Title: Dainihon meibutsu zukushi 大日本名物尽 [Specialty Products of All the Regions of Japan]
Author: ŌRAIMONO 往来物
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Color-printed illus. on each page. 19.5; 20.5 folding leaves. 12mo (126 x 93 mm.), orig. finely woodblock color-printed pictorial wrappers, new stitching. [Japan]: mid-Edo. A splendid and beautifully preserved example of an illustrated ōraimono, a book of popular learning. “Another very substantial market, which catered to the growing need and demand for literacy, was that for the popular educational works known as ōraimono. These have had a poor survival rate and have hitherto been treated in a bibliographically cavalier manner [= ignored], but it is clear that they were produced in many parts of Japan for local use and that by the early nineteenth century they were a substantial part of the market for print.”–Kornicki, The Book in Japan, pp. 139-40. This delightful ōraimono is an illustrated travel guide covering all of Japan. The information is rather impressive; local trades and products are depicted. The upper wrappers are a fine example of a tsuzuki e cover つづき絵, one image depicted on two or more covers in a continuous format, but each cover’s image complete in itself. Tsuzuki e were often produced as ukiyo-e prints. Our booklets are color-printed throughout in simple tints of blue, gray, pink, yellow, red, and green. Not found in WorldCat. According to NIJL, there were two editions (1784 and 1856); ours is undated. Very fine and fresh copy. Preserved in the original publisher’s wooden box, with printed title-slip on lid.

Title: A Year Among the Bees: Being a talk about some of the implements, plans and practices of a bee-keeper of 25 years' experience, who has for 8 years made the production of honey his exclusive business
Author: Miller M.D., C.C. [Charles C. Miller (1831-1920)]
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: Chicago: Office of the American Bee Journal, 1885. Octavo (17.5 x 13.4 cm), 114, [14] pages. Illustrations. Index. Advertisements. Publication date from the author's Fifty Years Among the Bees, (1920, page 15). FIRST EDITION. Charles C. Miller (1831-1920) was a practical commercial beekeeper that specialized in comb honey production. Miller began as an amateur beekeeper. In 1861, his wife hived a swarm into a sugar barrel when it landed on their porch in, after which he expanded his business steadily. Originally a physician, but gave up that profession to keep bees and to write about beekeeping. By 1878, Miller's was making his living from keeping bees. He eventually settled in Illinois and expanded his honey farm to over 300 colonies of bees, and became North America's largest producer of comb honey. His books include A Thousand Answers to Beekeeping Questions and Fifty Years Among the Bees. For many years he was also a popular advice columnist for the American Bee Journal. Part memoir, part bee culture, Miller began his personal account of the honey business in 1886 with A Year Among the Bees, in which he announced he had "made the production of honey his exclusive business". Miller never made it to "sixty years among the bees", but what he lacked in originality with his titles, he made up for in descriptive quality. Miller included detailed measurements of his hives for others to use, and his later books include photos of beekeeping activities. Over the course of the next three decades the succession of Miller's bee books highlights not only his industry, but the importance of frequent publication to the success of his business. The famed apicultural library at the University of Wisconsin is named after Miller. Age-toning to the first two signatures, but internally clean and sound. in publisher's brown cloth, gilt-titled at the spine. Some mottling to the top edge of the cloth, otherwise very good. [OCLC locates twenty-five copies].
