Description:
Rare and early book on Ventriloquism (part of the larger category of Magic and Illusion Performance) in Scarce Dust Jacket! This is the first dust jacket on a book I have seen from before 1910 outside of a book fair or a prestigious collection.
Ventriloquism by Charles H. Olin Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Penn Publishing 1906. Contains several photographs, diagrams, and even an example of a dialogue between the ventriloquist and two dummies! Near Fine+ in Very Good+ Dustjacket! A very tight copy, most pages very clean, in scarce dust jacket! You just don't find books with their original dust jackets from prior to 1910 very often! Essentially complete, very slight edgewear to the top of spine and top edge, otherwise complete and intact! I could find very few examples of this book on WorldCat, and none for sale of the first edition, although some later edition copies are available. However, this may be the ONLY copy surviving in its original dust jacket, or at least one of very few. Probably… Read More

Description:
One of the Best Copies I Have Ever Seen of a Book from the 1920's!
Lazarus Laughed by Eugene O'Neill (author of Long Day's Journey Into Night and the Iceman Cometh) Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Boni and Liveright 1927. $2.50 cover price intact. FINE in Near Fine+ Dustjacket. An absolutely superior copy. The book itself appears like NEW, boards are very clean and crisp, corners straight, no reading wear at all, interior pages very clean and bright. Dust jacket is present and in just about as good a condition as you could ask for regarding a book from pre-1930. The dust jackert is very clean and bright, NO fraying or chips at all! Hint of a slit to top edge, very unnoticeable, and slight nicking to upper spine corners, else a very intact nearly perfect dust jacket! Just about as nice as you could ask for in a book which is 85 years old! I challenge anyone to find a better copy.NOTE: All modern books with dustjackets come with dustjacket covers.
ALSO: The picture is the actual item for sale.… Read More

Description:
Army and Navy Series: Brave Old Salt or Life on the Quarter Deck A Story of the Great Rebellion by Oliver Optic Hardcover Edition Boston: Lee and Shepard Publishers, 1894 or circa 1894-1910. The first edition probably appeared in 1866. Oliver Optic wrote many novels set during the American Civil War, often called "The Blue and the Gray" series.

Issue Points: Red pictorial boards, original copyright 1866 and renewed 1894 as per the copyright page. Clothed in a tan pictorial dust jacket which replicates the boards, without a price, blurb or text on the flaps, which probably means it was issued prior to no later than 1910 possibly pre-1900. (Blurbs on dust jackets began to appear circa 1906-7.)

Condition: Very Good+ in Very Good+ Dust Jacket. Probably scarce in original dust jacket. Book itself is relatively clean, firm binding with text-block firm to the boards (NO hinge splitting at all), boards clean, typical age-toning to the pages. Typical shelf-wear and aging, to be expected. Dust Jacket is… Read More

Description:
La Florida Antiquarian/Antique Hand-Colored Map displaying Southeast North America, what is now the South-Eastern United States with parts of what are now the states of Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and Mexico. Map 6 x 9 inches on rag paper (aka laid paper) sheet 8.25 x 10.3 inches. This map is regarded as the first printed map to feature the Florida peninsula when the territory was owned by the Spanish Empire areas of the New World. It first appeared in the 1584 edition of "Theatrum orbis terrarum". (The first edition of "Theatrum" was 1570 but did not include this map.)This engraved map is based on a drawing by Geronimo de Chiaves (1523-1574), the royal cosmographer and cartographer to Philip II, king of Spain. and appeared in 'Theatrum orbis terrarum' published by Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) in 1584. 'Cum Privilegio' in decorative cartouche on upper right. This map is probably based on accounts by members of the Hernando de Soto expedition (1539-1543) and is considered the first published map… Read More
