1 Greene, Graham LORD ROCHESTER'S MONKEY
New York Viking 1974 0670440558 / 9780670440559 Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket 
A Studio book; 1 x 9.9 x 7.5 Inches; 231 pages; Clean and tight in original brown cloth binding in very good pictorial dustjacket. "Lord Rochester's Monkey" was written between 1931 and 1934 and, because of the reputation of its subject, the notorious Restoration libertine and poet, the book failed to find a publisher. Rochester was the most prominent of rakes. He was also a fine lyrical and satirical poet whose work, in Greene's opinion, has been greatly underestimated, being overshadowed by his life of lechery and drunkenness, wild pranks and practical jokes. At court, Charles II suffered but respected Rochester's coruscating satires, joined in his erotic escapades and rewarded him with distinctions. Yet the last thirteen years of his life were "clouded by the fumes of drink" and literary quarrels. On his deathbed in 1680 - he was only 33 - he called for Dr Burnet and repented. His friend Etheridge wrote of him: "I know he is a devil, but had something of the angel yet undefac'd in him".

2 Greene, Graham THE HONORARY CONSUL (1st Edition)
London Bodley Head Ltd. 1973 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket 
1 x 9 x 6 Inches; Clean and tight in original green cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine in dustjacket with light rubbing at spine ends and corners and one 1/4" closed tear at top edge of front panel (now in protective mylar cover). Set in a provincial Argentinian town, Graham's novel takes place in that bleak country of exhausted passion, betrayal and absurd hope which he has explored so precisely in previous novels such as The Power and The Glory and The Comedians. At the centre is Plarr, perhaps the most moving and convincing figure in all of Graham's fiction.
