Baldwin, James. (1924 - 1987) [Pakay, Sedat. (1945–2016)]. "The Fire Next Time" . London: Michael Joseph Ltd. 1963. First Edition, First Impression. 8vo. Hardcover in dj. 112 pp.  From the library of artist and filmmaker Sedat Pakay. In the original unclipped dustjacket, original publisher's cloth binding. Externally very fine and internally, firmly bound and clean throughout but for some occasional pencil markings by Pakay. Dustwrapper edgeworn with some chips, else fine. 

The uncommon first impression of the first U.K. edition of these two influential James Baldwin essays, focusing on race in America: "My Dungeon Shook: Letter to my Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Emancipation" and "Down at the Cross: Letter from a Region of My Mind. Originally published in American magazines in 1962, 'The New Yorker' and 'The Progressive', they were generally considered to be some of the most influential works on race relations of the 1960s.  

Sedat Pakay, a photographer and friend who chronicled Baldwin’s time in Istanbul, where he lived off and on for a decade or so, beginning in 1961.  "His overlooked sojourn was a period of prodigious creative production and collaboration with Turkish artists, in a place he came to regard as a sanctuary — despite Turkey’s own political turbulence — from the racism, homophobia and scarring civil rights struggle back home." (Washington Post)
