Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques

Title: The Ship that Sailed to Mars
Author: Timlin, William M.
Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: London: George G. Harrap & Company Limited, 1923. First Edition. Quarter Vellum over Boards. Very Good/Good. A futuristic journey that was from its very conception sweetly moored in the misty past! 4to. 31 by 24 cm. 48 pp and 48 tipped-in (or mounted) color plates. The singular story and its illustrations are truly sui generis; the fabulous concoction of fantasy rendered here draws equally from both the text and illustrations. Condition: Short closed tear, upper spine extremity. Touches of soiling on vellum spine, but the vellum overall is bright and comes off as clean. Neatly written short ink gift inscription dated 1928 on FFEP. Within green leaves, upon which text and plates are mounted, has age toning around edges, manifest in light browning. DJ with a few chips, the largest being the rear upper edge, yet the most conspicuous being by the upper spine extremity. Also chipped by lower extremity. All chips have jagged, or irregular edges. Rear with a few crinkle lines and one dime-sized stain. The DJ now protected from further decay by mylar and white backing. We rate the DJ merely Good because of these chips, but if considering only the front cover, it would come out better.

Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink

Title: The French Quarter: An informal history of the New Orleans underworld
Author: Asbury, Herbert
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1936. Octavo (22.5 x 16 cm.), 484 pages. Illustrated. FIRST EDITION. A fascinating account of the evolution of the New Orleans' French Quarter underworld, with Prohibition tales and stories of gambling, prostitution, voodoo purveyors, and political corruption. One of a series of book-length explorations of the low life of various cities undertaken by the great Herbert Asbury, perhaps best known for his Gangs of New York, which served as the foundation for the film of the same name by Martin Scorcese. In 1928, well before repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, Asbury reintroduced America to Jerry Thomas' Bon Vivant's Companion, the classic "earliest" cocktail manual. His final book, The Great Illusion: An Informal History of Prohibition, was published in 1950. Internally clean and sound, in black linen-backed boards. The unclipped dust jacket is near fine, with just a bit of light wear to the edges and some age-toning.
