Description:
New York:: Fleet Publishing Corporation, , (1964.). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fair condition only in a fair dustjacket (bumped at several corners, also bumped and dented at bottom center of front cover - hard enough to have created a short split in the board; jacket is price-clipped and has several ragged tears and associated creasing along the bottom edge of the front panel, along with internal tape repairs. . First printing. SIGNED by the book's subject with his birth name, "Cassius Clay" -- a rare signature and especially so in this rather hard-to-find book, the first published biography of the great heavyweight champion. Issued later in the same year in which Clay took the heavyweight crown away from Sonny Liston (in their February 1964 bout), the book includes an account of the turbulent months that followed -- including the new champ's relationship with Malcolm X and his conversion to Islam, the controversy over his draft status, his much-publicized trip to…

The Age of Innocence - Edith Wharton (1st Edition, 1st Printing 1920 Hardcover)
*Please Note: In mid 2016, this book had minor work performed to mend a 1-inch detached tear at the spine head exposing the top of the textblock signatures that the previous owner attempted to mend or keep intact with scotch tape, all of which was removed and repaired. Some edge wear and nicks on the hardcovers were also touched up. The repair work was performed by Eidolon House, a notable bindery, to merely conserve the book and not fully restore it.*
A true 1st edition, 1st printing! Copyright 1920, published by Appleton and Company (New York). First printing with a (1) at the bottom of page 365 and page 186, line 7 reads "Forasmuch as it hath please Almighty God," with later printings having been changed to "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here." No dust jacket is available. Deep red hardcovers have lightly bumped corners and edges, with only minor wear-through on the foreedge corners. A previous 1" x 1/2" fade on the front cover from a previous sticker was touched up during repair. There is minimal fading and nicks on the spine and wear to the hinges. The front pastedown has a ripple or thin-line bubble that resonates a wrinkle from the first page through page 25. The textblock has some smudges (primarily the foreedge) and light foxing. There was a nick to the top of the textblock that left nicks on the top of pages 339 to 365. Although the pages are lightly tanning, the binding is tight. A few pages have foxing at the corners and page 43-44 has a dog-ear, but there is no writing or markings in the book. Overall, this true first printing of this Pulitzer Prize winning classic is in Very Good Plus (VG+) condition. Please see the photos on this item or feel free to send us any questions you might have. We can send photos of the book before the work was done if desired. Also, we've included photos but if you need more, please contact us.

Venezia (Venice): Carlo Pecora, 1744. Two volumes (3 & 4 of 6) bound as one. Large 4to. Early full vellum binding with a brown leather title patch; all edges gilt; marbled pastedown endpapers. Parallel texts in Italian and French for seventy-two fables, each illustrated with a beautiful full-page color etching by Fossati. Each etching is printed in one of various shades of red, orange, brown, green, blue and black. In addition to the 72 plates, there are engraved vignettes on the 4 title pages, a red engraved headpiece for volume 3, and an engraved tailpiece following the text for each of the fables. Fossati (1706-1778) was an Italian architect who also was a very good printmaker and book illustrator. For the fables he portrayed animals realistically and used his architectural training for accurate renderings of baroque buildings. A rare title: OCLC locates only 13 libraries with any of the volumes. Ours is a very nice (vg+) copy with text and plates on clean and supple laid paper; very…
