THIJSSE, JAC.P. Nederlandsche Vogels. Zwolle, Erven J.J. Tijl, (ca. 1915).
Album with 12 beautiful plates of birds, for the school teacher to illustrate his lessons on natural history. The plates were probably handed around, as they seem just too small for hanging in the front of the classroom. Size of the plates is ca. 37 x 31 cm., including ample margins. The titles read: "Aan Zee", with birds from the seaside, "Vliegenjagers", with singing birds mainly eating flies, "In 't Naardermeer", with birds living on the lake, "In 't Rietland", with singing birds living near brooks, "De Eenden", with all kinds of ducks, "Nawinter", with birds passing on their way south, "In de weide", with birds living in meadows, "De Dikbekken", with birds with rather thick beaks, "Bij huis", with birds living near the house, "Miereneters", with birds mainly eating ants, and "Oktober", with singing birds eating berries. All birds are finely drawn and colour-printed. The artist, Sjoerd Kuperus, born in 1893 on the Dutch isle of Texel, was a pupil of Albert Hahn and Jan Sluyters.

TRADE PAPERBACK, in illustrated wrapper, is in VERY GOOD condition with age darkening to pages and owners inscription on the dedication page. Back wrapper notes read: "California teenager Torrance Spoor showed the bizarre letter from his long absent father, the Baron Malcolm Spoor, only to his best friend, Ricky. It rambled on about hounds from hell and sepia roses, a curse of madnessÖand an invitation for Torrance to live with the baron at his seaside New England mansion. But what was waiting for Torrance is worse than his wildest imagings. A Gothic house filled with secrets and locked rooms. His father's muscular bodyguard/slave Pip. Twelve dogs with red eyes and a taste for blood. A room full of sepia roses..and The Living One, watching, waiting, and wanting Torrance with a shuddering intensity more terrifying than death. Lewis Gannett's suspenseful blend of gothic thriller and gay erotica is about ESP, the supernatural, body thievery, love and lust-straight, gay, and forms yet unnamed. Vivid, mythic, sensual, it has everything: a centuries-old curse, voyeuristic sex, family sins, murderous tensions between fathers and sons, and things that go bump in the night."
