BOOKS FROM JOHN FOWLES' PERSONAL LIBRARY

Note: the following books come from the personal library of John Fowles, and each bears at least one ownership mark: Fowles' bookplate, his circular blind stamp (John Fowles/Lyme Regis) or his autograph signature.

Life of C.H. Spurgeon for Young People by Joseph Manton Smith (Passmore and Alabaster, 1892), 1st edition. Very good minus in wraps with lower two inches of spine missing. Fowles' bookplate on flyleaf with his typed note: "Spurgeon was one of the great movers of the middle class." $40.00.

The Lady of La Garaye by The Hon. Mrs. Norton (Macmillan, London, 1863). Near-fine in maroon boards with gilt titles and trim. Fowles' bookplate on front pastedown, with earlier owner signatures on the second and third pages from 1875 and 1889. On the first blank page, Fowles has written: "First edition of a bestseller of the 1860's. The Edinburgh Review said 'The poem is a pure, tender, touching tale of pain, sorrow, love, duty, piety and death'--surely as nice a string of mid-Victorian nouns as one could want." Following this, he has written a seven-line blurb about the author. $250.00.
