Near Fine
Description
Advance Reader's Edition; A Near Fine book in wraps. An exceptional copy of this advance edition of the 3rd Harry Potter novel; uncommon in this condition. This advance copy was printed in a reported approximate 3000 copies, without the Mary Grandpre illustrated covers as in the first two advance copies; because of the immense popularity of the first two books, the publisher moved up the publication date by a year and had to settle for the simple diamond shaped pattern for this edition. This edition underscores the mania associated with the Harry Potter books at the time, with the statements about rushing publication and the need to read the book immediately along with the publication info to the back cover. This copy is in near fine condition with clean white pages and a square tight binding, showing some mild spotting to the front cover, light rubbing to the wrapper edges, and faint soiling to the exterior text block; an excellent copy. A welcome addition to any Harry Potter collection! Not remaindered, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar bag will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.

Front hinge partly split, but sound
Description
N.p., 1668. Front hinge partly split, but sound. 12mo (130 x 74 mm). Engraved title. [24], 360 pages. Contemporary vellum. FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH of the famous and influential treatise, Browne's 'Relgio medici,' and the only edition in French until the 20th century. "By turns credulous and skeptical, Sir Thomas Browne is one of the most unusual of the great writers of the seventeenth century... The combination of detachment from the world with fascination with its smallest objects, the style, and the mind which both style and contents reveal, has absorbed the interest of readers of all kinds ever since its first appearance" (Printing and the Mind of Man). The work first appeared in two unauthorized editions in English in 1642. The present edition was translated from Dutch of 1665: "sometimes attributed to Nicolas Le Févre. According to Willems [no. 1784] printed by Blaeu in Amsterdam. La Haye has also been suggested as a place of imprint" (Krivatsky 1852). Keynes 71.

Generally a clean copy; dust jacket with some minor rubbing and wear
Description
New York: Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation, 2005. First edition. Generally a clean copy; dust jacket with some minor rubbing and wear. 12.25 x 10.25 inches. 432 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original cloth; pictortial dust jacket. "In addition to his achievements in abstract painting and sculpture, Frank Stella has also made major contributions to the history of the modern print. An exploration of the artist's innovative use of the medium, Frank Stella: Prints reveals the intimate relationships between Stella's prints and his works in other mediums, demonstrating how Stella blasted a hole in the traditional tools and aesthetics of printmaking with works of compelling complexity and beauty. Frank Stella: Prints registers in chronological sequence more than 300 editioned prints, reproduced in full color, including works in series and portfolios. Related works in other mediums--paintings, metal reliefs, maquettes and sculpture--are also illustrated for comparison. Complete documentation of each print offers a privileged insight into the creative process behind these works of art. An introductory essay, prefaces to each series and comments on individual prints provide background information, analysis and interpretation. Frank Stella: Prints also features an illustrated chronology, a glossary tailored to Stella's practice, a bibliography and an index. Soon after arriving in New York in the late 1950s, Frank Stella (born 1936) came to prominence with his striped Black Paintings and shaped canvases. His early painting project reduced the medium to its most fundamental elements and introduced a key concept of Minimalism at an early date: 'What you see is what you see.' But it was not long before Stella, a restlessly experimental worker, abandoned austerity for brighter colors, irregular shapes, rougher textures and gestural brushstrokes" (the publisher).

London: J. Bailey, 116 Chancery Lane, [1820]. First Edition. Slim Twelvemo. 18cm. Late 19th century half mottled calf over marbled paper covered boards by Bayntun of Bath, with a red title label to the spine titled in gilt, very much in the style of an older binding. 24pp. [with 24pp binder's blanks to rear, to stabilize the binding]. Light scuffing to corners and spine ends, darkening to spine label and a little dulling of the gilt, strong, tight, and handsome; internally clean, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers, later ex libris to front pastedown with traces showing removal of an older one visible beneath, hand colored frontispiece illustration with later tissue guard and a small archival tissue repair to a small tear on the fore-edge, offsetting of the color, and some light soiling to title page (the work would originally have been issued as a chapbook in paper wraps). A very good, attractive copy of an obscure piece of early 19th century pop culture. John Bailey was one of those highly-energetic, and slightly scurrilous printer-publishers of the early 1800's, running alongside Stockdale, Dugdale, Duncombe and the like in a frenetic race to recognise the current zeitgeist and mine it for pamphlets, chapbooks and on occasional multi-volume exposés until the vein ran out and they moved on to the next thing. It could be the sporting Fancy, the murky doings of the Ton, memoirs of ladies of negotiable virtue, the scandalous habits of the French, or the diabolical behavior of home grown rakes; if it could be illustrated with a lurid cut and sold to popular acclaim, but no legal outcry, then it was prime for publication. This is an indicative offering; a tale of a lady maligned, a wandering-handed husband, and some untrustworthy foreign types (Italians in this case, portrayed as being of a nation of bandits), promoting the popular and rather thrilling idea that nobody really knows what the aristocracy gets up to, but slim little volumes like this can give you a fair idea. Unusually studded with relatively competent verse commentary, and enough arch detail for the suggestive reader to wonder whether it is entirely fictional. It isn't, in case you were wondering; it forms part of the Caroline Scandal blizzard of pamphlets and cartoons directed at the indiscretions and marital strife of Caroline of Brunswick, the oft estranged wife of King George IV. George despised his wife, even after the birth of their daughter, and Queen Caroline retired to Italy where her chief advisor and confidante was a gentleman named Bartolomeo Pergami - in short order Caroline and Pergami were rumored to be lovers, accusations of adultery and possible treason flew in all directions, and a legal deadlock began with both parties, George and Caroline (whose middle name was of course, Amelia) denying infidelity whilst pointing the finger at each other. The "Green Ridicule" is a reference to the bags presented at the reading of the bill intended to grant the King a divorce; large green sacks of "evidence" collected by the Milanese authorities, much of which was rather hilarious and involved a lot of innkeepers and coachmen testifying to having seen Pergami in flagrante whilst within 20 feet of the noble lady. The resulting legal wrangling and backstabbing had the opposite effect from the one desired by George, and rendered Caroline something of a public and political heroine, misused by her abusive husband and adopted by reformist political figures seeking to gain ground on an increasingly eccentric and damaging monarchy. The tone of the tale is therefore rather sympathetic to Lady Amelia, in keeping with public sentiment. It is also stated to hopefully be the first part of a series of exposures of the travails of "Lady Amelia", and her somewhat ungallant spouse which suggests it was rushed out mid-trial and may have had subsequent installments as the proceedings continued through 1820. The title itself is possibly a riff on Mary Charlton's work; she published a substantial and popular work with a similar title a few years earlier. Scarce, and a little obscure, with three holdings in US institutions.
