30 x 21cm, unpaginated (36pp). Card covers with two original designs by Nash in red, blue and black. First edition of this translation of Peret's poetry into Danish by Nash and illustrated throughout by the latter with a biographical note on the French poet by Lars Morell and 5 b/w reproductions of early dada and surrealist activities.

PRICE IS FOR THE ENTIRE GROUP OF 9 BOOKS AS A WHOLE

21 x 11cm, 112pp + wrappers. First edition of this consideration of the writings of Benjamin Peret, Breton loyalist, Spanish civil war veteran (with the Durutti column), member of both the Communist Party of France and then the Fourth International and finally social anthropologist. The editor Losfeld eventually republished Peret's collected works. Fine.

26 x 18cm, 48pp(pages numbered 121-168). Printed original wrappers. A single number of this literary review, this issue notable for printing the first published poem by the important Dadaist and Surrealist writer Benjamin Peret, entitled "Je Reve de Musique". Minor page toning, some signatures a bit roughly cut, stlll about near fine. Scarce and an interesting find.

21.5 x 16cm, 230pp. 12 b/w photo-documents. Pictorial wrappers. First edition of the Surrealist Peret's exacting translation of the great Mayan sacred text. Unqualified evidence of his decades long researches toward the antecedents of contemporary Hispanic cultural symbol. A close to fine example. Scarce.

30.8 x 23.8cm, 2pp. Black on green (Ca commerce bien!) and red on white (Familiers¦) - a double sided tract. The rare re-issue of this attack on the bourgeois appropriation of Rimbaud by critics on the centenary of the poet's birth as signed by Bedouin, Benayoun, Dax, Flamond, Goldfayn, Hantai, Lebreton, Legrand, Mitrani, Paalen, Peret, Pierre, Reigl, Schuster, Seghers, Toyen and Valore for the surrealist group (mostly those around Phases) and Michele Bernstein, Mohamed Dahou, Guy Debord, Jacques Fillon and Gil Wolman for the International Lettristes.

The original publication of the tract was produced only a few months beforehand but the surrealists had second thoughts and immediately withdrew their support for the text  (which had been originally written by one amongst their own number and signed as an act of solidarity by Debord etc). The surrealists apparently felt the text to be too leftist despite the original being from their own hand! Hence the reissue here by the the Surrealist Group with an additional printing on the back of the text: "Familiers du grand truc"  where many of the same signatories (now with Breton's name significantly added along with Meret Oppenheim and Nora Mitrami amongst others) denounced their former signatories in harsh terms (suggesting scandalously that they were Stalinists and future participants in Moscow show trials).

One closed paper tear (0.6 x 0.8cm) bottom right which does not affect the texts on either side and wear and tear around margins.

This is a rare publication in any condition from the early debates that led clearly to formation of the International Situationists after the splits of the 50s and 60s within the avant garde.

29.3 x 21.5cm, 136pp. A rare copy of the important book 'Nemoguce - L'Impossible' from 1930 - the almanac/manifesto of the 13 strong Serbian surrealist group.  This was the first publication of this manifest (which was later reprinted in part in the first edition of 'La surrealisme au service de la revolution' in Paris). Breton, Eluard, Peret, Aragon, Char and Therion also gave contributions to this extremely important, defining, publication.

The Serbian contributors and signatories to this manifesto document included Aleksandar Vuco, Oskar Davico, Milan Dedinac, Mladen Dimitrijevic, Vane Zivadinovic - Bor, Zivanovic - Noe, Đordje Jovanovic, Đordje Kostic, Dusan Matic, Branko Milovanovic, Koca Popovic, Petar Popovic and Marko Ristic.

Some wear to spine on both sides and minor paper loss around edges, surface paper loss to spine affecting spine title, some evidence of water damage in the past especially on rear wrappers but internally mostly very good although a few of the last pages have underlines and markings in pen. Priced accordingly but very rare in any condition.

12 numbers in 6 issues including the double number 10/11. Directeur Gerard Legrand.  Uniformly 25 x 30 cm. 3 to 7 pages per. All illustrated with numerous b/w drawings and reproductions of paintings and photographs. Photographic wrappers bound into printed publisher's paper over boards.

A complete run of this revue as bound into boards by the publisher at the end of the entire run. Bief was conceived as a supplement to "Surrealisme Meme" however it took on a life of its own given that Bief became more of a polemic vehicle than the former publication. Strident and wickedly funny at times. Contributions by Breton, Bedouin, Dax, Toyen, Paalen, Arp, Pierre, Peret, Lebel, Mayoux, Schuster, Mitrani, et. al. A near fine copy.

32.5 x 25.5 cm, 4pp. A lengthy text mostly by Breton in which the group condemned the activities of the Gallery Kleber which had organised the "Commemorative Ceremonies of the Condemnation of Siger de Brabant" - an exhibition with a catalogue text which argued for the return to "Christian" values. Given the gallery's owners were two former surrealists (Hentai and Mathieu) this was a double sin and the wrath of the group was made public. The surrealists (always anti-clerical) also took the chance to attack the Pope as the head of a tyranny.

Signed by Bedoin, Benayoun, Bona, Breton, Dax, Ivsic, Legrand, Mansour, Mitrani, Oppenheim, Peret, Schuster and Toyen amongst others this is a scarce publication. Some surface abrasion, minor light grubbiness and minor marking to outer surfaces and a printer's ink stain to the left side of the front page (none of which affects the text at any point) this is just below very good but certainly a useful and interesting document to have nonetheless. Priced thus.

21 x 13.5cm. 16pp. Original wrappers. The first edition of this counter- attack on Aragon after his own reposte to Breton in  "Misere de la Poesie"; with original contributions by Char, Crevel, Dali,  Eluard, Ernst, Peret, Tanguy, Thirion and Tzara.

The wrappers here have a former owner's name on the top left written in ink and some signs of dampness on the brown wrappers which have caused some stains and wrinkles but  internally all is VG. Scarce but priced to account for the condition issues.

22 x 16cm,  32pp. Original wrappers. First edition of this collective Surrealist publication. Issued in response to an article by Geroges Hugnet, which the authors took as an insult to the memory of Peret. This first publication of the ˜Association". A fine example in like dustwrapper with pasted-down title label. Very uncommon.

Paris: Editions Surrealistes, 1934

19 x 14cm, 1pp. Publisher's promotional leaflet for this poetic collection by Peret. Folded as issued. VG+.
