Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Boston: Oliver Ditson & Co., 1880. Second revised edition. Large, substantial hardcover volume in an attractive personalized period binding of blue cloth over beveled boards, with brown leather spine and corners, gilt rules, elaborate gilt spine decoration, all edges gilt, and the names “Mamie and Stella Southworth” stamped in gilt on the front board. Marbled endpapers. 1004 pages followed by a 45-page appendix extending the chronology of musical events through 1876. A wide-ranging 19th-century American reference work covering musical terminology, theory, history, composers, performers, vocal music, instruments, national schools, and related subjects. Printed in a densely set double-column format. The 1880 edition substantially updates Moore’s original 1854 work through its added appendix. A dated presentation inscription appears on a front blank: “Hopkinton Dec. 25th /85 — A Merry Christmas and a happy new year to my little friends Mamie and Stella,” signed “J. W. Schmidt” or a similarly spelled name. A small penciled number appears at the upper corner of the title page. Binding is worn but still visually appealing. Leather is rubbed, scraped, and chipped, with heavier wear and some loss at the corners, board edges, spine ends, and joints. Cloth shows rubbing and scattered marks. Gilt spine decoration and lettering remain readily visible. Front and rear inner hinges show wear and partial cracking, with the binding somewhat shaken in places; the text block nevertheless remains together. Marbled endpapers are present. All-edge gilding is dulled, scratched, and spotted. Interior pages show age toning, occasional foxing or small marks, and scattered handling wear, but are generally clean, legible, and complete as observed. No dust jacket. A handsome reading or reference copy with appealing personalized provenance and decorative period binding. Photographs form part of the description.…

Descrizione dello Store

Welcome to The Hidden History of Books, where every volume has a story waiting to be rediscovered. As a retired librarian with a background in scholarly research and book provenance, I specialize in rare books and first editions that span all genres — from the overlooked and obscure to the culturally iconic. My inventory is carefully sourced from estate sales and private collections, with a focus on books that carry the quiet weight of time, ownership, and intellectual legacy. I believe a book’s value lies not just in its content or rarity, but in the lives it has touched along the way — authors, owners, annotators, and collectors. That belief informs everything I do. You can count on: Conservative grading — no surprises, no exaggerations. I highlight flaws openly and describe condition with care. Detailed listings with a focus on historical and bibliographic context when available. Fast, safe shipping using USPS Media Mail and secure packaging to protect your purchase. Whether you’re a collector, a scholar, or a fellow lover of forgotten shelves, I invite you to browse the catalog and uncover the hidden histories that live between the covers.…
