With Wheatley's illustrated bookplate. A near fine copy of the first 'Slim Callaghan' novel, in fine and thus rare dust jacket. Cheyney's action-filled and action filled plots ran counter to the comfortable murder mysteries of the time, and Slim Callaghan was, like his American hard-boiled cousins, cynical tough and marginally mannered. Reginald Southouse (Peter) Cheyney (1896-1951) was the first British writer to admit the influence of the American Hard-boiled school. -- Provenance: From the library of Dennis Wheatley with his bookplate. -- References: Herbert, The Oxford Companion to Crime & Mystery Writing, 201. Reilly,Twentieth-Century Crime and Mystery Writers (1980), 300. -- Octavo (book size 19.8 x 13 cm), pp. 252 [4 (author promo and books)].

Self published by the variously infamous Dr. Tumblety, this pamphlet is a screed against his brief imprisonment for taking part in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, which turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. Years later, Chief Inspector John George Littlechild of Scotland Yard believed Tumblety to be Jack the Ripper. In a letter to journalist George R. Sims he writes that "amongst the suspects, and to my mind a very likely one, was a Dr. T. He was an American quack named Tumblety and was at one time a frequent visitor to London and on those occasions constantly brought under the notice of police, there being a large dossier concerning him at Scotland Yard. he was not known as a sadist, but his feelings toward women were remarkable and bitter in the extreme, a fact on record. Tumblety was arrested at the time of the murders in connection with unnatural offences and charged at Marlborough Street, remanded on bail, jumped his bail, and got away to Boulogne. He shortly left and was never heard from again. It was believed he committed suicide but certain it is that from this time the "Ripper" murders came to an end." VERY GOOD.

Portland, OR: Parasol Press, 2014. Limited Edition. Loose Sheets. Fine in Fine Archival Boxes. Limited Edition. Loose Sheets. A collection of 10 aquatints on Rives Paper. Leon Battista Alberti, renaissance scholar, artist and architect, coined the term Concinnitas to connote the beauty found in the confluence of perfect uses of number, position and outline. In 2012, Parasol commissioned ten mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists, including two Nobel Laureates and five Fields Medalists, to create etchings of the mathematical expression most meaningful to them. These formulae were then printed by the fine-art print shop Harlan and Weaver as aquatints, evoking the look of equations quickly and elegantly sketched in white chalk on a blackboard. Accompanied by an expository essay of each and description card, signed by each. Sir Michael Atiyah. Edinburgh University. Fields Medal Enrico Bombieri. Institute of Advanced Study Princeton.

  • Publisher: M. H. Gardner, Printer, Baxter Springs (Kansas)
  • Format: Hardcover
Broadside printed on cloth, 43 x 33 cm., employing several sizes and styles of bold type. Baxter Springs had been a major cattle drive town, but began to decline after the railroads were built. OCLC locates fewer than 25 items printed in Baxter Springs between the 1860s and 1900, mostly newspapers and journals, with only a couple of individual books or pamphlets, and no listings at all for this printer. The sale seems reflective of the cow culture of the town. Very good.

  • Publisher: London: Methuen & Co. Ltd, 1915
First British edition, first impression, in an exceptional example of the scarce dust jacket, one of the earliest graphically designed jackets issued by a British publisher, featuring a specially commissioned illustration not based on the cloth cover design nor an illustration in the book. Victory was published as part of Methuen's "Popular Novels" series, which marked a sea change in the history of British publishing and of the dust jacket. Earlier jackets typically consisted of lettering and an illustrated design based on the blocking of the binding. Only two years earlier, the jacket for Methuen's 1913 edition of John Oxenham's Bees in Amber bore the jingle: "This outer wrap is only meant / To keep my coat from detriment. / Please take it off, and let me show / The better one I wear below." Their "Popular Novels" series also included D. H. Lawrence's The Rainbow and P. G. Wodehouse's Something New. This copy is in the first state, with the comma after "Essex Street" on the title page. The novel was first published in the US earlier the same year. Cagle A19b(1); Keating 113; Wise 25. Octavo. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Housed in a custom red quarter morocco slipcase and chemise. Tiny bumps to cloth at extremities; dust jacket slightly rubbed, extremities lightly worn with short split to front flap fold, overall remarkably bright, flaps without price as issued: a fine copy in near-fine dust jacket.

