Hibberd, dated 1870; final leaf signed by Hibberd and dated "Christmas 1870." ◆Wrappers lightly soiled with half a dozen tiny chips or wrinkles to edges, minor thumbing to a corner of the first leaf, but a well-preserved copy of an easily damaged item, the binding still bright and tight, and the leaves with their careful calligraphy remarkably clean and fresh.The neatly copied penmanship exercises in this book lack ornate flourishes, but were no doubt essential to Master Hibberd's success in life.

Description:
Publisher's cream-colored paper boards backed with black buckram. In the original blue slipcase with illustrated paper label on side (lightly soiled, with residue of a small sticker on one side). ◆Binding and contents in mint condition.This is a very fine copy of Capote's autobiographical short story about family and the trials and tribulations of childhood, in which the narrator learns a hard lesson about the price of revenge when he publicly embarrasses the school bully. As the colophon to the present work explains, "Until he was ten years old, Truman Capote lived with a family of distant and elderly cousins in a small town in rural Alabama. . . . [This] is a frankly autobiographical story about those years, and especially of his relationship with one of the cousins, Miss Sook Faul. The photograph on the cover of this edition is of the author and Miss Faulk, who died in 1938 while Mr. Capote was a student at a military academy in New York State.".

Each leaf with two or more one- to two-line initials painted in blue or maroon with delicate white tracery and charming enclosed flowers, all on a field of burnished gold, the left or right margin on one or both sides with a bar border of blue and white, terminating in gold ivy leaves in the upper and lower margins. ◆The bar borders just slightly trimmed by the binder, otherwise in excellent condition, the text well preserved, the vellum unusually clean, the colors quite bright, and the glistening gold without any erosion or loss of brilliance. Taken from an intact manuscript we sold in 2006 that was subsequently dismembered, these lovely leaves have considerable aesthetic appeal and charm as well as notable interest because of their surprising size, distinctive musical and textual content, and peculiar hypothetical provenance.
