New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1927 Illustrated by Walter S. Rogers with a frontispiece. First edition, first printing, with "But" spelled "Bpt" on page 137, last line. Publisher's red cloth, lettered in brown and black; in its original pictorial dust jacket, with an illustration of three men in a boat approaching a cliff to front panel, lettered in black and orange. Near fine book, with light wear to spine ends and corners, bookplate to front board with light abrasion and thumb soiling, and gift inscription to front free endpaper; fair dust jacket, with insect damage and extensive clear-tape repair to edges, considerable rubbing to spine (publisher name mostly effaced), and some chipping to spine ends. Overall, a lovely book with the original dust jacket present. Carpentieri and Mular 1927A-1. In this second entry in the Hardy Boys series, brothers Frank and Joe Hardy help their dad, detective Fenton Hardy, by staking out a vacant house overlooking the ocean to keep watch for potential drug smuggling boats. The story takes an unsettling turn when Fenton goes missing. The Hardy Boys was a massively successful juvenile fiction series, masterminded by publisher Edward Stratemeyer. While hundreds of books have been written under the blanket of The Hardy Boys, the first 58 novels published by Grosset & Dunlap from 1927 to 1979 are generally considered "canon" and the most collectable. Because of the series' success, Stratemeyer created other similar series for young readers, like the Bobbsey Twins and Nancy Drew. The Hardy Boys books were written by various ghostwriters over the years - there was no real Franklin W. Dixon, but the first sixteen books were penned by Leslie McFarlane. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included. Illus. by Rogers, Walter S..

Publisher's black cloth-backed gray paper-covered boards, with spine lettered in silver foil; in its original black dust jacket designed by Lawrence Ratzkin, with gray and white lettering, and a photo of Didion attributed to her daughter, Quintana Roo Dunne, to rear panel. Fine book; very good unclipped dust jacket, with some light scratches to front panel, and rear panel with light soiling, a touch of toning to edges, and mild creasing to top. Overall, a fresh copy of this notable work of non-fiction by Didion. In Salvador, Joan Didion recounts her two-week trip to El Salvador in the summer of 1982, while the country was in the grip of the Salvadoran Civil War. Mixing her own personal experiences and observations with deft journalism, Didion criticizes the American government's intervention in El Salvador's politics, and conveys her increasing fear and anxiety during her stay in the volatile country. The book grew out of two long essays - "In El Salvador" and "El Salvador: Illusions" - that Didion contributed to the New York Review of Books at the end of 1982. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

Paris: Bossange Frères, 1825. Very Good -. Paris: Bossange Frères, n.d. [ca. 1825]. Presumed First French Edition. Oblong octavo (14.5 x 23 cm); publisher’s pictorial lilac paper-covered boards adorned with vignettes of two young girls, one skipping rope, the other playing badminton; iii,[4]-134pp.; six leaves of hand-colored aquatint plates. Ex-library with the early 20th-century gift bookplate to front free endpaper “From the books in the Children’s Room / A memorial to Nathaniel Thayer 1898–1927,” with Nathaniel Thayer’s personal bookplate on facing front pastedown (marred by deaccessioned rubber-stamps), otherwise free of library markings. Margins quite scuffed and rubbed with rather extensive chipping and exposure of boards beneath, front joint starting to crack but holding, else a Good to Very Good copy in this striking publisher’s binding, contents fresh and sound. Attributed to the German author Philipp Joseph Schalbacher, Journal de Christine adopts the form of a pedagogical study made by the father of two young children, a boy of five and a girl of four whom he observes without too much interference "knowing full well that, in order to bring oneself to their level of childlike personhood, one must avoid wielding over their inclinations any tyrannical constraint" (from the Preface, our translation). The publisher's binding beautifully encapsulates this spirit, the upper cover (repeating an image adorning the title page) depicting two young girls jumping rope and playing badminton—education which permits pleasure and sport while also encouraging good behavior and piety. Exceedingly uncommon institutionally, with three copies of this edition only as of August, 2024, all separately catalogued—at Texas A&M, the Morgan, and the BNF. Princeton adds a copy of the 1837 reprint edition. While this work arises periodically on the market, we find no copies in this lovely variant of the publisher's binding.

