SARTRE, JEAN-PAUL & ARTIE SHAW The Age of Reason by Jean-Paul Sartre. Translated from the French by Eric Sutton
New York Knopf 1948
Later printing. From the library of the great jazz musician, composer, and bandleader Artie Shaw and with his bookplate. Also, with a Ôfake' signed inscription on the front free endpaper from ÔJean-Paul Sartre' to Shaw, completely in the hand of Artie Shaw: ÒTo Artie Shaw, With sincere respect & profound admiration. Jean-Paul Sartre.Ó As it turns out, Artie Shaw signed and inscribed some of his books to himself, both as a security measure and as a private bit of humor. Given that Shaw was well known for his reluctance to give autographs, this is an opportunity to have not only his signature, but an element of his mischievous personality as well. Laid in is a copy of a 2-page typed signed document written by Shaw's personal assistant attesting to and explaining the quirky story behind the counterfeit nature of the signed inscriptions. Very good slightly used copy with some minor fading to the cloth at the spine without dust jacket. Arthur Jacob Arshawsky (1910 - 2004), better known as Artie Shaw, started out his career in music at thirteen as a saxophone player and switched to the clarinet at sixteen. He gained experience and skill while on the road at a young age which lead to steady work in the 30s as a session musician and performing with various bands and orchestras and on radio. His first critical acclaim came with his performance of ÒInterlude in B-flat" at a swing concert at the Imperial Theater in New York in 1935. And during the swing era, Shaw's big band enjoyed such enduring hits like Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" and Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust," "Back Bay Shuffle,Ó "Moonglow,Ó "Rosalie," "Frenesi," and "Summit Ridge Drive." He was known for his innovation both in his musical arrangements and for becoming the first white bandleader to hire a full-time black female singer, Billie Holiday, in 1938 to tour the then segregated southern United States. Throughout his career he worked with many of the great jazz musicians and vocalists of his day, including Helen Forrest, Mel Torme, drummers Buddy Rich and Dave Tough, guitarists Barney Kessel, Jimmy Raney, and Tal Farlow and trombonist-arranger Ray Conniff. A charismatic and complicated man, Shaw was married eight times, most notably to actresses Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Doris Dowling, and Evelyn Keyes, Betty Kern, the daughter of songwriter Jerome Kern, and ÔForever Amber' author Kathleen Winsor. In 2004, he was presented with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition to his musical career and accomplishments, he is the author of an autobiography, ÔThe Trouble With Cinderella: An Outline of Identity,' three short novels; ÔI Love You, I Hate You, Drop Dead!,' a collection of short stories, ÔThe Best of Intentions and Other Stories,' and an autobiographical novel titled ÔThe Education of Albie Snow,' which, sadly never made it to publication.

SARTRE, JEAN-PAUL & ARTIE SHAW The Psychology of Imagination
New York Philosophical Library 1948
First Edition - American. From the library of the great jazz musician, composer, and bandleader Artie Shaw with his bookplate. With a Ôfake' signed inscription on the front free endpaper from ÔJean-Paul Sartre' to Shaw, completely in the hand of Artie Shaw: ÒFor Artie, with respect & admiration. Your buddy, J.P.Ó As it turns out, Shaw signed and inscribed some of his books to himself, both as a security measure and as a private bit of humor. Given that Shaw was well known for his reluctance to give autographs, this is an opportunity to have not only his signature, but an element of his mischievous personality as well. Laid in is a copy of a 2-page typed signed document written by Shaw's personal assistant attesting to and explaining the quirky story behind the counterfeit nature of the signed inscriptions. Very good copy with a trace of edge wear and with the cloth at the bottom corner of the front board slightly torn in a very good lightly used and dust soiled dust jacket with some tiny nicks and small tears.
