Description
1876. With Nine Illustrations by Henry Holiday. London: Macmillan and Co., 1876. Original buff cloth pictorially decorated in black, all page edges gilt. First Edition of this poetical nonsense tale, both funny and subtle, that "describes with infinite humour the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature" [WM&G]. The crew consists of a Bellman, a Bonnet-Maker, a Barrister, a Broker, a Billiard-Maker, a Banker, a Butcher, a Baker, a Beaver and (the only one not illustrated) "a Boots." In his dedicatory verse to Gertrude Chataway, Carroll hid the child's name twice. This is a very good-plus copy: as usual with these flexible boards, there is bubbling of the cloth, but there is little soil or wear other than some dirty-fingers on a few pages; the dark green-coated endpapers are intact. Williams Madan & Green 115.

"As the main activist arm of the Abolition Movement, the [The American Anti-Slavery Society (AASS)] was founded in 1833 under the leadership of William Lloyd Garrison." (Brittanica). "In 1833, sixty abolitionist leaders met in Philadelphia to create a national organization to bring about the immediate emancipation of enslaved persons. The American Anti-Slavery Society (AASS) produced such publications as The Slave's Friend, a monthly pamphlet for children; issued broadsides; sponsored public lectures; and encouraged civil disobedience and boycotts of cotton and other products of slave labor. In 1841, Frederick Douglass joined AASS and often traveled and made speeches on its behalf. He delivered 'What the Black Man Wants' at the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in 1865, just days before the end of the Civil War. AASS was dissolved in 1870, five years after the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was ratified." (Library of Congress). HBS 69162. $750.

Salt Lake City: The Church Historian's Press, 20015. First Editions. 2 volumes. 539,437pp. Quartos [31 cm] Dark blue cloth with titles gilt stamped on the backstrip and facsimile Joseph Smith signatures gilt stamped on the front boards. Both volumes fine in like jackets. The Printer's Manuscript of the Book of Mormon, is the third volume (in two parts) in the Revelations and Translations series of The Joseph Smith Papers. These works feature a transcript and a complete, never-before-published set of photographs of the manuscript, giving readers unprecedented access to this document. The Joseph Smith Papers Project is the comprehensive edition, and includes all known and available documents by Joseph Smith (1805-1844) the founding prophet and first president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This ambitious project includes 1,306 journal entries, 643 letters, and 155 revelations. The diversity and expansiveness of this documentary collection stem from Smith's extensive leadership in religious and civic roles. He was a translator, revelator, church president, city builder, mayor, city council member, judge, militia leader, and presidential candidate, and his papers reflect all those roles. These volumes provide essential resources for the study of Joseph Smith's life and times.

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2005 First edition, Advance Reader's Edition. Publisher's pictorial red wrappers designed by Chip Kidd, with additional black promotional flap lettered in white. Very good, with vertical crease marks to spine, some very light rubbing to edges of wrappers, and light soiling to text block edges and top right of rear panel. Overall, a solid and internally clean copy. FROM B&B: No Country for Old Men is a novel about a fouled-up illegal drug deal in rural Texas along the border of the United States and Mexico that develops into a game of cat-and-mouse among the novel's main characters. As the novel progresses and "the pursuit stretches up and down and across the border," the main characters are, as the dust jacket explains, "seemingly determined to answer the question they each ask each other: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?" No Country for Old Men is celebrated for McCarthy's eloquent prose and lauded by some as the author's best novel. The novel takes its title from William Butler Yeats' poem "Sailing to Byzantium," which was first published in his 1928 collection of poetry The Tower. In 2007, the Coen Brothers adapted No Country for Old Men into a popular film starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. Advanced Reading Copy (ARC).

EDWARD SACKVILLE-WEST (1901-1965). Sackville-West was a British musician, writer, and politician.TLS. 1pg. 6 x 8. October 31, 1948. Long Crichel House, Wimborne, Dorset. A typed letter signed Edward Sackville West. On letterhead of his home in Dorest, Sackville-West responded to someone requesting quotes to include in a dictionary. Dear Sir, I think you for your letter, but, while feeling much flattered that you should wish to include quotations from my work in your proposed dictionary, I feel uncertain what kind f thing you want. Observations on life? I suppose my books contain such, but I cannot recall any offhand and should have to re-read all my novels to find them an unthinkable task! On the other hand, if it is examples of prose critical and/or descriptive you are looking for, I daresay I might point out a few that I still like. If you would just give me a definite line, I will do my best to help. Yours very truly, Edward Sackville West. The letter is in fine condition with mailing folds.
