Greetings to All.



The below items are available at substantially reduced prices today
(Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) subject to the terms set forth below:


Todd, Mabel Loomis [Editor]
Cycle of Sonnets

Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1896. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. A
Fine, Superior, Beautiful copy of the first edition, first printing [with
scattered light foxing within], in the RARE ORIGINAL DUST JACKET which
shows only light wear and a bit of chipping — the ONLY COPY in the dust
jacket that we ever have seen. The offsetting to the pastedowns and
endpapers shows that this particular jacket is the ORIGINAL DUST JACKET.
The viewer will notice, of course, that the dust jacket is plain as it is
from the period when jackets were used not to market and sell the book but
only to keep the book clean until put out for sale. Virtually all of the
dust jackets for the book would have been discarded. Such jackets thus
lacked the decoration one sees on later-published books and also often did
not show one or all of the title, the author, or the publisher — all three
being absent from this dust jacket, as the dust jacket's sole purpose was
to keep the book clean until it was put out for sale. Thus, this book is
RARE in a dust jacket, especially so in a jacket as nice as is this one and
is a part of book publishing history, making it an important copy as well.
The top and bottom edges of the closed page block are trimmed, the top edge
is in gilt, and the leading edge us untrimmed. A QUITE SCARCE TO RARE copy
as well as a COLLECTION-DISTINGUISHING COPY.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The author of the sonnets is anonymous, and is
thought to be a male friend of Todd's. Todd, of course, also edited Emily
Dickinson's Poems -- which were also published by Roberts Bros. in the same
decade, also in plain jackets, as noted in correspondence of Todd and the
publisher. But no jacket on Dickinson's books is known to survive. This
book of sonnets may be the closest obtainable and comparable example of the
jackets that Roberts Brothers used on Emily Dickinson's books. RARE INDEED.
Fine / very good +. Item #3356

Price: $4,875.00  TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE FOR $955.


Hearn, Lafcadio; [Koizumi Yakumo]
Youma: The Story of a West-Indian Slave [in the RARE 19th Century DUST
JACKET]

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1890. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover.
Fine copy of the first edition, first printing, in the Publisher's original
decorated cloth with the title label applied to the front board and the
title and author label applied to the spine panel (the spine shows some
minor sunning, most notably to the spine label due to the dust jacket cut
out -- see below, and the boards show some minor corner rubs; multiple
pages are unopened, or are only partially opened, on their leading fold,
showing the book to have been only partially read -- or possibly entirely
unread); in a Very Good + example of the EXCEEDINGLY RARE UNSOPHISTICATED
dust jacket -- original to this copy of the book -- with scattered small
tears and chips and with the arc over the spine label split on one side and
nearly so on the other. The viewer will notice, of course, that the dust
jacket is plain as it is from the period when jackets were used not to sell
the book but only to keep the book clean until put out for sale. Virtually
all of the dust jackets for the book would have been discarded. The viewer
also will see that the jacket's spine panel was long ago clipped to reveal
the author's last name and the book's title — a common warehouse practice —
which would have made locating the book on the warehouse shelves easier
than otherwise would have been the case. At the time this book was issued,
dust jackets were not generally used to help sell the book and thus lacked
the decoration one sees on later-published books. Such jackets also often
did not show one or all of the title, the author, or the publisher — all
three being absent from this dust jacket, as the dust jacket's sole purpose
was to keep the book clean until it was put out (typically without the dust
jacket) for sale. Thus, this book is EXCEEDINGLY RARE in the dust jacket
and is a part of book publishing history, making it an important copy as
well. Lafcadio Hearn is known for this works about Japan, New Orleans, and
the West Indies. Hearn, an Irish Immigrant to America, lived in Cincinnati
where Hearn, on June 14,1874, married Alethea ("Mattie") Foley, a
20-year-old African American woman, an action in violation of Ohio's
then-existing anti-miscegenation law. (Hearn and Foley later separated then
attempted reconciliation several times before finally divorcing in 1877.)
Subsequent to his divorce, Hearn relocated to New Orleans from which, in
1887, Harper's Magazine sent him to the West Indies as a correspondent.
Hearn spent two years in Martinique writing for the magazine and it was
there that he gathered enough material to write both "Two Years in the
French West Indies" and "Youma, The Story of a West-Indian Slave" each of
which was published in 1890, the year that Hearn emigrated to Japan where
he died (and was buried) at age 54. In our experience, each of these West
Indies works are exceedingly difficult to find on the market in their
original dust jackets. (The first edition, first issue, dust jacket for
each book would have lacked both lettering and decoration.) Notably,
Hearn's West Indies writings constitute the great majority of Hearn's
Western Writings. A Fine copy of this notable work of the highly-notable
author Lafcadio Hearn in the RARE ORIGINAL PLAIN 19th CENTURY DUST JACKET
-- the EARLIEST JACKETED HEARN BOOK on the market at the time this listing
was created. An EXCEEDINGLY RARE COPY IN THE ORIGINAL, UNSOPHISTICATED,
19th CENTURY DUST JACKET; A REMARKABLE SURVIVAL. Fine / very good +. Item
#895. Fine / fine. Item #2779

