A propos de cet article

First edition. A very early reader "prepared expressly for the purpose of satisfying a want which has long been felt of a suitable book for the middle classes." Begins with selections from the psalms, but includes a very varied range of material, including much on animals, both exotic -elephant, lion, tiger - and domestic (one selection is entitled 'Wickedness of Abusing a Horse'), stories ('Ichabod Crane' by Washington Irving), fables, poetry and much more. Contains an account of the Willey disaster caused by an avalanche in the White Mountains on Aug 28, 1826 which has been described as the first natural disaster in the United States to capture national attention. Interestingly enough, the account of the execution of Nathan Hale (whose last words - "I regret I have but one life to give for my country" - are now so well-known) laments the fact that not a single monument had been erected to him, and that his heroism remained unknown. 168 pp plus 4 pp of the publisher's catalogue (which notes that this title is "just published") Fair condition in cardboard boards covered with beige printed paper, quarter binding in tan leather (foxing throughout, age toning and tidemarks to the corners of the textblock, rubbing and wear to the covers, with the underlying cardboard exposed in the corners, and rubbing and wear to the spine.) However, despite the cosmetic flaws, the binding remains sturdy and the book is still quite readable - and in fact, easily entices one to dip into it. Very uncommon - no copies of the first edition appear to be on the market.…

Description de la boutique

Bookfever.com - the name used by Volk and Iiams, Booksellers- specializes in first editions of twentieth century literature, with an emphasis on women authors, African American, Native American and Latin American authors - plus mystery & detective fiction, science fiction & fantasy, poetry and children's & illustrated books. We try to offer many uncommon books, and have a large selection of first books, and books by authors who are less frequently collected. Of the approximately 60,000 volumes in stock, the majority are hardcover first editions, although we also stock vintage science fiction paperbacks as well as sf digests and pulps. We also have a large selection of books signed by the author and uncorrected proof copies. Only about 50% of our stock is catalogued, so please inquire if you are searching for specific titles. We have been selling books by mail order and on the internet since 1993. We have a large booth dedicated to books (called Books Upstairs) at the Antiques Upstairs Mall, 5 Main Street, Jackson, CA. (open every day from 10-5) The emphasis there is on Western Americana, children¿s books and inexpensive reading copies. In 1998 we relocated our main business from Sacramento to the Sierra foothills of Amador County, about 35 miles east of downtown Sacramento and between Ione & Sutter Creek. There, on 10 acres of rolling oak-covered hills, we built a "bookhouse" for our books. Call us at 209-274-6960 or contact us by email heyyou@bookfever.com) Our web page is https://bookfever.com/ Traditional bookseller grading used - fine is our highest grade (an "A"), very good is above average (a "B), good is average (a "C"). All significant flaws are described; dust jackets are protected by archival covers, and books are packed carefully for shipping. We welcome questions by email or phone.…
