Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA

Title: Thunderball
Author: Fleming, Ian
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: London: Jonathan Cape, 1961 First edition, first impression, first issue; in Gilbert's Binding A. Publisher's dark brown cloth with skeleton hand in blind to front board, spine lettered in gilt; in the original pictorial dust jacket designed by Richard Chopping, with an illustration to the front panel of a skeleton's hand holding a blackjack hand with a knife fixing the cards to the table, lettered in black. Near fine book, with light wear to foot of spine, bright gilt, a touch of soiling to bottom right corner of front board, bottom corners lightly bumped, and a gift inscription in black marker to front free endpaper; very good unclipped dust jacket, with light wear to spine ends, faint soiling to upper spine, light rubbing to rear panel, a touch of spotting to jacket, and lightly nicked corners. Overall, a very pleasing, tight copy. Gilbert A9a (1.1). Thunderball is the first of Fleming's novels to involve the notorious villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, head of the secret spy organization SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion). In this novel, Bond is in the Bahamas at a health clinic when SPECTRE steals two atomic bombs. The British and American intelligence agencies team up to launch Operation Thunderball in an effort to recover the weapons. Published only a few years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Fleming draws a parallel to pre-existing Cold War tensions to heighten the suspense of this novel. Thunderball culminates with a memorable underwater fight scene from which 007 only narrowly escapes. The Blofeld trilogy is continued in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1963) and You Only Live Twice (1964).. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

Seller: Bartlebys Books (United States)
Description: Augusta, GA: Scott & Mockbee, 1855. Printed broadside, 10 7/8 x 8 1/2 inches, on blue paper, the illustration in red and the title in alternating lines of red and green. A striking advertising promotional and solicitation for agents, touting the performance of the grinding mill in the mid-South and announcing sales of the mill in Georgia and South Carolina; includes a testimonial from an Augusta user "I consider it decidedly the best kind of crusher ever got up." The Augusta firm Scott & Mockbie ("Broad Street, Augusta, Georgia") had obtained exclusive right to manufacture and sell the mill in South Carolina and most of Georgia. Not in Hummel or the De Renne catalogue. Apparently not recorded on OCLC (which does record a similar broadside for a Philadelphia distributor). Folded, but a very good copy and a scarce example of multi-color printing in the ante-bellum south. (#5077).

Title: [Essex House, One of 38 in Vellum]. Mediaeval Architecture in Essex
Author: Godman, Ernest
Seller: Nelson Rare Books, ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Condition: Very good with bowing to boards which are a bit stained, with some offsetting to endpapers and morocco bookplate of W. A. Foyle,
Description: Banstead, Surrey: By the author [Essex House Press], 1905. First Edition. Very good with bowing to boards which are a bit stained, with some offsetting to endpapers and morocco bookplate of W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey.. First edition. #121 of 250 hand-numbered copies, of which this is one of 38 copies bound in full stiff vellum with green silk ties and gilt-lettered spine. See Norman Architecture in Essex, Bibliographical Note. Filled to the brim with 50 illustrations of buildings and architectural details, including one etched plate, eight photographic plates, and dozens of illustrations in the text (many of which are full-page). This study of medieval architecture in the county of Essex is a result of Essex House Press founder C. R. Ashbee's and Godman's intense interest in preserving historic architecture and Ashbee's involvement in William Morris's Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings. Godman was Ashbee's first architectural pupil and first secretary of Ashbee's Committee for the Survey of the Memorials of Greater London (which included parts of Essex and Middlesex). "[Godman] and Ashbee made an odd pair, the one was all fire and go, the other plodding along. . ." Crawford, C.R. Ashbee. Architect, Designer & Romantic Socialist (1985, pgs. 58-60, 216-17). This work was one in a series of six proposed architectural studies planned by Ashbee and Godman that was cut short by Godman's early death. 8vo. Tomkinson 58. Ransom 55. Crawford 58. Ashbee, pg. 79.