Price: $3,550.00   TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE FOR $725.


Bayly, A. Eric
The House of Strange Secrets: A Detective Story

New York: E. P. Dutton & Company, 1899. First Edition. Hardcover. A Very
Good + copy of the first edition, first printing in a Very Good + or better
example of the RARE dust jacket, bound in the Publisher's original green
cloth with the front board lettered in gilt and decorated both in gilt and
in blind, and the spine panel lettered in gilt and decorated in blind. Each
hinge of the volume is broken open but the volume is otherwise in
remarkably nice condition with only light wear to the leading corners and
spine extremities. While the dust jacket shows soiling, it is remarkably
complete and shows only a light bit of wear. This novel presents a mystery
set in the English countryside wherein the reader finds old men with
secrets, secret passages, strange bloodcurdling noises, and a pair of
amateur detectives. Copies of the book in the first edition are rather
uncommon and are QUITE SCARCE TO RARE IN THE DUST JACKET -- a REMARKABLE
FIND still wearing its turn of the century dust jacket. Near fine / very
good +. Item #3319

Price: $3,200.00 TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE FOR $600.00.


Acker, Paul; Ardouin-Dumazet; des Gachons, Jacques; Geniaux, Charles; Le
Goffic, Charles; Merki, Charles; Paillon, Maurice; Sedeyn, Emile; and
Spont, Henri
Le Tour De France

Paris: Publication du Tour de France, 1911. First Edition, First
Printing. Wrappers.
A remarkable Fine copy of the first edition, first printing in the
Publisher's original wrappers still wearing the RARE ORIGINAL TRANSLUCENT
DUST JACKET. The volume is in unusually attractive condition with only mild
wear and the exceedingly ephemeral dust jacket shows some general wear and
tear but its very existence is quite surprising if not stunning. The jacket
wraps around the entire book (excluding only the page block's top and
bottom edges) and was issued with seals that affixed its opposite ends to
each other. Unsurprisingly, the seals have broken -- either by age and
handling or to enable someone to look at the page rectos and versos. [Being
ephemeral, most examples of the dust jacket used in the series of like
books issued by the Publisher over the course of years -- of which this
book is an excellent example -- would have perished over time or have been
discarded.] The book appears to have been unread as most of the page pairs
remain unopened at the page block's top edge. (An example of this is shown
in one of the images of the book that we have. We would be happy to provide
the multiple images we have taken to potential buyers of the book as well
as to researchers.) The book is replete with images, including some maps,
and city/townscapes. [Please note that the volume is not about the bicycle
race but is instead about the beautiful country of France. This is a heavy
book and requires shipment by Priority Mail. Buyer's shipping cost will
exceed the amount quoted by this site.] A. Fine / near fine. Item #2974

Price: $2,350.00  TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE FOR $525.


