Ballantyne, RM R M
Blown to Bits or The Lonely Man of Rankata A Tale of the Malay Archipelago

Minor corner and edge wear and lightly cracked hinges. Gift note dated 1889. In the words of a reviewer for The Academy this is Ballantyne's best work. Much more than a novel for juveniles it provides an all-round understanding of the 1883 explosion of the Krakatoa volcano. There is romance and comic relief too as Nigel meets Winnie. It might best be described as one of those "shots heard around the world." 438 pp. James Nisbet & Co. hardcover

Issued by subscription. Twenty-three (of 25) original parts. [Lacks parts 1 & 25]. Folio. 310 x 415 mm. Forty pages in each part. Numerous photo illustrations. A very well preserved set. Books in parts are works which were published piecemeal (mainly in the 19th century) over a period of months or years. Each unit usually having a separate magazine-like cover. This method of publishing benefited the publisher as it was thought that the price of a weekly or monthly part at one shilling or a quarter was affordable to a wider readership than the price of pound sterling or $ 5.00 for a bound volume. Though this particular set was very costly at $ 1.00 for each part! Since they were meant to be bound by the purchaser, very few have survived into our present era. This set is extremely scarce in parts format. A wonderful artifact of the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago: 1893. This edition apparently not in Arents (1957). RARE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
