Title: Deed Book, Providence, Rhode Island, 1899
Author: PROVIDENCE & WORCESTER RAIL ROAD CO
Seller: Riverrun Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Condition: Wear and staining to leather, but covers sound. Internally in fine condition
Description: Wear and staining to leather, but covers sound. Internally in fine condition. Folio ledger book (16 3/4 x 11 inches; 425 x 278 mm). Manuscript on paper: [2], 570 pages. 226 very finely drawn plot maps, with wash, ranging from small insertions on pages to full-page illustrations. Bound in original ledger leather, gilt, with label of Ackerman Co, Providence, gilt-lettered with title on spine. A superb record of the land deeds related to the development of the Providence & Worcester Rail Road Company [P & WRRC]. The preliminary pages record the sale of a section of land to the Lonsdale Company on 31 July 1871 (the preliminaries are dated 1899). The Lonsdale Co. Mill Railroad was a short branch from the main line of the P & WRRC to the Lonsdale Mills (Lonsdale is a village and historic district in Lincoln and Cumberland, Providence County). What follows are the deeds, with plot maps and names of their owners, from 17 October 1846 to 21 November 1883. A note on a front flyleaf reads: "See Certificate signed by Charles Hatch on the fly leaf of Volume 1 of this series of Deed Books. November 1899. James W. Perkins." Perkins has added another note in pencil on the verso of the front free endpaper: "Plan Book No. 2 referred to in Index od Deeds of P and WRR Co. JWP." The company was founded in 1844 to build a railroad between Providence, Rhode Island, and Worcester, Massachusetts, and ran its first trains in 1847 - the year after the earliest deed recorded in this plot book. A successful railroad, the P&W subsequently expanded with a branch to East Providence, Rhode Island, and for a time leased two small Massachusetts railroads. Originally operating on a single track, its busy mainline was double-tracked beginning in 1853, following a fatal collision that year in Valley Falls, Rhode Island. The P&W operated independently until 1888, when the New York, Providence and Boston Railroad (NYP&B) leased it.

Title: The Animals in That Country

Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1968. First Edition. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's simultaneous wraps edition in purple and red pictorial card covers, sharing the design with the subsequent Little, Brown edition. 69pp. Wraps are clean and bright with some minor edgewear, but there is some tanning and creasing to the spine panel which detracts from the appearance a little without causing any structural causes for concern. A good, presentable copy. Internally clean with an old rare book catalog entry laid in at the front, and a little cosmetic wear to the gutter where the wraps meet the page block. Attwood's second poetry publication, scarce in any of its first printings, published the year before her first novel "The Edible Woman." [82181].

Condition: Very Good
Description: Norwalk, CT: The Easton Press, 1996. Collector's Edition. Leather bound. Very Good. SIGNED. 543pp. Octavo [24 cm] Red leather with raised bands, gilt and black ink stamped titles and decorative borders on the spine and front cover, and an illustrated paper label on the front cover. All edges gilt. Orange moire endsheets. Silk ribbon page marker. With light rubbing to the extremities, and a small scratched area on the rear board. The text block has dropped just a little, and there is a former owner's Easton Press bookplate on the rear pastedown. Signed by Muhammad Ali and Thomas Hauser on the limitation page. Number 2,350 of 3,500. From the Preface- "This book is not an attempt to mythologize Ali. It's an effort to show him as he was and is: a superb human being with good qualities and flaws. In his twenties, he was arguably the greatest fighter of all time. But more importantly, he reflected and shaped the social and political currents of the age in which he reigned. Ali in the 1960s stood for the proposition that principles mattered, that equality among people was just and proper, that the war in Vietnam was wrong.

Title: The Parting Glass
Author: [Bo Press] Pat Sweet, book artist
Seller: The Kelmscott Bookshop (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Riverdale CA: Bo Press, 2019. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Hardcover. Limited Edition of 10 copies (not numbered as issued) and signed by the book artist. Designed, printed, and bound by Pat Sweet. A Scottish traditional song, often sung after the parting of friends. "This old Scottish song goes back to 1770, at least in part. The song was rediscovered and made popular by the Clancy Brothers in 1959. The song is tremendously sad, and it's tempting to think of it as a mourning song, but it was traditionally sung to a guest, sitting on his horse, drinking something that would ward off the chill on the way home. But the song has a powerful sense of 'goodbye forever', and if so, the song is blithe and brave in the face of ending, the song of someone who does not welcome death but does not fear it. If the wish to 'make a good end' still exists, this song embodies it. I've paired the lines of the song with black and white images of disregard, tiny deaths: the sadness of small things, the worn out and the cut down, the desiccated and the thrown away. It puts our own partings in perspective" (Pat Sweet). Illustrated with the artist's photographs. Bound in patterned white and black paper covered boards with black leather spine, paper title label to spine, and title label to front board. Split to binding in interior. [82 pages.] Book size: about 2.75 x 2.25 inches. MINI/080724.
