First edition, "A", 1998, softcover. This modest paperback is difficult to find 1st edition and easily confused with later printings. This copy is complete and has been well read. There is a 3/4 inch tear to lower spine and a stain on the rear cover. What makes this collectible is that it is a true 1998 first edition preceding the much more common 1999 hardcover edition. Now in protective wraps. WorldCat (40847135) lists only 16 copies of the 1998 edition. Please see the scans of the book you will receive. ISBN: 0307988791.

First edition, first printing, hardcover with dust jacket in archival cover. Classic western fiction in fabulous dust jacket. DJ is price clipped; dj has ancient paper backing. I rate the dj as only fair due to accumulated wear not major damage. Minor chips to head of spine, price clipped, flaps reinforced now protected in archival cover. Interior has new endpapers, occasional foxing but no other markings, folds, signatures, vandalism or other problems. External board hinges have dark stains. I have seen several copies of this book with the same issue and I think it is due to the black ink from the dust jacket leaking through. Please see scans of the book you will receive. Feel free to ask questions. Notes: not to be confused with book of the same name by authors Donalds or Shirreffs published in 1956.

1847, first printing, 54 page pamphlet in fair to good condition. Wraps are nearly off, front is stained, title page heavily foxed with pencil notations of prior book seller. Interior is otherwise pretty good, minor to moderate foxing, no other writing or vandalism. Complete as issued. Scarce first printing of this satire on tobacco use.

Identification of the author is difficult - I have listed two common suggestions. I am pretty sure we can rule out Solomon Spittle. Item is rare: WordCat locates two copies of this printing (#237747794); none from this date are for sale. Please see scans of the item you will receive. Included in 'Medical' history as this pamphlet does more than hint at the health problems of tobacco users.

This is #5. I will sell the set at a discount if you inquire.
