1852 softcover pamphlet discussing the downside of tobacco. When I got this the cover was off. Volume has had some restoration: cover is backed with matching paper and is reattached. Paper and binding are fragile but overall readable with a gentle touch. Primary defect is the corner off the front page. Interior has foxing and stains but no vandalism. I think the author comes out of the same group that published Solomon Spittle (which I also have listed). 1852 is the first year this was published but this is titled "Fourth Thousand" so this is an early printing. Has 8 plates that are included in pagination. 179 pages, complete as issued. An uncommon item generally found in poor condition. This is decent not great (which sometimes is the best you can do). Topic is health problems of tobacco. Discusses addiction, acute toxicity, chronic health problems including heart and lung disease as well as problems of second hand smoke. Feel free to inquire. Please see scans of the book you will receive.

Hardcover, 1885, Philadelphia. Condition is very good: decorative blindstamped and gilt boards. Front hinge is open at gutter but binding is not affected, just a crack in the paper. Interior is excellent: a few smudges are seen but no writing, tears or folds. Paginates complete with 300 pages plus all blanks. Includes 73 full page plates and many more images embedded in text. This is a collection of almost every nautical disaster of the period notable for the extensive illustrations and decorative flourishes on almost every page. Check out the "Triodon" image. All that and shelf presence too. A rare but not particularly valuable item. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: Copyright on this is 1854. You would think then that a copy earlier than 1885 could be found but you would be wrong. There are undated copies that may or may not be earlier. WorldCat locates a single copy of this 1885 issue. See OCLC 81608148. For collectors, dealers and terminally curious I have prepared a short… Read More

Four volume hardcover set of Verne titles. The standout feature of this set is the condition which is Near Fine. Decorative blind stamped boards of blue cloth. Minor abrasions can be seen on the front and rear boards. The interiors have no writing, folds or other evidence of use. The paper is moderately toned and somewhat fragile. The only defect I can find is the ffep of Michael Strogoff which partially cracked when I was trying to image the title page. So handle with care, these are not reading copies. A curious feature seen in three volumes is the font size drops in the final few pages. Volumes are 7.25 x 5 inches. A very cool set with nice shelf presence. This is an uncommon edition. I assume there are other Verne titles with this binding but I could not find them. Please see images of the books you will receive. Feel free to inquire. Notes: I did some research to determine date of publication. I am assuming that Hurst published these more or less at the same time. Claudius Bombarnac was first… Read More
