Dear Book Enthusiasts, 

Greetings once again, and thank you for your continued interest in our auctions. In these pages, we are proud to 

present our October 2014 Rare Books auction #6112. This catalog, while boasting some real gems and very desirable 

titles and editions, is also the introduction to several large collections of rare books that will be sold in upcoming 

weeks and months in our Weekly Internet Rare Book auctions, culminating each Thursday night with a live auction on 

HeritageLive. 

We are pleased and honored to offer The Krown & Spellman Collection over the next several Signature auctions 

and in the intervening weekly auctions. This is an excellent gathering of genuinely antiquarian books, and includes 

incunables and early printed books across a diverse range of subject areas. Represented in the collection are classics, 

science, travels and voyages, history, occult, illustrated books and reference books. 

Other large private collections we proudly offer are: 

The Library of John Carrol Collins, which will be sold in this and future signature auctions, as well as in our weekly 

Internet auctions over the next several months. Mr. Collins was an astute collector of rare books and art, and often 

served as an appraiser in these fields. His collection includes wonderful copies in Fine Press, History, Literature, Book 

Arts, and Cinema. He has large collections of Aviation and Music that will be offered in our New York auction in April 

of 2015. 

The Collection of I.D. “Nash” Flores, III, which makes up a significant portion of our literary offering in this auction. 

His collection of Cormac McCarthy is here, including the correspondence between McCarthy and John Fergus Ryan. 

A wonderful complete run of McSweeney’s Quarterly is here, with a number of signed copies. Additional lots from 

this collection will be available in the Internet auctions, and a substantial grouping of John Updike will be in the April 

auction in 2015. 

The William J. Whitaker, Jr. Collection of Charles Bukowski and Black Sparrow Press Books, which includes many 

signed or inscribed copies, and copies with original drawings by Bukowski. In addition to the lots in this catalog, 

there will be many more gems from this collection offered in the upcoming Thursday night auctions. 

The Library of Dr. Henry H. Fertig, M.D., represented here by The Laws of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania printed 

by Benjamin Franklin. Future auctions will include many more excellent books in Medicine and Anatomy, American 

History and Biography, Literature, and Western Art and Literature, with many signed or inscribed copies. 

We continue our offering of the vast John Updike collection so lovingly assembled by Alexander Jemal, Jr. There are 

many personally signed and inscribed copies, and many rarities that are not typically seen. 

We cordially invite you to participate in the auction, and we encourage you to contact us with any questions 

regarding additional condition reports or any other information you might need on any of the books listed herein. 

As usual, we are already hard at work on the next Rare Books auction, so feel free to contact us if you are thinking 

of consigning some or all of your book collection. Or if you just want to talk about your books with us, pick up the 

phone or send us an email. 

Be sure to visit your favorite books from this catalog on our award-winning website at www.HA.com/6112, where you 

will find additional and enlargeable images and, in many cases, supplementary descriptive information. We would 

love to see you at the live auction on October 8 in our Beverly Hills showroom. If you can’t make it in person, our 

online bidding platform Heritage Live! (www.HA.com/Live) is the next best thing to being in the room. 

Please join us and experience the fun! 

Best Regards, 

James Gannon 

Director, Rare Books

The Krown & Spellman Collection 

Heritage Auctions Rare Books Department is honored to present The Krown & Spellman 

Collection in three signature auctions, beginning with the present auction, and continuing in 

upcoming auctions in February and April of 2015. These will include such highlights as the 

never-before catalogued personal collections of Franklin’s demonology and witchcraft print 

collection; his comprehensive collection of Lord Dunsany books, letters, and related original 

art; and his collection of books by the first important woman printer, Charlotte Guillard. Other 

prints, manuscripts, and early books, heretofore uncatalogued, also will be included. Lots from 

the Krown & Spellman Collection will also be offered in our ongoing weekly Internet auctions, 

ending each Thursday evening at 8:00 pm in a live session. 

We want to give special thanks to Franklin, Elizabeth, and Ryan Parks, for their assistance in 

preparing these auctions and for their enthusiasm for the material, which is shared by the 

Heritage Rare Books department, and I am sure, by many of you. 

Letter from Elizabeth and Franklin: 

Krown & Spellman, Booksellers was opened in August 1977 by Franklin V. Spellman and 

Elizabeth Krown Spellman. The suggestion to open the bookshop was made by Elizabeth 

in the winter of 1977 for two reasons. One was that she was about to graduate from UCLA with 

nary a clue as to what to do next. But the primary reason was that with his C.Phil. in English 

Literature in hand, open positions in academia in Franklin’s field (medieval and Renaissance 

English literature) were scarce in those years and the prospect of teaching remedial English 

in some obscure part of the United States appealed to neither of them. The shop, which 

began primarily as a scholarly bookshop with some rare books, was opened with their personal 

collection and the books that Franklin could now purchase with impunity from that winter on. 

Three days prior to the grand opening of Krown & Spellman, Elizabeth found that she was 

pregnant with their son, bringing the first change in plans to Krown & Spellman. From that 

point on, Elizabeth maintains that her greatest contribution to Krown & Spellman was to be 

well-employed at UCLA, with an upwardly mobile career that brought a monthly paycheck and 

fabulous medical benefits for the entire family. This allowed Franklin to build the business and 

turn it from a scholarly to a rare bookshop. 

Franklin began his career in antiquarian books as an employee of Pageant Book Co. in New 

York City at the ripe old age of 13. He worked there on weekends, holidays and during summer 

vacation. Already a bibliophile, simultaneous with his employment in the book business, he 

began his collection of Lord Dunsany which he continued expanding until only recently. In fact, 

it will have its own auction at Heritage because of the significance of the collection.

Franklin attended the City University of New York where he received his BA in History and in 

English Literature and his MA in English Literature. In 1970, he and Elizabeth moved west 

where Franklin began a doctoral program in English Literature at UCLA. A born collector, 

Franklin continued to collect scholarly books and the occasional rare one and even opened a 

shop, for a very brief period, with a fellow graduate student, in order to sell books to other 

scholars as well as to reap the benefits of a resale license. But it wasn’t until 1977 and the 

inception of Krown & Spellman, Booksellers, that he was able to give full head to his collecting 

and buying instincts, and use his scholarly training to build the collection that is now being 

offered for sale. In August 1977, with a $1,500 bank loan and their personal book collection, 

Krown & Spellman, Booksellers opened on Westwood Boulevard in West Los Angeles. For a 

brief time, their location, along with several other antiquarian shops, was known as Booksellers 

Row. After a few years, the recession and a rent hike brought Krown & Spellman to a new 

location in an alley off Westwood Boulevard. From there, it made a major move to the Third 

Street Promenade in Santa Monica, following the example of several other book dealers, some 

of whom also were refugees from “Booksellers Row.” This was the perfect shop – 10 feet wide 

and 150 feet long, and it was successful too. At this time, Krown & Spellman became members 

of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA). Eventually, the popularity of 

the Third Street Promenade caused the landlord to force us out at which time we moved to 

Robertson Boulevard in Beverly Hills. In the five years we spent there, our internet activity 

increased but the brick and mortar aspects of our business decreased, as was becoming true for 

many booksellers with open shops. So we then moved to a house we owned in Culver City from 

which we issued catalogues, had internet business and the occasional visitor. At this location, 

we were joined by Ryan Parks, who has remained with us until now as the manager of the shop. 

During this time, Krown & Spellman continued to issue specialty catalogues focusing on early 

English printing, occultism and early science, the backbone of our business. 

Unfortunately, serious health issues resulting in Franklin’s 

decreasing ability to carry on the business in a direct 

way has made it necessary to disperse the stock as well 

as his personal book collections. Krown & Spellman, 

Booksellers lasted 37 years but Elizabeth and Franklin 

have now lasted 47 years. That may be rarer than even 

our most prized book and certainly is dearer.

Rare books 

An Exceedingly Rare Confederate Surgeon’s 

Manual, with Thirty Lithographed Plates - From 

the Collection of Henry E. Huntington 

“... a vade mecum for the Surgeons of the 

Confederate service” (Preface) 

45002 [Civil War]. [Confederate Imprint]. Edward Warren, M. D. 

An Epitome of Practical Surgery, for Field and Hospital. Richmond: 

West & Johnston, 1863. First edition of this rare Confederate surgeon’s 

field guide (so stated on the title-page as “Frist Edition”). Octavo. 401, 

[1, blank] pages. With binding error (this copy lacks pages 277 - 299, 

but instead has a duplicate group of pages, 301-344). Publisher’s [] 

cloth backed marbled boards, printed paper labels on spine. Spine and 

boards worn, one of the labels (not the title label) is nearly perished, 

text toned and moderately soiled, with ink markings on first few and 

last few leaves, ownership signature and notes of Dr. D. H. Albright 

(dated Feb. 1864) in pencil on front free endpaper, some pencil markings 

(mostly underlining) throughout. Still, a good copy. 

Crandall, 3044. Parrish and Willingham, 6145. 

Starting Bid: $1,250 

“... the highest achievement in colonial bookmaking” 

45001 [Civil War]. [Confederate Imprint]. A Manual of Military 

Surgery. Prepared for the use of the Confederate States Army. Illustrated. 

By Order of the Surgeon General. Richmond: Ayres & Wade, 1863. First 

edition of this very rare imprint. Small octavo. [2, blank], iv, [5] [sic]-297, 

[3, blank] pages. With thirty lithographed plates depicting surgical 

procedures in graphic detail inserted at rear. Complete. Original [] stiff 

marbled wraps, brown cloth backstrip. Mild wear to backstrip and wrappers, 

some toning, offsetting and mild occasional soiling in text, a few 

pages unopened. Still, a fine copy of this rare and fragile item. With the 

ownership signature in pencil of R. A. Brock, a Confederate hospital 

steward at a Richmond hospital. Also with the ownership stamp of 

legendary book and art collector, Henry E. Huntington on the rear 

inner cover (“H.E.H./DUPL.”). When Brock died, Huntington bought 

his collection. 

“The official manual of military surgery for the Confederacy, prepared by 

a group of officers at the order of Confederate Surgeon-General Samuel 

Preston Moore.” (Norman). 

Crandall, 1057. Parrish and Willingham, 1984. Norman, 1433. 


45003 [American Printing]. Encyclopaedia; or, a Dictionary of Arts, 

Sciences, and Miscellaneous Literature... Philadelphia: Thomas Dobson, 

1798. The First American Edition, and the first Encyclopedia printed 

in the United States. Eighteen quarto volumes. With 539 (out of 542) 

engraved plates inserted throughout, including engraved frontispiece. 

Contemporary full tree calf, spines ruled in gilt in compartments, burgundy 

gilt morocco lettering labels, brown gilt morocco numbering 

labels, marbled endleaves. Binding worn, a few hinges or joints tender 

(yet no boards are loose or detached), text foxed and somewhat dampstained, 

some offsetting to plates, pages 305 (volume IV) and 282 (volume 

XVII) and plate XCI have short tears, a few plates trimmed neatly at 

margins, some other plates with edgewear, some fold-out plates have 

tears, previous owner’s signature in one volume. Still, a very good set. 

Missing plates are CXLIX, CLXXXII, and CCCCXIX. This copy includes the 

four-page rebuttal to the attack on Quaker founder George Fox. 

The very rare first American encyclopedia, with text mainly after 

the third edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The plates include 

some of the earliest illustrations of their various subjects 

printed in America. As this title was originally issued in parts 

(somewhat irregularly), and the printing took place over several 

years (although each title page is dated 1798), it is almost unheardof 

to find complete copies.

First Edition of Anti-Slavery Testimonies, with the 

Only Work of Fiction by Frederick Douglass 

A Nearly Complete Collection of One of the 

Greatest Radical Magazines in America 

45004 [Frederick Douglass, contributor]. [Julia Griffiths, editor]. 

Autographs For Freedom. Boston: John P. Jewett and Company, 1853. 

First edition. Small octavo. viii, 263 pages. Three engraved plates, including 

frontispiece. Bound in publisher’s apparent variant (de luxe) binding 

of full red cloth, boards triple-ruled in gilt, with gilt cornerpieces and 

gilt central medallion, spine elaborately stamped in gilt and lettered in 

gilt. Yellow coated endpapers. Some mild edgewear to binding, front 

joint torn (yet still solid), mild soiling to binding, corners bumped, text 

somewhat foxed. Still, a near fine copy. 

The Heroic Slave (first published earlier the same year in his newspaper 

The North Star) appears on pages 174-239. Published the same year as 

William Wells Brown’s Clotelle, this is the first book printing. Douglass’s 

piece certainly can claim to share the title of “first substantial piece of 

fiction by an African-American.” Blockson, 9204. Not listed in Whiteman’s 

Century of Fiction by American Negroes. 

Douglass’s only attempt at fiction, The Heroic Slave was a dramatization 

of the events surrounding the actual rebellion led by Madison 

Washington on the slave ship Creole. On November 7, 1841, while en 

route from Virginia to New Orleans, the crew was overtaken by a contingent 

of the slaves being transported, who redirected the ship to the 

British free port of Nassau. Once there, the British authorities detained 

nineteen identified leaders of the rebellion. All remaining passengers, 

both crew and slave, were allowed to disembark freely. Five months 

later, the nineteen slaves, including Madison Washington, were set free 

due to lack of evidence. 

