BOOKS  He who sells a soul a book Gives that soul a sweeping look Through its pages Down the Ages;

Gives that soul a ship to sail Where the great adventures hail, On the sea Of destiny;

Gives that soul a vision-wide As the skies where stars abide And the far Lone planets are;

Gives that soul great dreams to Dream! Sunlit ways that glint and gleam

 Where great Sages Tramp the Ages!   WILLIAM LE ROY STIDGER

A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.   WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN

He who works with his hands is a laborer, He who works with his hands and his head is an artisan,

But he who works with his hands, his head, and his heart is an artist.  LOUIS NIZER

1 Butler, Samuel Erewhon and Erewhon Revisited MODERN LIBRARY # 136
New York The Modern Library 1927 Reprint Edition Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket 
MODERN LIBRARY # 136 Intro by Lewis Mumford "Erewhon, which was originally published anonymously, is a satirical romance of the experiences of a traveller who discovers an imaginary community ('Erewhon' ='Nowhere').

The book is the vehicle for Butler's very original ideas, such as the analogies between crime and disease and between evolution of the organs of our bodies and that of tools and machines outside our bodies. In the sequel, Erewhon Revisited, the original discoverer's son revisits the country, and the theological polemic of the first book is continued in vivid narrative, satire, and humour." RG4 Very good red cloth. Gilt titles. Some wear, previous owner name blacked out. Toledano Spine # 8. (Book Circa 1939). (1927), 12mo, xxvii, 622pp.

8 Butler, Samuel The Way of All Flesh
Garden City New York International Collectors Library 1964 Leatherette Fine No Jacket 
INTERNATIONAL COLLECTORS LIBRARY ``Butler died in 1902 & Flesh was published in 1903 (20 years after it was written). "Samuel Butler (4 or 5 December 1835 - 18 June 1902) was an iconoclastic Victorian author who published a variety of works. Two of his most famous pieces are the Utopian satire Erewhon and the posthumous novel The Way of All Flesh. He is also known for examining Christian orthodoxy, substantive studies of evolutionary thought, studies of Italian art, and works of literary history and criticism. Butler also made prose translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey which remain in use to this day. His influence on literature, such as it was, came through The Way of All Flesh, which Butler completed in the 1880s but left unpublished in order to protect his family. And yet the novel, begun in 1870 and not touched after 1885, was so modern when it was published in 1903, that it may be said to have started a new school, particularly in the use of psychoanalytical modes of thought in fiction, which "his treatment of Ernest Pontifex [the hero of Butler's novel] foreshadows."
