A propos de cet article

Four smart volumes from American author and book collector Alfred Edward Newton. Four volumes. Written by or with contributions from Alfred Edward Newton, an American industrialist better known as an author and avid book collector. At the time of his death, it was estimated that he had approximately ten thousand books in his collection, focusing on English and American literary works. This collection contains: Now, Even As Then, 1933. Privately printed. With a frontispiece and four in-text images. The life and letters of wealthy American businessman and investor Timothy Bancroft. Introduction by Alfred Edward Newton. Bibliography and Pseudo-Bibliography, 1936. Second printing. With a frontispiece. An engaging account of the personal pleasures of book collecting - a delightful and informative read. Newton on Blackstone, 1937. First edition, limited to two thousand copies numbered and signed by the author, of which this is number one hundred and ninety-five. With a frontispiece. An essay on the life and works of Sir William Blackstone, an English jurist, justice and Tory politician most noted for his "Commentaries on the Laws of England". A Tribute to A. Edward Newton, 1940. First edition, limited to one thousand copies. With a frontispiece. Every Christmas for thirty-three years, Newton sent aa small Christmas book to his friends as a symbol of the fellowship of a book-loving man. After his death, the Library of Congress produced this work as a token of gratitude to this important man. Now, Even As Then and Bibliography are bound in the original quarter cloth binding, with Newton on Blackstone bound in the original full cloth, and A. Edward Newton in the original paper wraps. Externally, very smart with light wear to the extremities and minor fading to the spines. The odd small mark to the boards. Both Bibliography and Newton on Blackstone are bound with the original unclipped dust wrappers. Wrappers are also very smart with minor wear and sunning to the extremities. The odd small closed tear to the panel edges. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd small spot or handling mark. Contemporary ink inscriptions to the front endpapers. Very Good Indeed.
