Twenty copies were sent to Service, by Briggs, on the 26th of February 1907 and 30 copies were released for review purposes. The book was published and copyrighted on June 4th, 1907.

The Silver Nutmeg The Story of Anna Lavinia and Toby
Brown, Palmer
- Publisher: Harper & Brothers
New York: Harper & Brothers. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1956. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. B&W Illustrations; This book is in Very Good+ condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. This is one of only four books written and published by Palmer Brown. All four are scarce in any edition, and especially scarce in First Edition. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. There is some very beginning toning to the edges of the book covers. The front endpaper has been neatly excised by the previous owner - with a barely visible stub. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket has several small edge nicks and tears along with several small to smallish edge chips missing. The dust jacket includes the correct points for a first edition according to Baumgarten (Green cloth binding, Harper & Brothers imprint, dated 1956, with a dust jacket that includes a $2.50 price on the front flap). There is some beginning toning / foxing to the dust jacket, mostly to the front flap. "When her father decided that Anna Lavinia's horizon needed broadening, he hit on the simple plan of tearing down part of the garden wall to give her a new point of view. Squarely in the middle of her new viewpoint rose De Pond Hill, and on a lavender blue day Anna Lavinia set out to explore it. What lay on the other side at once involved her in as many mysteries as a nest of boxes, and together with a new friend, toby, she began to unravel them all in a wonderful upside down world." This book continues the adventures of Anna Lavinia, and her menagerie of animals, first met in Beyond the Pawpaw Tree. "Palmer Brown (1920–2012) was born in Chicago and attended Swarthmore and the University of Pennsylvania. He was the author and illustrator of five books for children: Something for Christmas, Beyond the Pawpaw Trees and its sequel The Silver Nutmeg, Cheerful, and Hickory—all published by The New York Review Children’s Collection." .

Seventeenth Summer - Maureen Daly - FIRST EDITION SIGNED - VERY RARE!!!!
Seventeenth Summer - Maureen Daly - FIRST EDITION SIGNED - VERY RARE!!!!
Maureen Daly
- Publisher: Dodd, Mead and Company
- Format: Hardcover
This is as rare as rare gets and it is a well preserved piece of Literary history. This was written in 1942 by the wonderful writer Maureen Daly and while written for the adult audience, it became the very first Young Adult fiction book ever. It is a perennial favorite of young adults and has been through more than 45 printings over the 73 years since Ms. Daly wrote this while still in college. I discovered this fine specimen wrapped in brown paper (like we used to do, see last pic) and that really protected the boards (check out all photos). The pages are in very nice shape and show very little foxing. There is a paper that a youngster wrote about the US Flag in the back (see photo) and that has foxed and left some foxing on the end page where it was stored. The historical value, literally speaking, is enhanced not only by the first edition status (publisher's page reflects 1942 copyright as does title page and no mention of previous printings) but also by the fact that this is signed by Maureen Daly on the first end page with a "Best Wishes" inscription (see photo). Overall, the book is VERY GOOD + shape, very nice color retention for the boards, no marks or writing save for Ms. Daly's signature. This is an extremely rare book that holds a very unique place in book history. Here are some comments about the book and Ms. Daly from the New York Times in 2006 in her obituary; "Maureen Daly, a writer whose first novel, ?Seventeenth Summer,? anticipated the young-adult genre by decades when it appeared in 1942 and has endured as a classic coming-of-age story, died on Monday in Palm Desert, Calif. She was 85 and made her home in Palm Desert. Written when Ms. Daly was a teenager and published while she was still in college, ?Seventeenth Summer? told the story of Angie and Jack, two teenagers who fall in love during one enchanted summer in a Wisconsin lakeside town. Written in a straightforward, unpretentious style, the book is full of innocent pastimes ? boating on the lake, Cokes at the corner drugstore ? mingled with more grown-up pleasures like beer and cigarettes. Reviewing the novel in The New York Times Book Review, Edith H. Walton wrote: ?By a kind of miracle, and perhaps because she is so close to an experience not easy to recapture, Miss Daly has made an utterly enchanting book out of this very fragile little story ? one which rings true and sweet and fresh and sound.? Published originally by Dodd, Mead & Company and most recently in 2002 by Simon & Schuster, ?Seventeenth Summer? has sold more than a million copies worldwide, according to the reference book Authors and Artists for Young Adults. Though fiction about adolescents was nothing new in the 1940?s ? among its eminent practitioners had been Mark Twain, Booth Tarkington and Louisa May Alcott ? the concept of novels specifically earmarked for adolescents would not exist until the late 1960?s, ushered in by writers like Paul Zindel and S. E. Hinton. Yet a quarter-century earlier, ?Seventeenth Summer? anticipated many of these authors? concerns, as Teri Lesesne, a professor of library science at Sam Houston State University and a specialist in young-adult literature, explained in a telephone interview yesterday. ?For ?42, this is a pretty avant-garde young woman: she smokes, she drinks, she dates,? Ms. Lesesne said. ?She thinks about more than a chaste kiss at the end of a date.? Maureen Patricia Daly was born on March 15, 1921, in Castlecaulfield, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. She came to the United States with her family as a young child. When Ms. Daly was 15, her short story ?Fifteen? was published in Scholastic magazine. The next year she wrote another story, fittingly titled ?Sixteen,? that was included in the O. Henry collection of 1938, which gathered together the best short stories of the previous year. Then, working in the basement of her parents? home in Fond du Lac, Wis., she began ?Seventeenth Summer.?This offers a rare opportunity for the collector.

