Description
London: Charles Tilt & David Bogue, 1835-53. A Handsomely Bound Complete Set of George Cruikshanks's "The Comic Almanacks" [CRUIKSHANK, George, illustrator]. The Comic Almanack, for 1835[-1853]: An Ephemeris in Jest and Earnest, Containing "All Things Fitting for Such a Work." By Rigdum Funnidos, Gent. Adorned with a Dozen of "Righte Merrie" Cuts, Pertaining to the Months, Sketched and Etched by George Cruikshank. London: Imprinted for Charles Tilt, 1835-1841; Imprinted for Tilt and Bogue, 1842-1843; Published by David Bogue, 1844-1853. First editions. A complete set of nineteen small octavo volumes. With 195 etched plates by George Cruikshank, including five folding frontispieces (four hand-colored), wood-engraved text illustrations. Complete with the additional hand colored 'Natural History' plate in the 1837 volume. Handsomely bound ca. 1910 by Zaehnsdorf for A.C. Mc Clurg & Co., stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-in. Full red polished calf, covers bordered in gilt, spines with five raised bands, decoratively tooled in gilt in compartments, with two maroon morocco labels, lettered in gilt, gilt ruled board edges, decorative gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, others uncut Original stiff printed wrappers (1835-1849) and cloth covers (1850-1853) bound in. A few wrappers with very light soiling. From the library of Harriett Pullman Carolan 'Carolands' with her engraved bookplate on the front paste-down of each volume. Some joints a little rubbed but still quite sound. A very attractive example. This fine and complete set collates almost identically with Albert M. Cohn's description - the only difference being the second issue of the 1845 issue with the woodcut "Fine Art Distribution" on page 31. Otherwise our set is first issue throughout including the hand-colored natural history plate in the rear ads of the 1837 issue, 'Bogue's Annual Catalogue' at the beginning of the 1847 issue, and the first issue of the 1848 almanack with green wrappers with black print. George Cruikshank's Comic Almanack was the most important of a number of comic almanacks of the late Regency period which parodied and subverted the popular almanack genre to poke fun at their educational aspirations and at society at large. "The text, edited by Mayhew, was contributed to by a host of humorous talent, including Thackeray, who enriched the issues of 1839 and 1840, with two of the best of his minor writings,-'The Fatal Boots,' and 'Barber Cox's Diary.' The 24 etchings for these years being solely devoted to illustrating these two Miscellanies" (The Notable and Extensive Collection of Illustrated Books and Caricatures from the Private Library of J. Barton Townsend, Esq. of Philadelphia, The American Art Association, 5 February 1919, lot 246). Carolands: The woman who built Carolands, Harriett Pullman Carolan (1869-1956), was the daughter of George Pullman, a 19th-century industrialist, one of Chicago's wealthiest men, and founder of the Pullman Company, famous for its Palace railway cars. In Chicago in 1892, Harriett Pullman married Francis Carolan of San Francisco and moved with him to California. In 1912, she acquired 554 acres (224 hectares) of land in Hillsborough, on which she intended to build a house and garden that would excite "the wonder and admiration of America" and reflect her many refined and cultivated interests. The result was a masterpiece of Beaux-Arts architecture, inspired by the court architecture of Louis XIV. Carolan chose the site, the highest in the neighborhood, for its commanding views of the San Francisco Bay and the surrounding hills. Cohn 184.

Description
Pen and ink on paper. 7-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches. Fine. Pen and ink on paper. 7-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches. Owen D. Young (1874-1962), trained as a lawyer, was a man of many parts. He was an industrialist, chairman of General Electric and founder of RCA; a public servant, serving as member of various international conferences and later on heading several NY State commissions; and a prominent collector of rare books, whose collection reposes in the New York Public Library. He was badly burned by the 1929 stock market crash, and, perhaps for this reason, has never quite gotten credit for being the effective individual he unquestionably was. He writes of Eisenstaedt: "You may take the next pictures when I have a birthday 25 years hence [ie, his 100th].".

Description
El Paso, TX: Self-published, 1970. Pictorial wrappers. Very Good +. Uncommon re-issue, circa 1970, of this well-researched, well-documented warning to American drivers concerning driving in Mexico. The author makes very clear he has no bone to pick with the country or the people of Mexico (as he notes, he and his wife seriously considered moving there in the mid 1960s); rather, it's the rampant corruption within the seemingly arbitrary traffic laws (or lack thereof) he's trying to warn Americans against. This is a crisp, well-preserved copy to boot. Tight and VG+ in its stapled, pictorial wrappers, with light offsetting along the panel edges. Internally, clean as could be, with no writing or markings of any kind. Among the chapters: "Speed and Lose Your Car", "The Chihuahua Prison", "Hit and Run Is the Custom", "Escape from Hermosillo", "Robbed by Juarez Police", "Police Brutality", "Mexican Jails" etc.

Signed by Lisa Taddeo to title page. 9 1/2" X 6 1/2". x, 306pp. Mild creasing and shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of unclipped dust jacket. Bound in white paper over boards with spine lettered in black. Gentle rubbing and bumps to corners and edges of boards. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is firm, tight, and sound. A presentable signed early printing of the acclaimed work of nonfiction by Lisa Taddeo, the inspiration for the Starz adaptation starring Shailene Woodley. ABOUT THIS BOOK: A riveting true story about the sex lives of three real American women, based on nearly a decade of reporting. Hailed as "a dazzling achievement" (Los Angeles Times) and "riveting page-turner that explores desire, heartbreak, and infatuation in all its messy, complicated nuance" (The Washington Post), Lisa Taddeo's Three Women has captivated readers, booksellers, and critics-and topped bestseller lists-worldwide. In suburban Indiana we meet Lina, a homemaker and mother of two whose marriage, after a decade, has lost its passion. Starved for affection, Lina battles daily panic attacks and, after reconnecting with an old flame through social media, embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming. In North Dakota we meet Maggie, a seventeen-year-old high school student who allegedly has a clandestine physical relationship with her handsome, married English teacher; the ensuing criminal trial will turn their quiet community upside down. Finally, in an exclusive enclave of the Northeast, we meet Sloane-a gorgeous, successful, and refined restaurant owner-who is happily married to a man who likes to watch her have sex with other men and women. Based on years of immersive reporting and told with astonishing frankness and immediacy, Three Women is both a feat of journalism and a triumph of storytelling, brimming with nuance and empathy. "A work of deep observation, long conversations, and a kind of journalistic alchemy" (Kate Tuttle, NPR), Three Women introduces us to three unforgettable women-and one remarkable writer-whose experiences remind us that we are not alone.(Publisher).
