CONRAD, Joseph (1857–1924). Joseph Conrad on Stephen Crane. Ysleta, TX: Edwin B. Hill, 1932. 8vo, single sheet folded in half. FIRST EDITION, LIMITED ISSUE, one of 31 copies privately printed for friends of Vincent Starrett and Edwin B. Hill. In this unique letter, Joseph Conrad discusses his old friend Stephen Crane and his opinions of those literati who shunned the American writer during his lifetime. The partnership of Sherlock Holmes scholar Vincent Starrett and “the little man with the old hand press” Edwin B. Hill is one that has achieved near-mythic status in printing circles. Starrett would send a rare letter or pamphlet to Hill, who would then print a limited number of copies to be distributed (never sold) to friends and family.
