely stunning copy and rare thus; contained in a custom-made, blue cloth drop-down box.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; publisher's red cloth, titles to spine gilt, with the photographic dust jacket; a near-fine copy in the somewhat rubbed dust jacket.

First edition, first impression, one of 100 copies on hand-made paper signed by Beckett; intriguing doodle in ink to the title page of what I feel must be Pim and Pim [sic] the creatures of this remarkable book; original full tan morocco, t.e.g., unopened; a beautiful copy in the very slightly marked slipcase.

Vintage monochrome print from the original negative, with the Brassai studio stamp to the verso, inscribed by the photographer on the verso; a little rubbing at the very edges and signs of very light creasing, annotations and some light tape support to the verso, otherwise a sharp, fresh, glossy example; 295 x 235 mm, framed and glazed 470 x 395 mm.

First edition in English, first impression; 8vo; publisher's red cloth, titles to spine gilt, with the photographic dust jacket, a near-fine copy in the little sunned dust jacket, with a small internal stain at the foot of the spine panel.

First UK edition, first impresion; 8vo; publisher's black and white boards, titles to spine in black, with the dust jacket; an exemplary copy in the minimally sunned dust jacket.
