Burroughs, Edgar Rice.
Tarzan and the Foreign Legion.
Publisher: Tarzana CA: Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., 1947..
First edition, First printing Hardback octavo in blue cloth lettered in red. 317 pages illustrated with jacket art, frontis and four plates on glossy paper by John Coleman Burroughs . A lovely copy with a bright jacket. The book has the remains of an erasure on front endpaper. The book is also marred by a circled "22" in flair pen on spine. The red lettering on the jacket spine is notably faded with some shallow chipping at head and tail, but still very readable. There are also a couple edge tears of no significance with a bit of associated creasing and edge and extremity wear. Finally, the major flaw is a tear on the front panel with clear tape repair on verso with the tape leaving some discoloration on front. Curry, p. 96; Zeuschner, #578.

Deeping, Warwick
SORRELL AND SON
Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap, NY`, 1926.
Good with no dust jacket. First Edition. 1. Hard Cover Publisher's full olive cloth, gilt (green) lettering on spine and cover. 8vo. 400, (8) pp. Former owner's name and address on fep, gutters cracked, spine mildly sunned. GOOD. "Sorrell and Son, the thirty-third of Warwick Deeping's sixty-eight novels, became and remained a bestseller from its first publication in 1925 throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Translated into thirteen languages, running to forty-one editions and filmed twice, 1927 and 1933, the novel achieved what Ross McKibbin calls “a talismanic status” for its admirers. Dedicated to Deeping's own father, this “rapturous wish-fulfilling dream of perfect filial love”, as Kingsley Amis describes it, retains its pathos, as demonstrated by its successful adaptation for YTV in 1983. Sorrell and Son effectively engaged anxieties, widespread amongst the growing middle classes between the wars, about the direction of social change, particularly the shifting constructions of class and gender." - The Literary Dictionary. George Warwick Deeping (1877 - 1950) was a prolific English novelist and short story writer. His most famous novel is Sorrell and Son (1925). 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

Irving, Washington
Wolfert's Roost and Other Papers, Now First Collected
Publisher: G. P. Putnam & Co. New York 1855.
First Edition Very good in the publisher's original blind stamped, green cloth covered boards with faded gilt text stamping on the spine and a gilt stamped sketch on the front board and with light yellow end sheets. The back strip has a 1" long closed tear to the cloth in a horizontal direction which has been professionally repaired. There is considerable wear and rubbing to the cloth at the head and heel of the spine with the cloth worn through at the head of the spine. There is a early prior owner's book plate on the front paste down and the rear hinge is cracked and separated. The rear hinge has been professionally repaired. 383 pages of text followed by 12 pages of ads from the publisher. Illustrated with a double frontispiece. A collection of 32 short stories or articles all of which previously appeared in periodicals or books. (Langeld/Blackburn, p. 44; BAL 10188) While the publisher's ads at the rear of the text are dated "Feb'y ., 1855" this may be a third printing as the publisher's address reads "10 Park Place" while the first and second printings show an address of "12 Park Place". It was in the short story, "The Creole Village" that Irving again coined a new phrase for the American public. It was the first use of the term "the almighty dollar".

Rendell, Ruth.
From Doon with Death.
Publisher: New York: Doubleday, 1965..
First U.S. Edition Octavo, about 8.5 inches or 21.5 cm. tall, in gilt stamped red cloth. 189 pages. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON THE TITLE PAGE. The author's first book and the debut of Chief Inspector Wexford. Books in the attic with a mysterious inscription -- how does that play into the murder of the wife. Bookplate, apparently of a member of the club, Friends of American Writers, along with an early 1965 date, on the front endpaper. The book is otherwise clean, bright and sound inside. The covers have minor extremity wear. The jacket is complete but for a tiny chip at the foot of the spine; the edge wear and surface rubbing is modest generally but a bit more serious at the head of the spine. There is a one-inch tear at the bottom front spine fold. At the top rear panel, there is a complex two-sided tear with the material inside wrinkled like an accordion and short tears radiating from the bottom of that tear.
