Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

(no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, light wear to extremities, a teensy bit of fraying at the base of the spine]. (B&W photographs, endpaper maps) INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the half-title page: "with / Best Wishes to / John, E J Waddell / From / [Eskimo characters] / Anauta"; with additional inscription in the same hand: "with the compliments of your friend / Will J. McEwen," with a Marion IN address (in a very different hand) added. [See second scanned image with this listing.] Per Wikipedia, the subject of this book "was an Arctic author, memoirist and lecturer [who] is best known for [this book], which may be the first book-length autobiography of an Inuk." Born on Baffin Island circa 1890, she moved around a bit before settling in Indianapolis around 1920; with the help of a newspaper cartoonist, she began to hit the lecture circuit in 1929, where she was billed as "the only Eskimo woman on the American platform." Of this book, a collaboration with children's author Washburne, Wikipedia writes that "the story was certainly embellished for a white audience, with Blackmore claiming to have been adopted and rasied by an Inuk woman." The book contains a page presenting the Baffin Island Eskimo alphabet, and a 3-page glossary of Eskimo words. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that signed copies of this book are highly uncommon. (Please excuse the wavy lines in the scanned image of the book's cover; this is a function of my scanner, and are NOT present on the book itself.) Signed by Biographee.

Shop-Beschreibung

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.
