Description
Cambridge: printed by John Clay, at the University Press, 1913. First editions. Three volumes in blue cloth with gilt stamped spines. 26 cm. xiii, (1), errata, 666; xxxiv, 772; x, 491 pp. Ex-library copy, Univ. of Missouri, with usual markings: small paper labels (mostly removed) at bottom of spine, bookplate on front pastedowns; perforated stamp on title page; remains of library pockets or numbers on rear pastedowns. Some shallow chipping to spine ends; damping to rear board of vol. one, with some bleeding of color to rear endpapers and old staining to gutter; hinges of vol. two cracked, and some ink speckling to fore-edge. Text clean. A seminal work of mathematical logic. According to information from the sale of the Haskell F. Norman collection of science and medicine (1998), 750 copies of the first volume were produced by the publishers, but disappointing sales resulted in only 500 copies of the next two volumes. This is one of only 500 possible sets of the first edition, therefore. This work of Whitehead and Russell "is acknowledged to be the 'greatest single contribution' to logic since Aristotle; it is also the most remarkable of modern collaborations." [Newman, "The World of Mathematics," (NY: 1956), vol. 1, p.397].

Description
21/10/1931. Henry L. Mencken was a journalist, essayist, satirist, cultural critic, and scholar of American English, longtime columnist for the Baltimore Sun. Typed Letter Signed, 1 page, Baltimore, October 21, 1931 to Mr. Hart. “A ‘tap on the nose’ is far too polite an attention for Gandhi. I’d much prefer a swift kick where his pantaloons would be if he wore any. Let the Kendall book come along and I’ll be glad to go through it.” Mencken was known for his acerbic style but why he disparages Gandhi in this way is unclear unless it had something to do with their attitudes on civil rights which at this time was a complicated issue.

Description
London: Methuen and Co., 1893. Two volumes, octavo, bound in original finely ribbed blue cloth withgilt titles on covers and spines. Volume One is a first edition. Volume Two is a second edition, with the publisher's catalog bound at the back dated October, 1893. The author's first novel became a smashing success, with ten impressions being called for in the five months following the release of the books. Two volume sets are now quite scarce, with this set being exceptionally clean and bright. The name "Eugenia" is written on the front pastedown of both volumes, repeated on the half-titles with the date 1894 in the first and 1908 in pencil on the second. There is a bit of minor wear to the extremities, else a very good copy of a difficult title to acquire in a "two-decker".

New York: American Sports Publishing Co., 1918 First edition. Publisher's pale green pictorial wrappers, with yellow border, batter in white and red uniform to front wrapper, lettered in blue and red. Good, with wrappers loose but holding, a touch of soiling to wrappers, small chips to top corners of first four pages, and some toning to pages. Overall, a copy that presents well. This guide covers the 1917 baseball season, which ended with the Chicago White Sox (Eddie Collins, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson) defeating the New York Giants four games to two. Team photos throughout the book feature stars like Joe Jackson (p. 104), Babe Ruth (p. 108), Ty Cobb (p. 112), Walter Johnson (p. 114), and more. Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide was an annually issued guide first published in 1878 by sporting goods magnate A. G. Spalding. During the 19th century, Spalding and Reach's guides included the rules and regulations for playing the game and were the primary source of sports statistics and analysis of the prior year. From 1881 to 1908, Spalding's Guide was edited by Henry Chadwick, often referred to as the "Father of Baseball." Chadwick made significant contributions to the rules of the game, created the modern baseball box score, and introduced a number of vocabulary words that are still used to today, like "strike out," "cut off," and "fungo." Chadwick passed away in 1908 and was succeeded as editor by longtime sportswriter John B. Foster.. First Edition. Original Wraps. Good.

"This vital novel has for its subject the insecurity of life in a machine age economy, though it is in no sense a 'thesis novel.'" (Well, that's a relief.) The book's setting is a large engineering firm in the English Midlands that's struggling to survive the depredations of the Depression. The New York Times gave it a featured review, opining that it "can stand honest comparison with the best of its order." ReadInk specializes in the works of Eardley Beswick -- nah, just kidding, but we do currently have two of his books for sale, and how many booksellers can make that claim? .
