written in English, including the various essays and biographies about him. The bibliography on
the following link is from my own collection or from advertisements from dealers in regards to the
books descriptions. Currently, I am mainly working on pre-1970 books, books after this date I will
include as funds and time permit.
The titles in Bold are ones that I
personally own, Bold/Italics are books that
I have seen (in libraries and such) but do
not own, normal print are books that I
have not seen nor own but are listed in
catalogues.
Next to the title, if the work is a biography,
the author’s name is in parenthesis
The publisher is stated as city of
publication: name of publisher
The book description is given with length x
width x thickness in the nearest 0.5cm.
Total number of pages is the physical
amount of pages minus the two end
pages in hardbound editions. This
number is given in parenthesis throughout
the description; the actual printed page
number is given in brackets.
In the “Notes” section, any unusual
attributes to the specific printing is given.
Finally, the price is the average of the
available books found at abebooks.com,
which I try to update frequently.
New York: Castle and Paris: Le Ballet Des Muses
Castle obtains the license from New York & London: British Book
Centre, edits the stories and uses cheap paper in their
hardbound editions.
Le Ballet takes already printed material in English (i.e. Dawes: Life
and Works) and produces cheap paperbacks which are
sometimes sold for a higher price than the original since it is from
France.
The Marquis de Sade: His Life and Works
by C.R. Dawes
Originally published by London: Robert
Holden and Company as a one hundred
copy limited edition in 1927. Later was
mass produced a hardbound edition by
the same publisher of an unknown
quantity. Had two further reprints that I
know of, the first is the Le Ballet Des
Muses which is lacking the copyright date
(published prior to 1954) and the
Macaulay Co. edition which is also lacking
a copyright date.