Inscribed on title page: To Dan Moll Very best wishes Jim Wright (The 100th Congress was the only full Congress in which Jim Wright served as Speaker as he was forced to resign due to multiple ethics issues in 1989).Clean text. Book in near fine condition. This book is distributed to every office in the House of Representatives and is considered "The Bible" for Congressional staff. As every Congressional staffer knows the original version was written by Thomas Jefferson in 1801, and is the first American book on parliamentary procedure. As Vice President of the United States, Jefferson served as the Senate's presiding officer from 1797 to 1801. Throughout these four years, Jefferson worked on various texts and, in early 1800, started to assemble them into a single manuscript for the Senate's use. In December 1800 he delivered his manuscript to printer Samuel Harrison Smith, who delivered the final product to Jefferson on 27 February 1801. Later, the House of Representatives also adopted the Manual for use in its chamber.Jefferson's Manual was based on notes Jefferson took while studying parliamentary procedure at the College of William and Mary.

  • Publisher: Printed for W. Taylor at the Ship in Pater-Noster-Row
London: Printed for W. Taylor at the Ship in Pater-Noster-Row, 1719-1720. Exceedingly rare complete first edition set of all three books in Defoe's classic Robinson Crusoe series, including the scarce first and only printing of the third book in the series. Octavo, three volumes bound in full crushed red morocco by Francis Bedford with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, triple gilt ruling to the front and rear panels, gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. The set consists of: Vol. I. The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, where-in all the Men perished by himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates. Written by Himself. First edition, mixed state with the famed engraved frontispiece portrait of Robinson Crusoe by Clark and Pine, the title in second state with semi-colon after London, third state of the preface with the catchword "apply" correctly spelled, and first state of Z4r with "Pilot" misspelled "Pilate" and "Portugnese" for "Portuguese", four pages of advertisements at rear. Bibliographic note tipped in. Vol. II. ; Being the Second and Last Part of His Life, And the Strange Surprizing Accounts of his Travels Round three Parts of the Globe. Written By Himself. First edition, second issue with the publisher's notice to the verso of the last leaf of the Preface and page 295 corectly numbered, folding map of the world and 11 pages of advertisements at rear. Volume III. : With His Vision of the Angelick World. Written By Himself. First edition, first issue with the catchword "The" on page 270, folding engraved plan of Crusoe's island by Clark and Pine, 2 pages of advertisements at rear. [Grolier English 41; Hutchins 52-71, 97-112, 122-8; Moore 412 & 417; PMM 180; Rothschild 775]. In fine condition. An exceedingly rare and handsomely bound complete set of this cornerstone in English literature. Often hailed as the first novel in the English language and purportedly based on the experiences on Alexander Selkirk, who spent four years on the uninhabited island of Juan Fernandez from 1704, the adventures of Crusoe and his companion Friday have attained mythical status in the history of Western literature. The book's success was immediate, a second edition being called for only seventeen days after publication of the first on April 25, 1719, with a further two editions published before the end of year. The Farther Adventures appeared on August 20, and relates how Crusoe revisited the island with Friday. A final part, The Serious Reflections, followed in 1720. "The romance of Crusoes's adventures, the figure of civilized man fending for himself on a desert island, has made an imperishable impression on the mind of man... much of modern science fiction is basically Crusoe's island changed to a planet" (PMM).

  • Publisher: Ticknor and Fields 1864; 1867, Boston, Mass.
  • Format: Hardcover
6 1/2" x 9 3/8", 452 pp., 1864 First Edition, presumed Presentation Copy [see below], hunter green half-leather with marbled boards, gilt titling and 8 gilt bands on spine, frontispiece portrait of Winthrop and three other tissue-guarded interior plates. Small bookplate on front pastedown of A. S. Roe (Alfred Seelye Roe), noted historian and author. In Very Good Plus condition with rubbing wear at the edges, more so at the top corners and spine head (see photo); would refurbish nicely with a bit of leather dye/polish. Presumed to be be a presentation copy as it is a circa 1865-style half-leather and marbled boards binding (why rebind a newly-published volume?) and it was found with a Winthrop family copy of Vol. 2, signed by Robert Winthrop inscribed to a Mrs. G_ L_Winthrop, dated 1866 [I have split the two into separate listings because of the A.S. Roe bookplate: if Roe bought both, or inherited both, from the Winthrops, why the bookplate on v.1 only?]. Interior is Near Fine with only a few faint spots of foxing (FFEP has a bit on an edge, frontis tissue-guard has very faint spot), and age-toning to edges of pages. Binding is quite sound and square. A handsome and important copy of the First Edition.
