| 3-1. | Bezzerides and Abadie, William Faulkner: A Life On Paper (1980): The transcript of a biographical film, with photographs. | first edition | (XL, VG/VG) | 25.00 |
| 3-2. | Blotner, William Faulkner's Library: A Catalogue (1964) | first edition | (XL, VG/ none, as issued) | 40.00 |
Strictly speaking this is not a biography, since it says nothing about Faulkner's life. Though perhaps this cataloge of the close to twelve hundred volumes owned by Faulkner and found by Blotner in 1964 in Rowan Oak, Charlottesville, or a farm outside of Oxford; sorted into many categories and indexed; says more about Faulkner than stories of drunken escapades. Kind reader, where would you list this book? It is hard to get - and I think quite informative. | ||||
| 3-3. | Blotner, Faulkner: A Biography (1974): The original two volume edition. | |||
To the best of my knowledge the first printing was issued in a slipcase and no dust jackets. The second printing eliminated the slipcase and added dust jackets priced $30.00 on the front flap. The book club edition had unpriced dust jackets and no slipcase. | ||||
| a) uncorrected proof | two volumes only, both VG | 75.00 | ||
The two volume Blotner biography appeared in proof form in three volumes. I have seen only two sets of proofs of this text, and this incomplete set is one of them. I have here parts one and three: part two, comprising chapters 32 through 50, is missing. I rate the chances of finding part two by itself as about the same as finding the three parts together - poor in both cases. The choice here may be getting two/thirds or getting none. | ||||
