1976réf. 82278New York:: Pantheon 1976. First edition -. Very good in illustrated wrappers remainder mark minor wear to covers. First printing a trade paperback issued simultaneously with hardcover. When the beach at Bolinas referred to as Briones in this book was hit by a huge and damaging oil spill followed by a plan from the local Public Utilities District to create a massive and expensive sewer system the residents of the town rallied and took control. Bolinasjust north of San Franciso in Marin County is still known for its quirkiness and its reclusiveness - and also for being incredibly expensive. "Bolinas has so far staved off homogenization through town meetings and a nucleus of concerned citizenry. Schell's chatty generally good humored diary of one year in a four year fight to limit growth on this incomparable little peninsula is as direct as a letter home." Edward Hoagland NY Times. Illustrated with photographs by Ilka Hartmann both Schell and Hartmann lived in Bolinas so they knew the town and its people well Slightly oversized oblong format. 200 pp. Pantheon, unknown

1820réf. ST15905London: J. Johnston 1820. FIRST EDITION IN BOOK FORM. 233 x 143 mm. 9 1/8 x 5 7/8". iv 2 319 pp. Attractive contemporary purple straight-grain morocco covers with gilt frame in the Romantic style raised bands spine compartments framed in gilt with drawer-handle cornerpieces gilt titling gilt-ruled turn-ins with drawer-handle ornaments at corners green watered silk endleaves all edges gilt. With engraved title page featuring hand-colored vignette and 19 HAND-COLORED ENGRAVED PLATES. Front flyleaf with bookplate of Harald Pedersen and verso of front free endpaper with bibliographical notes in pencil. Abbey "Life" 265; Tooley 434. ◆Spine sunned to maroon bottom corners a bit rubbed frontispiece cropped close at foot with much of the imprint trimmed away otherwise quite a fine copy--the plates in excellent impressions and pleasantly colored without the typical offsetting from these kinds of illustrations and the binding lustrous and with scarcely any wear. With charming illustrations by one or more of the 19th century's leading caricaturists this work is an imitation of the popular "Tour" books of Doctor Syntax featuring a pedantic clergyman and schoolmaster meeting with an onslaught of amusing misfortunes in the course of his wanderings. The original "Tour" published in 1812 was conceived of as a parody of the books of picturesque travels then enjoying a considerable vogue and when it met with a great popular response itself two more tours followed in 1820 and 1821. Even this could not sate the public and a number of imitations of the Syntax books including the present work were issued. There is some disagreement as to whether Thomas Rowlandson 1756-1827 or Isaac Robert Cruikshank 1789-1856 created the illustrations here; as Tooley notes "Both Rowlandson and I. R. Cruikshank are credited with the designs for the plates the balance of opinion favoring Cruikshank but according to the advertisement . . . more than one artist was employed or at least a different engraver to the artist." Either way the amusing illustrations of the follies and faux-pas of the good Doctor Syntax do not disappoint. Aside from being in pleasing condition our copy also stands out for its particularly attractive contemporary binding. J. Johnston unknown books
