1916Best.-Nr. 64676N.p. ca. 1916. Inscribed twice by Clemens 1874-1962 the sole surviving child of Samuel Clemens. On the photograph itself she has written: "To Miss Howland with the cordial wishes of Clara Clemens." The recipient is further identified by the inscription on the verso from Alma Gluck the Romanian-born American soprano accompanied by a clipped portrait photo from a magazine to "Enid Howland." Additionally Clemens has inscribed the mount: "Most cordially Yours Clara Clemens Sept. 16th 1916." Clara was after her father's death the controversial custodian of his estate and literary rights. She published her biography of him in 1931 along with books on other subjects and worked at a career in singing with which this artifact is likely connected.

Best.-Nr. MMAN030New York: Doubleday and Company 1985 First limited edition. One of 536 numbered copies signed by Mantle on the limitation page. This is number 151 commemorating Mantles one hundred and fifty-first home run.

Overall a stunning copy of this one-of-a-kind limited edition. Mickey Mantle played his entire eighteen-year career with the New York Yankees alongside other legendary players like Yogi Berra Joe DiMaggio and Whitey Ford. Plagued by injuries throughout much of his career Mantle nevertheless became an all-time great winning three MVP awards 1956 1957 1962 and the Triple Crown in 1956. He also helped power the Yankees to seven World Series titles. Mantle was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1974 and was selected for the prestigious All-Century Team in 1999. Of The Mick: The book abounds with those memories of when Mantle was the toast of the town. More than that though it movingly recounts the private events of his remarkably public life; from his humble beginnings to his personal triumphs in and out of baseball to the tragedy that haunts four generations of his family. Mickey Mantle hit his 151st home run against the Cleveland Indians in the bottom of the 4th inning on July 14th 1956. The Yankees won the game 5-4 and the team went on to win the World Series that year. It marked the 30th home run for Mantle that season; he would finish the season with 52 and it would prove to be the greatest season of his career. Signed. First Limited Edition. Hard Cover. Fine.

1840Best.-Nr. 008068Strasbourg: Emile Simon Fils 1840. First Edition. Quarter Morocco. Marbled paper pastedown on boards. Very Good. Colorful 1840 three day celebration of the unveiling of a statue to Johann Gutenberg which occurred on June 24 through the 26th 1840. This stunning color plate book is almost entirely devoted to the endless parade organized for the event that proceeded during the second day or the 25th -- based on the dates given in the plate captioning. In this parade each of many professions had its own contingent and dressed and carried a sometimes impressive prop reflecting on the profession. From the vast number of paraders it would seem that virtually everyone in Strasbourg was an active participant. Oblong folio 32 by 53 cm. 48 hand-colored plates with five of the plates with fold-outs and thus extra long. Fold-out plates are counted as two plates in the enumeration which thus goes up to the number 53. In complete form this book is scarce. Outside of France and Germany the only hard copy showing on OCLC First Search is at the Morgan. It isn't clear to us whether the copies in Europe are commensurate but at most there may be half a dozen copies. No copies found in commerce on the date of this listing. Contemporary morocco spine moderately rubbed and scratches on the paper pastedown. Leaves age toned with deeper age toning affecting the fold-out plates. Occasional foxing with perhaps two plates with a considerable amount. A very short closed tear or two. Some shake to the binding as typical in such an extreme oblong book.
