  KANIN, Fay & Michael Rashomon
Random House New York (1959) First First edition. Fine in very lightly soiled, near fine dustwrapper. Advance Review Copy with slip laid in. A play based on the famous stories of Ryunosuke Akutagawa. This version of the tale was televised in 1960 with Ricardo Montalban and Oskar Homolka under the direction of Sidney Lumet. In 1964 co-author Michael Kanin adapted his play to film for director Martin Ritt. Given a Western setting and entitled The Outrage, it starred Paul Newman, Laurence Harvey, Claire Bloom, Edward G. Robinson, William Shatner, and Howard Da Silva. A nice copy of an uncommon play.

  NIN, Anais Anais Nin Reader
Swallow Denver (1972) First First edition. Unbound galley sheets. Each sheet printed rectos only onthin proofing paper and laid into a dustwrapper. Some wear to the edges of several pages, this set was apparently read. A somewhat unusual, as well as ungainly method of producing proofs, we assume virtually none of these have survived.