1775. (AMERICAN REVOLUTION) (BURKE, Edmund) TUCKER, Josiah. A Letter to Edmund Burke, Esq;Member of Parliament for the City of Bristol, and Agent for the Colony of New York, &c, In Answer to His Printed Speech, Said to Be Spoken in the House of Commons on the Twenty-second of March, 1775. Second Edition, Corrected. Gloucester: R. Raikes, 1775. Slim octavo, modern half brown calf and marbled boards, raised bands, gilt-lettered spine; pp. (1)-58 (2). $1600.Second edition, issued the same year as the first, of Josiah Tucker's impassioned and insightful response to Edmund Burke's famous speech of March 22, 1775, in which Burke urged reconciliation with the colonies—a course the prescient economist Tucker believed both foolish and fruitless, as he foresaw that the Americans' ""rapid economic growth and dislike of regulation would… eventually lead them to separate from Britain through self-interest.""""On 22 March 1775 Tucker's view of America was attacked in a speech by Edmund Burke, the recently elected MP for Bristol… In turn Tucker attacked as ridiculous Burke's plan to allow the colonies to regulate themselves within the empire. His Letter to Edmund Burke (1775) was the beginning of a systematic attack on the opinions of the friends of the American revolutionaries and the radical element within British politics… Tucker's developing attitude to the American colonies was motivated neither by a belief in free trade nor by any sympathy for the Americans themselves, a people he came to see as grasping and ungrateful. Their rapid economic growth and dislike of regulation would, he believed, eventually lead them to separate from Britain through self-interest. He argued that all colonies historically had their date of independence and, concerned that their radical political ideas would eventually infect Britain, he advocated as early as 1766 the separation of Britain and her American colonies"" (ODNB).""Convinced as he was that the Americans employed Lockean ideas of liberty solely in order to subvert British authority"" (Rashid, 459), Tucker asserts in this tract that Americans ""are now Mr. Locke's disciples"" and argues that given the ""manner the Americans pretend to understand him… they would necessarily unhinge, and destroy every Government upon Earth"" (page 11). ""Tucker believed that English forms of liberty depended on aristocratic rule and strong sense of community. He recognized that American traditions were different, grounded as they were in Puritan dissent, and he far preferred to let the colonies go than abandon the interlocking nature of English government."" Insisting that ""international trade was beneficial to all nations involved,"" his writings on the rebellious Americans sought to assure ""the British public that the exchange of British manufacturing goods for American resources would continue whether America remained in the empire or not… Tucker was not prepared to salvage the colonies in order to preside over the liquidation of the British political structure"" (Condon, Americanization of Benjamin Franklin).To historian Salim Rashid, ""it was not Tom Paine, but the Rev. Josiah Tucker who provided the first closely reasoned argument for American Independence… as early as 1766, before the Americans themselves had considered this eventuality."" While ""Tucker analyzed the American conflict more accurately than his contemporaries… so different were his views from all those around him that he has been noted… a 'visionary' (Trevelyan), or a 'fanatic' (Clark)"" (Rashid, 439). Tucker also points out the irony of colonial claims of jeopardized liberty, when the colonists themselves own ""vast multitudes of slaves."" First revised and ""corrected"" edition, stated ""Second Edition"" preceded by same year's first edition. With woodcut-engraved initials, head- and tailpieces. Bound with rear advertisement leaf. Adams, American Controversy 75-145b. Sabin 97353. Howe T387. Goldsmiths' 11302. Just a touch of dust soiling to title page. An attractively bound copy in fine condition.

Fedor Abramov was a Russian author and literary critic known for his affinity for writing about the hardships of the Russian peasants. His essay "Around the Bush" also centered on the difficult kolkhoz lives. The publisher of the essay, Alec Flegon, was the owner of "Flegon Press" and a controversial figure in the samizdat publishing circles in London in mid-20th century. He was the first to publish Mikhail Bulgakov's 'Heart of a Dog' and Alexander Solzhenitsyn's 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' as well as various versions of Pasternak's 'Doctor Zhivago.' He did not pay royalties to the authors under the pretext of helping them more than enough with just promoting their works. For that he was resented by many immigrants and was sued by Solzhenitsyn for piracy. He was also rumored to have had strong KGB ties as he was most successful smuggling manuscripts, phone directories, etc. from Russia to England. On the other hand, for his affordable editions and hard work, Flegon had numerous admirers and grateful readers.