[Peck, George Wilbur]
Peck's Bad Boy: RARE POSTER FOR PLAY

[None Stated]: [Non Stated], [1884]. First Edition. No Binding. A Very Good
RARE ORIGINAL WOODBLOCK POSTER for a stage play featuring Peck's Bad Boy.
Civil War Veteran, Politician, and Author George Wilbur Peck (1840-1916),
who owned a Wisconsin newspaper known as the "Sun", authored a humorous
weekly newspaper column which often featured a character of his own
invention named Henry "Hennery" Peck who first appeared in 1882. The
character was tremendously popular and became known as "Peck's Bad Boy".
Peck went on to write a series of books' featuring Hennery Peck who was
known for pulling pranks on members of the town, but most especially on his
father, for the pure joy of causing trouble and chaos. Peck began writing
these stories, which were turned into books as well, in the early 1880s.
'Peck's Bad Boy' became a household name in the United States and was so
popular that he entered the American lexicon with the dictionary definition
of "Peck's bad boy" being "one whose bad behavior is a source of
embarrassment or annoyance". Charles E. Pidgin adapted the first story into
a stage play, and various companies began performing the Play around the
country. In 1891, then teenager and vaudeville actor George M. Cohan toured
for thirty-five weeks in the role of Hennery. After many of Cohan's
performances, he had to fight his way out of the theater as neighborhood
boys would be waiting in alleyways to test their fighting abilities against
those of Hennery Peck, who ended the Play by stating 'I can still lick any
kid in town!'. Notably, these Bad Boy stories became so fashionable for a
time that Mark Twain was criticized for jumping on the bandwagon with Huck
Finn and the New York World published a review which said: "Were Mark
Twain's reputation as a humorist less well founded and established, we
might say that this cheap and pernicious stuff is conclusive evidence that
its author has no claim to be ranked with Artemus Ward, Sydney Smith, Dean
Swift, John Hay, or any other recognized humorist above the grade of the
author of that outrageous fiction, 'Peck's Bad Boy.'" [A silent film was
made in 1921 starring Jackie Coogan. After Peck's death, his "Peck's Bad
Boy" writings became the basis for several films and a television show.]
This is a Very Good copy of this RARE poster showing some mild scattered
water staining as well as some edge wear and chipping, folds, and some
complete and some partial tears within the sections, but with the colors
remaining rather rich and vibrant. The Poster is comprised of six (6)
sections and was designed to be posted outside where it would be subject to
the sunlight, rain, snow, and other weather conditions. The sections have
interior margins whereupon the adjoining section(s) would be laid such that
the final complete poster -- which would have glue applied to each
section's verso for mounting to a wall or other surface -- once mounted,
would show only the exterior margin. Once thusly prepared and mounted, the
Poster could not be removed without destroying it. (The Poster remains in
its original six sections. We have left some interior margin exposed in two
of the photographs posted with this listing.) Consequently, few copies
would have survived to the present day. This copy never was used and is a
REMARKABLE SURVIVOR which was found in a barn and thus was neither
vulnerable to the fading caused by sunlight nor to the other damage that it
would have suffered had it been exposed to the weather. Once properly
arranged as if it were to be posted, the Poster measures approximately 6
feet 10 inches X 6 feet 10 inches. A RARE UNSOPHISTICATED POSTER AND A
REMARKABLE SURVIVOR. RARE INDEED. Very good. Item #2758

Price: $2,350.00  TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE FOR $525.


