Yellow cloth, titled in maroon on spine with color pictorial vignette to front cover; dark green topstain; 121pp. Light soiling to cloth, else a straight, tight, Near Fine copy. In the original pictorial dustwrapper, unclipped (priced $1.50 on front flap), lightly soiled but generally bright and unfaded, Very Good+. Zweig's controversial novella, originally published in the Viennese newspaper Neue Freie Presse in 1922. The story, filled with Freudian references, deals with the romantic obsession of an abortionist with one of his patients, leading finally to her death and his suicide - almost needless to say, this was hardly the drink of choice for Americans in the Great Depression; the print run must have been small and sales smaller still, as today the book is unexpectedly scarce in commerce, and rarely found in nice condition.

2007. GOLDYNE, Joseph. The Invisible Collection. By Stefan Zweig. Illustrated with an original etching by Joseph Goldyne. 8vo, 230 x 140 mm., bound in original black morocco-backed sepia-coloured paper over boards. New York: Ursus Books, 2007. A handsome new edition of this classic fable about collecting. Zweig's story, set in Germany in the aftermath of the First World War, is timeless. It eloquently evokes the magic of collecting, the excitement of dealing and the pleasures and complexities of ownership. Joseph Goldyne, the distinguished California artist who is himself a renowned collector, has thoughtfully produced an illustration which successfully solves the problem of how to illustrate a book, which on first reading would seem to defy the concept of illustration. Peter Koch has designed and printed as elegant a version of Zweig's story as one could hope for. One of an edition of only 50 copies elegantly printed by Peter Koch in San Francisco, and containing a signed etching by Joseph Goldyne. The colophon is signed by both Peter Koch and Joseph Goldyne. As new. Bringhurst, Robert. JOSEPH GOLDYNE: Catalogue Raisonné of Books, Portfolios, and Calligraphic Sheets, 008.
