The Poultry Book

by Willis Grant Johnson and George Brown - editors

  • Used
  • good
  • Hardcover
  • first
1913 Doubleday Page and Company first edition thus. 1311 pages with numerous illustrations. This book combines the three volumes that were originally published separately in 1904/05. Features illustrations by Harrison Weir, along with photos of all kinds of fowl.

Condition of the book is Good. The binding is mostly sound, with the hinge partially cracked at the title page (see photo), and at a couple other locations. Inside pages are complete and unmarked. Condition issues include:

1) Moderate wear to the boards, including some discoloration to the spine and back panel cloth.

2) The aforementioned hinge cracks. The book is holding together well, but as with most thick, heavy books, it is prudent to handle the book with care to avoid too much stress to the binding.

In sum, a rare book, in reasonably sound shape, but showing some wear from prior use and age.

Standard shipping is USPS Media Mail. A shipping surcharge may be required for expedited or international shipping options.

Please message me with any questions.

Printed note to the contents: "The Author intended to have inserted a plan of an orchard ... but as it turned out to be inconvenient in point of size, and being of small importance, the idea was given up".

University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London, 1985. Hard Back. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition:as new 139 Pages. As new book with flawless interior text and photograph pages. Dust jacket price 28.95 is NOT clipped. For millions of Americans, Solomon D. Butcher's photographs epitomize the sod-house frontier. His late-nineteenth-century images from western Nebraska constitute the most extensive photographic record in existence of the generation that settled the Great Plains. The faces are unforgettable: jaunty bachelors and earnest husbands, Civil War veterans of both armies, spinster sod busters and determined mothers, cowhands, farmhands, and former slaves. All in search of land of their own. Originally published in 1985, this first book devoted to Butcher and his photographs presents a unique visual chronicle of Great Plains settlement and established Butcher's place in frontier photography. Everyone interested in the plains pioneers or historical American photography will prize this… Read More

[No-place]: M. Wood, circa 1882. 4 5/8 x 2 7/8" yellow label or recipe slip with directions for preparing "Archangel Ox & Reindeer Tongues" distributed by "M. Wood & Co., 73, Old Broad Street." We assume the tongues were imported to England from Russia. Though no date or city appears on the label we do find mention of this delicacy in an advertisement for the "Fortnum, Mason & Co." Piccadilly "Foreign Ware House" in the Dec. 29 1882 issue of "The Pembrokeshire Herald and General Advertiser" (a Welsh newspaper digitized and available online). One handwritten correction. Very good to near fine with light staining mostly to recto. Rare glimpse into the preparation recommended for a dining delicacy that would appear to have long since fallen from favor.
