About This Item

Title-page vignette and decorative endpapers by Dean Bornstein. Bottom corner of front cover lightly bent. Still, quite a fine copy. Prospectus laid in. Ansen was Auden's student at the New School between November, 1946 and May, 1947, and then served as the poet's secretary and amanuensis. He kept a record of his conversations with Auden. "In the tradition of Hester Thrale's Johnsoniana, or Eckermann's Geothe, these conversations—though they are really monologues—record the private, extemporaneous and often outrageous musings of one of the great poets of our century" (prospectus).

About Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