Lord Macaulay; Macaulay, Thomas Babington
Lays of Ancient Rome with Ivry and The Armada [New Edition]

London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1884. New Edition. Hardcover. A Very Good
to Very Good + copy of Lord Macaulay's most famous literary work bound in
red cloth with the spine lettered in gilt, the front board attractively
lettered and illustrated, and the closed page block edges in gilt as well.
(The cloth shows a dark portion at the top edge where the jacket does not
cover the cloth.) The text is illustrated with Forty-One (41) illustrations
of various sizes by J. R. Weguelin. First published in 1842, this QUITE
SCARCE JACKETED volume presents great Roman tales here retold by Thomas
Babington Macaulay (also known as Lord Macaulay). In four of these,
Macaulay recounts in poetic form four heroic episodes from early Roman lore
with strong dramatic and tragic themes. Macaulay also included two poems
inspired by more recent history: Ivry and The Armada. The narrative poems,
or lays, by Thomas Babington Macaulay, are titled "Horatius" [which
describes how Publius Horatius and two companions, Spurius Lartius and
Titus Herminius, hold the Sublician bridge, the only span crossing the
Tiber at Rome, against the Etruscan army of Lars Porsena, King of Clusium,
each of them willing to die in order to prevent the enemy from crossing the
bridge, and sacking the otherwise ill-defended city.] "The Battle of Lake
Regillus" [which celebrates the Roman victory over the Latin League at the
Battle of Lake Regillus. Several years after the retreat of Lars Porsena
and the Etruscans, Rome was threatened by a Latin army led by the deposed
Roman king, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, together with his son, Titus
Tarquinius, and his son-in-law, Octavius Mamilius, prince of Tusculum. In
conscious imitation of the renowned Homer, the work includes several
finely-described single combats]. "Virginia" [which describes the tragedy
of Virginia, the only daughter of Virginius, a poor Roman farmer. The
wicked Appius Claudius, a member of one of Rome's most noble patrician
families, and head of the college of decemvirs, desires the beautiful and
virtuous Virginia. He initiates legal proceedings, claiming Virginia as his
"runaway slave", knowing that his claim will be endorsed by the corrupt
magistracy over which he and his cronies preside. Driven to despair,
Virginius resolves to save his daughter from Claudius' lust by any
means—even her death is preferable.] and "The Prophecy of Capys" [which
narrates Romulus and Remus triumphal arrival at the house of their
grandfather, Capys, a blind old man who then enters a prophetic trance
foretelling the future greatness of Romulus' descendants, and their
ultimate victory over their enemies in the Pyrrhic and Punic wars. The two
additional poems also are of the highest quality. The first work, "Ivry, a
Song of the Huguenots" celebrates a 1590 battle won by Henry IV of France
and his Huguenot forces over the superior forces of the Catholic League.
While Henry's succession to the French throne was contested by those who
refused to accept a Protestant king of France, his great victory left him
the only credible claimant to the French crown he was unable to overcome
all his opposition until he converted to Catholicism in 1593. "The Armada:A
Fragment" which describes the arrival at Plymouth in 1588 of news of the
sighting of the Spanish Armada, and the lighting of beacons to covey the
news not only to London but to all of England. Philip II of Spain had sent
his Armada holding his army to invade England and to depose the Protestant
Queen Elizabeth. While his fleet was considered by many to be invincible,
the invasion was thwarted by a combination of England's vigilance and by
her forces' tactics that took advantage of the size and poor
maneuverability of the Armada's ships. Composed by Macaulay in his spare
time during his thirties while employed as a member of the Governor-General
of India's Supreme Council from 1834 to 1838 of them, Macaulay once
recounted that their composition occurred to him in the jungle at the foot
of the Neilgherry hills, with most of the verses being created during what
he called "a dreary sojourn" at Ootacamund and a "disagreeable" voyage
taken by him in the Bay of Bengal. His great work in which he intended was
to create poems resembling those that might have been sung in ancient
times, were were first published by Longman in 1842, at the beginning of
the Victorian Era. They became immensely popular, and were standard reading
in British public schools for over a century. Winston Churchill memorized
the four Roman Lays while at Harrow School and there won an award for
memorizing and declaiming all 1200 lines of Macaulay's text, demonstrating
that, notwithstanding is less than great academic performance at Harrow, he
was capable of giving a remarkable oratorical performance, a trait that
served both him and England later in his life. Notably In two films ["Into
The Storm" (2009) and "Darkest Hour" (2017)], Churchill is depicted
reciting Horatius' speech while serving Prime Minister during the Second
World War. [Please note: the RARE DUST JACKET shows a tear to the front
panel's turn to the front flap as well as a shorter tear where the spine
panel turns to the front panel. Small pieces of archival tape have been
applied to the jacket's verso at the internal extremes of such tears to
prevent them from lengthening. As to the larger tear, it is quite visible
in the first image with this listing -- while the second image shows the
jacket in a protective cover that holds the tear closed. The dust jacket
also has some tiny edge tears and a linear indent to the upper front panel.
A prior owner has written the author and title information to the upper
spine panel.] Copies in the dust jacket as early as is this one are
EXTRAORDINARILY SCARCE and perhaps RARE. Very good + / very good. Item #3231

