Description:
London: Geoffrey Bles, 1956. 1st edition. A biography of Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904), British journalist and Africa explorer who led the expedition to find Scottish missionary David Livingstone. Stanley created an enduring catch phrase in 1871 and became the butt of constant jokes for his famous greeting, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" This book focuses on how the public ridicule deeply affected Stanley, even as he went on to become one of great figures of African exploration and colonization. xiii, 207 pages, notes and index. Several plates and a fold-out map of Stanley's routes. 8vo clothbound hardcover. VG in Good dust jacket. DJ is chipped at the spine ends and extremities. Protected by a clear archival cover.

Description:
NY: Covici, Friede. 1930 on the title page, but this is the 3rd printing from 1931. An early printing of the best-selling sex manual of all time. An unusually frank work on human sexuality and the art of physical love for married couples. Written by a Dutch gynecologist and supposedly for sale only to "physicians, lawyers, ministers, educators, and social workers." In practical effect, it became a bestseller with the general public for decades, despite (or partly because of) being added in 1931 to the Vatican's list of banned books. Clothbound 8vo in dust jacket. xxvi, 323 pp. Illustrated by 8 plates, some folding and in color. A slip is bound into the front of the book with the notice: "The sale of this book is strictly limited to members of the medical profession, Psychoanalysts, Scholars, and to such adults as may have a definite position in the field of Physiological, Psychological, or Social Research." Clothbound hardcover in dust jacket. VG overall, as shown. Some spotting of the outer…

Philadelphia: A. J. Rowland, 1897. 1st edition. Inscribed by Geil in 1899 "with Kindest regards of the author." VG with some fading and wear, but a sound copy overall. A narrative of his pilgrimage to the Greek isle of Patmos, an early Christian center where biblical historians believe John the Apostle was exiled, received his apocalyptic visions, and wrote the Book of Revelation.

Illustrated with a portrait, b&w photographic plates, a map, and small text illustrations. Geil (1865-1925) was born in Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
