DE GOURMONT, Remy. Mr. Antiphilos, Satyr. Trans. from the French by John Howard. With an introduction by Jack Lewis. New York: Lieber and Lewis. 1922. 8vo. First American edition. The first issue orange binding, and without the Albert & Charles Boni title leaf dated 1924, as called for. Publisher’s orange cloth lettered in black to the spine and upper board, in the dust jacket. A very good copy, the cloth clean and bright, a trifle pushed at crown and foot, the binding tight and square. The contents with ink inscription to the front endpaper, some mild toning throughout, prelims with very faint spots, else clean. The dust jacket unclipped ($2.00 net), gently rubbed at corners and tips with one or two small chips, but a bright copy overall and quite uncommon in the dust jacket.
A perhaps lesser work by the important and once-widely-read French Symbolist, about a sexual creature who is lured by a woman to a town, and induced to live among modern men and women.
