A propos de cet article

Scoville, Samuel, Jr. Man and Beast. New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1932. Second edition. Octavo, pp. [i-iv] v [vi] 3-284 [note: text complete despite initial gap in pagination] [note: title page is a cancel]. Original orange cloth, front and spine panels stamped in black, fore-edge untrimmed. Illustrated with eight inserted plates by Charles Livingston Bull, and with pictorial endpapers. First published in 1926 by Harcourt Brace, the present edition has the same page count as the first; it's probable that this edition was made up from unsold copies of the Harcourt edition with an inserted cancel title page bearing the name of the new publisher and then rebound. Both editions are now uncommon. Damp staining to part of rear cover with faint continuation of dampness to lower corner of last dozen or so leaves, otherwise a nice copy with unopened pages in a good pictorial dust jacket, damp stained in same area and a bit soiled on front panel. #950. $45. Thirteen animal stories portraying the dramas of predator and prey. Ten are set in South Africa, two in America, one in Malay.…

Description de la boutique

When I began my bookselling business in 1996 I called it "Eldritch Books" because that adjective at least partly covered the type of material I offered (and because its similarity to my own surname seemed so -- eldritch). "Ghost stories" would be another handy, if somewhat reductive, term. Most of it is fiction from the 19th and early 20th century with a strong emphasis on the fantastic. Since the most familiar and relevant genre terms in use today -- "science fiction," "fantasy," "supernatural," "horror" -- were not so much in use when these books were first published, pegging them that way can be anachronistic. But that should give you the general idea. I don't have much in the way of American pulp (either in magazine or specialty press book form) but otherwise my interests range widely from high-brow to middle-brow to low-brow to amateur/eccentric. You're more likely to find rare and obscure works here than high spots. (Or at least they're obscure now, whatever their status was when first published.) In 2001 I went to work for L. W. Currey as cataloguer and general assistant. Since 2014 I've been back working on my own. I have exhibited at convention fairs (such as WFC and Readercon) in the past. I began collecting and studying antiquarian fantasy around 1980. Some of my essays have appeared in genre publications such as NYRSF, Wormwood and F&SF. I tend to carefully research my inventory and write extensive notes. (If another dealer wishes to make use of any of these notes, I'd appreciate the courtesy of putting such excerpts in quotes and giving proper attribution to me. That's what I do when I quote from any of my reference works.) I will be gradually listing my inventory on ABE over the coming years. I hope you find something of interest. …
