To the List,
The pdf I sent in of Mr Goldwasser's catalogue didn't make it into the post. So here is a description of this incredible catalogue:
The Traub collection, put together over a forty-year span, includes
both Russian and English first editions, contributions to
books and periodicals from Nabokov’s years in Europe and
America, many other significant editions, including
translations into a variety of languages. There are working
manuscripts for two interviews, and substantial
correspondence, the majority dealing with writing and
publishing.
Interesting provenances and presentation copies include books
from Nabokov’s own library, gifts to Véra, books inscribed to
scholars, publishers and other friends, review copies from
the libraries of Graham Greene, V.S. Pritchett, John Updike
and others.
The catalogue is arranged as follows, allowing for a few
inconsistencies:
Manuscripts, letters, documents, Nos. 1-9
Books by Nabokov, including translations of his works and some
adaptations and movie memorabilia, Nos. 10-232.
Books with contributions, 233-242
Periodicals with contributions, 243-253
Miscellaneous, 254 - end
There remains unlisted more paperback editions, and volumes of
criticism or scholarship, please inquire if interested.
