| This quarterly publication was the constantly-updating biography of Faulkner's life after his death; a family newsletter, with all people remotely connected to William Faulkner considered as part of the family. Reports on new publications, new sales, new acquisitions, milestones, conferences, biographies, photographs, everything pertaining to the life, work or study of Faulkner that the editors knew about. If Faulkner was/is a friend to you the Newsletter is what you read for pleasure. Alas, it ceased publication several years ago. | ||||

| 13-14. | vinyl record: Faulkner Reads the Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech, and Sections From As I Lay Dying, A Fable, and "The Old Man" (1954, Caedmon Records TC 1035) | a) believed first pressing | (warped/G) | 5.00 |
| b) later pressing | (F/F) | 30.00 | ||
| The record sleeve for the first pressing bears a much nicer photograph than do the sleeves for later pressings. First pressings of this record were apparently in small quantity, as the overwhelming majority of copies I see are from the 1960s or later. While the material is currently available on cassette the original vinyl, even later pressings, is uncommon. | ||||
| 13-15. | vinyl record: Faulkner Reads From The Sound and the Fury and Light In August (1957, MGM #E3617 ARC) | original | (F/ink price on back of sleeve, a 3 3/4" piece of clear tape on an edge, else F) | 150.00 |
| This material has not been available in any form for thirty years. Records with material from these sessions are considerably more difficult to find than ones with the Caedmon recordings. It can fairly be said that this material is quite uncommon. | ||||
| 13-16. | filmstrip from Educational Dimensions (1973) | original | (VG) | 5.00 |
| This was originally part of a book/ cassette tape/ filmstrip set for use in schools. I just have the film. I don't know what machine would play it. With hundreds of images from Faulkner's life a purchaser could make prints as with slides. | ||||

| 13-32. | The Double Dealer magazine, February 1922 | original | (VG) | 75.00 |
| The Double Dealer was where Faulkner's career as a writer started. It was here that his first non-school prose was published; it was here that he got his first encouragement from an editor with some ability to evaluate ability. Though these issues do not contain Faulkner contributions (see items 6-1 and 6-2 for those) these issues showed the company he was to be keeping. All issues of this magazine are hard to find. | ||||

This does not contain material by Faulkner, but he is here. JWT Falkner is listed as a member of the Board of Trustees. Dorothy "Dot" Oldham, sister of Estelle, appears twice, once with a possible photo. And someone named Wm. Faulkner is listed as an "Honorary Member" of the Marionettes Club. This last entry is particularly interesting - in the 1923 yearbook he appeared in the same capacity as "William Falkner." An identity was taking place.
Page 213-4, with a non-Faulkner illustration on one side, blank on the back, was missing when I got this, and is now present in a color photocopy. The book otherwise is in very good condition. | ||||
| 13-39. | Swift, Last Orders (1996) | first edition, signed | (VG/VG) | 25.00 |
| A dead body needs to be buried. Nature, human and otherwise, conspire against the deed. Chapters are titled with character names, and are told by the title character. One chapter is one sentence long. I'm sure that readers of this catalog understand why I've included this book by an English author in this catalog. Amazingly, none of the members of the jury of one of the most prestigious literary prizes in the world had any idea where Swift had found his inspiration. | ||||
