Ex-Libris John Ruyle, Part Four (KSRB Catalogue #63)

Ex-Libris John Ruyle, Part Four (KSRB Catalogue #63)

Part four of our series of catalogues featuring books passionately collected by the writer, publisher, and collector John Eric Ruyle (1934-2008), which we procured from Serendipity Books after the unfortunate passing of legendary bookseller Peter B. Howard. Ruyle, the creator of Berkeley’s fine press, Pequod Press, was a fervent collector of Sherlockiana and early science fiction, including books with only vague “occult” and “fantasy” elements. Books with balloons, airships, lost races and cities, tombs, clairvoyance, telepathy, ghosts, and possession. The impassioned spirit with which Ruyle approached his collection is immediately evident when one reads the detailed pencil notes he has left on the endpapers of many of his books. As a whole, this collection is lively and fun, and offers a pleasant escape from reality.