Manuel I, King of Portugal
- Publisher: Matthias Hüpfüff
[Strassburg: Matthias Hüpfüff, 1513. [7] leaves, including woodcut titlepage illustration (3 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches), plus final integral blank leaf. Quarto. Dbd., leather tab on foredge of first leaf. Slight soiling and dampstaining in margins. A very good copy. In a half morocco and cloth box. An extremely rare German translation of a newsletter first issued in Latin and published in Rome in 1513, reporting the Portuguese conquest of Malacca in 1511 and describing its rich potential as a commercial center. No copies of this seven-leaf edition are recorded in OCLC or RLIN, and only a single copy of another 1513 German translation, printed in Augsburg and consisting of five leaves, is located in the U.S., at the James Ford Bell Library. However, the British Library holds copies of both translations, and the imprint information for this edition is based on Robert Proctor's research on German books in the British Museum. The letter from Manuel I to Pope Leo X relates the conquest of Malacca by Portuguese military commander Afonso de Albuquerque in June 1511. In addition to providing details of this victorious battle, the report includes descriptions of the wealth to be found in the region and the importance of the city as a trading nexus. In particular, the text emphasizes how courteously the merchants were treated in order to ensure future commerce. Albuquerque's voyages and military exploits between 1503 and 1515 were instrumental in consolidating Portugal's expansion to India and Malaya. The present pamphlet also records his actions after he departed from Malaya and returned to Goa in 1512. These include descriptions of skirmishes with the Moors and embassies to other parts of India and Asia related to the payment of tribute to the Portuguese crown. As in the descriptions of Malacca, the potential wealth to be found in the region is emphasized. While the text of the pamphlet is entirely about the East Indies, the titlepage contains one of the earliest illustrations of an American Indian. The woodcut on the titlepage shows a native man and native woman on either side of an armorial shield immediately below a royal crown. The naked woman, with a flowering plant in her left hand, holds the bottom of the crown with her other hand as the man steadies the shield with his left hand and grasps a bow with his right hand. The man, with full beard, wears a feather crown, skirt, and leg decorations. This woodcut is exactly the same as that illustrating the titlepage of an earlier German newsletter reporting Portuguese activities in the East, Manuel I's GESCHICHTE KURTZLICH DURCH DIE VON PORTUGALIEN IN INDIA, MORENLAND, UND ANDERN ERDTRICH, published in Nuremburg circa 1507. This portrayal of the man, in turn, appears to be derived from images of South American Indians found in an illustrated Vespucci broadside printed in Nuremberg circa 1505-1506 (see EUROPEAN AMERICANA 505/11, and illustrated on the cover of the Wolfenbüttel exhibition catalogue) and broadsides based on Vespucci's third voyage printed in Augsburg circa 1505-1506 (EUROPEAN AMERICANA 505/13 and 505/14). The publisher of the present work also issued an illustrated edition of Vespucci in 1505, although not this one (see Church 22 for a reproduction). Of course, at this early time Europeans might well have supposed that the East Indians of Malacca and the natives Vespucci encountered in the New World were the same people. All of these broadsides and pamphlets, including the present work, were published within seven or eight years in three different centers of German printing. A remarkably rare early German newsletter reporting on Portuguese military and commercial activities in Malacca and India. No copies on OCLC, or VD16; a single copy located at the British Library.

