Abbey, Edward JONATHAN TROY
New York (1954) Dodd, Mead & Co. First Edition A stunning copy in a virtually untouched, unblemished dust wrapper. This is a difficult book to find in excellent condition because of the relatively cheap black boards and the dust wrapper that is prone to fading. The irascible, irritable Abbey went on to much greater fame as an environmentalist but his literary career began here with his alter ego of Jonathan Troy. As is well known he disavowed the novel in later years and it was never reprinted. In his mind it was a youthful indiscretion better left forgotten. This copy has no marks of any kind, is fresh, tight and unclipped.

Philadelphia, (1898). The John Winston Co, A captivating collection of information about a broad array of things Parisian, with a nice introduction by Hilaire Belloc. Well-illustrated and with folding map bound in at the back. While this is certainly a nice addition to the body of information available on Paris, one of the most compelling reasons to add it to your collection is the lovely example of a publisher's binding. Green cloth with an elaborate gilt cover motif, top edge gilt. This copy is particularly extraordinary in that it retains its original green oil cloth dust wrapper, with gilt titled spine. To find a book of this vintage in the dust wrapper is most unusual. The dust wrappers were, indeed, wrappers to protect the book from dust. There is no advertisement...no cover art...nothing. Just heavy oil cloth with a title to protect a beautiful book. Housed in original dark green slipcase.

Burroughs, Edgar Rice THE CHESSMEN OF MARS
Chicago A. C. McClurg & Co. 1922, First Edition Bound in the original red cloth over boards this is a good copy only with some soiling and wear to spine and tips. This volume does have the rare, original, unrestored A. C. McClurg DUST WRAPPER. The wrapper is soiled with numerous chips and tears, mostly along the folds but is complete with no loss of text. The Chessmen of Mars was one of Burroughs most imaginative and complex works. Per Irwin Porges in his biography of ERB "weaving the theme of the game of chess--called "jetan" on Mars--into the story was truly an inspiration". Burrough's believed this was different than his previous works and fought hard for more money from several magazines but ended up selling the rights to his old standby, Munsey's for $3500.00.
