About This Item
New York: George H. Doran Co. Book. Illus. by Kay Nielsen. Very Good. Decorative Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Light violet cloth, lettered and illus. in black. Cloth on both covers is moderately rubbed, with lettering and illustration thus a bit indistinct, otherwise only modest shelf wear. xv,17-244 pp., illus. w/ (16) full page color plates (bound in, not tipped in), also b&w illus. in text, decorative borders. Firm binding, clean interior. No statement of edition or printing, no colophon (as per typical method of designation w/ Doran), but clearly a vintage edition - not, we suspect, a first, though we have found other copies identical to ours listed as firsts. Scarce..

About Saucony Book Shop
The Saucony Book Shop, located in the heart of scenic rural Berks County, epicenter of Pennsylvania German folk culture (our shop specialty), offers a full range of gently used, rare, and antiquarian books, with many volumes of scholarly merit and an unabashed emphasis on the quaint, the curious, and the utterly obscure. We make no attempt to be a general-service book shop. Our inventory is highly selective, individually chosen from among the hundreds of thousands of books to which we have access annually at auctions, library and estate sales, and through individual scouts and vendors. We do not handle material that does not meet our expectations in terms of condition or interest to our specialized, idiosyncratic customers. Despite maintaining a browsing inventory of more than 15,000 volumes, we have minimized our carbon footprint by maintaining our entire operation in a cozy ca. 1890 barn and lean-to adjacent to an historic creamery in rural Maxatawny Township. Our shop is available for browsing by appointment and occasionally, in temperate weather, by chance, so email or call ahead to peruse the eclectic selection gracing our shelves, or ask our ferociously over-read staff for recommendations. Selling antiquarian books of merit since 1981. Full search and appraisal services; always keenly interested in purchasing quality used books, whether by the piece or by the bushel. Thanks for reading about us! Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