Starting Bid: $250 

Collection of Four Items Signed by Bob Dylan 

45006 [Max Eastman, Floyd Dell and Robert Minor, editors]. The 

Liberator. New York: Liberator Publishing, Co., Workers Party of America, 

1918-1924. First editions of this beautifully produced magazine. 

This collection begins with the first issue (March, 1918) and runs until 

August, 1924 (although it is unclear when The Liberator ceased publication 

and began publishing as The Worker’s Monthly, it did so at around 

this time, so the August, 1924 issue is quite possibly the last issue). 

Seventy issues, nearly complete (this collection lacks issues for May, 

1918; November, 1919, 1922, 1923; March, April, and October, 1923, and 

July, 1924). Each issue in original pictorial wrappers. Toned, the usual 

wear, some issues creased. Still, a fine collection of this beautifullyproduced 

magazine. From the collection of Zita Books. 

This monthly Socialist magazine was established by Max Eastman and 

his sister Crystal in 1918, to continue the work of the defunct magazine, 

The Masses, shut down by the government due to war regulations. It 

had first rate international news, as reported by John Reed (founder 

of the Communist Labor Party), Robert Minor, Hiram K. Moderwell, 

and others. It had literary contributions by E. E. Cummings, John Dos 

Passos, Ernest Hemingway, and others. But it was known for its beautiful 

artwork (including fine full-color cover art) by Art Young, Boardman 

Robinson, William Gropper, Fred Ellis, and others. 


45005 Bob Dylan. Tarantula. New York: The Macmillan Company, 

[1971]. First trade edition. Signed by Dylan on the half-title. Octavo. 

[x], 137, [7, blank] pages. Publisher’s full black cloth, spine lettered in 

gilt, dust jacket. Jacket spine sunned, jacket worn and chipped with 

several tears, binding rubbed. A good copy. [Together With:] Signed 

Concert Ticket. Ticket for a show on Sun. Nov. 17 1996 8:00 PM. Signed

fame; his Comic Sketch Book was popular at the time, and lampoons 

America with a sardonic wit reminiscent of Rowlandson.

45012 Albert Gallatin. The Speech of 

Albert Gallatin, a Representative from 

The County of Fayette, in the House of 

Representatives of The General Assembly of 

Pennsylvania, on the Important Question 

Touching the Validity of the Elections Held in 

the Four Western Counties of the State, on 

the 14th Day of October, 1794. With Notes 

and an Appendix, Containing Sundry 

Documents Relative to the Western 

Insurrection. Philadelphia: Printed by 

William W. Woodward, 1795. First edition. 

Octavo. 66 pages. Stitched as issued. Lightly 

dusted, lightly spotted, last leaf clipped at 

lower blank margin. Very good. 

Gallatin resided in Western Pennsylvania, the heart of the protests 

against Alexander Hamilton’s excise tax on whiskey. He had been 

elected to the U.S. Senate in 1793, but the Federalist-dominated 

Senate refused him a seat on the ground he had not been a naturalized 

citizen for the requisite nine years. He returned to Fayette County during 

the height of the Whiskey Rebellion, and was elected to Western 

Pennsylvania’s Rebel Assembly. In that capacity he delivered this speech, 

his first printed work during a long, distinguished, and eventful career. 

“In this crisis Gallatin played a dominant role. With superb courage and 

persuasive oratory he faced the excited and armed crowd, enheartened 

the moderates, won over the wavering, and at last secured a vote of 34 

to 23 in the revolutionary committee of sixty for peaceable submission 

to the law of the country. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that Gallatin 

saved western Pennsylvania from a civil war” (DAB). Gallatin’s Speech is 

an extraordinarily detailed review of this critical period, the first serious 

challenge to federal authority in the new Republic.

The Most Widely-Read Slavery Narrative 

Written by a Woman 

45016 [Jefferson Davis, subject]. [David Claypoole Johnston]. Jeff 

Davis, After the Fall of Fort Sumter 1861/Fort Sumter 1863. [Boston: 

D. C. Johnston, ca. 1863]. Original copper plate of a charming novelty 

moveable. Copper plate approximately 6.5 x 10 inches. With a contemporary 

example of the novelty itself; it is a portrait of Davis with eye 

holes and a mouth hole, and a hole at the bottom for the text (“Fort 

Sumter 1861” or “Fort Sumter 1863”). The item is folded around like an 

envelope and another piece fits inside (this piece has two different eye 

and mouth expressions as well as the aforementioned text). So the effect 

is of Davis smiling in 1861 and frowning in 1863 when the inner tab 

is pulled downward. Plate is very good with some minor abrasions to 

the recto, the verso being quite fingerprinted (and unpolished, as one 

would expect). This comes with some later uncut pulls from the plate. A 

charming and unusual bit of Civil War memorabilia. From the collection 

of Zita Books. 


45015 [Slavery]. [L. Maria Child, 

editor]. [Linda Brent - pseudonym 

of Harriet Jacobs]. Incidents in 

the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by 

Herself. Edited by L. Maria Child. 

Boston: Published for the Author, 

1861. First edition. Octavo. 306, 

[4, blank] pages. Publisher’s full 

brown cloth, boards double ruled in 

blind. Spine perished, boards worn, 

scuffed and soiled, hinges cracking, 

front free endpaper chipped at upper 

corner, partially obscuring previous 

owner’s gift inscription, pages 147-154 nearly detached, text a bit 

toned and mildly foxed. A fair copy of an important slavery narrative. 

Harriet Jacobs (1813-1897) wrote one of the most readable slave narratives 

with the editorial assistance of Lydia Child. Jacobs was the first 

female slave to write her memoirs. It is a thoughtful exposition on nineteenth-century 

morality and how it relates to women and their sexual 

freedom (namely, the forced relations endured by enslaved women). 

Some passages were so shocking to readers of the time, that this book 

was considered fiction for several years. 

Dummond, p. 68. Loggins, p. 228. 



First American Edition of Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia, a Gift from a Revolutionary 

War Colonel Willett to a John Henry, and Signed by Benjamin Franklin’s Grandson, Louis Bache 

45017 Thomas Jefferson. Notes on the State of Virginia. Philadelphia: Printed and Sold by Prichard and Hall, 1788. 

Scarce first American edition of the only full-length book by Jefferson published during his lifetime. Small octavo in fours (7.375 x 4.625 inches; 188 

x 118 mm.). [4], 244, [4, publisher’s advertisements] pages. Complete with the folding letterpress table of the Indian Tribes of Virginia between pages 

100 and 101 (with no splits or tears), and several other tables, including “A Comparative View of the Quadrupeds of Europe and of America” (pages 

49-52), “Birds of Virginia” (pages 72-76), as well as tables of prevailing wind speeds, the number of settlers and census of inhabitants, the number and 

condition of the militia, commercial productions, crimes, and weights and measures of currency. Full-page woodcut “Eye-Draught of Madison’s Cave” 

on page [20]. 

Contemporary mottled sheep. Smooth spine ruled in gilt with burgundy morocco gilt lettering label. Binding rubbed and worn, with some surface 

loss; front board detached, but held by a single thread; rear joint cracking; spine with horizontal crack and slight loss to label. Considerable foxing 

and browning; dark stain in lower gutter margin throughout, becoming larger toward the end of the volume; a few additional small spots or stains. 

Slight creasing to outer margin of T4-U3 (pages 143-150). A good copy of this scarce and fragile book, especially notable for its provenance: early ink 

inscription on title-page: “John Henry / the Gift of / Colonel Willett;” early ink signature on front pastedown: “Louis Bache,” with ink offsetting onto 

front free endpaper; early ink inscription on verso of front free endpaper: “Brookfield / Aunt / Mary Paxsen [sic] / gave me this book / saying—’you 

will care for / this more than anyone / I know of’ / Katharine [T] Paxsen [sic] / 1877—;” early pencil drawing on front free endpaper of a “Side View of a 

Chimney.” The date “1788” is written in arabic numerals beneath the printed date of publication on the title-page. 

Notes on the State of Virginia was originally written in response to a series of twenty-three questions about Virginia sent, in 1781, to various members 

of the Continental Congress by François de Barbé Marbois, secretary of the French legation to the United States. Becoming fascinated with the questions, 

Jefferson converted the task—one of instructing America’s revolutionary ally—into an intellectual self-discovery of his native land. In December 

1781, Jefferson sent his answers to Marbois, and over the next few years continued to expand and revise the information he had compiled. In 1785, in 

Paris as Minister to France, Jefferson paid to have 200 copies of his revised text printed for private distribution as Notes on the State of Virginia, with 

the date 1782 on the title-page. The 200 copies Jefferson had printed did not begin to meet the demand for the book, and pirated editions forced 

him to authorize a French translation in 1786, and in 1787, he authorized his London bookseller, John Stockdale, to publish for general sale a somewhat 

expanded edition of the work. 

Both the 1786 French edition and the 1787 English edition contained a folding map (in two different states) prepared by Jefferson and engraved by 

Samuel J. Neele. This 1788 first American edition was issued with neither a map, nor the plate of the “Natural Bridge,” both of which appeared in later 

American editions. 

“A digest of information and opinion on many subjects, Notes on Virginia is uniquely interesting as a guide to Jefferson’s mind as well as to his country. 

It exhibits his insatiable curiosity, his manifold interests, painstaking detail, and speculative bent. It reveals the man of science disciplined to empirical 

fact and eager to possess nature for the mind, yet also the man of almost romantic sensibility enraptured by the wonders of the American continent 

even as he quested for useful knowledge. Of special importance was Jefferson’s vindication of American nature against current European theories 

of biological impotence and decay in the New World. The book was a virtual manual of Jefferson’s political opinions, and some of its passages—on 

slavery, on the virtues of husbandry, on religious freedom, on the errors of the Virginia constitution—became so well known that they were said to be 

‘stereotyped in the public voice’” (American National Biography Online).

scholars even today.

[Together With]: Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa... Reprodução 

Fac-Similada Assinalando o II Centário da Edição. Lisbon: Centario 

da Academia das Ciencias de Lisboa, 1993. First edition of this facsimile 

edition with history and commentary about the original publication. 

Folio. Approximately 15.75 x 10 inches. Original publisher’s wrappers. 

Minor rubbing, else fine. This book was the monumental first attempt of 

the Academy of the first comprehensive dictionary of Portuguese. This 

first volume was the only attempted, as it generated poor reviews and 

led to ridicule of the Academy. They did not attempt a dictionary again 

until 1976, which also ended after the first volume. They did not issue a 

complete, comprehensive dictionary until 2006.

calf, title on red morocco label, edges speckled red, old endpapers 

and pastedowns preserved; some marginal worming G3-N8 [touching

discussion of the “states” of the first edition. This copy has the squared 

ornament on the title-page, the rules are 13mm below the type, and 

‘patronage’ on A3v. “Locke was known to be concerned at the quality 

of the printing of his writings, and to try to read the sheets before they 

were finally printed... I think the Churchills completed printing the first 

edition before Locke had made corrections; that he was so incensed by 

the errors that he insisted the whole first edition be suppressed, and the 

barely distinguishable second edition be made.” (Yolton). This copy has 

most of the corrections but lacks a few at the front of the volume and 

apparently is made up of some ‘mixed’ sheets of the first printing. From

45081 Juan Bautista Morales. El Gallo 

Pitagorico. Mexico: Ignacio Cumplido, 1845. 

First edition. Octavo. 280, [1, Indice], [1, blank] 

pages. With twenty lithographic plates by 

Cumplido after Irarte, Blanco and Raphael (the 

number of plates in this work varies - some 

with eighteen or twenty plates, but there is 

record of a copy with twenty-three plates). 

Original front wrapper bound-in. Bound in near 

contemporary quarter brown calf over black 

paper boards, spine ruled in gilt, brown gilt morocco 

lettering label. There is a pocket on the 

inside rear cover, but it is empty (this copy does 

not call for a plate large enough to warrant 

the presence of this pocket - it is possible this binding is a remboitage). 

Some wear to binding, text toned, soiled, and foxed, with some tears 

to some plates and leaves (some plates repaired). Bookplate of Libreria 

Poblana. A good copy. From the collection of Zita Books. 

“The great work of Cumplido in 1845 was El Gallo Pitagorico. Combining 

Cumplido’s typography, Juan Bautista Morales’ political satire and the 

excellent lithographs of Heredia, Irarte and newcomer Placido Blanco, 

this was the first major work to be illustrated with political caricatures. 

Such caricatures would later become the principal subject for lithographers.” 

(Mathes).

including articles about Italian national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi. But 

it is best known for its wonderful comic and satirical illustrations lampooning 

contemporary Italian life. From the collection of Zita Books.

Engravings of the Coins and Medals of the First 

Twelve Roman Emperors 

With Engraved Plates of Roman Coins 

45089 [Eneo Vico, illustrator]. Antonio Zantani. Omnium 

Caesarum verissimae imagines ex antiquis numismatis desumptae... 

