Description
[Seattle, 1935. Near fine.. [2],[84],3,113,[4],324,[12]pp. Text mostly in Japanese. Original dark green limp leatherette, titles stamped in gilt on front cover, in original plain cardboard slipcase with black spine titles. Very minor wear to binding. Modest wear and light soiling to slipcase. Internally clean. The last edition of the scarce yearbooks (previously issued sporadically beginning in 1910) issued by The North American Times, the largest and oldest Japanese-American daily newspaper in the Pacific Northwest. The NAT began in 1902 and was halted by the internment of its staff (and most of its readership) in 1942. After World War II, the newspaper was restarted as The North American Post, and is still published today. The bulk of the present volume is a directory of Japanese-American businesses and Japanese-American residents primarily in Washington, but also Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Nebraska, Colorado, Nevada, California, Wyoming, Utah, the territory of Alaska, Illinois, New York, and Canada. The names are given in Japanese characters, but the street addresses are provided in English. The California list is surprisingly small, and there is no mention of Hawaii, likely because there was an annual directory published for the Hawaiian islands by the Nippu Jiji Company. The present work is also chock full of illustrated advertisements interspersed throughout, almost all of which pertain to businesses in Seattle. The work opens with a lengthy photographically-illustrated section featuring scenes in the Japanese community, with group photographs of various Japanese organizations, clubs, sports teams, and the like. There are also several pages featuring portraits of Japanese-American business and community leaders, family portraits, the interiors and exteriors of Japanese-owned businesses, farm and nursery scenes, church and school groups, and more. A scarce Japanese-American directory, with only a baker's dozen copies reported in OCLC -- six in a separate record for the 1936 edition, with copies at Yale, Lewis & Clark College, Tacoma Public Library, Seattle Public Library, the Bancroft, and UCLA, plus seven copies in a serial record, at Columbia, Stanford, Harvard, the Library of Congress, the University of Oregon, the University of Washington, and the University of British Columbia.

Description
Milano: Coi Tipi di Luigi di Giacomo Pirola, 1840. 8vo. 215 x 135 mm., [8 ½ x 5 ¼ inches].  16 pp.  Original buff colored printed wrappers, stitched as issued; corners dog eared light foxing throughout the text.  This copy shows signs of use, but sound and not unattractive. Rare publication on the practical  method of making Gorgonzola Cheese called, “Stracchino di Gorgonzola”.  The name derives from the word for  "tired" “stracche” in the Milanese dialect, which refers to the exhausted condition of the cows after their migration from the hills of Bergamo to the plains of Milan and Lodi.   The milk that was produced after the arrival of the herd was sold in the town of Gorgonzola, outside of Milan which was a meeting point for the routes of the "bergamine" “the herds” and purchased and used by the local inhabitants to make a rich cheese. Luigi Cattaneo and his brother Antonio were agricultural economists who specialized in the study of milk and the production of cheese.  Luigi was an author of a scientific work in 1834 on the operations of the dairy farm, with descriptions of the chemistry which produced different cheeses of varying quality and taste.  He was member of the Royal Institute of Science, Literature and Art for the provinces of Lombardy and the Veneto and wrote essays for the Milanese publication Politecnico.  Antonio was a professor of rural economy and member of numerous local agricultural associations and the author of a 480-page book on the properties of milk and milk production. Rare:  OCLC cites copies at the Universities of Illinois and Wisconsin only and it is not cited in NUC, though other titles by Cattaneo are mentioned, each cited in only one copy.     Vittorio Niccoli.  Saggio Storico e Bibliografico dell’Agricultura Italiana,  p.566.  Maria Paleria Henssler.  Bibiografia Latino-Italiana di Gastronomia, I, p. 172.  Although this title on Gorganzola cheese is not cited by Westbury, other works by Antonio and Luigi are listed.  See Lord Westbury.  Handlist of Italian Cookery Books, p. 43.  (1430) .

Description
London: William Pickering, 1836. First thus. Very Good +. First Nicolas edition (true first published in 1653). Two large octavo volumes finely bound by Macdonald in half green crushed morocco over green cloth boards. Spines with five raised bands, gilt titles and decorations in the spine compartments. All edges marbled, but plain end papers. Collating [16], ccxii, [6], 129, [1, blank]; [4], 131-436, [32]: complete, including frontis and 14 plates. Vignette illustrations throughout. Previous owner's gift inscription, dated 1861. Very Good+ copies with the leather on the spines a bit dry. A few spots of foxing internally, but generally contents clean. Title-pages printed in red and black. A handsome copy overall. Walton's famous pastoral work on fishing, The Compleat Angler, is combined here with additions by Robert Venables and Charles Cotton on the art of fly fishing in particular. Walton, the son of innkeepers, moved to London to become an ironmonger but would spend the last forty years of his life collecting information and writing on fishing. The book was first published in 1653 but re-released in numerous editions both due to its popularity and Walton's propensity to revise and contribute more chapters to it. It has stayed in print since it was first published and is noted for its well observed descriptions of English country life. "The Compleat Angler has something in common with 'Lady Chatterley's Lover:' while many know the title, few have actually read it. Yet it's the most frequently reprinted book in the English language after the Bible" (The Guardian). Coigney 44. Horne 43. Oliver 41. Very Good +.

Red silk cloth covers with gilt lettering and rose flower & stem frame around paper onlay by F.C. Yohn, who also did the plate illustrations within. Laid in is an original publisher's announcement for the book, which includes this statement: "In appearance this book will be BY FAR the MOST BEAUTIFUL in color and ornament that has been published in cloth binding, and it is sure to be one of the MOST EXQUISITE CHRISTMAS GIFTS OBTAINABLE THIS SEASON." There may be some hyperbole in that statement, but if the copyright page is without exaggeration (which may be doubtful), they had printed 150,000 copies by November 16th, 1901 (first printing was July 25th).
