Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Hardcover. Purple cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Blindstamped decorations on the boards. This copy has a bit of scruff at the crown of the spine, a short tear to the cloth at the top 2 inches of the rear hinge, and some freckles on the boards. Overall good condition, but showing age. Blue endpaper. Binding tight. Text block clean throughout. Title page dated 1868. Copyright page dated 1865. 232 pages + catalogue for Carleton's other books, dated 1869 (including Victor Hugo and Charlotte Bronte). Illustrated by Waggoner, Gunn, and others. This copy has two items affixed to the inside front cover with archival mylar corners. Cabinet card photograph of Billings above. Below, a card with Billings' signature beneath handwritten "There is cheats in all things - even poison is adulterated." No date on the card or the photograph. Billings was the pen name of Henry Wheeler Shaw. He was a successful lecturer, humorist, and writer in the decade after the Civil War. Like Mark Twain, he created a folksy American persona and often wrote in dialect. It was a formula that Twain would use as well. The two men followed similar career paths (Billings was 17 years older) and even collaborated on a book of collected humor. This reprint of "The Sayings" was published just a few months before their careers diverged for good. Twain's Innocence Abroad was published in 1869 - it was his first full length book - and with it Twain achieved a level of success that Billings never reached. Billings died in 1885. The cabinet card photograph in this volume is blank on the back. The image shows Billings with long hair, pointed mustache and beard, looking to the right wearing a dark suit with velvet collar, collared vest buttoned all the way up, and white shirt beneath, only the collar of which is visible. As was his trademark, he is not wearing a tie. It looks to be same outfit as the 1876 series of photographs by Gurney, but this angle is not as commonly found. Books signed by Billings are quite scarce - as are books with signature set into them (while admittedly not quite the same thing). Although Billings was surpassed and eventually all but eclipsed by Twain (and Harte), he helped to blaze the trail as lecturer, entertainer, folk hero and self-made man, creating an American trope that survives to this day.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. [Twain, Mark] [Clemens, S. L.] Billings, Josh[Shaw, Henry Wheeler]. EVERYBODY'S FRIEND.Hartford: American Publishing Co., 1874. Firstedition. Original black cloth, gilt. Illustratedby Thomas Nast. Spine ends and corners frayed,else a very good copy. Includes the first bookprinting of Twain's letter to Billings making funof his spelling, at pages 573-75. Billings hadpublished this letter in his `Spice-Box' newspapercolumn in `The New York Weekly' in July, 1873.Early in his career Twain was influenced by thecomic writers known as the "Phunny Phellows"(Billings, Ward, etc.) but soon moved beyond theirtiresome bag of tricks that included phoneticspelling. BAL, Johnson, et al, overlooked thisTwain first book printing, although BAL doesrecord the book (BAL 17455) as a Shaw primaryedition.
