Title: IN MEMORIAM A. H. H.
Author: (BINDINGS - RIVIERE). TENNYSON, ALFRED, LORD
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: New York; London: [Printed at the Bankside Press for] M. F. Mansfield, 1900. No. 83 OF 100 COPIES reserved for Great Britain, from a total edition of 500. 244 x 155 mm. (9 1/2 x 6 1/8"). CXXXI pp., [1] leaf (colophon). LOVELY HONEY BROWN MOROCCO, ELABORATELY GILT, BY RIVIERE & SONS (stamp-signed on front turn-in), covers framed by delicate gilt chains, the outer edge punctuated with tiny heart and dot tools, the space between the gilt rules filled with many gilt dots and with 86 trefoils, the central panel with 28 irises extending from the edge of the frame on alternating two and three chain link stems, corner pieces with an oblique iris stem on a background of gilt dots accented by trefoils and small leaves, raised bands, spine panels with an iris rising from a cluster of small leaves, gilt lettering, gilt-ruled turn-ins with trio of irises on a stippled ground at corners, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. In the original felt-lined leather chemise with gilt lettering on spine, and in a marbled paper slipcase (bottom panel carefully reinforced with cellotape). With decorative initials from designs by Blanch McManus printed in orange. A FINE COPY--internally clean, fresh, and bright, and THE BINDING SPARKLING AND UNWORN. This is a famous poet's most famous poem, offered in elegantly vigorous binding from a pre-eminent English workshop. First published in 1850, the elegy "In Memoriam" is a tribute to Tennyson's college friend, Arthur Henry Hallam (1811-33), son of the famous historian Henry Hallam (1777-1859). Tennyson (1809-92) had been publishing verses for seven years before Hallam's death, but after the loss of his friend, nothing from his pen appeared for nearly a decade. During that period, he was working on the present poem, the product of protracted meditation. Written in rhyming quatrains, the poem moves from grief and doubt to certainty that the universe is purposeful. It was a sensational bestseller, striking a deep note of resonance with Victorian readers. The queen herself told the poet, "Next to the Bible, 'In Memoriam' is my comfort." The design of our binding is especially intricate, and the tooling is impeccable, resulting in a notable aesthetic achievement. Riviere is one of the foremost names in the field, partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829, then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881, he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership, at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son, and the bindery continued to do business until 1939. The condition of our volume is impressive; the original chemise has kept the binding safe from the fading of sunlight, so that it looks virtually as it did when it left the bindery..

Title: A History of Baseball in the San Francisco Bay Area: San Francisco Giants Official 1985 Yearbook
Author: [Gomez, Lefty (HOF)]; Thorpe, Laura A. [Editor]
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: San Francisco: Woodford Associates, 1985 Historical text by David Nemec. Signed by Lefty Gomez on front wrapper. First edition, first printing. 8vo oblong. Publisher's stapled white wrappers, with team photo to front wrapper, Camel cigarettes advertisement to rear wrapper, and b/w photographs throughout. Fine. Overall, an exceptional copy. From Lefty Gomez's personal library. This book looks back over the rich baseball history of the Bay Area. Some notable players to come out of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) include Joe DiMaggio, Frankie Crosetti, Earl Averill and Lefty Gomez. Interestingly, the baseball term "sandlot" originated in San Francisco, dating back to a sandy area of land in the 1870s that was used by local baseball players, where the present Civic Center is located. Vernon "Lefty" Gomez (1908-1989) was born in Rodeo, California, the youngest of eight children, to Francisco and Rita Gomez. When Gomez was 20 years old, he signed a contract to play for the San Francisco Seals, and two years later he joined the New York Yankees. Except for a single game in 1943 with the Washington Senators, Gomez spent his entire career with the Yankees (1930-1942). He was a key part of the team's dominant run in the 1930s, which saw them winning five World Series titles. In World Series games, Gomez was undefeated on the mound, boasting a 6-0 record, which still stands today as the longest undefeated winning streak for a pitcher in the World Series. In his relatively short but illustrious career, Gomez was selected for seven All-Star games and won the Triple Crown twice (1934 and 1937). He was the starting pitcher for the American League in the first ever All-Star game on July 6, 1933, and even drove in the first run. In 1972, Gomez was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. . Signed. First Edition. Original Wraps. Fine.
