Title: Good-Night (Buenas Noches)
Author: [Rackham, Arthur] Gates, Eleanor
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co, 1907. First edition in book form. Twelvemo (7 3/8 x 4 7/16 inches; 187 x 113 mm.). Collating 53, [3, blank]. Original gray cloth. Front cover and spine lettered in white and pictorially stamped in green, white and slate. Minimal rubbing to corners and spine ends. With five color plates by Arthur Rackham (including frontispiece). An excellent copy of this very scarce little book. Good-Night (Buenas Noches) is the delightful story of Padre Alonzo and his cheeky Mexican parrot, Loretta, and yellow canary named Tony. Loretta has taken a shining to Tony and a disliking to the slim, hollow-faced Padre Anzar. Loretta has to stand her ground with Anzer and the prowling cat Tomasso. The story first appeared in Scribner's Magazine in February 1906, accompanied by six (one additional) Rackham illustrations. No English edition was ever issued. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrators of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper (1892). Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic-from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Eleanor Gates was born on September 26, 1875 in Shakopee, Minnesota, southwest of Minneapolis. She described her early life in her novel The Biography of a Prairie Girl. Gates married playwright Richard Walton Tully in 1901 after they had both completed their studies at the University of California, Berkeley. Gates had worked initially as a writer for a newspaper in San Francisco, as well as writing novels. In 1907, her first novel was illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Her best known work was the play The Poor Little Rich Girl, produced in 1913. Latimore and Haskell 30. Riall 81.

Title: Jack Racer.
Author: Somerville, Henry, [pseudonym for Mary Gay Humphreys].
Seller: Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Description: New York: McClure, Phillips & Co., 1901 First edition. Rare in commerce, especially in dust jacket. Jack Racer follows the titular character, an Illinois lawyer who runs for political office. Jack is also a ladies-man and the novel chronicles his flirtations. His political success is halted when his romantic relationships become suspect. According to a contemporary review from the Los Angeles Evening Press, the novel contains "clever character sketches" and "is tainted with so ambitious a root of aspiration as politics. Publisher's tan dust jacket with title in red. . Octavo. Includes decorations on title page and throughout by Anne Goldthwaite. Minor tear to second leaf near head of spine. Light damp stain to upper margin. Clean throughout. A very, tight good copy. Advertisement for "new fiction," including the present work, laid in. Mary Gay Humphreys (1843-1915) was a journalist and author from Ohio. She also served as a nurse during the Civil War. Her writing was published in periodicals such as Harper's Bazaar and Scribner's Sons. In addition to journalism, she wrote several novels using various pen-names. Under the pseudonym Elinor Gray she co-authored Skillful Susy: A Book of Fairs and Bazars which reviewed household craft-work. Humphreys later published Jack Racer under the name Henry Somerville. The news believed Henry Somerville to be an Ohio-native working in the newspaper business: a biography not far off from Humphrey's own.

Title: ... Account of Experiments ... Relative to the Times of Burning Fuzes Driven by Machine ... with ... correspondence ... on ... artillery ....
Author: MacDonald, J
Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: Very good, untrimmed with occasional spotting.
Description: London: Printed for the Author, 1819. First Edition.. Modern cloth.. Very good, untrimmed with occasional spotting.. 8vo. The 4 plates illusrate cannon and signalling devices. A somewhat eccentric book made up of two different tracts that the author felt were of urgent military importance. The second tract, here present with its own title page, deals with the rather tired subject of optical telegraphy as a means of distance communication. The first tract, however, concerns itself with artillery, munitions, field mortars, and cannon of all kinds and their theory, construction, and strategic disposition in battle. The author was an advocate of the use of artillery to support infantry assaults and appears to have known what he was about in the technical end of these matters. The author survived stationing to Sumatra and Penang where he spent 17yrs. in various posts; he was responsible for the first useful maps of Sumatra and a founding member of the Asiatic Society. Absent from Riling; see DNB XII, 484-' 85.

Title: A Gift of Wings. Illustrated by K. O. Eckland.
Author: Bach, Richard.
Seller: Lighthouse Books, ABAA (United States)
Description: London: Heinemann, (1975). First Edition. Octavo, black boards (hardcover), gilt letters, ix, 337 pp. Very Good, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) to page edges; in a Very Good dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: Richard Bach’s first book since Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a collection of forty-eight stories and articles which celebrate the highlights of fifteen years of flight and flying. He has a sparkling facility for communicating information about flying and aircraft together with an astonishing dreamlike imagination that is as boundless as the sky, though it is no more a book for flying buffs alone than is Francis Chichester just for sailors. Whether he is writing about barnstorming in biplanes, the hazards of being a fighter test-pilot, coping with aircraft that many would consider museum pieces, or the memorable day when he shot down the Red Baron -- for a film -- Richard Bach shares with everyone the meaning and joy of flight. Together with stirring illustrations by K O Eckland, all the book’s thoughts and actions lead in an overall way to the themes of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and contribute to an understanding of that special ingredient of adventure, freedom and discovery with which Richard Bach flavours his life.
