Title: THE WORKS
Author: (BINDINGS - SETS). SPENSER, EDMUND
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: Bell and Daldy, 1862. 229 x 152 mm. (9 x 6"). Five volumes. Edited by John Payne Collier. VERY ATTRACTIVE DEEP BLUE PEBBLE-GRAIN MOROCCO, HANDSOMELY GILT, covers with frames of one dogtooth and three plain rules, raised bands, spines in antique-style compartments with delicate scrolling cornerpieces and intricate central fleuron surrounded by small tools, densely gilt floral turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. With frontispiece portrait of Spenser in volume I. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Herbert Lionel Bashford, M. A., Dibon Lodge, Godalming. See: Day, "History of English Literature to 1660," pp. 187-89. Spines just a shade darker than covers, a couple covers with a slightly blotchy appearance due to leather preservative, but quite an attractive set in generally fine condition, the text fresh and bright, and the leather lustrous. The first modern English poet to achieve major stature, Spenser (ca. 1552-99), in Day's words, demonstrated "with his fluency in many meters and stanzaic forms . . . that English was at least the equal to any other language as a vehicle of great poetry." While his poems, particularly "The Faerie Queene," look backward as the culmination of the allegorical verse tradition of the Pearl Poet, Langland, and Chaucer, he has influenced with "his fertile imagination and especially his sensuous imagery and melodic language" nearly every important English poet who followed him. (Day) DNB praises Collier's "Spenser," first published in 1862, as "an excellent edition, with the completest life of the poet that had as yet appeared." Despite his great knowledge and love of early English authors, Collier (1789-1883) suffered a certain diminished respect because of his propensity for textual fabrication. This was true particularly in the case of the notorious "Perkins folio," supposedly containing an early copy of Shakespeare's works with superior variant readings, which turned out to be forged. Britannica comments that these "fabrications . . . may charitably . . . be attributed to literary monomania, but . . . it is difficult to speak with patience [of them], so completely did they for a long time bewilder the chronology of Shakespeare's writings." Apart from its important content, this set is quite lovely on the shelf. The bindings are unsigned, but they have the feel and appearance of work done by James Hayday (1796-1872), one of the most prominent and productive English binders of the 19th century. The present set is typical of Hayday's decorative work for a large market, using high quality leather and being liberal with gilt embellishment..

Title: The People in the Trees: A Novel (Signed First Edition)
Author: Hanya Yanagihara
Seller: Grayshelf Books, ABAA, IOBA (United States)
ISBN: 9780385536776
Condition: Fine
Description: First Edition/First Printing with the complete number line; A Fine book in a Fine dust jacket with no visible flaws. SIGNED by the author on the title page with a unique message "I give you my heart". An outstanding copy of this first novel by the critically acclaimed author of "A Little Life" and "To Paradise"; this is the first hardcover edition, very scarce signed. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in archival protection and shipped in a sturdy box."Driven by Yanagihara's gorgeously complete imaginary ethnography on the one hand and, on the other, by her brilliantly detestable narrator, this debut novel is compelling on every level—morally, aesthetically, and narratively. Yanagihara balances pulpy adventure tale excitement with serious consideration in unraveling her fantastical premise: a scientist, Norton Perina, discovers an island whose inhabitants may somehow have achieved immortality."

Rare first edition of Tongue’s doctoral dissertation about lues venerea, or syphilis. Tongue (1779–1843), then a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania, argues against the widely held belief that indigenous Americans infected Europeans with syphilis. He uses references from the bible and historical research on venereal diseases in Europe. Tongue also describes various experiments with mercury, a common cure for syphilis. He ends with a comparison between syphilis and gonorrhea arguing that the two are distinct and different maladies.