Libri primi. Editio altera. Aeneas Vicus Parm. F. [Venice: Paulus Manutius], 

1554. Second edition (a reissue of the 1553 first edition) of the Latin 

translation of Le Imagini con tutti riversi trovati et le vite de gli imperatori 

tratte dale historie de gli antichi. Libro primo (1548). Small quarto (8.5 x 

5.875 inches; 227 x 150 mm). [71] leaves (letterpress and engravings 

interleaved): letterpress comprising 1 leaf with two addresses to the 

reader by Antonio Zantani (1509-1576) and 11 (of 12) leaves of biographical 

sketches, all with historiated woodcut initials, and 16 leaves 

index (signed A-D4); engravings comprising the engraved title within 

an architectural border, 12 pages of engraved cartouches with portraits 

of the emperors and details of their persons, and 65 (of 72) pages of 

engravings of coins and medals, all drawn and engraved by Enea Vico 

(1523-1567). The engravings are partly printed on both sides. This copy 

is lacking the biographical sketch for Claudius (1 leaf), and seven pages 

of engravings (on four leaves) of coins and medals for Domitianus. 

Early calf, quite worn, and suffering from red rot. The joints are cracked 

and the upper portion of the spine is missing. The engraved title is 

soiled and creased, strengthened on the verso at the outer edge, and 

mounted on a stub. A few additional leaves are mounted on stubs, and 

a few have been strengthened at the outer edge. Light to moderate foxing 

and browning, dampstaining to the lower portion of the text block, 

minor worming to the lower blank margin of about ten leaves. 

This work deals with the portraits and lives of the first twelve Roman 

emperors and all of the reverses of their coins and medals that the authors 

had found, arranged by the metal from which they were struck: 

gold, silver, or bronze. The Latin editions contain substantial alterations 

and additions to the 1548 Italian edition, including ten additional pages 

of engravings of coins and medals, Antonio Zantani’s addresses to the 

reader, and an index. Although “Libri primi” appears on the titles, no 

second book was published. This edition does not have the dedication 

to Pope Julius III by Eneo Vico present in the 1553 edition.

of coins or text, large printer’s engraving at end. Contemporary half 

pigskin over paper-covered boards, the title-page has a vertical crease 

from having been folded to preserve the fore-edge which extends beyond 

the book block, but by laying unfolded, there are some edge tears, 

stain on outer corner of title-page and following leaf, old bookplate 

removed from verso of title-page, old owner’s stamps on title-page and 

verso of final leaf (King’s Library of Augsburg with withdrawal stamp), 

wormholes in margin of last three leaves (no text affected), small tear in 

margin of last leaf (no text affected), a few minor edge stains, but it is a 

fine, crisp copy overall with an excellent impression of the plates. There 

was issued a second part in 1574 on Caesar Augustus which is not present 

here. From the Krown & Spellman Collection.

First Edition of the First Volume of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations 

45106 Adam Smith. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. London: Printed for W. Strahan; and T. Cadell, 1776. First 

edition. Quarto (volume I only). Approximately 11. x 8.25 inches. [12], 510 pages. Bound without final blank (no half-title called for in volume I), otherwise 

complete. Bound in contemporary full calf, ruled in gilt. Rebacked in later brown morocco, gilt, newer endleaves. Title-page mounted onto a 

stub, final leaf with outer margin restored, page 27 with a hole in the page number (number totally missing), page, 241 with a similar hole, but most 

of page number is still present, gutter facing page. 509 cracked, some offsetting to title-page, final few leaves dampstained, some minor foxing or 

thumbsoiling throughout. A few inoffensive pencil notes. Still, a good copy. [Together With:] John Neville Keynes (1852-1949, British economist 

and father of John Maynard Keynes). Autograph Letter Signed. Cambridge, 8, January, 1895. Addressed to Professor Laughlin. Three and one-half 

octavo pages on one quarto folded leaf. Some toning, a few creases, else near fine. In this letter, Keynes thanks Laughlin for an apparent job offer in 

the United States, but he politely declines. This letter raises the tantalizing possibility - what if he had accepted and John Maynard Keynes had been 

raised in the United States! 

Adam Smith (1723-1790) spent ten years in the writing and perfecting of The Wealth of Nations. “The book succeeded at once, and the first edition 

was exhausted in six months...Whether it be true or not, as Buckle said, that the ‘Wealth of Nations’ was, ‘in its ultimate results, probably the most 

important that had ever been written’...it is probable that no book can be mentioned which so rapidly became an authority both with statesmen and 

philosophers” (D.N.B.). “The history of economic theory up to the end of the nineteenth century consists of two parts: the mercantilist phase which 

was based not so much on a doctrine as on a system of practice which grew out of social conditions; and the second phase which saw the development 

of the theory that the individual had the right to be unimpeded in the exercise of economic activity. While it cannot be said that Smith invented 

the latter theory...his work is the first major expression of it. He begins with the thought that labour is the source from which a nation derives what is 

necessary to it. The improvement of the division of labour is the measure of productivity and in it lies the human propensity to barter and exchange... 

Labour represents the three essential elements-wages, profit and rent-and these three also constitute income. From the working of the economy, 

Smith passes to its matter-’stock’-which compasses all that man owns either for his own consumption or for the return which it brings him. The 

Wealth of Nations ends with a history of economic development, a definitive onslaught on the mercantile system, and some prophetic speculations 

on the limits of economic control...The Wealth of Nations is not a system, but as a provisional analysis it is complete convincing. The certainty of its 

criticism and its grasp of human nature have made it the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought” (Printing and the Mind of Man).

Illustrated. With a folding map in the rear pocket of each volume. 

Publisher’s full green cloth, decoratively stamped in black and gilt. 

Minor wear to bindings, gutter facing page [iii] in volume one cracking,

M. Stanley (Welsh Journalist and Explorer, 1841-1904). Clipped 

Signature. [N.p.], “May 6th 1890.”. Signed and dated in black ink on

45108 [Atlas]. Adolf Steiler. Hand-Atlas Über Alle Theile der Erde 

nach dem neuesten Zustande und Über das Weltgebäude. Gotha: 

Justus Perthes, 1859-1860. Probable third edition. Oblong folio. 14.25 

x 17.25 inches. [ii] pages. Complete with eighty-three hand-colored 

maps (two celestial maps are chromolithographed). With publisher’s 

twenty-two page pamphlet of captions and legends laid-in. Bound in 

modern quarter black cloth backstrip over marbled boards, original 

title from original cloth affixed to front board. Title leaf mounted and 

repaired, two maps with major repairs, several other maps with smaller 

marginal repairs or some creasing. Some toning, thumbsoiling throughout. 

Pamphlet bound into modern plain wrappers. Still, a very good 

atlas with handsome and highly detailed maps. 

“Hand-Atlases” were the most popular German world atlases of the 

nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries, and were in constant publication 

from 1817 until 1944, going through ten editions (each successive 

edition would have more maps than the previous one). Adolf Steiler 

(1775-1836) was the first editor of this atlas, and the series was still published 

under his name even after his death. Although many publishers 

had moved exclusively to chromolithography by the time the present 

edition was published, “Hand-Atlases” were still being reproduced, for 

the most part, with copperplate engravings and hand-coloring (they 

wouldn’t change to chromolithography exclusively until the 1890’s). The 

publisher, Justus Perthes of Gotha was founded in 1785 and is still in 

business today.

An Early American Bible for the Blind Printed 

Using the New York Point Alphabet 

One of the Greatest American Illustrated Books 

of the Mid-Nineteenth Century 

45117 [Bible in English]. [Holy Bible Containing the Old and New 

Testaments, translated out of Original Tongues and with the Former 

Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. Volume I. New York: 

American Bible Society... Stereotyped and Printed at the American 

Printing House for the Blind, Louisville, KY, 1895]. First edition of this bible, 

volume I only. Folio. Approximately 13.5 x 11.5 inches. [164] leaves 

embossed in the New York Point alphabet for the blind. Contemporary 

half brown calf over brown cloth boards, spine ruled in gilt, spine label 

perished. Binding worn and soiled, some toning, minor soiling to text, 

though embossing seems to be in good condition. Still, a good copy. 

New York Point for the blind was invented by educator for the blind, 

William Bell Wait (1839-1916) as an alternative to the previous system 

of printing for the blind, which consisted of raised text of the standard 

alphabet. He felt that a system of raised points would be easier to be 

perceived by a blind person (New York Point is similar to Braille in that 

respect). He also invented the Keidograph which was used in embossing 

New York Point letters onto paper and the Stereograph, which made 

metal plates for printing books for the blind. New York Point was one 

of the most popular alphabets for the blind, until the advent of Braille. 



45118 [Illustrated Books]. The Illuminated Bible, Containing the 

Old and New Testaments, Translated Out of the Original Tongues... New

[ii], 128, [xii], 256, [60, indices] pages. Plates reckoned within pagination, 

several pages printed in color. Publisher’s handsome full red levant 

morocco, boards double-ruled and decoratively paneled in gilt, spine 

tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, five raised bands, gilt board 

edges and turn-ins, all edges gilt. Spine a bit dull, binding worn, hinges 

just starting, some foxing in text. Neat contemporary presentation on “A 

Sacred Token” leaf (page [1]). Still, near fine condition, much better than 

usually seen for this title, especially when the size and heft of the book 

is taken into consideration. From the collection of Zita Books. 

“Before Darley came the first really ambitious American book, the 

Harper Illuminated Bible of 1846 with 1600 engravings most of them 

from designs by J. G. Chapman. This would have been a considerable 

undertaking anywhere but for a country where book production had 

not long been in progress it is quite remarkable. The influence of steelengraving 

can be discerned in the sharpness of the engraving, all of it 

in the facsimile style, most of it undertaken by J. S. Adams. Adams also 

supervised and took part in the printing of his own cuts, and his work 

now marks the beginning of a great improvement in wood-engraving 

generally. This is one of the few bibles that is generally and consistently 

illustrated throughout. Literally every opening has a half-page block, a 

tiny vignette, or a decorated initial, often all three; and the illustration 

of the Psalms or the Epistles, usually left severely alone, presents no obstacles. 

The result is however a technical rather than an artistic tour de 

force remarkable in its time and place and expertly printed but with all 

the limitations of the age.” (Bland)

Ten full-page illustrations (it lacks the duplicated frontispiece plate, and 

the folding plate has been trimmed to fit with a little loss to the border 

and the tops of the letterpress in the seal facing Rr1v). There is some 

confusion about the number of plates in the full complement. There are 

ten different plates with the one facing Part 1, page 189 duplicated and 

used as a frontispiece (here used as the frontispiece). This matches the 

description of the Huntington and National Library of Medicine copies 

and the eleven plates called for by Ferguson. Many copies have only 

ten plates, as this one (for obvious reasons) or only six (i.e. Hoover). One 

large text cut on Ss1. From the Krown & Spellman Collection.

45175 [Physics]. [Karl Scheel, editor]. Zeitschrift fur Physik. 

Braunschweig and Berlin: Friedr. Vieweg & Sohn; Julius Springer, [1920- 

1936]. First editions. Volumes 3 to 103, inclusive. Illustrated with tables, 

graphs, diagrams, etc. Text in German. Volumes 3 to 80 uniformly bound 

in full blue cloth, spines lettered in gilt. Spines a bit browned, some 

rubbing or bumping to bindings. Volumes 81 to 103 in fascicle issues 

with six numbers per volume. Original wrappers, some with light wear, 

others with heavier wear, toning. Overall, a very good copy of this set, 

hardly ever seen this large. 

This series was a major journal issued by the German Physical Society 

and edited by Karl Scheel in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Major physicists 

of the generation contributed to its pages. In 1919, the the Society 

formed a committee consisting of Albert Einstein, Eugen Goldstein, 

Fritz Haber, E. Jahnke, Karl Scheel and Wilhelm Westphal, who recommended 

that a new journal, the Zeitschrift fur Physik, be established for 

original research articles, which began publication the following year. 

During the early twentieth century, this publication became one of the 

most prestigious journals in physics, with its golden years coinciding 

with the rising years of quantum mechanics. Zeitschrift fur Physik was 

published from 1920 until 1997 by Springer Verlag under the auspices 

of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft. This collection of volumes 

represents the era of Karl Scheel, who became its first editor and served 

until his death in 1936. The journal under his stewardship grew rapidly, 

issuing fifty volumes, by 1928, and the 100th by 1936. Under Sheel, it 

established itself as the home of the new “Atomphysik” of the N. Bohr’s, 

A. Sommerfeld’s, and M. Born’s schools. M. Friedmann published here 

his famous cosmological solutions to Einstein’s theory of gravitation. As 

quantum theory took shape, the leading papers of O. Stern, W. Gerlach, 

W. Bothe, H. Geiger, M. Born, and others appeared in Zeitschrift fur Physik. 

The new generation of theoretical physicists included W. Heisenberg, P. 

Jordan, W. Pauli, P. Wigner, and many more, who developed the series of 

remarkable papers on matrix mechanics, transformation theory and first 

ideas on quantum field theory. Autorenregisters appear in each issue, 

with five-volume cumulative listings, and with a fascicle issue [1936] 

reporting Banden 51 through 100. For a complete listing, please see our

Reproduction

Watercolor Drawing. [N.p., n.d., C. 1824]. Approximately 13 x 18 inches. 

On plain paper, mounted onto cardboard. A vertical tear near the center, 

some edgewear, some toning and mild soiling, tape residue to verso. 

This drawing is unsigned, but believed to be the work of Frederick 

Catherwood, executed at the same time as another, signed Catherwood 

in this auction.

