Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Eight years before publishing "Rudyard Kipling: The Books I Leave Behind" -- a full decade before his "Rudyard Kipling: A Bibliography" -- David Alan Richards delivered to the Kipling Society Annual Luncheon, May, 1999, a talk on "Collecting Kipling." "Bibliographies are customarily no indicators of rarity," Richards pointed out. "You will not learn from Livingston that 'The Seven Nights of Creation' (1886, Livingston 9, Stewart 2) exists in only three copies (Stewart said two, and one was his!). Other examples of breathtaking rarity abound. Kipling also suppressed The Smith Administration (1891, Livingston 73, Stewart 92), with only 6 known copies surviving out of the original 3,000. . . (The copy bought at the Charles Plumptre Johnson auction in New York in 1927, purchased by legendary bookseller Dr. Abraham Rosenbach for General Electric chief executive Owen D. Young and now in the Berg Collection in the New York Public Library, sold for $14,000, the highest price ever paid for the work of a living author, equivalent to about $125,000 today.) But are we downhearted, knowing that these books -- and I could expand the list of 'Kipling impossibles' by literally another two dozen titles -- are almost certainly never to be obtained?" Richards asks. "No! Why? The fascination with chance, the hope -- even the belief -- that in some attic, or scrapbook, or box of discarded volumes, an old Kipling rarity will surface -- or even a new one, unknown to all prior collectors and bibliographers. And I have hard evidence for that belief. Let me describe to you what I have been fortunate enough to find in the five years I have been collecting." Mr. Richards mentions a copy of Lippincott's Magazine for January 1891, containing the first appearance of "The Light That Failed," published December 1890, "which is the deemed to be the earliest printing of all; I know of no other example in any Kipling collection." And then there are "the complete surprises, the Kipling first editions which have been discovered, that no one knew existed. In the words of St. Luke, 'Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost," including "a paperback booklet produced in Boston by the children's magazine publisher Perry Mason Company entitled 'Bravest Deeds,' a compilation of items previously appearing in its monthly numbers, which is the first book edition of the story 'Winning The Victoria Cross,' uncollected by Kipling until 1923; this title may indeed be found in Livingston and Stewart, in a hardback under the date 1902, but my wrappered copy is dated 1901, and appears to be the only remaining copy." Well, not quite. Here's another -- presumably the second reported -- in gray wraps printed in red & black, firmly bound with four staples showing some rust, small damage and stain to rear wrap, also a small tidemark to bottom of title page only, dated 1901 to the title page with no later dates showing. It's 64 pp. with Kipling's "Winning the Victoria Cross" occupying pp.43-52, featuring several period illustrations and including his somewhat droll account of the incident of the regimental chaplain who was honored with the medal for rescuing two British cavalrymen "all mixed up with their horses in a watercourse" from "a knot of Afghans who were hurrying to attend to them." "I do not think he quite cared for the publicity," Kipling observes. Though the chaplain's citation did not mention HOW he discouraged the pursuers, "Afghans do not leave wounded men without the strongest sort of hint," Kipling notes, leading him to conclude the unofficial account (that the chaplain -- though officially a noncombatant -- somehow brought a revolver into play) "seems very possible." 64 pp. Reduced from $2,000.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. BOY S BOOK OF THE ARMY TALES OF THE INDIAN WARS 1907 HARPER & BROS. DJ. I quote from the flap of the dust jacket. Here is a book to warm the cackles of a boy s hear and to send him galloping down that highway best known to lovers of adventure the long and thrilling road traveled by soldiers in the American ArmyA book of sure-fire thrills and of a sturdy, intelligent patriotism. Please find on offer here: Boy s Book of the Army. According to the title page, the tales contained in the book are by: Gen. Charles King, John Harberton, Captain Charles A. Curtis, Lieut. Charles D. Rhodes and Others. Please see the photo of the Table of Contents for your further information. The title page says the book is illustrated and indeed, there are four illustrations listed, all of which are present and accounted for (I checked). This small-sized hard cover book (5 ¼ x 7 ½ inches, 244 pages) was published by Harper & Bros. of New York, dated 1907. There is no mention of edition. The book is bound in blue cloth with orange and black decorations and titles on cover and spine. It is protected by a pictorial dust jacket, now a bit battered but still doing its function. This book is quite rare; I was unable to find any extant copies of an original edition of this book. The only offerings online were for print-on-demand versions and I have priced it at the same price as one of those, with the conviction that the collector would rather have an original. Condition: This book is in very good condition. As mentioned, however, the dust jacket has borne the burden of wear, with lots of edge wear including small tear and large chips (please see the photos). The hard covers are much better although they too show some edge wear and some minor bumping. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
