A propos de cet article

Alexandria, Virginia: Time Life Books, 1982. A gorgeous, pristine copy Bound in GENUINE LEATHER. New condition. Bright, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. No corner bumps. No owner's name. Not a remainder. Fresh and crisp, obviously never read. The binding on this copy is GENUINE LEATHER, superior to the cheaper leatherette (imitation leather) found on some later printings. Although at first glance, leatherette can look a lot like leather, it does not age as gracefully in the long run. Laid-in is a letter from the publisher, which says in part: "This leather-bound volume." There is also a statement printed in the book on a preliminary page: "This volume is bound in leather." [These references to "leather" were later removed from the leatherette copies]. The binding is gilt stamped, and embossed with a handsome western motif (including rising sun, longhorn steer, tomahawk, and six shooter/bullets). A silk ribbon page-marker is sewn into the headband. All edges gilt. Attractive marbled endpapers. A volume in the Classics of the Old West series. Illustrated with 8 plates, 6 by Charles M. Russell. See: Howes H139; [Final Edition H140]. Autobiography of a man who learned the fur trade from Bill Williams. Laid-in is the publisher's introductory letter, which says in part: "There is no better guide to the lives and achievements [of fur trappers / mountain men] than William Thomas Hamilton's MY SIXTY YEARS ON THE PLAINS. The book not only details the trappers' work, their relations with Indians. it also reveals the occupations the plainsmen and mountain men turned to when trapping failed [starting in the 1840s]. Among these jobs were leading hunting parties, guiding scientific expeditions and parties of settlers; looking for gold, fighting Indians, scouting for the Army. Hamilton tried them all. Here is his story." . Reprint of the 1905 edition. Hardcover. New condition/No dust jacket, as issued. Illus. by Russell, Charles M. 8vo. 244pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
