1930. · Seattle
by Bell, E[ric]. T[emple]. (a.k.a. "John Taine")
Seattle: University of Washington Book Store, 1930.. 40pp. Small octavo. Printed green laid paper wrapper over stiff wrapper. Spine faintly sunstruck, otherwise fine, untrimmed and unopened. First edition of this essay by the Scottish- American mathematician and fantasy fiction writer (the latter works written under his pseudonym, "John Taine"). Published as #44 in Glenn Hughes's highly important series of "University of Washington Chapbooks." An unknown, but small, number of copies of each title were signed by their authors/artists for the publisher and preserved and sold as sets. We've had two such sets over forty-plus years, and a portion of a third, from which this copy originates. Uncommon thus. (Inventory #: WRCLIT84450)
