The Library of Stephen J. Farber

Freeman's - Chicago Sale #6501: This spring, Freeman’s is pleased to present The Library of Stephen J. Farber. Over the course of nearly seven decades, Mr. Farber assembled superb copies of some of the most important works of literature ever printed. Highlights include a near-pristine first edition of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four with the scarce original wraparound band; numerous original printings of works by Edgar Allan Poe, among them a first printing of “The Raven” in the exceptionally scarce original wrappers; a first edition set of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings; and Mary Wollstonecraft’s foundational feminist text, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.
