Description:
New York: The Cortes Society, 1917. Hardcover. First issue of this translation, a handsome small hardbound, buff boards bearing two-color title-label under brown buckram backstrip, also has a [spine]-title label. Find a small but very bad impact dent to tail of rear cover, causing a deep fissure in the buckram'd cover and severe wrinkles in the latter half of all text-leaf margins. Corner-tips are also damaged. Item looks good in a general way, physically tight and square, but within has another sort of damage: textblock was left untrimmed and signatures unopened, and there are long stretches "opened" by someone confidently ignorant of the how-to-to-its of opening connected leaves (use the flat of a table knife, close the book upon it, and pray to Caxton). Finally, both labels are dim, and the spine label also scuffed. Presentable, but a fair to good copy only. Documents and Narratives concerning the discovery and conquest of Latin America. The Cortes Society New York, number two.

Description:
Chicago: W.D. Boyce Company, 1928. Hardcover. xviii, 125p., presswork on semi-glazed alkaline paperstock, profusely illustrated with b&w photos taken on-site in unmapped New Guinea, hardbound in black cloth boards titled and ruled in gilt. Rear endsheets are doublespread maps in colors. Front endsheets appear to be constituted of a cancel onlay that emphasizes the memorial function of this issue; p.125 may also be a cancel/insert. Condition: several inches of the gold title-border have flaked away, there is edgewear of extremities, but hinges are good, the text clean and unmarked. A good toi very good copy. The Boyce company advertises other items it publishes, even on this title page itself, namely "The Blade and Leger, Extra Money, Movie Romances, Illustrated South America".. &c &c. The probable triviality of these other books need not impugn the item in hand, which is quite interesting; the deceased had a knack for people of every sort. He died young (and sorely missed) of an embolism.
