Seller: Rulon-Miller Books

Title: Secretary's record ... Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen [cover title]. Record of Chippewa Valley Lodge No. 425
Seller: Rulon-Miller Books (United States)
Description: Eau Claire-Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, 1940. Three quarto ledger books containing approx. 425 pages of recorded minutes for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Foreman (later, The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen), kept in several different hands by different secretaries. There are gaps: the first volume runs from 1896 to 1906; the second from 1910 to 1918, and the third from 1929 to 1940. Some entries are no more than a sentence or two, others go on for more than a page. Election of officers, membership lists, treasury and spending matters, dues, legal matters, committee appointments, scheduling issues, rates, etc. - the usual pro-forma matters. "The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen (B of LF&E) was a North American railroad fraternal benefit society and trade union in the 19th and 20th centuries. The organization began in 1873 as the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen (B of LF), a mutual benefit society for workers employed as firemen for steam locomotives, before expanding its name in 1907 in acknowledgement that many of its members had been promoted to the job of railroad engineer. Gradually taking on the functions of a trade union over time, in 1969 the B of LF&E merged with three other railway labor organizations to form the United Transportation Union" (Wikipedia).

Seller: ReadInk

Title: Return to Bondage
Author: Blackburn, Barbara
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: New York: Lincoln MacVeagh / The Dial Press. Very Good. 1926. First American Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a good solid copy with only light wear, but unfortunately some dimwit, years ago, picked the book up after daubing his or her fingers in white paint, leaving several white finger-smudges on the front cover and spine, and some additional white paint stains along the edge of the rear cover; small bookseller's rubber-stamp on front pastedown (Bertrand Smith's Book Store, Long Beach, Calif.)]. Not nearly as kinky as its title might suggest, this is an English novel, set largely in London and dealing with "the post-war clash of the generations," which The Observer's critic opined was "no novelty, but [is handled] with ultra-modern finesse." The focus is largely on the romantic lives of two young women, Joan and Laura. This was apparently the author's first novel, and I've been unable to find any evidence that she ever wrote a second. Perhaps she was one of those Bright Young Things. .
