Title: (In Latin): Neesia, genus Plantarum lavanicum: Repertum, Descriptum et Figura Illustratum
Author: BLUME, Karl Ludwig
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Breslau: Weber, 1833. FIRST EDITION. With a very large folding plate of the Neesia Altissima, hand-coloured by Henry Cohen in Bonn. Disbound. First edition. This monograph was part of a series published by the journal Nova Acta Academiae Caesareae Leopoldino Carolinae Germanicae Naturae Curiosorum, Volume XVII. According to Stafleu & Cowan, many of these plates were offered separately in parts with some mysteries on the dates of publications. A second edition was published two years later. Only one copy of this first edition is located in America at Harvard. Blume (1795-1862) was a German born Dutch botanist who traveled and worked in Java, where he studied the botanicals of the Dutch East Indies. He was the first director of the Buitenzorg Botanic Garden in Java, and later became director of the Leiden Rijksherbarium. Blume carried on his studies independently during his years in Java. Among his principal orchid works was Rumphia, which was his reorganization of Rumphius’ work transposed into the Linnean system of classification. Blume published many scientific illustrated works.

Overall, a stunning copy of the third book in the Harry Potter series. Errington A7(b). A pivotal novel in the series, The Prisoner of Azkaban was published before the series reached the level of popularity and cult following that it has today, but still managed to reach critical acclaim. In his third year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter and his friends search for the villainous outlaw Sirius Black after his escape from the wizard prison Azkaban. Unlike the first two books in the series, The Prisoner of Azkaban does not end with a cut-and-dry triumph over evil, but rather begins to pose the question of how media portals and popular perception affect whether someone is considered good or bad- a notion that will reoccur and becoming increasingly central to the story line as the series progresses. . First American Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included. Illus. by Mary GrandPré.

In that time, he earned eighteen All-Star selections, sixteen Gold Glove Awards (tied with Jim Kaat for second all-time) and won two World Series titles (1966, 1970). Oriole historian Ted Patterson stated, "Never has a player meant more to a franchise and more to a city than Brooks has meant to the Orioles and the city of Baltimore." In 1999, Robinson earned a spot on the prestigious MLB All-Century Team.. Signed by Author(s). First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.

Title: Baby Peggy's Own Story Book [*SIGNED*]
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company. Good. 1924. 2nd printing before publication. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [worn copy, both hinges cracked but holding, front endpaper removed, rubbing/bumping at most corners, surface wear to covers, long-ago child owner's name and address in pencil on front pastedown]. (6 color plates) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Diana Serra Cary/"Baby Peggy" (signed with both names) on the half-title page; the inscription is undated, but the content places it as no earlier than circa 2003. A collection of two dozen fairy tales other children's fare, including some classic selections (from Hans Christian Andersen, the Brother Grimm, and the like) and more then-contemporary pieces by Thornton Burgess, Joel Chandler Harris, etc. The conceit is that "Baby Peggy," who for a few brief years in the 1920s was a huge movie star, had selected "the stories I like best to read or get somebody to tell to me." I'm not saying the then-five-year-old B.P. didn't have any editorial input, mind you, but I can't help but notice that publisher Stokes' own books were the source of many of the stories, and that Peggy is depicted on the book's front cover curled up on a couch perusing a copy of "Stokes Children's Annual -- and that the book is "published under exclusive arrangement with The Principal Pictures Corporation," to whom she had just gone under contract in early 1924. In other words, it all kind of reeks of what became a hallmark of Baby Peggy's brief but shining movie career: greedy adults looking to parlay her fame into more money for themselves. (She had been a star since the age of two, and her earlier contract with Universal was purportedly for $1.5 million a year.) Little did anybody know, however, that her movie career was about to crash and burn: after appearing in eleven films (a mixture of features and shorts) released in 1924, she appeared in none at all in 1925, due to her father (who mismanaged both her career and her money) having cancelled the Principal Pictures contract when its head, Sol Lesser, refused to meet his salary demands for his daughter. She made only one more film appearance, then was able to ride her movie fame to some success as a vaudeville performer until 1929, when the stock market crash wiped out the family fortune, and she was reduced to working as a movie extra. Fortunately, she had a fulfilling later life when, as Diana Serra Cary, she wrote several well-regarded books on Hollywood history (including her own autobiography and a biography of her contemporary child star, Jackie Coogan), and lived to the ripe old age of 101, having been often feted by a new generation of silent movie buffs. At the time of her death in 2020, she was thought to have been the last living person who could genuinely have been called a star during the silent movie era. Signed by Associated .