[Together With:] Marc Chagall (Russian-born French artist, 1887- 

1985). Typed Letter Signed. “Les Collines”/Venice, 25 septembre 1953. 

One octavo page. Approximately 8.25 x 6.25 inches. In this letter (in

Praying Jew,” as it is owned by “collectionneur Robenson [sic],” and he 

must contact Robinson for permission. Creased. With the original mailing 

envelope. [Together With:] Edward G. Robinson (American Actor 

and Art Collector, 1893-1973). Typed Letter Signed. [N.p.], June 9, 

1953. One octavo page. Approximately 7.5 x 6.5 inches. In this amiable 

letter, Robinson states that he regrets that he doesn’t have a copy to 

send to his correspondent, but he grants permission to the correspondent 

to take a photo of the painting in order to make his own copy. 

Robinson has signed and initialed the letter. Both letters and the mailing 

envelope are matted, framed and glazed together. A fine collection. 

The original painting was displayed in the National Gallery of Art in 

1953 when the collector saw it. He wrote to Chagall asking for permission 

to make a copy, but Chagall responded that he couldn’t grant such 

a request, as he no longer owned the painting. Then the collector wrote 

to the owner of the painting, Edward G. Robinson, who gave permission 

to have a copy made.

James. He eventually realized publications on the first three cities...”

A Rare Book on Carnivals and Masks 

45195 [Antonio Francesco Grazzini, AKA Lasca]. Tutti i trionfi, carri, 

mascheaate [sic] o canti carnascialeschi andati per Firenze, dal te[m]po 

del Magnifico Lorenzo vecchio de Medici ... Florence: [Lorenzo Torrentino], 

1559. First edition. Octavo. [xx], 465, [6, Tavola], [1, blank] pages. 

Complete, with all text pages, including the portion between pages 299 

and 396, usually found missing. Near contemporary full vellum, ink titles 

on spine. Some rubbing, minor soiling to binding, hinges cracked (yet 

still solid), title-page possibly supplied or re-inserted and with some ink 

markings, some foxing, thumbsoiling in text. Minor worm damage to 

first few leaves. A very good copy. 

This is the rare first edition of the famous book on Florentine masks 

and festivals (the festivals can be regarded as predecessors to operatic 

performances of a later time). “The songs, which still remain have been 

collected, give the explanation of the masquerade sometimes in a humorous, 

sometimes in an excessively indecent tone. Some of the worst 

are attributed to Lorenzo the Magnificent, probably because the real 

author did not venture to declare himself. However, this may be, we 

must certainly ascribe to him the beautiful song which accompanied 

the masque of Bacchus and Ariadne, whose refrain echoes to us from 

the fifteenth century, like a regretful presentiment of the brief splendor 

of the Renaissance itself!” (Translation of Brunet). From the collection of 

John Carrol Collins.

x 6.75 inches. With title-page and twenty four (of twenty five) etched

cut down. Nineteenth century half morocco over cloth, title gilt, bookplate 

of Warrington Library, stamps or embossed blind stamps on each 

plate in margin never in plate image; title-page marginally slightly defective, 

soiled and cut down and then laid-down, foxed; some soiling to 

first plate and verso of last plate; some foxing and offsetting; stab holes 

at top edge from original sewing (last three plates repaired at this edge 

because of stab holes).Watermarks: Churchill 406 “Strassburg Lilly”, or, 

Hardwood 1808-10 “Fleur-de-Lis”. Sets issued after this edition can have 

as many as twenty seven plates. From the Krown & Spellman Collection.

[xii], 20; [iv]. With two chromolithographed title-pages and 102 full page plates (one plate is a fold-out plate, three are double-page and sixty seven 

are chromolithographs). Most plates in volume I have descriptive text leaves (no descriptive text for plates 30, 34, and 52); all plates have a protective 

sheet inserted. Bound by Wright in contemporary full brown morocco, boards elaborately ruled and paneled in gilt, spines paneled and lettered in 

gilt in compartments, six raised bands, gilt board edges and turn ins, all edges gilt. Bindings worn, hinges and joints cracking or tender, several leaves 

(mainly blanks) creased or with some tears. A few plates with short tears or minor soiling. Still, a very good copy of a large and beautiful work. 

This book was many years in planning and production (Jones’ partner in the endeavor, Goury, died during its production) and became one of the 

most important early examples of chromolithography.

A Very Rare Suite of Ten Tinted Lithographed 

Plates by Edgar Charles May of Scenes of 

Australian Bush Life 

45199 [American Lithography]. Philadelphia Sketch Club Portfolio. 

Philadelphia: Taylor & Smith, January - December, 1874. Twelve parts in 

eleven folio issues, all published. Approximately 14.25 x 11.25 inches. 

With a total of fifty-five lithographed plates, some tinted. Original publisher’s 

printed wrappers. Wrappers detached and worn, plates loose 

(as issued), some ink notations. Still, a very good copy of this rare and 

fragile item. Artists include: A. B. Frost, W. H. Lippincott, T. P. Chandler, 

and many more. 

“These plates are printed for the Sketch Club by Mr. Alfred Dickes, No. 

125 South Fourth Street, through the medium of phto-lithography [sic]. 

The fidelity with which sketches, plans, maps, etchings &c may be reproduced 

(either in an enlarged or reduced form) by this method together 

with the comparatively small cost, renders it invaluable to artists, architects, 

surveyors, and in fact all who may have need of duplicate copies 

of any such work.” (From the inner rear wrapper of issue I). From the collection 

of Zita Books. 


45201 [E[dgar] C[harles] May (after Samuel Thomas Gill 

and George Hamilton), artist]. Complete Suite of Ten Tinted 

Lithographed Plates. [Adelaide: E. S. Wigg & Son, n.d., ca. 1890’s]. Ten 

tinted lithographs depicting life in the Australian Bush. Approximately 

8 x 10.75 inches. Loose as issued. Some toning, foxing and minor soiling. 

Very good. 

A very rare suite of lithographs (it was unrecorded until the mideighties) 

after two separate artists, depicting two different aspects of 

bush life: life in the gold fields and in the Bush by Samuel Thomas Gill, 

and Bushmen by George Hamilton. The Gill plates are: ‘’The Bushranger 

Pursued’’, ‘’The Claim Disputed’’, ‘’Cradling Forest Creek 1852’’, ‘’Native 

sneaking Emus’’, and ‘’Mustering Cattle’’; the Hamilton plates are 

‘’Bushmen in Danger’’, ‘’Australian Bushmen’’, ‘’The Bushman’’, ‘’The Lost 

Bushman’’, and ‘’The Found Bushman’’. It is believed that these lithographs 

were done for a proposed book on Bush life by Wigg that never 

materialized. Even less is known about May, as there is no other example 

of his work as yet found. From the collection of Zita Books.

45202 [Domenico Mellini, attributed to]. Le Dieci Mascherate delle 

bufole mandate in Firenze il giorno di carnouale l’anno 1565. Con la 

descrittione di tutta la pompa delle maschere, e loro inuentioni. Florence: 

Appresso i Guinti, 1566. First edition of this very rare book. Small octavo. 

56 pages (with publisher’s pagination error, with page 9 numbered as 

17 and pagination continues from that point). Bound in later paste-paper 

boards. Some wear, soiling and repairs (including one tape repair to 

spine) to boards, front pastedown soiled, bookplate of previous owner 

on front free endpaper, small ink numerals on title-page, text occasionally 

foxed. Still, a very good copy of a rare book (Worldcat only has three 

copies in institutions, and only two other copies have been at auction in 

the last seventy years). 

This title is an account of the 1565 Carnival in Florence in which there 

were ten masked groups, each being led by a “bufala” (a female buffalo) 

in costume. It also describes, in detail, the fancy dress of the participants 

(with many noble figures of the time), as well as the activities 

- including a race of the “bufalas,” music, dancing, and fireworks. The 

Carnival lasted until the early morning hours of the next day. From the 

library of John Carrol Collins.

p., 1954]. One folio sheet in full color. Approximately 31.75 x 14.25 inches

a sample calendar, with a crease between the two). Some chipping 

to edge, heavier in the calendar section (two small chips in the margins 

of the Monroe image, not affecting her figure). Some dampstaining to 

verso of frame, not apparently affecting the image or the front of the 

frame. Still, very good with excellent color. Matted, framed and glazed.

Brigid Polk (real name, Brigid Berlin, born 1939) is an artist, photographer, 

actress, and was a central figure of Andy Warhol’s Factory (she 

even took part in his infamous prank when, in 1969, Warhol told the 

world that all of his paintings were actually by her - this led to a drastic 

drop in value of his artwork, and a retraction by both Warhol and her, 

but the question of authorship looms to this day). From the collection of 

I.D. “Nash” Flores III.

Wilfrid Scawen Blunt (1840-1922) was a poet and essayist. Although 

married to Lady Anne Noel, he had many mistresses, including the 

much younger (17 years to his 58, at the time of their affair) Margaret 

Sackville (1881-1963). Blunt and Sackville got together at the behest 

of her mother, who had introduced them in the hope that he would 

dissuade her from publishing her somewhat risqué sonnets. Blunt and 

Sackville discovered a mutual interest in Arthurian Legend, and soon 

thereafter, each other. In the unpublished manuscript poem, he writes 

of the pain of love, and his wanting to resist it, but he eventually breaks 

down to embrace it (and, presumably, her). From the collection of John 

Carrol Collins. Clark Library, Kelmscott and Doves, pp. 13-14. Peterson, A3.

had previously been reprinted as a 4d. pamphlet by F.J. Furnivall on the 

occasion of the opening of the Working Men’s College in 1853. Cook 

and Wedderburn, in their Library Edition of Ruskin’s Works, add the following

the first in which Chaucer type was used (for table of contents and glossary).

Games of Love 

First Editions of the Hunger Games Trilogy, Each 

Signed or Inscribed by the Author 

45271 Peter Rollos. Le Centre de l’Amour, Decouvert soubs 

Divers Emblesmes Galans et Facetieux. Paris: Chez Cupidon, 1680. 

First edition. Small oblong quarto (5.125 x 6.8125 inches; 130 x 178 

mm.). [4], 90 (of 92), [2] leaves. Collation: *4, A-H4, I(4-1), K-O4, P(4-1), 

Q-Z4, **2. Engraved allegorical title, 90 (of 92) engraved plates, and 

engraved “Quatrain” (on the verso of Plate 92), all after Peter Rollos. 

Lacking I3 (Plate 35, “Deux trepas,” and the French verse for Plate 

36, “Les flateurs”) and P1 (Plate 57, “L’instinct,” and the French verse 

for Plate 58, “Efforts inutiles”). The “Tables des Emblesmes” (2 leaves), 

which contains on the verso of the second leaf the French verse to 

accompany Plate 1 (“Les Ages”), is bound at the end instead of following 

the preface, and the rear flyleaf is adhered to it - the flyleaf has 

been partially torn away, but still conceals much of the French verse. 

Late eighteenth-century tree calf, neatly rebacked, with most of 

the original spine laid down. Smooth spine decoratively tooled and 

lettered in gilt, covers with decorative border of gilt dots, marbled 

endpapers, edges sprinkled blue (now darkened). Title engraving 

cut and mounted; lower corner of K4 (Plate 40, “Crainte de scandale”) 

renewed, affecting both engraving and text; tear to upper margin of 

S4 (Plate 72, “Pauvre rencontre”), affecting both engraving and text; 

verso of Z3 badly stained with ink (possibly an attempt to obliterate 

the French verse for Plate 92, “Le Cocu”). Several additional mostly 

marginal tears or paper flaws, some repaired. Some edge browning; 

slight dampstaining in the upper corner, heaviest in the first three 

gatherings; a few additional small stains. Pencil note on front free 

endpaper and a few scattered ink or pencil marks. Overall, a very 

good copy, with dark impressions of the plates. Rare. Landwehr and 

Praz cite only later issues of this work. Engravings after Peter Rollos, 

previously published in his Vita Corneliana and Euterpae suboles 

(1639, although both first published earlier), with mottoes in Latin 

and German (a few in German only), and French verse on the facing 

pages. The plates include depictions of courting couples engaging 

in or observing various sports and activities, including backgammon, 

cards, tennis, shuffleboard, volleyball, croquet, duelling with swords, 

archery, and jousting. Le Centre de l’Amour (published by Cupid 

himself, according to the imprint), with its “gallant and facetious” emblems, 

“adopts a consciously libertine (‘libre’) approach to its subject, 

versification and meaning in the interests solely of giving pleasure to 

its readers...The author’s guiding principle is the Latin Natura diverso 

gaudet (Nature delights in diversity) at once an advertisement for the 

book’s various delights, and a frank recommendation to promiscuous 

enjoyment...Each activity carries its own double entendre involving 

balls, shuttlecocks, the middle-region, cones or feathers. These objects 

are rather monotonously stroked, pushed, knocked, hit, struck, 

rubbed, or touched” (John Manning, The Emblem (London: 2002), 

pages 175-176). Landwehr, German Emblem Books, 223. Praz, Studies 

in Seventeenth-Century Imagery, pages 302 and 477-478.

master was used for the American version of the dust jacket from 

the very beginning. Approximately 11.75 x 8.75 inches. Plates made 

out of magnesium with wooden backings. Some minor wear (as is to be 

expected), some tape markings on verso. Still, fine. 

