Phillips John C.
Two Autograph Letters Signed to collector Norman James of Baltimore Maryland March 30 and April 17 1925 discussing sporting books and prints The Natural History of the Ducks and Phillips' idea for a bibliography of American sporting books
Wenham Massachusetts 1925. 1-1/2 pp.; 1 p. pen and ink on Windyknob stationery. 8vo. Old folds. Fine. 1-1/2 pp.; 1 p. pen and ink on Windyknob stationery. 8vo. Phillips: "I'm Catalogue Mad". To the noted collector of sporting and color-plate books Norman James of 300 Goodwood Road Roland Park see catalogues of his library sold at Anderson Galleries November13-23 1928. From the first letter dated March 30: "You gave me a wonderful afternoon yesterday and I shall long remember your house and that view . I'm looking over my few prints about 38 and find the following which I don't remember seeing with you although most likely you have them stowed away among those we didn't have time for: 'Snipes' drawn by J. Herring . no date but looks very old; Wild Duck Shooting - A Good Day's Sport' N. Currier 1854 - a very fine one and I've never seen it except this one copy large Two figures by L. O. Earll Pub by A.C. Zink 1880. Man with new breach loader talking to old market hunter with muzzle loader & ducks on back. "Another thing I'd like to see would be a catalogue of the old American books on sport. Charles Sheldon and you also would have about all of these and I have a fair lot but mine are more along old Am. books on birds and mammals. Guess you think I'm catalogue mad & think I will be by the time I get out the bibliog. for the duck book. . Hope to get away for west end of Alaska Penin in early May." For the privately distributed sets of his monumental Natural History of the Ducks a finely illustrated work in four volumes Phillips issued a separately printed Bibliography in an edition of 75 copies. The second letter dated April 17 begins "I'm proud to think I have one or two American prints that you have not. The only worth while one is the large duck shooting picture ." Phillips also mentions The Natural History of the Ducks: "If you think of any duck 'cranks' who would be worth circularizing for my duck book I wish you'd let me know ." Phillips did indeed pursue his idea for a catalogue: his Bibliography of American Sporting Books drew upon the library of Charles Sheldon and was published in 1930. It remains an essential reference. unknown

Foote John Taintor
Autograph Manuscript of his Blister Jones story "Tres Joli" written in pencil with numerous corrections on one side of 41 5 1/2 x 9 " leaves; approximately 4000 words
1912. 1 vols. 8vo. This is written on good quality paper; a few leaves slightly browned at margins but overall a fine bright crisp manuscript with a front wrapper inscribed "Tres Joli by John Taintor Foote" in ink in the author's hand. 1 vols. 8vo. The Autograph Manuscript of John Taintor Foote Story. John Taintor Foote 1881-1950 was the foremost writer of sporting stories of his day. He achieved early fame with horse stories featuring the raffish track character Blister Jones and we offer one of these about a come-from-behind-to-win mare named Tres Joli in the original manuscript. Although there are numerous corrections and alterations this original draft is written in Foote's reasonably legible hand and can be read with enjoyment straight through. It is a delightful tale full of the drama and dialogue that typifies the author at his best. The manuscript is complete and is accompanied by a 5 x 8 sheet containing a corrected passage from an unidentified work that bears some resemblance to the story although it cannot be identified with any particular passage. "Tres Joli" was first published in the American Magazine in August 1912; it was reprinted in Foote's collection Blister Jones in 1913. A fine opportunity to own an early and most attractive Foote manuscript. unknown