BESLER, Basilius (1561-1629).
- Publisher: Nuremberg: 1613
Broadsheets, bound (21 x 17 inches). Engraved title-page by Wolfgang Kilian, engraved portrait of Besler, 4 engraved sectional titles of the seasons, 364 engraved plates of flowers and plants (only, of 366) on 365 leaves (only, of 367; the first figure in Summer 3 comprises two plates joined to form one folding plate "Martagon Imperiale") (Lacking privilege leaves, Spring B 4 "Coronae Imperialis" and Summer 2D 14 "Caryophyllus Multiplex"; the early leaves of volume one with some discoloration, dampstaining, some tears repaired on the verso of one or two images, some plates trimmed; first sectional title to volume two torn and strengthened on the verso). 18th-century mottled half-calf (extremities scuffed). Provenance: Bookplates of a 19th- century ecclesiastical library on each paste-down. "A monument to his passion for beautiful flowers of all sorts, commonplace wild flowers as well as the exotics" (Barker). First edition, one of about 300 copies printed, issue with text on the verso of the plates. One of the largest and most magnificent of the great flower books, depicting more than 1000 flowers from nearly 700 species. Commemorating the famous gardens of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstatt, Johann Conrad von Gemmingen (c. 1561-1612), and as such one of the earliest pictorial records of flowers from a single garden: "we do not know how much the bishop spent on the exotic new species acquired from the merchants of Amsterdam, Antwerp and Brussels. but "Hortus Eystettensis" remains, no doubt as the bishop planned, a monument to his passion for beautiful flowers of all sorts, commonplace wild flowers as well as the exotics obtained and cultivated with such care and difficulty. Von Gemmingen deserves the credit for acquiring and growing flowers simply as beautiful things, for creating a suitable setting for them and finally, FOR CAUSING TO BE PRINTED THE FIRST BOOK DEVOTED TO RECORDING THEIR BEAUTY" (Barker). A copy with a significant ownership history recently sold at Christie's Sale 12139, Valuable Books and Manuscripts, on July 13th, 2016 for GBP 1,930,500, though it was the issue without the descriptive text. Besler was a Nuremberg apothecary and collector of natural curiosities. Important influences were the botanical works of Joachim Camerarius the Younger, Charles de l"Ecluse, Caspar Bauhin, Castore Durante, Caspar Schwenckfeld, Jakob Theodor (Tabernaemontanus), and Matthias de l'Obel. The "Hortus" was complete in Autumn 1613 and at least 300 copies were issued. Most of the original "plate" drawings are still extant (having been preserved by Christoph Jakob Trew), and are now in the University Library, Erlangen. They are possibly by Wolfgang Kilian of Augsburg, the most important of the ten engravers involved, and are after drawings from nature by various artists. Other engravers included Georg Gartner, Johann Leypolt, Levin van Hulsen and his son Friedrich, Peter Isselburg, Servatius Raeven and Heinrich Ulrich. The copper plates survived until 1817, when they were melted down by the Royal Mint in Munich.

The Yale Law School Mirror
The Yale Law School Mirror
Yale Law School; Stanley, W K, Editor
- Format: Hardcover
A Rival of the Yale Shingle Yale Law School. Stanley, W.K., Editor. The Yale Law School Mirror. New Haven: Yale University Law School, 1899. vii, 97, xxxvi pp. Includes thirty-six pages of advertisements, additional ads to endleaves. Photographs. Plates. Oblong octavo (8" x 7"). Original cloth, gilt title cartouche to front board. Some rubbing to extremities, owner bookplate (of Harry Crosby Camp) to front pastedown, internally clean. $200. * Published from 1898 to 1900, this yearbook competed against the more successful Yale Shingle. Unlike its rival, the Mirror appeared to be a quasi-official publication that concentrated on factual information about the school rather than colorful anecdotes about the students. It is thus a useful trove of information about Yale Law School at the turn of the twentieth century. Crosby, owner of our copy, was a member of class of 1900.