“This magnesium die was made by Craig M. McGowan at our family engraving 

shop, Engravers Technology, 3111 Falls Cliff Road, Baltimore MD 

[now out of business]. 

It was made by removing some material with a milling machine, operated 

by hand. Die was finished by etching in a nitric acid bath. All old 

school craftsmanship, NO computers or C. N. C. Machines. 

The dark die is a master die made from the mag[nesium] die. Duplicate 

dies are made from the master + sent to the finishing house to be used 

to emboss the final product. Craig McGowan” (From the consignor’s letter).

worked as an artist, producing paintings, etchings and pastels of conventional subjects, in addition to the watercolor fantasies for which he is best 

known. He also wrote stories and music, and did periodical illustrations. In 1923 he published The Ship that Sailed to Mars, which he wrote, illustrated 

and produced himself. This has become a classic work.

of the Asbestos Edition made. I took the front pages along on the 

boat to France that autumn, to sign on the way. I seem to recall (and it 

was more than 20 years ago!) that I signed at least 210 or 215 separate 

pages...so those might have gone into 10 or 15 copies over and beyond 

those indicated on the asbestos frontispiece!” Mr. Bradbury’s letter explains 

how the present copy is number 213 out of 200 copies! Barron,

The First Appearance of Tarzan 

Nine Issues of a Rare Brazilian Cinema Magazine 

45311 [Cinema]. A Scena Muda. Rio de Janeiro: Companhia Editora 

Americana, 1926, 1928. First editions. Issues 260 (March 18, 1926) and 

369-376 (April 19, 1928-June 7, 1928). Nine quarto issues. In original stapled 

color pictorial wrappers. Some minor wear, a few small worm holes, 

issue 260 with more extensive worm damage and covers detached. Still, 

the collection is in generally near fine condition for such a fragile item. 

This weekly magazine ran from 1921 until 1955, making it one of the 

longest running Brazilian cinema magazines of the time. It was designed 

to heavily feature the American film industry in an attempt to 

help American films enter and prosper in the Brazilian market. 


45310 Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan of the Apes. In The All-Story, 

Volume XXIV, Number 2, October 1912. New York and London: Frank 

A. Munsey Company, 1912. First issue of the first ever appearance of 

Tarzan, containing the entire text of Tarzan of the Apes and preceding 

the A. C. McClurg & Co. book edition by a year-and-a-half. This was 

Burroughs’ second published work and his first without the use of a 

pseudonym. Large octavo. [8], 241-480, [12] pages. The four preliminary 

and six concluding leaves of advertisements on brighter slick paper, in 

contrast to the inferior wood pulp comprising the magazine’s textual 

leaves. Original pictorial wrappers featuring Tarzan’s debut illustration 

by Clinton Pettee. Covers are only trifle rubbed with moderate tears to 

each end and the middle of the rear joint as well as a handful of minor 

closed tears to edges, some light chipping and creasing to spine. The 

verso of the front wrapper and each of the preliminary pages with 

dampstaining to margins but cover art and Tarzan story remain unaffected. 

It appears as if the four preliminary pages may have been reinserted 

or tipped in, though there is no direct evidence that they are 

not original to this copy. Pages browned. Small wormhole occurring at 

bottom edge. Overall, a beautiful, very good copy of a scarce and fragile 

work. 

Heins, 38. 



First Edition of Arthur C. Clarke’s 

Childhood’s End 

Forty-Eight Pages of Manuscript for an 

Abandoned Novel by John Crowley 

45312 Arthur C. Clarke. Childhood’s End. New York: Ballantine Books, 

[1953]. First edition. Octavo. [vi], [218] pages. Publisher’s full rust cloth, 

spine lettered in dark blue, dust jacket. Jacket spine slightly sunned, 

minor rubbing, two tiny tears at spine, and very minor soiling to jacket, 

minor rubbing to book, else a fine copy, much better than usually seen. 

Pringle, Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels, 9. 


45313 John Crowley. Monas. [N.p., n.d.]. Forty-eight pages of 

manuscript. Folio sheets on yellow-ruled paper. Approximately 13 x 8.5 

inches. Rectos only. Written in calligraphic ink or pencil. This manuscript 

comprises a thirteen page summary of the novel and two complete 

chapters. “Monas is a story about the conflicts between two nations, 

and between two magical realms as well. The two nations are England 

and Ireland. The two magical realms are the ancient order of fairies, and 

the new order of powers brought into being — or rather brought under 

man’s sway — by the operations of newly-invented Renaissance magic: 

Hermetic, cabalistic, micro-macrocosmic, angelic.” Novel was eventually 

abandoned by Crowley. With corrections and notes by him. Some wear 

to leaves, some occasional soiling. Very good. 

John Crowley (b. 1942) is a writer of science fiction and fantasy, best 

known for his award-winning novel, Little, Big (1981) and his AEgypt 

series. 



Twenty Seven Pages of Corrected Typescript by 

John Crowley 

“Rick Decard was a cop with an unusual beat...” 

45314 John Crowley. Trxx. [N.p., n.d.]. Twenty seven pages of typescript 

with Crowley’s manuscript corrections. Approximately 11 x 8.5 

inches. On plain white paper. Rectos only. Some minor rubbing, else 

fine. 

An, as yet, unpublished children’s story by Crowley about growing up 

on another planet. “Maybe there are animals and people living on this 

planet who are like the people who live on Earth — only different.”

City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1968. First edition. Octavo. [vi], 210

copy, with typed label (“Science Fiction”) affixed to spine of dust 

jacket, jacket spine somewhat sunned, some rubbing to jacket, tape 

residue to jacket flaps, evidence of pocket and affixed-slip removal 

from free endpapers, “Withdrawn” stamp on front free endpaper, library 

stamp and ink markings on page [v], some light tape residue to boards 

and endleaves, front free endpaper wrinkled. Still, a very good copy, 

which shows better than the typical ex-library copy. 



The Rare Companion Plate to the Baker Street Irregulars Plaque 

45316 [Sir Arthur Conan Doyle & Sherlock Holmes]. Original Brass Plate Mounted to a Dinner Tray Celebrating the Publication of Vincent 

Starrett’s 221B: Studies in Sherlock Holmes. A companion to the plaque-mounted plate (together two of three total plates known—the third, another 

tray, appeared in a 2013 auction) and commemorating the publication party for Starrett’s then newly-printed anthology of Holmes-related 

writings hosted by the Baker Street Irregulars at the Murray Hill Hotel in New York on January 30, 1940. According to Jon Lellenberg’s January 2014 

article “The Mystery of the Two Three Irregular Plates,” This tray is not mentioned in the minutes of the dinner taken by Edgar W. Smith; therefore, it 

was almost certainly not presented to Starrett at that time, only further obscuring its origin. 

The dinner tray on which the plate is mounted is likely made of oak and measures approximately 18.25 x 26.5 inches, with brass and wood handles 

at each end. The plate design compliments its counterpart, with Holmes’s profile, after a popular drawing by Frederic Dorr Steele, centered in magnifying 

glass device, with the engraved thumbprints of “Partners in Crime” Vincent Starrett and Harold S. Lantham (trade editor at Macmillan) on 

either side. Reliefs of The Great Seal of the United States and the Annuit Cœptis seal found on the reverse of the United States one-dollar bill are at 

the upper corners next to the inlaid obverse and reverse of an 1895 Victoria shilling. At the upper center “The Macmillan Company / 221b Studies 

in Sherlock Holmes 221b / January 30 1940 New York” and “The Baker Street Irregulars” is under Holmes’ profile. Engraved along the bottom edge is 

“The Broad Street Irregulars – Lambie & Barrowman – American Bank Note Co.” 

On the tray’s reverse there is a mounted oval wooden label marked “United States of America” with an Asian character enclosed in a triangle 

beneath it. Additionally, three items are pasted to corners: a partial review of Charlie Chan at the Race Track rubber stamped “Avenue de Colmar / 

Schlumpf / Mulhouse,” a newspaper photo of a recreation of the interior of 221b Baker Street with brief description, and a label with barely legible 

holographic pencil notations. Some additional text carved directly into the wood. Small brass mount to upper center. 

The tray has maintained an overall very nice appearance, and remains in near fine condition with only a small handful of minor blemishes and slight 

separation of two sidewalls at joints. 


Lots 45316 & 45317: 

These plates, at a cursory glance, are but seemingly simple relics to celebrate Starrett’s publication of 221B: Studies in Sherlock Holmes (1940) 

and the Baker Street Irregulars (BSI) of the early 1940s, but after closer observation, several important associations with the BSI can be made 

(with referencing the bsiarchivalhistory.org website and the research of Jon Lellenberg). The legend at the bottom left of each plate, “The Broad 

Street Irregulars” refers to the address of the offices of the American Bank Note Co. (whose name appears at the bottom right), the evident 

manufacturer of both plates. Their involvement was, no doubt, due to the fact that one of their executives, Allan Murray Price (whose name 

appears on one of the central medallions on the July 11 plate), was an early member of BSI, who had once submitted a “near perfect” solution 

to Frank Morley’s Sherlock Holmes Crossword, earning him a place at the first formal meeting and later the first formal dinner of the BSI, both in 

1934. On the reverse of each, there is the rubber stamp “MDIVANI PARIS 1948,” indicating the one-time ownership of Denis Conan-Doyle, one 

of the sons of Sir Arthur (who had married the Georgian pretend-princess Nina Mdivani, but that’s another story). There is a curious legend in 

the bottom-center of the plates: “Lambie & Barroman;” this seems to refer to key witnesses in the 1909 controversial Oscar Slater murder case: 

Helen Lambie and Mary Barrowman, which Sir Arthur followed closely (he, like many people were convinced of Slater’s innocence and of the 

corrupted nature of his trial, and even wrote The Case of Oscar Slater in 1912, pleading for Slater’s pardon - Slater had his conviction thrown 

out and was freed in 1928). Why these two earned mention is an actual mystery, and the overall mystery regarding when and why these plates 

were produced lingers on, perhaps never to be deduced. Reference: Jon Lellenberg, “The Mystery of the Two Three Irregular Plates,” in The Saturday 

Review of Literature, January 18, 2014. 


A Mysterious Brass Plaque Celebrating Vincent Starrett and Sherlock Holmes 

45317 [Sir Arthur Conan Doyle & Sherlock Holmes]. Original Brass Plate Mounted to Plaque Celebrating the Publication of Vincent 

Starrett’s 221B: Sudies in Sherlock Holmes. Perhaps presented to Vincent Starrett at a publisher’s() event in Toronto on July 11, 1940, on 

the occasion of the publication of Starrett’s 221B - Studies in Sherlock Holmes (perhaps celebrating the Canadian publication or as a delayed 

congratulations after the BSI Dinner that year, which was held on January 30, 1940 and was the publication party for Starrett’s book). 

The plate is mounted to a walnut board an measures approximately 19.5 x 29.5 inches. The plate design follows the same currency motif of 

its New York predecessor featuring the same reliefs of The Great Seal of the United States and the Annuit Cœptis, with six 1895 Victoria shillings 

inlaid. Centered on the plate is an engraving of Holmes in profile after the popular drawing by Frederic Dorr Steele in a magnifying glass 

device surrounded by words “Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Literary Agent 1895.” At the upper center is “The Baker Street Irregulars / The MacMillan 

Company / Studies in Sherlock Holmes / January 30 1940” with “221 B” on either side of the date. Surrounding the central Holmes figure are 

eight radiating lines, four per side, bearing the fancifully named dishes served at the BSI dinner such as Ice Cream and Petit Signs of Four. 

Further there is a larger medallion of Queen Victoria below the Holmes profile and two engraved fingerprints at the extreme right and left, 

though unlabeled, likely belonging to Starrett and his editor at Macmillan Harold S. Lantham, the “Partners in Crime” of the January 1940 plate. 

Mounted directly to the board beneath the plate is the label “With the Compliments of / The Macmillan Co. / 11 July 1940, Toronto.” 

On the reverse of the plaque is a square section of heavy cardboard measuring 6.5 x 5.5 inches, with a central watercolor showing through a 

beveled opening. There are numerous stamps and notes. It seems to have been addressed like a letter: “C/o Stanley Hopkins OBE / Theodore 

Fischer / Galerie Fischer [a Swiss auction house] Haldenstrasse 19 / Luzern / Telephone 2211325772.” This ties in with the Sherlock Holmes 

theme as Stanley Hopkins OBE appeared in “Mrs. Hudson Speaks” with Zazu Pitts. Also Stanley Hopkins appears in many of the stories, rising 

in rank from Chief Inspector to Superintendent to Assistant Commissioner. The reference here could mean that Theodore Fischer assumed the 

moniker of “Stanley Hopkins OBE” as his Sherlockian nickname, a common practice among the more serious devotees of the Great Detective. 

Or, as according to BSI historian, Jon Lellenberg recently posited in his January 18, 2014 article in The Saturday Review of Literature, the Hopkins 

reference could be a direct tie to Christopher Morley, “who used that circumlocution occasionally for remarks of his own in his ‘Clinical Notes 

of a Resident Patient’ column in the Original Series BSJ in the latter 1940s.” As a side note: it is also bears mention from Mr. Lellenberg’s article 

that this plate was almost assuredly not presented to Starrett AT the BSI Dinner (or in time for the dinner), since such an event would have 

certainly been mentioned by Edgar W. Smith in his minutes from the dinner. 

