Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: Good. This is "Wright''s Pictorial Family Almanac, 1889" . The Publisher, E. Ferrett, was the agent for the Wright Company, who manufactured Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills, which were a patent medicine - or Quack Medicine if you will - that promised to cure just about everything from the moon to the clou…ds in the sky. On the second leaf of the almanac is a handsome engraving of an Indian chief in full feathered war head dress. In the far distance behind him can be seen a side-paddle steam boat. There are ephemerides for each month of the year; these are accompanied by comic illustrations on the pages opposite., which depict mildly humorous situations and generally are quite accurate depictions of the styles of that time (1889) . One illustration features a crowd witnessing the famous tightrope walker Blondin as he balances far overhead. Blondin was an actual historic celebrity of the time, and an inclusion of a reference to him shows that the Wright company were fully aware of popular interests. Advertisements for various other patent medicines manufactured by Wright are scattered through the book. These include Roman Eye Balm, Dr. H. F. Peery's Vermifuge, or "Dead Shot" for Worms, AND DR. MCMUNN'S ELIXER OF OPIUM. The rear cover has a small paneled comic strip, "History of a stormy night and a glorious morning" , which is an ad for The Indian Vegetable Pills The almanacs were sold to druggists and dry goods stores around the country, who then distributed them gratis to their customers. Almanacs were a very common item and it was rare to find any household that did not have an almanac of some sort hanging around. There was certainly a lot to look at and read in these booklets. Now they are collectable curiosities. On the rear cover is printed the name of the druggist who gave away the almanac : Harrington & Rundle, Horseheads, NY. There is a faint over-stamp of another druggist - A. M. Corel, Horseheads - who likely took over the Harrington & Rundle business. Almanacs were almost always issued with holes through which string could be passed and looped so the almanac could be hung in a handy place. I deleted the string from our gallery picture (with the green background), but you can see it in another view we provide, in which we have left the string to view. SERIES : Yearly Almanac TITLE: Wright's Pictorial Family Almanac for 1889 IMPRINT : E. Ferritt (Agent for Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills) PLACE : 372 Pearl Street, New York DATE PRINTED : 1888 DETAILS : Pictorial paperback; contains the standard ephemerides (astrological sun, moon, and star charts); has several handsome engraved illustrations, as well as several advertisements for Wright products; 24 pages; approx. 5 1/4" x 8 1/8", pictorial wraps, stapled (two staples). On the front cover title and other lettering presented in a variety of fonts. Pictured to either side of the title are Minerva (with a helmet and spear), and Hygeia (holding a snake). Below them , at the foot of the cover is a picture of three Indians standing and sitting in front of a teepee. On the rear of the cover is an eight panel cartoon which is an ad for Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills. CONDITION -- GOOD ONLY -- This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following imperfections noted : EXTERIOR : Mouse nibble to the foot of the spine, creating a 2 inch split at the bottom of the spine (very neatly done o wee mousie!) The staples have rusted and stained the paper (really there is hardly anything left of the staples but for the small rust stains). Soft bumps to corner tips, with small crease to foot of spine. BINDING : Tender but holding - the whole still seems fairly solid. INTERIOR : Clean and free of marking. The small rust discolorations from the deceased staple follow throughout.

Red cloth with soiling and staining; elaborate decorative stamping (decidedly non-arctic) to spine and front board although with latter's gilt stamping still reasonably bright despite rubbing/flaking; small cloth loss at frayed spine heel. Pencil scribbling atop ink owners…hip inscription on front pastedown; child's pencil inscription (dated 1920) on front free endpaper; pencil scribbling obscuring an inscription on front flyleaf; ink name-address stamps on rear endpapers. Varied foxing, staining, and some soiling to leaves. Binding is still firm. Library of Congress catalog attributes authorship to Richard Mayde who also wrote other geographically-inspired titles. B/w illustrations - both full-paged and text inset - including frontispiece. Binding doesn't seem contemporary to book's 1876 copyright - seems more like mid-1880s-1890ish - with less than crisp printing to page numbers which is usually indicative of printing plates that have been a bit worn from repeated press passes, i.e. a later printing.