Seller: John Windle Antiquarian Bookseller

Title: A Tale of Two Cities
Author: Dickens, Charles
Seller: John Windle Antiquarian Bookseller (United States)
Description: 1859. London: Chapman & Hall, 1859. Large 8vo, viii, 254 pp. Frontispiece, engraved title & 14 plates by H.K. Browne. Without list of plates. Polished green calf, backstrip gilt with red and brown gilt-lettered labels, marbled edges and endpapers. Binding a little rubbed and worn at corners, spot of worming to backstrip, contents clean with minimal toning to the plates, small address ticket on front free endpaper, overall very good. § First edition in book form of Dickens' great novel of darkness and light, containing 7 of the 8 first issue points identified by Smith (the final two letters of "himself" on p.166 are well printed). The list of plates is not present. "When Dickens began the publication of All the Year Round, the successor of Household Words, he realized the necessity of making a strong start. So he began writing A Tale of Two Cities, publishing the first of the serial in the opening number of his new periodical... As a novel of great popularity it probably ranks next to Pickwick and Copperfield" (Eckel 87). This was the last novel in which Dickens worked with "Phiz" after a partnership of 23 years, and was published on commission through the renewed partnership with Chapman & Hall. "A Tale of Two Cities originally appeared in the weekly journal All the Year Round from April 30 to November 26, 1859 (Nos. 1-31). It was also published in eight monthly parts, the last part forming a double number, from June- December 1859. The novel was published in book form on November 21, 1859." (Smith I, 13). Eckel 87. Thomson 89. Smith I, 13.

Title: Kansatsu ehon - Kinda bukku - boku kei.
Author: TAKEI, Takeo
Seller: Ursus Books (United States)
Description: 1932. TAKEI, Takeo. Kansatsu ehon - Kinda bukku - boku kei. 16 pp. including covers, all colour lithographs on light card. Oblong folio, 260 x 380 mm., bound in publisher's illustrated wrappers in a new blue cloth folding box. Tokyo: Fureberukan, 1932. This is one in a series of "observation" books begun in 1927 by the now named Froebel-kan - based on the principles of educator Friedrich Froebel. An interesting example of prewar Japanese book design for children, with some of the plates verging on kitsch, and some almost surreally avant-garde.

Title: Violina; or, the Passing of the Old Adam and Eve.
Author: Todd, Mary Ives.
Seller: Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Description: New York: Broadway Publishing Company, [ [n.d., copyright 1904] First edition under this title. Seemingly predated by an edition under the title Violina; or, Poland and Liberty (New York: John L. Strus, 1904). Both editions are scarce. OCLC records only six physical copies of the Strus edition (Howard, Michigan State, LAPL, Ohio State, Macomb Community College, National Taiwan University) and four physical copies of the Broadway edition (the Huntington, Allegheny College, University of Pittsburgh, and NYPL). Publisher's purple cloth stamped in pink and gilt. . Octavo. . With three plates (frontispiece and three illustrations of Florence). Spine sunned and some discoloration to cloth. Some foxing to first and last few leaves. Open tear to margin of p. 162 (not touching text). Inscribed by Mary Ives Todd, "To my Dear Friend, Mr. F.A. Calkins, with the compliments of the author." A very good copy. Like many of the other novels by Mary Van Lennup Ives Todd (1849 – ca. 1915?), Violina uses the story of a young woman's tumultuous marriage to reflect on religious tradition, women's rights, and how husbands exert control over wives. The titular Violina Isartoryski is a young Polish American woman who travels to Florence to train as a musician. In Italy, she marries a musician who mistreats her; the pair eventually divorce when Violina discovers that he has two children with another woman. The themes of Violina reflect those of Todd's novel Deborah (1896), which examines marriage and gender in Salt Lake City during the early years of Mormon settlement there.