The plaque remains in very good condition with a small crack to glass at the bottom of the magnifying glass, some scant peeling at edges of 

ribbon devices. Border detached but present with original nails missing. Negligible chipping to board corners with some minor scuffs to margins, 

still a very presentable unique Holmesiana artifact. 



A Very Rare Book from Arkham House 

A Collection of the James Bond Novels and 

Thrilling Cities 

45318 Leah Bodine Drake. A Hornbook for Witches. Poems of 

Fantasy. Sauk City: Arkham House, 1950. First edition, one of 553 copies 

printed (most of which went to the author rather than for sale). Octavo. 

70 pages. Publisher’s black cloth and dust jacket designed by Frank 

Utpatel. Jacket rubbed at joints, and a faint crease near the front flap 

(not unusual for the paper used for the jacket). A bright, fine copy of a 

notoriously difficult Arkham House title. 


An Early Draft of the Screenplay 

for Blade Runner 

45319 Hampton Fancher. Blade Runner. Hollywood: July 24, 1980. 

Early draft (done by Fancher before David Webb Peoples contributed). 

Quarto. Approximately 11 x 8.5 inches. On plain white paper. 110 leaves. 

Printed copy, rectos only. Bound in thin red plastic wraps via screws. 

“Blade Runner” written in black ink on spine. Minor rubbing, some toning 

to edges. Still, fine. 

An earlier draft, quite different from the final screenplay. Perhaps the 

greatest difference is that at the end of this version, Deckard kills Rachel 

rather than escapes Los Angeles with her. From his final voice over in 

this draft: “I told myself over and over again, if I hadn’t done it, they 

would have. I didn’t go back to the city, not that city, I didn’t want the 

job. She said the great advantage of being alive was to have a choice. 

And she chose. And a part of me was almost glad. Not because she was 

gone but because this way they could never touch her...” 


45320 Ian Fleming. Collection of James Bond Novels and Thrilling 

Cities. London: Jonathan Cape, 1953-1966. Several are first editions (reprint

four months before she was revealed to be Galbraith). Rowling is the 

internationally celebrated author of the “Harry Potter” novels.

Poems of Robert E. Howard. Sauk City: Arkham House, 1957. First edition,

Keller/Underwood/May 25-52”. With Keller’s occasional corrections. 

Some wear, soiling, and toning to folder, minor wear to typescript. A 

very good and unusual item. 

David H. Keller (1880-1966) was a science fiction and horror writer, and 

the first psychiatrist to write for those genres. He is generally criticized 

for his pessimism, and his racist and anti-feminist views, although we 

was considered to be a complex and underrated writer.

states that: “We feel that it may be the novel of the year - a headlong 

narrative with the drive and relentless power of THE EXORCIST, with the 

high voltage shock of ROSEMARY’S BABY.” In a later paragraph (in a fit of 

understatement), he writes: “We think CARRIE and Stephen King have a 

bright future...”

Series, Plus The Little Sisters of Eluria and The Wind Through the 

Keyhole. Signed and Matching Numbered Set, including: The Waste 

Lands. 1991. Wizard and Glass. 1997. Wolves of the Calla. 2003. 

Song of Susannah. 2004. The Dark Tower. 2004. The Little Sisters of 

Eluria. 2008. and The Wind Through the Keyhole. 2012. West Kingston, 

Rhode Island: Donald M. Grant Publisher Inc., [1982 - 2012]. First editions, 

signed limited editions, all numbered 214 from limitation totals 

ranging from 1,250 to 1,500 copies. Each book has been signed 

by King, and by the artist that illustrated that book in the series: 

Ned Dameron, Dave McKean, Bernie Wrightson, Darrel Anderson 

and Jae Lee. Ten octavo volumes. All books in this Dark Tower collection 

are in the original cloth-covered slipcases and dust jackets, and are in 

fine condition. 

Roland of Gilead’s long march to the Dark Tower began in 1970, when 

University of Maine undergraduate Stephen King wrote the first few 

chapters of what many consider to be his greatest and most influential 

work. For the next quarter century, King crafted his dramatic tale, taking 

inspiration from all points of the compass. Robert Browning’s narrative 

poem Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came provided King with 

a central motif and a name for his tough-as-boot-leather protagonist. 

Other influences include J.R.R. Tolkien, L. Frank Baum, Clifford D. Simak 

and the work of filmmakers such as John Sturges, Akira Kurosawa and, 

most importantly, Sergio Leone. Leone’s sprawling spaghetti western 

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, created the template for Roland - a 

distinctly Clint Eastwood-like figure - and for the alternately brutal and 

beautiful landscape through which he travels. 

It is not too far a stretch to call The Dark Tower the modern era’s epic tale 

- our contemporary version of The Odyssey, so to speak. As author and 

literary critic Bill Sheehan notes: “The Dark Tower is a humane, visionary 

epic and a true magnum opus. It will be around for a very long time.”

An Amazing Peek into the Publication Process of 

the Modern Master of Horror 

The First English Edition of The Shining - Inscribed 

by Stephen King 

45335 Stephen King. The Shining. [London]: New English Library, 

[1977]. First English edition. Presentation copy, inscribed by King 

on the front free endpaper: “For Marla-/Withall best wishes,/ 

Stephen King/9/24/80./[flourish]”. Octavo. [viii], 447, [1, blank] pages.

and bumping to jacket and binding near spine. Still, a near fine 

copy. It is unusual to find English editions of King’s books inscribed by 

him. 


Inscribed by Stephen King 

45334 Stephen King’s Galley and Typed Manuscript for The Plant. 

Nothing says Christmas like a Stephen King yarn! If you were a friend of 

King’s in the early 1980s, you may have gone to the mailbox one chilly, 

grey December afternoon to find a copy of The Plant in your mailbox. 

King sent the story in three separate installments between 1982 and 

1985 as a Christmas card to his closest friends. The installments, each 

of 226 copies (200 numbered and 26 lettered editions), were self-published 

through King’s Philtrum Press. In 2000, King re-released the story 

as an inexpensive Internet download, which people could pay for with 

a credit card or with a promise to send a check. King quickly suspended 

access to the downloadable version after the fifth installment due to 

widespread non-payment. Asked if he ever intends to finish the story, 

King says that “time will tell.” Individual volumes of the original release 

of The Plant often sell for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. Rarer still 

is this lot, consisting of pre-publication corrected versions of the second 

and third installments of King’s private masterpiece. 

Galley Proof for Part Two of The Plant. Includes title page and pages 

Gal.1-8, Gal.10-17, no page Gal.9, (7.5” x 25”), folded, with handwritten 

annotations by Stephen King. Three annotations in pencil, one stating, 

“GALLEY PROOF ANNOTATIONS BY S.K..” Five annotations in black 

pen, three signed “Steve.” This proof is in very good condition, despite 

the folds. 

Photocopy of the Original Typescript for Part Three of The Plant, 

with original handwritten editorial annotations by King in pencil 

and green, blue, red, black, violet, and orange ink throughout. 

Included are pages 1-49 & 51-56, no page 50, plus the colophon and a 

photocopy of the corrected titlepage. Overall, this typescript is in very 

good condition, a real one-of-a-kind find from the modern era’s darkhearted 

answer to Charles Dickens. 


45336 Stephen King. The Shining. Garden City: Doubleday & 

Company, 1977. First edition. Presentation copy, inscribed by King

gilt, original green silk covered clamshell case. Fine. 


One of Twenty-Six Lettered Copies 

Signed by Dean Koontz 

45343 John Le Carré [Pseudonym 

for David Cornwell]. Four Typescript 

Pages with His Manuscript 

Corrections. [N.p., n.d., ca. 1968]. 

Four quarto leaves, rectos only. 

Approximately 11 x 8.5 inches. On plain 

typing paper. Each page with editing 

and notes, some extensive. Minor toning, two leaves neatly trimmed at 

upper left corner, else fine. 

From the provenance letter (accompanying this lot), the previous owner 

states that “The accompanying four pages of novel typescript with 

annotation and correction were given to me in 1968 by David 

Cornwell (“John Le Carré”) when he was visiting Prince of Wales 

College (Charlottetown, P. E. I. Canada) and was my guest there for 

several days. My understanding was that these pages were from an 

earlier draft of the novel he was then working on - perhaps A Small 

Town in Germany or The Naïve and Sentimental Lover. Le Carré was 

on a Canada Council tour of Canada and we at P. W. C. were his first 

audience and hosts.” 


H. P. Lovecraft’s The Shunned House - the Rarest 

Arkham House Book 

45342 Dean Koontz. The Good Guy. New York: Charnel House, 

2007. One of 26 lettered copies of which this is letter “O.” Signed 

by Koontz on the limitation page. Quarto. 449 pages. Publisher’s half 

green levant morocco over green silk boards, spine lettered in gilt, publisher’s 

morocco-tipped green silk slipcase. Fine. 


45344 H. P. Lovecraft. The Shunned House. With a Preface by Frank 

Belknap Long, Jr. Recluse Press: Athol, Mass., 1928. First edition, one of 

a supposed edition of only 300 copies. Octavo. [59], [1, blank] pages. 

Complete in eight unbound gatherings (the first seven gatherings have 

eight pages each, the final gathering has four). Printed on paper watermarked 

‘Canterbury Laid,’ as issued. This copy has the cancel copyright 

notice on the copyright page; our copy is Currey’s priority B. Some toning 

to gatherings, some edge soiling to gatherings, final gathering with 

edge soiling and a few small chips missing. Overall, a near fine copy of 

this rare item. Housed in later clamshell box. 

This small volume constitutes the rarest volume in the Arkham House 

canon, though one can argue that this is not a true Arkham House title 

at all. In 1928, W. Paul Cook printed approximately 300 unbound sets 

of The Shunned House for The Recluse Press. At the time, Lovecraft’s 

reputation as a writer of weird fiction did not translate into book sales; 

he barely stamped out a living publishing in the pulp magazines of 

the time. The unbound copies of this very book sat largely unsold until 

Arkham House began moving them in the early 1950s. Arkham bound 

the final 100 sets in black cloth in 1961.

Lensman is a super-virtuous male or female chosen by the agents of 

cosmic goodness in the universe to have his virtues magnified and augmented 

with a ‘ruby lens.’ The lensmen become the balance of power 

against forces of cosmic evil. On the greatest battlefields, employing the 

most violent weapons, the lensmen fight the most ferocious of all wars.”

to Orwell’s 1984) he supplied for this book, which appears on the 

rear jacket panel. An excellent association. From the collection of I.D. 

“Nash” Flores III.

binding, hinges just barely starting. Skewed. Still, a near fine copy of a 

very rare book. One of no more than 718 or so copies printed of the first 

issue of the first edition (there was a total of 1,500 copies printed of the

Gravelot, and 110 plates, and ninety-seven tail-pieces after Gravelot,

by Gravelot, and this remains arguably his finest effort. Bound 

in full contemporary calf with later morocco red and green spine labels. 

Spines elaborately gilt in compartments; boards with gilt rules and 

corner devices and all edges gilt. The surface of the calf is flaked and 

the tips are rubbed, else a bright, solid set. The engravings are bright

Each volume with the label of bookseller Matthias Fontaine and an engraved 

armorial bookplate on the front pastedown. An unusually fresh 

set and a milestone in French eighteenth-century engraving.

The Very Rare First Edition of Kate Chopin’s 

Feminist Cornerstone, The Awakening 

Five First Editions Signed by Pat Conroy

S. Stone & Company, 1899. First edition. Octavo. [4, blank], [iv], [305], [1,

heavily browned and soiled, some rubbing and wear to binding, front

thumbsoiling. Fair. Very rare in any condition. 

Due to the frank and open nature of this novel, the sexual and emotional 

awakening of a young woman, this book was condemned by the 

reviewers of the time. This reaction probably influenced the publisher 

to decline any further printings of this book. Since that time, it has 

become a classic, and is considered a precursor to modern American 

feminist writing.

Autograph Letter Signed by Dickens

French-folded pages. Publisher’s original string-bound printed wrappers. 

This copy with a plain brown protective wrapper (it is unclear if it 

was issued by the publisher, but it appears to be of the same vintage 

of the book itself). Some wear and chipping to plain brown wrapper; 

someone has traced (in pencil) the artwork from the front cover of the 

wrapper onto the front cover of the plain brown wrapper. The book is 

mildly toned and rubbed, still, fine. A very nice copy of a very rare item; 

as best as we can tell, this is the first auction appearance of this title. The 

work is Mrs. Davis’ version of a Huron Indian children’s tale. 

