2002rif. 001385Cornwall UK: GISS 'ON BOOKS 2002. This book has the added attraction of having a loosely laid in folded note which has been signed and inscribed by Simon Parker to the famous Poldark novelist Winston Graham. The note looks to be of the same paper used for the books pages so it has probably been signed by Simon Parker at the publishers. Both writers have strong connections with Cornwall. Book is in excellent condition and is possibly unread. Scarce having been signed. A lovely copy. Signed by Author. First Edition. Fine/Fine. FIRST EDITION. GISS 'ON BOOKS unknown

19498vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece, text browning at edges, neat inscription on dedication; decorative cloth blocked in silver, backstrip lettered in silver, one corner lightly bruised else a very good, tight copy in price-clipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly age-soiled and with minor loss at lower edge of front panel. The bibliography of this school tale is confused. The author is given variously as W.E. Eastways (dustwrapper and title) and W.W. Eastways (series catalogue on dustwrapper rear panel). BLPC gives the latter and records two editions, neither of which matches the present copy. Here the pagination matches the first edition of 1949, though the imprint is Children's Press (not Collins). A scarce survival in this condition.

1886rif. 007348Asnières-sur-Seine: Boussod Valadon & Cie 1886. First Edition Thus. Full Decorated Morocco. Near Fine. Gorgeously bound with exquisite illustrations most of which are lushly hand-colored -- they could pass as fully rendered watercolors done directly onto pages. Folio 39 by 30 cm. Unpaginated with text and illustrations on rectos only with leaves of heavy card bound in with tabs. 33 illustrations aquarelles of Beaumont are replicated in the two stories. Some illustrations remain in black and white but most were hand-colored and to a high level. Crimson morocco decorated with gilt borders featuring various floreate decorations and lattice work Rococo in sensibility yet symmetrical. Silk pastedown endpapers. Note that the colophon in the back states the book was created or finished off in December 1886 but the spine gives the publication date as 1887. Both dates are surely accurate. Condition: A few small spots of soil on the morocco. Light scattered soiling and/or foxing -- overall the book still reads as clean. Small stamp in corner of front blank -- back of FFEP -- from Easton Neston Library. As this discreet stamp is the only sign of a library provenance the book has none of the negative associations people would make of ex-lib and we have priced the copy accordingly.
