Item Details
Description
Collection Of Henry Miller First Editions, Books, & Letter. Books include: Black Spring, 1936, Signed and inscribed "To Beatrice Heide, Henry Miller, Paris 6/38"; Scenario (A Film With Sound), 1937, No. 45/200; Money And How It Gets That Way, 1938; The Rosy Crucifixion, Book One, Sexus, 1950 (second edition); The Rosy Crucifixion, Book Two, Plexus, Vols. I & II, No. 128/2000 and 134/2000. Letter Reads: "Dear Beatrice Heide- Only recently Betty Ryan gave me your address. I discovered, in asking her about you, that you once lent me a hundred dollars- probably when I was desperate. Did I ever pay you back? If not, please let me know. I don't know how I could have overlooked such a kindness. All the best! Henry Miller." Included note from original owner, artist Beatrice Heide, reads "Because they are so fragile (cheap papers) I had them bound (intact) in Chappaqua. I guess I thought they were all first editions. Some are autographed. (NB- The drawings in one of them [Money And How It Gets That Way] are not Miller's. Some young student in Montparnasse made free with them, while I wasn't looking)." Books have been rebound, with original paper covers or dust cover bound within. Money And How It Gets That Way has drawings throughout (see previous note). Beatrice Heide is purported to have been a friend of Miller, and to have known him while they were both working in Paris in the 1930's. Largest approximately 10.625H x 7.125W x 0.75D in. Smallest approximately 7.25H x 5.5W x 0.375D in.