Varina Banks Howell Davis (1826-1906) was the second wife of 

Confederacy President Jefferson Davis, and was the First Lady of the 

Confederacy during the Civil War. She was highly educated and was a 

talented writer (she finished her husband’s memoirs after his death, and 

she wrote a regular column for the New York World after the end of the 

Civil War). She also worked to reconcile the North and the South in the 

late nineteenth-century.

drawing is signed by him. The collection is divided into five separate titles by 

Dickens (one title is in two parts with separate title-pages and character lists), each 

with its own manuscript title-page and manuscript list of characters, both in colors 

(not counted as part of the character drawings). Each sheet approximately 11.25 

x 8.75 inches, with the illustrations generally 7 x 4.5 inches. Very light rubbing to 

edges of drawings. Fine. Housed in a series of six chemises and slipcases with red

An Incredible Collection of 649 Original Drawings by “Kyd” of Characters from Dickens 

45385 “Kyd” [Joseph Clayton Clarke, 1857-1937]. A Series of 649 Original 

Character-Studies illustrating the Works of Charles Dickens. Drawn in colours by “Kyd”. 

[London:] 1885-1889. 649 original pen, ink and watercolor drawings of Dickensian 

characters (including the general title-page, which also features characters in 

full color). Each drawing is signed by him. The collection is divided into separate 

titles by Dickens, each with its own manuscript title-page and manuscript list of

approximately 11 x 10 inches, with the illustrations generally 6 x 4 inches. On thick paper. 

Fine. Housed in a series of six chemises and clamshell cases. Manuscript count of 

entire collection affixed to inside front case of the first case. 

“Kyd’s” artwork reflects the flamboyant aspects of the characters depicted; the humorous 

characters seem funnier, the romantic characters seem more airy, the villains seem 

scarier, etc. Although collections of “Kyd’s” watercolor drawings of Dickensian characters 

have sold at auction, this is possibly the largest single collection ever offered 

(this collection is even larger than the one acquired by the British Museum in 

1910, which had 598 drawings).

A Complete Run of McSweeney’s Quarterly Literary Journal 

45391 [Literary Journal]. [Dave Eggers, Michael Chabon, Gary Painter, Jonathan Franzen, Roddy Doyle, et. al., contributors]. Timothy 

McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern. San Francisco: McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, 1998-2014. Complete run of this journal from Sampler No. 1 (1998, 

issued prior to the first issue) to issue 46 (2014). Together, with variants and duplicates, fifty-five issues (mainly octavos). Original publisher’s bindings 

(some in wrappers, some in boards, several in special custom bindings - all as issued). Several early issues signed by Dave Eggers, contributor and 

editor of earlier issues (he has signed or inscribed fifteen times, with three of these including original drawings), Michael Chabon has signed 

twice, and Gary Painter has signed one with an original drawing. All issues are as issued, with those issues requiring ephemera, discs, or booklets 

having those items present. Issue 2 has two copies, issue 5 has four copies, each with a different variant dust jacket, issue 10 has two copies (one the 

original McSweeney with the chair logo on the spine, and the other the Vintage reprint signed by Michael Chabon), issue 14 has two copies, issues 41, 

43, and 45 all have two copies. Issues 16, 17 (portion of this issue), and one issue of 43 are in original shrinkwrap. A few issues have some minor rubbing, 

but generally a fine set. 

McSweeney’s was originally begun with the aim to only publish works rejected by other magazines or publishers. As McSweeney’s flourished, however, 

that rule was soon abandoned, as established authors began submitting to them as a first choice. McSweeney’s also became an important outlet 

for new and previously unpublished writers. Some issues have a traditional design (two covers and pages), while many are unique and unusual (for 

example, issue 28 is eight small books in a puzzle-tray configuration, issue 36 is a box designed to look like a man’s head, issue 17 is a bundle of items 

“Made to look like it came in your mailbox,” etc.) This collection does not include the two volumes of The Better of McSweeney’s, not generally considered 

to be part of the Quarterly. From the collection of I.D. “Nash” Flores III.

A Remarkable and Candid Correspondence Archive between Cormac McCarthy 

and Fellow Author, John Fergus Ryan 


45418 Cormac McCarthy. Correspondence Archive between McCarthy and Fellow Tennessee Author, John Fergus Ryan. This amazing archive 

contains fairly regular correspondence between 1976 and late-1985 or early-1986. The contents include: eleven original Autograph Letters 

Signed from McCarthy to Ryan (totaling twenty-two pages in McCarthy’s hand), six original Typed Letters Signed from McCarthy to Ryan, and twentysix 

carbon copies or photocopies of Ryan’s correspondence to McCarthy. Each leaf of the letters is stored in an archival sleeve, and the entire contents 

is housed in chronological order in an archival storage box. 

The first Autograph Letter Signed by McCarthy, his introductory reply to Ryan’s first letter, is signed “Cormac McCarthy.” The remainder of the letters 

are simply signed, “Cormac.” McCarthy’s letters, as far as can be gleaned from textual references, emanate from Knoxville, Lexington, New Orleans, El 

Paso, Santa Fe, and Chihuahua, Mexico. Most are executed on simple writing or typing paper, with two letters from McCarthy on slightly smaller paper 

(one later letter, the one from Chihuahua, is written on hotel stationery). 

Ryan begins the correspondence by congratulating McCarthy on his recent Guggenheim Fellowship, which McCarthy had won back in 1969 (in a later 

letter, Ryan also congratulates McCarthy on a MacArthur Fellowship, which the latter won in 1981). Overall, the two exchange what is mostly a very 

cordial, friendly, and informal correspondence, with occasional ribald exchanges of jokes and innuendo (including a smattering of racially-charged 

humor). 

In general, the two men write to each other of their attempts at publication and the state of publishing (Ryan much more than McCarthy), their dayjobs, 

their wives, a shared love of classical music, movies (McCarthy makes a couple of references to film adaptations of his books The Gardener’s Son 

and Outer Dark, and the two discuss or mention Sam Peckinpah, John Huston, and Orson Welles, among others), books and authors (among the authors 

they talk about are, to varying degrees, Henry Miller, John Rechy, John Gardener, Robert Bloch, Nikki Giovanni, William S. Burroughs, and James 

Agee), various vacations and other travels. 

The two men correspond frequently about McCarthy’s friend (and later their mutual friend), John Sheddan. McCarthy, regarding Sheddan: “Last saw 

him in the company of a 17 year old hooker and junkie who was having some misunderstanding with the local constabulary over a $20 bill which 

seemed to be bleeding ink.” Later, reporting the latest misfortunes in the outlaw life of Sheddan, McCarthy writes, “Lord Sheddan has suffered a considerable 

fall from Grace, being a municipal guest...[for] binloads of warrants from a number of counties. Forging prescriptions, selling drugs, using 

stolen credit cards, etc etc. He had on his person when apprehended a credit card belonging to the county court clerk in Knoxville, a lady who had 

lost the same to a strongarmed bandit in broad daylight a few weeks previous.” 

At one point, Ryan is applying for his own Guggenheim Fellowship, and asks to list McCarthy as a reference. McCarthy heartily agrees, saying, “By all 

means put me down as a reference with the Fellowship people. I don’t know as I carry any particular weight in that quarter, but feel free to use my 

name as you see fit.” McCarthy then asks in a separate letter how Ryan came to get Henry Miller as an additional Guggenheim reference, saying that “I 

love that old man; he’s largely responsible for me becoming a writer.” 

Later, in a short Typed Letter Signed from early 1978, McCarthy writes that his “long novel is going to the printers, they assure me, in a couple of 

weeks, but it wont make the fall list, which means it will appear in January ‘78 [actually 1979, and likely a typo by McCarthy].” Here, McCarthy is referring 

to Suttree, his 1979 semi-autobiographical novel described by the Times Literary Supplement as “Faulknerian in its gentle wryness, and [with] a 

freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery O’Connor.” 

In a letter from circa 1979, McCarthy bemoans the current state of publishing: “I think the country is running out of outlets for writers. If the magazines 

stop publishing fiction, as they just about have, can the book publishers be far behind...There is no reason to assume that literature - and almost 

any definition will do here - will continue to exist. So-called serious fiction is rapidly going the way of modern poetry. All you have to do is read 

the gobbledygook that is published in the quarterlies. As the markets dry up only the lunatic fringe will continue in the business.” 

Later, in a letter from 1980, McCarthy says that he “hope[s] to finish the ‘western’ by the end of the year...There is an excerpt in the latest Tri-Quarterly...” 

Here, McCarthy is referring to his seminal novel, Blood Meridian. A portion of the novel, titled “The Scalphunters,” appeared in TriQuarterly 48 in 1980, 

the first appearance of any part of Blood Meridian in any published form. “The Scalphunters” would end up as chapter 14 of the finished novel upon 

its eventual publication in 1985, with significant textual variations from its appearance in this periodical. 

McCarthy’s last letter is yet another cordial response to Ryan, in which McCarthy congratulates Ryan on a novel and play, hoping that Ryan “would become 

rich and famous.” Then, McCarthy’s last words, and the last words of the correspondence, ring eloquently, in true writer’s style: “All is well here. 

Work progresses slowly - as always.” 

This amazing archive will serve as a wealth of information for any potential student, especially biographer, of McCarthy and his work. We have not 

cataloged, even remotely, the full extent of the biographical tidbits and potential gold mine of information to be found herein, since we feel the lion’s 

share of the surprises and the wealth of the information should be reserved for the winning bidder to disseminate. Suffice to say, there is much more 

to learn from McCarthy in this correspondence. 

This is likely to be the largest, longest-running, and most comprehensive archive of McCarthy’s letters ever to come to auction, certainly to one correspondent. 

It is especially interesting since Ryan kept copies of his own letters, so that we can know what McCarthy was responding to on his side of 

the correspondence. 

John Fergus Ryan was a humorist, playwright, and author from Tennessee. His most notable work is The Redneck Bride, a humorous novel published 

by August House in 1982. This archive was a prescient move by Ryan - to keep copies of his own letters, and the originals from McCarthy. He must 

have suspected he was corresponding with a famous writer whose legacy he may want to document, but even he would likely be surprised at the 

hallowed place McCarthy now holds in American letters.

Gibson’s article, Knoxvillian Buzz Kelley writes that Sheddan was “probably

in gold, green, and red, and black, red, gold, and orange rules on all four sides, with an outer black rule border near the edge of the page. Some 

pages with text written diagonally, the resulting triangular spaces filled with floral decoration in gold, green, and red. 

Recto of first leaf with a circular gold medallion outlined in black; verso of first leaf and recto of second leaf with a richly illuminated hand-painted 

double-page frontispiece in gold and dark blue, with minute floral decoration, and rules and outlines in green, orange, red, light blue, and white, the 

central rectangular panels containing the opening verses in double columns of six lines within cloud bands on a gold ground. Sixty-five beautifully 

illuminated hand-painted miniatures illustrating the text, all but one with tissue guards. Each miniature with at least one line of text above and below 

(some with as many as five above and two below). Catchwords written obliquely on the verso of each leaf across the border. 

In its original hand-painted lacquered papier-maché binding with red leather spine and corners. Covers with an all-overall floral design in gilt and 

colors on a black ground with a central scalloped medallion and pendants and cornerpieces with floral decoration on a gold ground. Doublures with 

a flowering tree in orange and red on a red ground. The binding is worn and cracked in places, with some areas of surface loss; hinges reinforced, but 

cracked. 

The first leaf is quite soiled and worn, remargined at the lower edge, and possibly reinserted; second leaf also soiled, with the corners extended; fol. 

[9] (with the miniature on the verso of the Mi’raj or night ride of the Prophet Muhammad to heaven) extended at the lower margin and upper outer 

margin; several additional leaves with tiny marginal tears or repairs. Considerable thumbsoiling from heavy use, especially to the lower corners; some 

edge browning and light fraying; several leaves with ink spot or smudges; a few leaves with small stains or water spotting; occasional dampstaining, 

mostly at the edges. The pigment is rubbed or flaking on a few of the miniatures; there is bleedthrough from the green pigment in some miniatures 

to the opposite page. One tissue guard with a two-inch tear from the lower edge; two tissue guards with ink tracings from the miniatures. Recto of 

the first leaf with an ink inscription and two faint ownership seals. 

This manuscript is notable for its large number of miniatures and the unusually large amount of gilt decoration, and its sumptuous appearance 

suggests that it was made for a wealthy patron rather than for the commercial market (possibly a Hindu artist or patron, as Krishna is depicted in 

Zulaykha’s palace). The miniatures accompanying the text are intricate and include repeated recognizable compositions and stock figures that become 

as familiar to the reader as the verses themselves, including: Yusuf’s eleven brothers plotting against him (fol. 69v); Yusuf being rescued from 

the well (fol. 78r); Zulaykha having her legs chained by her maids after her second vision of Yusuf (fol. 42v); Zulaykha, peeking through a hole in her 

tent, discovering that the Vizier is not Yusuf (fol. 57r); Zulaykha’s palace, with six rooms painted with scenes of Yusuf and Zulaykha embracing (fol. 

118r); the women of Egypt, overcome by the beauty of Yusuf, cutting their fingers instead of the oranges they are peeling (fol. 140r); the King of Egypt 

dreaming of seven fat and seven cows (fol. 160r); Zulaykha, aged with grief, approaching Yusuf as he rides by (fol. 176r); the angel Jibra’il (Gabriel) giving 

Yusuf an apple from the garden of Eden to let him know that it is time for him to die (fol. 190r). 

The miniatures appear to be the work of more than one artist, with some not as finely executed as most. This fragile manuscript is an excellent example 

of a Persian manuscript executed in Kashmir in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, and it is in remarkable condition, for having 

been so heavily used. 

