Seller: Whitmore Rare Books

Title: The Souls of Black Folk
Author: Du Bois, W.E.B.
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Chicago: A.C. McClurg & Co, 1903. First edition. Near Fine. A clean, Near Fine copy of W.E.B. DuBois' first book. A bit of fraying to head and tail of spine, and a subtle blemish to upper board. An excellent copy overall. The Souls of Black Folk was Du Bois' first and most famous book, a "monumental" work "filled with spirituality and with spontaneity" that represented a turning point both in the field of sociology (Blockson, Commented Bibliography, 52). Notably, the book coined the framework of "double consciousness" in regards to Black people's self-perception, capturing the notion that Black people, by necessity, viewed themselves and the world through their own perspective while simultaneously anticipating the perspective of other (non-Black) people. Du Bois, already an established writer and sociologist, had previously published several studies of Black life in the United States, including The Philadelphia Negro (1899), as well as a study of Black people in business, but The Souls of Black Folk went further: Du Bois' "conceptions were historical and global, his methodology empirical and intuitive, his values and commitments involving both mobilization of an elite vanguard to address the issues of racism and the conscious cultivation of the values to be drawn from African-American folk culture" (ANB). The result was a revolutionary work of sociology that shapes conversations on race, community, and identity to this day. The importance of The Souls of Black Folk cannot be overstated. Also see Blockson 4028 (third edition). Near Fine.

Seller: Whitmore Rare Books

Title: Scots Ballads (Signed limited edition)
Author: Burns, Robert (illustrator)
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: London: Seeley, Service & Co. Limited, 1939. First edition. Fine. One of sixty copies signed by the artist (only fifty of which were for sale). Publisher's deluxe full vellum titled in gilt. Folio. [81] ff., fully illustrated with black-and-white plates, calligraphic text, and elaborate head- and tail-pieces inspired by manuscript illumination. A lovely, Fine copy with the publisher's prospectus (reproducing two illustrations and a page of text) laid in. This elegant production was the last significant book illustrated by the Scottish painter, limner, and designer Robert Burns (1869 - 1941), not to be confused with the poet of the same name. Burns was a skilled decorative artist associated both with Arts and Crafts styles and the Scottish cultural revival movement of Sir Patrick Geddes. Burns' Scots Ballads, as it appears here, was the result of decades of attempts to produce an illustrated edition of the traditional Scottish stories that inspired his art - Burns' original plan was to create a lavish three-volume illuminated edition in colors and gold, but it proved too expensive to reproduce widely, and he reworked the project into the present version with his striking black-and-white illustrations, calligraphic text, and a glossary of Scots terms. Scots Ballads was published in a regular edition of 320 copies (300 of which were for sale) and sixty signed deluxe copies in vellum (fifty of which were for sale). Fine.

Author: [Presbyterian Church (Soda Springs, Idaho); Ladies' Aid Society]
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: Soda Springs: The Church/[Hildreth Printing], 1930. Small octavo-sized stapled book (18.5 x 14 cm.), 72, [iii] pages. Advertisements. "Index" is a table of contents. Title from header running throughout; cover title: Cook Book. Statement of attribution from cover. FIRST EDITION. A previously undocumented church cookbook with a version of goulash described as "Danish" and an end-of-harvest green tomato sauce oddly identified as "Soy" - though the majority of the two hundred seventy short, ascribed recipes, it must be admitted, evince less mystery. There is a recipe for Orange Mint Salad that merits review, a Celery Roast (with walnuts), Scalloped Onions with Peanuts, and signs of a curious interest in "mock" pies (Mock Pumpkin, Mock Cherry, and Mock Lemon among them). Soda Springs had been known in the 1860s, long before the consolidation of southeastern Caribou County of which it is the seat, as an "Oregon Trail Oasis," owing to the curious prevalence of naturally carbonated "bubble springs" in the region. It is also nestled within one of the turns of the meandering Bear River, which eventually empties, diverted by lava flows, into the Great Salt Lake. The printer is suggested from historical context. The Hildreth family printed the only newspaper in the county and ran a job print department on the side throughout the early twentieth century. The neo-gothic Presbyterian Church - virtually fairy-tale in appearance, built of local lava rock - opened its doors at 109 East South First Street in 1895. It is still an active church. Clean and bright throughout. In stapled, black-lettered, grey oilcloth wrappers, lettered in black; Small light waterstain, and a few small chips missing at the spine. wear along the back; a small perforation of the oilcloth rear panel. Near very good. Very good plus. Unrecorded. [OCLC locates no copies; not in Brown or Cagle].
