A propos de cet article

“Reasons, do you ask, why we have written a book? For one: as pioneers in a new sphere of labor for our sex, we would make known to them our success, and open to them the new avenue to Industry and Independence…[We] saw people in their every-day clothes, and from our unpretending position, they showed themselves as they were…And third — and are not three reasons enough, for women, at least, who are not supposed to have any reasons? — we would replenish our purse, and turn our labor and thought to profit,” (pp. 5-6). Twelvemo. 288 pp. Publisher's blindstamped light brown (faded from darker hue) cloth with gilt spine. Sunning and some soiling to cloth. Bent edges. Moderate foxing throughout, especially early and concluding leaves. A good + copy. First edition. Book agents Sarah Mendell and Charlotte Hosmer traveled through New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, and Canada over the course of 1853. The present work chronicles their adventures, particularly their travels through Virginia and North Carolina (including Richmond, Petersburg, Norfolk, and Raleigh). The writers detail their opinions on their own professions and the attitudes of others toward woman book agents: for example, one Virginia woman expresses disappointment that the authors are not employed as teachers. The writers also describe their observations of slavery and Southern culture as they sell books to the wealthy families of the South.

Description de la boutique

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, history of science, history of computers, and art. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietors: Michael R. Thompson, Kathleen D. Thompson, Carol Sandberg…
