According to Otto Penzler "these volumes illustrate how great a collection can be." In his address to the 1995 annual meeting of the Bibliographical Society of America Stephen Weissman of Ximenes Rare Books paid tribute to this work. He said XIX CENTURY FICTION "remains to this day perhaps my favorite single contribution to bibliography. I am not alone in my admiration. If a new collector comes into my shop as happens from time to time or if a young bookseller asks me for guidance as happens all too often these days this is inevitably the first book I recommend. Sadleir's book has had as much influence on collecting whether sentimental or scholarly as any other I can think of." Among the authors comprehensively covered are W. H. Ainsworth R. D. Blackmore the Brontes Bulwer Lytton Wilkie Collins Charles Dickens Benjamin Disraeli George Eliot Elizabeth Gaskell George Gissing Thomas Hardy Henry James Richard Jefferies Charles Kingsley Henry Kingsley Joseph Le Fanu Charles Lever Frederick Marryat George Meredith Ouida Charles Reade Somerville & Ross William Thackeray Anthony Trollope Mrs. Frances Trollope Mrs. Henry Wood etc. Works by many other authors such as Poe Stowe Twain Melville and Hawthorne are also described.

Illustrated with 16 pages of full-color photographs. Bound in the original blue boards with a red spine lettered in shiny gold. LAID-IN IS A POSTCARD that promotes the 2002 Michelle Akers Classic. It has a full color photo of her and is also imprinted with her street address in Oviedo Florida and her website. From the Dust Jacket: "One look into her eyes and you know she means business; get the ball anywhere near her and you'll find out for sure. This is not your run-of-the-mill world-class athlete -- this is Michelle Akers a champion whose incredible drive and skills are legendary in women's soccer. This is the woman USA TODAY called the 'heart and soul' of the history-making 1999 U.S. Women's World Cup Soccer Championship Team. THE GAME AND THE GLORY takes you inside the life of one of the greatest female athletes of our time and shows you what makes a true champion. It's more than ability -- it's an inner fire that blazes its hottest when the winds of adversity blow their strongest. But for all her tremendous grit and ability there is one opponent even Michelle Akers can't shake. It's called Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome CFIDS and it affects every area of her life draining the energy needed just to function let alone play sports. Akers may be the only person with CFIDS who has ever continued to compete on a world level. From her childhood infatuation with soccer to high school days in Seattle playing with the U-19 Flyers to training at the University of Central Florida to the rigors of the U.S. Women's National Team Akers retraces her guts-and-glory road to the Rose Bowl and the 1999 World Cup victory. You'll learn about the indomitable drive to win that has made her one of the top scorers and most feared opponents in women's soccer. And you'll witness the unflagging endurance that has propelled her past multiple injuries and the ravages of CFIDS to sustain a fifteen-year career with the national team. You'll also read about Michelle's life off the playing field: her relationship with family coaches friends and teammates her personal struggles and her faith in Jesus Christ that has kept her fighting -- and winning -- against unimaginable odds. Former U.S. Soccer coach Tony DiCicco has called Michelle Akers 'the best woman that's ever played the game period.' THE GAME AND THE GLORY will show you why. Here in her own straightforward words is the true-life story of an amazing athlete -- and a remarkable woman.". Signed by Michelle Akers #10. First Printing of the First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. 240pp. Zondervan Publishing House Hardcover‎
