A Cab at the Door - WORLD FIRST EDITION

1968ref. 002638Chatto & Windus London 1968 SIGNED AND RARE THUS. Rightly regarded as a classic this first part of a great writer's life has enormous freshness and an everlasting relevance to all aspiring writers. Lovely illustrated wraparound jacket by Mosley although it is a bit damaged; a half inch tear at the top left of the front panel some tiny chippings at the top of the spine; but considering this is a laminated 1968 jacket it really is not too bad and it is protected now. The price is not clipped and nothing 'live' is affected. The book itself has a slight lean and the spine of the binding is creased slightly at the top. All corners are firm and unbumped. There are no inscriptions no ownership names and no damage to the text block. Very Good sounds worse than it turns out to be because the impression of this book in the hand is clean and tight. The three photographs at the end of the book are true first printings with no wear to the plates which is one of the reasons a first printing is sought after. Signature on the title page. Utterly collectable. 0.0 0.0 0.0. Illus. by Charles Mosley cover. Signed by Author. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Chatto & Windus London hardcover

Shea, John Gilmary.MareMagnum

A CHILD'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. From the Earliest Records to the Present Time. Including the Late Civil War with its Battles and Battle-Fields. ORIGINAL PARTS ISSUE.

1872Issued (by subscription) in forty-six eighty (46) original parts, bound in 28 magazine-format issues. 4to. 200 x 285 mm. Numerous engravings, portraits, maps and plates. Though the spines on many of the paper wraps are gone, this set is generally in wonderful condition. 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. They also qualified for mailing at a cheaper rate. 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. This edition apparently not in Arents (1957). **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PARTS 3
