A propos de cet article

First Edition. Hardcover. 9 1/4" X 6 1/4". 25pp. One of 197 copies signed by H. G. Pickering. A humorous and finely printed "diurnal postulation" on the tribulations of marriage and the noble escape of fly-fishing, composed by H.G. Pickering, past president of the Anglers' Club of New York. Printed in a limited edition of only 197 signed copies, this copy is #122 of 197, signed by the author on the title page. Bound in the original blind-stamped black cloth boards with gilt title to the front cover, in remarkably fine condition, preserved under clear protective mylar. Internally clean and bright. Of special note is the laid-in printed Christmas card from "Susan and Harold," bearing a light verse referencing political dismay (likely an upper class swipe at FDR) and holiday cheer, with an original illustrated cover titled "Sarge and Judy", depicting two beloved dogs in a style suggestive of private gift ephemera. This does not appear to be publisher-issued but likely reflectS a personal holiday greeting from the author and his wife, Susan Shipp Pickering. While undocumented as far as we can find, the card's presence offers intriguing additonal association value and charm. Housed in a custom plain tan slipcase, likely created by a collector to protect the book. While not original to the Derrydale Press, the case fits precisely and enhances preservation. A pristine example of this Derrydale gem, made all the more compelling by its ephemera and gift-like presentation-ideal for collectors of fine press sporting books, angling literature, or New York angling club history.…

Description de la boutique

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.…
