Description
London: Macmillan & Co, 1914. FIRST EDITION. With 4 photographic plates, including frontispiece, and numerous text illustrations. Publisher’s original cloth, author and title in blind on front cover and in gilt on spine; an excellent, clean copy with the small ownership signature of W.E. Ravenhall on the fly-leaf. First edition of Eddington’s first published book. He here collects a number of earlier-published articles (the majority from the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society) to summarize the current knowledge in astronomy and cosmology. Of particular interest is his observations on the future path of the science and what needs to be both invented and accomplished. “The cosmological knowledge of the period was summarized and the most challenging problems were delineated, and he clearly declared his preference for the speculation that the spiral nebulae were other galaxies beyond our Milky Way, which was itself a spiral galaxy” (DSB IV p. 279).

Color photo illustrated wraps. Very good
Description
Chicago: Henry Regnery Company, 1974. First Edition. Paperback. Color photo illustrated wraps. Very good. 272 pages. 23 x 15.5 cm. Before Ina Garten's - Barefoot Contessa, Bert Greene and Denis Vaughan opened The Store in Amagansett in the summer of 1966 - a country-style gourmet take-out shop on Long Island's South Fork. The Store was among the first upscale prepared-food shops of its kind in the United States, known for salads, pâtés, roasts, and elaborate mousses sold to vacationers and locals. This cookbook grew out of the popularity of the shop and the demand from customers for the recipes behind its signature dishes. More than a cookbook, it interweaves recipes with anecdotal reminiscences about the shop, its customers, the East Hampton/Amagansett scene, and Greene's own family, positioning it as both cookbook and social chronicle. Light stains to the first couple of pages, otherwise clean and crisp. Wrappers rubbed at edges.
