Brownlow, Maraget Herbs and the Fragrant Garden
New York McGraw Hill 1963 Second Edition Revised and Enlarged Hard Cover Very Good Very Good 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
What a lovely book this! The pastel art drawn by the author is beautiful and the feel of the heavy paper a bibliophile's delight. Book is very clean with no names or writing. Only fault to books iself is one small stain hidden beneath endflaps, front and back, caused by the tape used to fit together the original mylar cover. The tape was never on the book itself -- it just browned with age and transferred a small spot. We have replaced it with brand new. No price-clip. Herbs, plus aromatic and scented shrubs, are discussed. Book is both practical in terms of idntification, cultivation, harvesting and use, but also provides charm and interest with history and mythology. 223 pages.

Bruce, Brian Thomas Boyd: Lost Author of the "Lost Generation"
Akron, Ohio, U.S.A. Univ of Akron Press 2006 1931968330 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Crisp, clean, as new book. No bumps to corners, no names or writing, no tears or chips. Dustjacket protected by brand new mylar cover. Fascinating look at a virtually unknown author who was mentored and edited by the great Maxwell Perkins who did the same for Ernest Hemingway during the same time period. But unlike Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Sherwood Anderson, and the other famous Lost generation writers, Boyd carved out a writing career ar with no advantages. Only one of his books -- a WWI novel entitled Throught the Wheat -- received crtitical acclaim and only three sold more than 5000 copies. Yet Boyd's story is compelling precisely because ii stands in contrast to those of the "bad boy writers" of the period.

Burgess, Thornton Cubby Finds an Open Door
Racine, Wisconsin Whitman 1929 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Good Jordan, Nina R.
Book itself is very nice -- slight wear only and text block firmly adhered to boards whicb is often not the case with these delicate little books. We at one time had had them all and about half had detached. The jacket on this one shows small edge tears and wear, as well as two chips -- one affecting the red border at bottom back edge and the other at top back edge. Because the cover art matches the jacket it's hard to see them at first glance. Charming color art throughout. Measures a diminutive 4-1/2"xx5-1/2".

A dimunitive treasure measuring almost 6" across and 5" high. Other Cubby Bear titles available from series.

Burroughs, Laura Lee Flower Arranging; A Fascintating Hobby (3 Volume Set Coca-Cola Collectible)
Toronto, Canada Coca-Cola 1940 Soft Cover Good-plus
This three volume set is hard to find in its entirety with the third volume being the most difficult to track down, but here we have them all. They were published one each year in 1940, 1941 and 1942. The first two are entitled Flower Arranging -- A Fascinating Hobby, while volume three got a new title -- Homes and Flowers; Refreshing Arrangements. All are by Laura Lee Burroughs who is pictured in volume three holding a bottle of Coke. This is one of those "hidden" Coke collectibles that is such fun to find! The first volume is slightly smaller than the later ones. It measures 7-1/2" square, while the other two measure 7"x9". All three show light exterior wear, but are clean and tightly bound. There is light foxing at front few pages of the latter two, but it's quite mild. Volume I is unpaginated, the other two show 80 pages each. Photos are abundant and great if you want to copy the arrangements. There's also instructions, but the real value here is the fact that it's a Coke collectible which derived from Canada.

Butterfield, C.W. Magazine of Western History Illustrated December, 1886
Cleveland, Ohio The Magazine of Western History 1886 Soft Cover Very Good Wraps, Good 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
Scarce and collectible -- a magazine which, despite its title, refers not to the far American West, but to Ohio and surrounds. This issue is from Dec. 1886 -- Volume V, No. 2. Very nice, not commonly seen, magazine. Pages are clean as a whistle throughout. Only faults are a small piece of paper missing at both crown and tail of spine (no spine crease), one small tear to bottom rear edge, and short tears to cover at spine, front and back. The latter deficiency has been repaired with transparent archival tape and is now holding firmly. The premier article in this issue is clearly the 45 page piece covering the history and personalities of the University of Michigan. Illustrations include portraits of luminaries and smalll depictions of buildings. The article is entitled "The University of Michigan with Sketches of James Burill Angell, Corydon L. Ford, Henry Simmons Frieze, and George Edward Frothingham." The piece was written by C.W. Butterfield and A.B. Palmer, both of whom were historians of the day. Butterfield is perhaps best known for his "History of Simon Girty." Other articles include the history of boycotting, Alaska, and the refugee lands in Ohio.

Cadmus & Harmonia The Island of Sheep
New York Hoghton Mifflin 1920 First American Edition Hard Cover Good-plus No DJ
Very scarce small book due to the fact that its author, the Scottish novelist, John Buchan and his wife Susan, refused to have it reprinted. Book is small, measuring just 5"x7-1/2"with handsomely decorated boards. No DJ. Two lower corners are worn through the paper and upper two have been reglued and are holding. Minor overall soiling to yellow cloth spine, primarily at back. Back cover also shows light soil to paper over board. Pages are very clean with no foxing and no names or writing. Book was written in the guise of a charming house party story while actually being a vehicle to transport the Buchans' post-war political views. It is not to be confused with Buchan's last novel of the same name written in 1936 featuring his famous character secret agent Richard Hannay which was as issued in the U.S. with the title The Man From Norland.

First edition. Ex-lib., but a nice one. Fine in fine DJ covered with protective mylar. No stamps to book. Only one discreet sticker on back of book and one at spine. Mystery. Suspense. Fiction. A wild and woolly tale about dolls, DNA, polymer, steel and "quantum magical allure." Unforgettably different.
