Garden City / New York: Junior Books / Doubleday, Doran & Company, 1933. Book. Illus. by Bilibine, Ivan. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. In blue boards with red titles to upper board and spine. Illustrated with eight colour plates, eight black and white plates, and black and white in-text illustrations by Ivan Bilibine. Red endpapers with white illustrations of a frog wearing a crown. Top page edges stained red. Title page states "Junior Books." Stated first edition on copyright page. There is another version of this book that states "Junior Literary Guild" on title page and also states first edition on the copyright page. I suspect that my version is the true first, based on the fact that the Junior Literary Guild existed into the 1960s, and its imprint probably replaced the Junior Books imprint. Some wear to boards and spine, including small crunches at corners. A few very scattered and minor stains. No writing, inscriptions, bookplates, missing pages, or water damage. All plates in fine condition. Rare. Please email for more information or photographs..

William Blackwood. Edinburgh and London. 1906. Second edition (same year as the first). 8vo. xiv, 511pp. Frontis., 23 plates, 4 maps and plans, two folding in rear pocket. Original cloth, gilt. Faded and rubbed to spine. Hinges tender. Toned, with some spotting. Endpapers browned. Neat inscription to ffep.
Ellis Ashmead Bartlett (1881 - 1931) War correspondent. "I joined the Third Army at the commencement of August 1904, just before the first assault, remained attached to General Nogis headquarters until January 17, 1905, and entered the fortress with the victorious Japanese - one of my chief objects to place on record the obsolete method of fighting which characterised the siege - how men meet in masses to settle the disputes of their governments with bayonet, clubbed rifle and hand-grenade".
August 4, 1904 - January 2, 1905, the siege of Port Arthur on the Liaodong Peninsular of Manchuria was the longest battle of the Russo-Japanese War.
