Samuel Beckett

Does anybody know of any fine press editions of Samuel Beckett's work? Other than the Lord John Press edition and Arion's play based on "Waiting for Godot," I'm coming up short.

Would this author interest collectors?

There is Nohow On from the late-Schiff LEC.

In addition to the LEC, I believe Iowa Center for the Book had an edition of his novella 'Company'. Salvage Press published 'Imagination Dead Imagine'. Rampant Lions Press published 'As the story was told'. I'm sure there are others I don't know about. Yolla Bolly 'The Bread of Days' was translated by Beckett.

>3 MyrddinWyllt: How did I miss the Salvage Press "Imagination Dead Imagine"?? And I'll have to look up the Iowa Center "Company," thank you!!

I actually saw the Rampant Lions Press "As the story was told" when I visited Christopher Ricks, who edited the volume, and who has introduced No Reply's "Prufrock". He said that he proposed the project to Mr. Carter (I forget which) with zero expectation that he'd take it up. It's a weird one!

I've only got the AP Godot but the non fine press Grove Press four volume set is well worth acquiring.

Beginning to End - Gotham Book Mart
All Strange Away - Gotham Book Mart
The North - Enitharmon Press (Printed by Rampant Lions Press)
Stirrings Still - Blue Moon Books
The Lost Ones - New Overbrook Press
Dream of Fair to Middling Women - Black Cat Press

John Calder, London published a few different Beckett books and collections, some more Fine Press than others.

Not Fine Press, but Folio just released their new edition of Waiting for Godot.
