Description
Venice Girolamo Albrizzi, 1696. 8vo., full crushed brown 19th century morocco with plain sides. Spine with five raised bands and gilt titling. Albrizzi, the publisher, has used a number of the wood blocks from the Giolito editions of Ovid's Le Trasformationi [1553 and afterwards]. In the present edition, there are a total of 73 images measuring approximately 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches, almost all of which, according to Ruth Mortimer, "...were designed for this [1553] edition." The history of the blocks is complicated, but according to Mortimer, "Henkel notes recurrence of the Giolito blocks as late as 1688." With the exception of Fables 1, 2, 3, 4, 16, 33 and 39 (which are offered in combination with other Fables), each of the 73 other Fables is printed in italic type one to a page, beneath one of the woodcuts. Below that, under the heading, ALLEGORIA, is a paragraph printed in roman type. The layout and (of course) the illustrations, in fact the very "feel" of the book, is entirely appropriate for the middle of the 15th century. It is altogether anachronistic. Girolamo Albrizzi, the publisher, is responsible for a number of important books, including: L'Originie del Danubo [1685]; Vincenzo Coronelli's Atlante veneto [1695], and Alessandro Locatelli's Racconto historico della Veneta guerra in Levante [1691]. A most CURIOUS AND HIGHLY APPEALING edition of Ovid. For a complete discussion of the blocks and of Harvard's fine Ovid holdings, see: Mortimer/Italian 342.

Description
Fairview Park, Ohio: AP Books, Inc., (1979). Quarto, hardcover (slick white photo. illus. boards), 229 pp. Fine. From lower cover: With the publication of Euclid Beach Park is Closed for the Season came an effort to document in detail a part of American history. The amusement park in the United States has been a familiar part of everyone’s childhood since the 1880s and has yet to be given the attention this important social feature demands. Response to the first publication about the Cleveland park went beyond any imagined expectation. The park, the subject, was and is important to thousands of people. The concept of a “Second Look” at Euclid Beach Park was only a natural conclusion for the publisher/authorship to draw. Due to the first book numerous new finds were brought forward and fresh new, illuminating, entertaining and meaningful materials were available for this look at the “Beach.” It is hoped that the advent of an unprecedented two books on one amusement park will only serve to demonstrate the significance of the subject of amusement parks and the unique character of that very special place known as Euclid Beach Park.