Price: $2,250.00  TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE FOR $585.


VARIOUS AUTHORS
Photographic Record of 70th Infantry from U.S. Camps to Europe, 1917-19 -
Scarce; 70th WWI Regiment

A photographic record of an American soldier’s experience of service in the
70th Infantry Regiment. Photos depict the soldier’s travels to U.S.
destinations, army camps to the 462nd Air Squadron in France (Special
Orders Document Enclosed). 260, 2 ¼” x 3 ¼” photos begin with scenes shot
from a boat entering NY harbor apparently returning from war in France.
Photographic scenes progress in this general order: NY Harbor, Long Beach,
NY; Kelly Field, TX; 48th Air Squadron, Mineola and Hempstead, L.I., NY;
multiple locations in France, crashed planes, Morocco, Monte Carlo, London,
Edinburgh, Camp Pontanezen, France and Weissenthurm, Germany. Photos range
in size to include 1 ¾” x 2 ½”. 2 ¼” x 3 ¼”, and 2 ½” x 4 ¼”. Most photos
are clear with about 10% unclear. Half the white captions are difficult to
read. Some require a 8X lupe and others are missing or faded away.
Photographic records of the WWI 70th Infantry are scarce. The album appears
to begin with the soldier’s return in 1919 while his experience in war-time
France is shown in the back. Ephemera includes orders to report to Air
Squadron in France dated April 28, 1918, an arm patch and a flyer for a
musical produced by members of the 462nd Aero Squadron. See next to last
photo. Item #3140

London, Jack
Burning Daylight

New York: Macmillan, 1914. Later Printing. Hardcover. A Fine copy of this
early printing in the Publisher's original red cloth in a less than Very
Good example of the RARE DUST JACKET, being [along with "Call of the Wild"
(1903) and "White Fang" (1906)], one of London's famed Alaskan novels. The
book wears the Publisher's original red cloth with the front board and
spine lettered and decorated in pale yellow. The volume contains a
frontispiece and seven addition illustrations. While the dust jacket shows
some chips and tears and is missing approximately half of the spine panel,
its very existence is remarkable. Macmillan published the first American
edition of "Burning Daylight" in 1910. It became one of the best-selling
books of that year and was the best-selling of all of London's works. Of
the book, London stated: “I show a successful superman who at the end of
his triumph and career throws his 30 million dollars to the winds in order
to win a greater thing, namely, love.” We emphasize that this is a not a
Grosset edition, but rather is a genuine Macmillan edition that was printed
during London's lifetime. Copies of the first American editions of London's
works in nice condition and wearing their original jackets generally sell
for thousands of dollars and Macmillan reprints of London's firsts still
wearing their dust jackets are themselves rare and often bring high prices
on their own. This is a quite nice, bright, clean, and square binding with
strong hinges and clean leaves, without any prior owner's names, and in a
jacket virtually never seen. It is part of a 50-cent series that Macmillan
issued. Copies as nice as is this copy are exceedingly difficult to find
and copies in any condition still wearing the dust jacket are, in our
experience, RARE INDEED. Fine / good +. Item #3263. Fine / good +. Item
