~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Offered is a thoughtfully assembled collection of ten antique and vintage books selected for their beauty, illustration, historical interest, and collectibility.
Unlike a typical mixed book lot, this library was assembled one volume at a time, with emphasis on books that are individually desirable while also working together as a cohesive collection. At least seven are first editions.
Among the highlights are:
• National Velvet (1935 First Edition)
• Burton Holmes' Japan, illustrated with well over one hundred photographs documenting early twentieth-century Japan.
• Songs and Music of Froebel's Mother Play by Susan Blow (1895), a Fine copy, profusely illustrated throughout.
• The Story of Greece (1915 First Edition), illustrated with color plates.
The Goldfish Under the Ice (1932 First Edition), illustrated by Kurt Wiese.
The remaining volumes were selected for their decorative bindings, literary interest, illustration, and display value, creating a library that is visually attractive while offering a broad range of subjects.
Whether purchased intact as an instant collection or appreciated volume by volume, the books complement one another in a way that ordinary mixed lots rarely do.
Condition: Complete collection. Individual books range approximately from Very Good to Fine. Please examine all photographs carefully for the condition of each volume.
