Seller: Sanctuary Books

Title: Turn of the Century Manuscript Album, Friendship Book
Author: [manuscript album]
Seller: Sanctuary Books (United States)
Condition: Very Good+
Description: England, 1890s. Ephemera. Very Good+. Text block only, comprised of different color leaves, edged in gilt; approx. pp. 150, with handwritten poems and prose, plus original artwork, from numerous contributors, scattered throughout. Includes 20 pieces of poetry or prose (Edmund Burke, Matthew Arnold, George Eliot, et al), and 18 pieces of original art, primarily ink and gouache, with some pencil sketches thrown in for good measure. The artwork is nicely accomplished, and ranges from a comic gouache of robed intellectuals, to a sweet ink sketch of bonneted girls sharing a secret, to some lovely landscapes. A few contributors locate themselves in Bedford and Halifax. A nice breaker -- many of the pieces collected here are suitable for display. Also includes laid-in scraps of poetry and prose, and a sketch.

Seller: Black Swan Books, Inc.

Title: [PRESENTATION COPY] [MYSTERY] THE SIRENS SANG OF MURDER
Author: Sarah Caudwell | [Elizabeth Peters] [Alexandra Ripley]
Seller: Black Swan Books, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Very Good binding
Description: New York: Delacorte Press, 1989. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good binding/Very Good dust jacket. Signed. 8vo.; in pale blue paper-covered boards, backed in blue cloth, with dustjacket; 276 pages; the jacket has not been price-clipped.~~From the library of the late novelist Alexandra Ripley; with a wonderful inscription from Caudwell: "FOR PANSY, BUT WITH WARNINGS NOT TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR FROM ELIZABETH PETERS - & WITH VERY BEST WISHES, SARAH CAUDWELL, BOUCHERCON 1989". "Pansy" is an "in-joke" between them -- it is the name Ripley gave to Scarlett's maid in Ripley's sequel to Gone With the Wind, Scarlett. Ripley and Caudwell must have been at the Bouchercon Mystery Awards together in Philadelphia in 1989. Caudwell's book, "The Sirens Sang of Murder" was the Bouchercon winner the next year in London. ~~A very nice association, with the reference to their mutual and good friend, Elizabeth Peters. Very Good binding / Very Good dust jacket.
