Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Publication: New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1894 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [vi], 236. Condition Report: Good. The binding remains firm and structurally intact, though the original publisher's brown cloth exhibits noticeable exterior wear, including a prominent rectangular stain (likely sunning or moisture-offset) across the front board and typical rubbing to the spine ends and corners. Internally, the text block is relatively clean, retaining its original untrimmed deckle edges. Preliminary leaves show expected evidence of institutional use, most notably paper skinning and adhesive residue to the front pastedown from a removed library pocket, alongside period ink inscriptions and a date stamp. Interior pages remain bright and largely free from significant foxing or tearing. Catalogue Note: First American edition of Linton's memoir, issued in the publisher's original brown cloth and distinguished by a gilt facsimile of the author's signature on the front board. The text opens with a frontispiece portrait of the author, shielded by its original tissue guard. The volume carries localized provenance from the South Bridgton Circulating Library in Maine. The institutional markings, including an early acquisition inscription dated October 1, 1895, on the title page, root the book firmly within the context of late 19th-century American community lending libraries. While the text is well-represented in institutional holdings, surviving first editions in their original bindings remain an appealing primary source for collectors of 19th-century radicalism and printing history. A captivating memoir by the prominent English wood engraver, political reformer, and poet, William James Linton (1812-1897). Spanning seven vital decades, Threescore and Ten Years chronicles Linton's rich and active life during a transformative era. From his early days in London working alongside leading figures of the Chartist movement and European republicans, to his later years establishing the renowned Appledore Press in Connecticut, Linton offers intimate and spirited recollections of his contemporaries. His vivid sketches of celebrated artists, writers, and revolutionaries, including Giuseppe Mazzini, Thomas Carlyle, and Walt Whitman, provide an invaluable firsthand perspective on the dynamic intellectual and political currents that shaped the nineteenth century.…

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Publication: New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1904 Formatting: Small 8vo, pp. [viii], 79. Condition Report: Good. The original green cloth binding remains sound and securely intact, presenting with light rubbing to the board edges and very mild softening at the spine ends. Internally, the hinges are solid. The most prominent defect is a conspicuous water stain affecting the lower margins and gutter of the preliminary leaves, including the frontispiece, tissue guard, title page, and contents page, though this tide mark does not encroach upon or obscure the printed text. The main text block is otherwise largely clean and legible, exhibiting only faint, scattered toning. The front free endpaper bears a neat contemporary ink inscription, with no further annotations, markings, or extraneous marginalia present throughout the volume. Catalogue Note: This early twentieth-century printing, originally copyrighted in 1900, features Annie Trumbull Slosson's characteristic blend of moral storytelling and regional New England dialect. Bound in the publisher's dark-stamped green cloth, the volume includes a frontispiece protected by its original tissue guard. The front free endpaper carries a charming contemporary provenance inscription dated 1905, reading: "Jessie Oates / From a friend in / America." While this serves as an interesting artifact of transatlantic readership, early printings of Slossonâs works are frequently encountered on the open market. The title remains modestly collected by those interested in late Victorian and Edwardian regional American fiction. In Story-Tell Lib, Annie Trumbull Slosson presents a moving collection of seven short tales set against the rural backdrop of New England. The narrative centers on a young, physically disabled girl known as "Lib," who possesses a profound and captivating gift for storytelling. Through her local dialect and deeply spiritual parables, Lib imparts lessons of faith, nature, and human resilience, leaving a lasting impact on her community. N/A (illustrator).…

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Publication: New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1961 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 192. Condition Report: Very Good. The book presents exceptionally well, tightly bound in the original publisher's woven tan cloth, which remains robust and square with virtually no shelf-wear or bumping to the boards. The green stamped lettering to the spine is wonderfully crisp, bright, and entirely unoxidised. Internally, the pages are uniformly clean, bright, and completely free from foxing or previous ownership inscriptions, exhibiting just the faintest hint of natural age-toning to the upper edges. It is housed in a highly presentable dust jacket that retains its striking, vibrant colours without sun-fading. The jacket exhibits only very minor rubbing along the panel extremities and trivial, shallow nicks at the extreme spine ends, standing as an excellent, well-preserved example. Catalogue Note: This is the true First US Edition of the novel, definitively identified by the publisherâs code "A-2.61[V]" printed on the copyright page, indicating a February 1961 printing by the Vail-Ballou Press. The novel was initially published three years prior in the United Kingdom under the alternative title Strike for Death. The book is an unillustrated, standard trade hardback from Charles Scribner's Sons' mystery line. True first printings of Creasey's Scribner editions from this era are becoming increasingly uncommon on the open market, particularly when found with their original dust jackets in such sharp, unsunned condition. The volume bears no formal provenance, bookplates, or significant internal inscriptions, leaving the text block exceptionally clean. In this gripping instalment of the Inspector West series, Scotland Yardâs finest is called to defuse a volatile labour dispute at a major automobile plant that rapidly escalates into a brutal murder investigation. What begins as a resentful strikeâ"marked by rotting fruit thrown at the chairman's wifeâ"turns deadly when a ringleader is fatally beaten. As Roger West delves into the toxic animosity between management and the workers, two more bodies surface, revealing a sinister, calculated conspiracy that proves far more dangerous than simple industrial unrest.

hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. Publication: New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1960 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 183. Condition Report: Near Fine. This copy presents exceptionally well, characterised by the striking brightness of the publisher's original cloth and the tightness of the binding, which remains square and structurally uncompromised. The boards are clean and sharp, displaying only the most trivial hints of softening at the spine extremities, completely free of the rubbing or shelf-wear typically encountered on volumes of this vintage. Internally, the text block is clean, crisp, and firmly secured; while there is a faint, uniform age-toning to the page edges, it is unobtrusive and does not detract from the book's overall aesthetic appeal. The unclipped dust jacket is similarly well-preserved, exhibiting vibrant, unfaded colours on the front panel and spine, with only microscopic instances of edge-wear at the extreme corner tips. Catalogue Note: This volume is a true First US Edition, verified by the 'A-7.60[H]' code printed on the copyright page, denoting the initial Scribner press run from July of that year. Originally released in the United Kingdom five years prior under the alternate title Two for Inspector West, this American imprint features a completely distinct binding and striking dust jacket design unique to the US market. The book is unillustrated, relying entirely on Creasey's sharp prose. In terms of provenance, the volume remains entirely unsullied by previous ownership marks; it is devoid of bookplates, binders' stamps, or personal inscriptions, preserving a highly clean state. While later secondary printings and book club variants of Creasey's work frequently surface, encountering a true first printing of this specific edition in such an unblemished, vibrant dust jacket is increasingly uncommon on the open market. It stands as a scarce and desirable acquisition for discerning collectors of mid-century detective fiction. When a complex web of deceit connects a tranquil Sussex village to the bombed-out ruins of London, Chief Inspector Roger West is plunged into one of his most challenging cases yet. On the hunt for a missing man wanted for a double killing, West must decipher a seven-year-old crime that perfectly mirrors the present-day murders. Fast-paced and masterfully plotted, this classic police procedural showcases the Inspector's relentless determination to untangle a deadly mystery before the body count can rise any further.
