Description
Albany, New York and Chicago, respectively: The Ross Publishing House; Western Publishing House, 1888. First Edition. Full Morocco. Elaborately gilt decorated full morocco binding -- the decoration on the boards is inspired by Renaissance bindings more than anything else. This is a publisher's binding, and we think quite unusual for a book of this sort especially. 8vo. 23 by 15.5 cm. 776 pp. Two plates, one being the frontis, each with cameo portraits of the authors and other humorists. Some light scattered foxing, mostly in early and final pages. Mostly clean and tight. The publisher's unusual binding has held up well.

Description
Shartlesville, Pennsylvania: Wm. A. Stump General Merchandise. Printed advertising card for Abbotts DE LUXE Ice Cream, "now served" at a Shartlesville, Pennsylvania general store. In an attempt to separate itself from its competitors, the brand has coined the term "spooned ice cream", which "is served just as it comes from the freezer without compressing the ice cream ... you get more ice cream by volume ... [and] you retain all the original smooth texture and flavor". Measures 3" by 6", verso blank.