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: Fair. "Our Picture Book" a children's paperback collection of brief nursery stories, songs and poems, was issued by the Sunshine Publishing Company in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The sewn booklet has color lithograph covers, and is illustrated throughout with engraved pictures. The book was intended to be…given gratis to customers by various businesses - who elected to purchase the rights of distribution, which purchase guaranteed advertisements for them , not only on the cover, but within the pages of the book. Thus we see that this copy was distributed by Jerome Kennedy and Co., one of the leading clothiers in Providence Rhode Island. A full page ad for Jerome Kennedy & Co. includes a handsome engraving of the company's business at 120 Westminster St. and Nos. 41 and 43 Dorrance St. in Providence. The building no longer stands, and the street numbers seem to have changed. The book also has advertisements for another business concern. On the inside of the rear cover is a full page ad for T. Kingsford & Son, manufacturers of Kingsford's Oswego Pure & Silver Gloss Starch for the Laundry. Also promoted in the same ad is Kingsford's Pulverized Corn Starch (for puddings, blanc mange, cakes, etc.). Kingsford was located in Oswego NY; the inside of the front cover also has an advertisement for Kingsford & Sons which consists of positive testimonials. We have provided images of some of the ads . and some of the material meant for children. TITLE : Our Picture Book AUTHOR : Not given IMPRINT : Sunshine Publishing Co. PLACE : Philadelphia, Pennsylvania DATE : No Date [ but circa 1885] STATUS : RARE . OP DETAILS : Slim paperback booklet with color lithograph cover. On the front cover a mother holds open a gigantic book of the same title, while her four children investigate. The children - three toddlers - are dressed for play and there is a toy horse on a wheeled platform. A Little boy has a newspaper hat with a bevy of ostrich feathers stuck in it. His sisters have a basket and a baby carriage. The mother hold the youngest, which is only a baby; but the baby is also interested in the giant book. It's a lovely image. On the rear cover two children are peeking from behind a blanket hung - as if for a children's theatrical presentation. A cat lies on the foot of the blanket. Again a very lovely image. Both images are color lithographs. The business name of Jerome Kennedy & Co. graces each picture. There are numerous line engraved pictures for children in the book; The single song in the book is a gospel song ("The Unfinished Prayer") that has music which was obviously written for an adult; the book has 18 unnumbered pages (pagination includes cover exteriors); approximately 8" x 9 3/4", sewn wraps. CONDITION . ROUGH - FRAGILE - FAIR. The entire book, which is complete, is quite fragile and hanging together, literally, by a thread. The cover is partially detached and some of the interior leaves are separated from the whole; there is an old tape mend extending up a tear from the bottom of the front cover (This shows through the paper as a discoloration or darkening. The front cover's attachment to the book is tenuous, being , for the most part separated for most of the spine fold's length. The edges of both the cover and the interior leaves are tattered - chipped and torn. There is no writing or crayon marks . No signatures. etc. However there are a few smudges, spots and or scuffs, etc.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. At the top of the title page above the title it says 'How To Raise Love Or Modern Studies In The Science Of Stroking.' This may be the Genuine First American edition. Or not. I'm going to leave it to the expertise of the potential buyers. If I'm right that it is, it may be the Only one f…or sale on the Internet-- and also under-priced. C'est la Vie. So, if you check the few other sellers of a '1923' Erotica Biblion Society edition they are saying that it was likely actually published circa 1930 or 1932. Their copies have burgundy or red covers. Mine does not. My book has 1923 on the Title Page. From my experience that means it was published in 1923 and there's no 'circa' whatever that can come into play. That's definitively the year it was published. Maybe I don't know something specific to this book, but I doubt it. If the date was only on the copyright page (there's no print on the verso of the title page of my book) that would be another story. One other thing: there are no plates/illustrations in my book, which I've read makes it all the more rare and---I believe--fits with it being the genuine first. No author is referenced in the book (I wouldn't want my name on this book if I'd authored it) but another seller has stated that it was authored by three men, Edmund Duponchel, Frederick Hankey and Alfred Begis. You can see the covers in the photos. The marble front and rear have scuffing with surface losses. The spine is in rather nice shape with just one tiny tear at the top edge and two at the bottom edge. The binding of the book has some issues. The covers are solidly bound. The front one has a thin space at its juncture with the first end paper. The space begins at the top edge and continues down 2/3rds of the way. The last 1/3rd does not have the space and the juncture at the rear cover and rear end paper does not have a space. There's another space going down 1/3rd between pages 18 and 19 and 26 and 27. Page 35-36 isn't bound over the top 1" or so at the top. There's a crack between 42 and 43. The gathering between pages 43 and 50 is separated at the top 1/3rd. Another crack between 58-59. The gathering between 67 and 74 is detached. A few of these pages have a thin tear off their outer edge. A gathering between pages 75-82 is also detached. Both detachments are very clean, no tears or wear.The binding on all of the pages after page 82 is much better, no cracks/spaces and no detachments. There are153 pages. Turning over the pages, every one, I found two other edge tears over the last 71 pages. There's not much by way of creasing. There are occasional spots of soiling, but the pages are, in the main, clean. There's no foxing. There are no markings. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The content is definitely not 'clean'. This book is Not for children. But the price should ensure that if it is purchased, it will be by an adult.
