Description
Two Dial Press Books, including: Michael Fessier. Clovis. Illustrated by Carlotta Petrina. New York: The Dial Press, 1948. Octavo. 189 pages. Several sketched illustrations throughout the text. Publisher's gray textured boards with a small illustration stamped in black on the front cover and the spine lettered in black. Yellow and green illustrated dust jacket. Minor rubbing to the covers and jacket, some tiny closed tears to the edges of the jacket, some toning to the endpapers. Altogether a very good copy. Michael Fessier, author and movie producer, penned this curious and satirical novel focused upon the life adventures of a highly intelligent and opinionated parrot, Clovis. [and:] Leonard Engel and Emanuel S. Piller. World Aflame: the Russian-American War of 1950. New York: The Dial Press, 1947. Octavo. 126 pages. Publisher's light peach textured boards with the front cover and spine lettered in maroon. Illustrated dust jacket. Some rubbing to the covers and jacket, tiny closed tears to the head and foot of the spine and to the top of the jacket front, a small notation on the front pastedown endpaper, some toning to the endpapers. Altogether a very good copy. A rather ominous novel written at the beginning of the Cold War, detailing the massive destruction that awaits the world if a physical nuclear war erupted between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Dial Press was founded in 1923, and was fully owned by Dell Publishing by 1969.Auction Info
