Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. This unique reproduction is the how-to directory which guided wealthy American heiresses in their quest to marry a titled British aristocrat in the turn-of-the-century Downton Abbey era, the core story of the TV series itself. A fascinating Introduction to the Dollar Princess trade by noted historian Eric Homberger explains the phenomenon of American brides exchanging enormous dowries for the right to be the Lady of a great English manor. What would entice a young American bride to leave their families, homes and everything familiar to travel thousands of miles away to a land and culture with a myriad of rigid and absolutely foreign social rules, traditions and customs? The bachelors who are chronicled in Titled Americans drew the attention of many aspiring American bridal prospects who thumbed through the pages of this Who's Who of British aristocracy, letting their hearts fill with the fantasy of being the Lady of a great estate as they mulled over the directory's full details of every bachelor's income, property value and net worth.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW THE MAN IN THE STREET STORIES 1902 OVER 600 HUMOROUS STORIES. Here is another example where I resorted to looking up the Author on Wikipedia and although I found a reasonably fulsome reference there was no indication that he was a writer. Please find an excerpt from Wikipedia about the Author/Editor: Chauncey Mitchell Depew (April 23, 1834 April 5, 1928) was an American attorney, businessman, and Republican politician. He is best remembered for his two terms as United States Senator from New York and for his work for Cornelius Vanderbilt, as an attorney and as president of the New York Central Railroad. Please find then: The Man in the Street Stories from the New York Times with an Introduction by Chauncey M. Depew. This small hard cover book (5 ¼ x 7 ½ inches 310 pages plus 7 pages of publisher s adverts) was published by J.S. Ogilvie Publishing Company of New York dated 1902 and apparently the First Edition. According to the title page it contains over six hundred humorous after-dinner stories about prominent persons. The book is bound in gray boards with black & white decorations and titles on the cover and spine. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers show some wear to the decorations especially on the white of the spine. They are slightly bumped and a small spot of brown stain on the rear board. Inside the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright throughout with the exception of one page where a blank clipping left a shaded spot (nothing drastic). The last page of the index is torn from the bottom up about 2 ½ inches probably from a binding error. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