Yusuf and Zulaykha is a retelling of the Biblical story of Joseph, who is sold into slavery and resists the seductive approaches of the wife of his master, 

Potiphar. The story appears in the Qur’an as Surat Yusuf, where it is introduced as “the most beautiful of stories.” Jami’s Yusuf and Zulaykha (1484) is 

considered the masterpiece of his Haft Awrang (Seven Thrones or Constellation of the Great Bear), a compilation of seven poems in masnavi form, and 

it is also the most frequently illustrated of the seven poems. Considered one of the greatest mystical love stories in Islamic literature, Jami’s Yusuf and 

Zulaykha is the most popular of the many Persian adaptations of this classic story.

A Very Popular and Important Anthology of 

American Poetry 

Three Different First, or Pre-Publication, Editions 

of Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow 

45453 Thomas Pynchon. Gravity’s Rainbow. New York: The Viking 

Press, [1973]. First edition, hardcover issue. Octavo. [vi], 760, [2, blank] 

pages. Publisher’s full orange cloth, front board stamped in blind, spine 

lettered in red, dust jacket. Some rubbing to jacket and binding, but 

jacket spine still vibrant. A fine copy. [Together With:]. Another Copy. 

First edition, paperback issue. Octavo. [vi], 760, [2, blank] pages. 

Original publisher’s wrappers. Mild creasing to spine, light rubbing 

to wrappers and text. A bright, fine copy. Hardcover and paperback 

issues were published simultaneously. [Together With:] Another 

Copy. Unrevised proofs. [N.d., ca. 1972]. Octavo. [xii], 760, [4, blank] 

pages. Publisher’s plain printed blue wrappers. Spine a bit sunned, 

binding rubbed, with some minor wear and soiling, tape or sticker residue 

at lower edge of wrappers, occasional pencil markings throughout 

in an unknown hand. A near fine example of a rare book. Overall, an 

excellent collection. From the collection of I.D. “Nash” Flores III. 


45452 [Edgar Allan Poe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Clement 

C. Moore, Francis Scott Key, et. al. contributors] . [Rufus W. Griswold, 

editor]. The Poets and Poetry of America. Philadelphia: Carey and Hart, 

1842. First edition of this important anthology of American poetry, the 

finest up to then. Octavo. xxiv, 468 pages. With engraved frontispiece 

and title-page inserted at front. Bound in a beautiful contemporary 

binding of full brown calf, boards ruled in gilt, multi-colored gilt floral 

leather onlays on covers, spine with decorative gilt (leather labels now 

missing), gilt board edges and turn-ins, blue watered silk endleaves, all 

edges gilt. Binding quite worn and soiled, front board nearly detached, 

binder’s blanks quite foxed, text and inserted prelims somewhat foxed. 

Still, a fair copy of this important book, with early book appearances by 

Poe, Longfellow, Clement C. Moore, and a book appearance of the “Star 

Spangled Banner”. 

Griswold (1815-1857) was a well-respected, though not well-liked, 

literary critic, famous for his excellent scholarship and his acerbic personality. 

Although this is considered one of the finest anthologies of 

American poetry, Griswold was criticized for his choices for inclusion - 

setting off many feuds, most notably with Edgar Allan Poe, which would 

last both of their lifetimes (even after Poe’s death, Griswold masqueraded 

as Poe’s executor, finding further opportunities of maligning Poe’s 

reputation, until his own death).

Author Tim O’Brien 

45479 John Updike. The Poorhouse Fair. New York: Alfred A. 

Knopf, 1959. First edition of his first novel. Review copy, with the New 

York Times Book Review slip laid-in, and the ownership signature of 

the book critic, Donald Barr. Octavo. [vi], [187] pages. Publisher’s rust 

cloth backstrip over blue-gray paper boards, front board lettered in 

silver, rear board stamped in blind, spine lettered in silver and gilt, 

dust jacket. Jacket with a large tear and chip to the front panel, a few 

additional chips and shorter tears. Still, good. [Together With:]. John 

Updike. Typed Letter Signed. New York: Jan 12 [1959]. On The New 

Yorker magazine stationery. Approximately 7 x 4.75 inches. One horizontal 

crease, some toning, else fine. 

“Dear Mr. Barr: It is probably indelicate for a writer to thank a reviewer, 

but your appraisal of the Poorhouse Fair was so generous, your treatment 

was so much better than the short and willful novel of a virtual 

unknown dares expect, that I would be ungenerous if I failed to admit 

how happy it made me. After this courtly but sincere sentence, I 

hasten to add that, the stationary [sic] to the contrary, I do not longer 

work for the NYer - not that I wouldn’t be the first to admit it if I did. 

John Updike [signature]”. With the original mailing envelope. From the 

collection of Alexander J. Jemal, Jr. 

As Updike writes, it is unusual for a writer to thank a critic for their review, 

making this delightful letter somewhat unique. It is certainly an 

interesting artifact from the early career of one of the most successful 

American writers of the latter-half of the twentieth century. Donald 

Barr (1921-2004) was a respected educator, headmaster, and writer 

on various subjects (including science fiction).

Auction Venues: 

3. The following Auctions are conducted solely on the Internet: Heritage Weekly Internet Auctions 

(Coin, Currency, Comics, Rare Books, Jewelry & Watches, Guitars & Musical Instruments, and 

Vintage Movie Posters); Heritage Monthly Internet Auctions (Sports, World Coins and Rare Wine). 

Signature® Auctions and Grand Format Auctions accept bids from the Internet, telephone, fax, or 

mail first, followed by a floor bidding session; HeritageLive! and real- time telephone bidding are 

available to registered clients during these auctions. 

Bidders: 

4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these 

Terms and Conditions of Auction (“Bidder(s)”). 

5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneer’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good 

standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneer’s sole option and will not be awarded 

lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time 

prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any 

person from the auction. 

6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally 

guarantee payment for any successful bid. 

Credit: 

7. In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either 

furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or 

supply valid credit card information along with a social security number, well in advance of the 

Auction. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program will only be accepted from preregistered 

Bidders. Bidders who are not members of HA.com or affiliates should preregister at least 

48 hours before the start of the first session (exclusive of holidays or weekends) to allow adequate 

time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally 

Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established 

credit history may be required to provide their social security number or the last four digits thereof 

so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneer’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing 

privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit 

based on a combination of criteria: HA.com history, related industry references, bank verification, 

a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance 

of the auction venue. 

Bidding Options: 

8. Bids in Signature ® Auctions or Grand Format Auctions may be placed as set forth in the printed 

catalog section entitled “Choose your bidding method.” For auctions held solely on the Internet, 

see the alternatives on HA.com. Review at http://www.ha.com/c/ref/web-tips.zx#biddingTutorial. 

9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail 

bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment (called 

a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment 

will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised amount will be 

considered your high bid. 

10. Auctioneer’s Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in 

bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids are 

submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written 

bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneer’s place 

of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for 

executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids 

submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of 

bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. Bids 

placed electronically via the internet may not be withdrawn until your written request is received 

and acknowledged by Auctioneer (FAX: 214-409-1425); such requests must state the reason, and 

may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be 

delivered at the Auction unless prearranged. 

11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest 

amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be 

any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between 

increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: “How can I lose by less 

than an increment” on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” 

or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. 

The following chart governs current bidding increments for Signature auctions; Internet-only 

auction bidding increments are approximately half of these amounts 

(see HA.com/c/ref/web-tips.zx#guidelines-increments).

>$10,000,000........................... $500,000 

12. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a bid at half 

of the increment (“Cut Bid”) only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, bidders may continue 

to participate only at full increments. Off-increment bids may be accepted by the Auctioneer at 

Signature® Auctions and Grand Format Auctions. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the 

expected increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids. 

Conducting the Auction: 

13. Notice of the consignor’s liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in accordance 

with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A “Minimum Bid” is an amount below 

which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE WRITTEN ”Minimum 

Bids” ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS, IF THE HAMMER PRICE 

DOES NOT MEET THE “Minimum Bid”, THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY A REDUCED COMMISSION 

ON THOSE LOTS. ”Minimum Bids” are generally posted online several days prior to the Auction 

closing. For any successful bid placed by a consignor on his Property on the Auction floor, or by any 

means during the live session, or after the ”Minimum Bid” for an Auction have been posted, we will 

require the consignor to pay full Buyer’s Premium and Seller’s Commissions on such lot. 

14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, 

the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any Bidders at an 

Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneer’s decision and declaration 

of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether 

by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such 

cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of 

whether a competing bid may have been higher. Auctioneer reserves the right after the hammer fall 

to accept bids and reopen bidding for bids placed through the Internet or otherwise. 

15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in its sole 

discretion. A bid is considered not made in “Good Faith” when made by an insolvent or irresponsible 

person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory credit, collectibles 

references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid by a consignor or his 

agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in “Good Faith.” Any person apparently 

appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid. 

16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids, or 

very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 40–60% of the low estimate, the 

Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor. 

17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer’s discretion (approximately 50%-60% of 

the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass 

as unsold. 

18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken. Auctioneer 

reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction. 

19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty, 

disputed ownership, auctioneer’s clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for 

any other reason and in Auctioneer’s sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s election 

to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and 

buyer’s premium) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot. 

20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer 

periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which 

Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend 

bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to 

contact Client Services at 877-HERITAGE (437-4824). 

21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may 

bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any 

such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its 

affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors. 

22. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots 

shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such 

sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. 

Payment: 

23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier 

checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, and are subject to all reporting 

requirements). All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in Auctioneer’s account 

before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. Auctioneer 

reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are 

subject to a ten business day hold, and thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Clients 

with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via eCheck, personal, or 

corporate checks. All others will be subject to a hold of 5 days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to 

releasing merchandise. (Ref. T&C item 7 Credit for additional information.) Payments can be made 

24-48 hours post auction from the My Orders page of the HA.com website. 

24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer 

reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7 days after the close 

of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s election to void a sale does not relieve the 

Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premium) on the lot and 

any other damages pertaining to the lot or Auctioneer, at its option, may charge a twenty (20%) 

restock fee on the amount of the purchase and offset the restock fee against any monies paid to the 

Auctioneer or against any of the purchaser’s properties held by the Auctioneer. 

25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative in the States of Texas, California, New York, or other 

states where the Auction may be held, are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless 

appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. (Note: Coins are only subject to sales tax in 

California on invoices under $1,500, and there is no sales tax on coins in Texas.) Bidder agrees to 

pay Auctioneer the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected 

due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect 

interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate 

must be on file at and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction, or tax must be paid; only if 

such form or certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax 

paid be made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.

difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and the net

seller’s commissions, if sold at an Auctioneer’s auction.

30. Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the buyer to secure payment of 

the Auction invoice. Auctioneer is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any 

other property of the buyer then held by the Auctioneer or its affiliates to secure payment of any 

Auction invoice or any other amounts due the Auctioneer or affiliates from the buyer. With respect 

to these lien rights, Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of the 

Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale (including a 15% 

seller’s commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). In addition, with respect 

to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the buyer waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise 

have against the Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice. If a 

Bidder owes Auctioneer or its affiliates on any account, Auctioneer and its affiliates shall have the 

right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory 

lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.. 

31. Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility 

of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a 

common carrier or third-party shipper.

32. Buyer is liable for shipping, handling, registration, and renewal fees, if any. Please refer to Auctioneer’s 

website www.HA.com/common/shipping.php for the latest charges or call Auctioneer. Auctioneer is 

unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. 

Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the 

merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment 

occurs. Buyer agrees that Service and Handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid 

may be charged to the credit card on file with Auctioneer. 

33. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified 

customs declarations, to the Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. 

NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price together with its buyer’s premium and 

Auctioneer shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Buyers on lots designated for 

third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping 

costs. 

34. All shipping charges will be borne by the successful Bidder. On all domestic shipments, any risk of loss 

during shipment will be borne by Heritage until the shipping carrier’s confirmation of delivery to the 

address of record in Auctioneer’s file (carrier’s confirmation is conclusive to prove delivery to Bidder; 

if the client has a Signature release on file with the carrier, the package is considered delivered without 

Signature) or delivery by Heritage to Bidder’s selected third-party shipper. On all foreign shipments, 

any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by the Bidder following Auctioneer’s delivery to the 

Bidder’s designated common carrier or third-party shipper. 

35. Due to the nature of some items sold, it shall be the responsibility for the successful Bidder to arrange 

pick-up and shipping through third-parties; as to such items Auctioneer shall have no liability. 

Failure to pick-up or arrange shipping in a timely fashion (within ten days) shall subject Lots to 

storage and moving charges, including a $100 administration fee plus $10 daily storage for larger 

items and $5.00 daily for smaller items (storage fee per item) after 35 days. In the event the Lot is 

not removed within ninety days, the Lot may be offered for sale to recover any past due storage or 

moving fees, including a 10% Seller’s Commission. 

36A. The laws of various countries regulate the import or export of certain plant and animal properties, 

including (but not limited to) items made of (or including) ivory, whalebone, turtle shell, coral, 

crocodile, or other wildlife. Transport of such lots may require special licenses for export, import, or 

both. Bidder is responsible for: 1) obtaining all information on such restricted items for both export 

and import; 2) obtaining all such licenses and/or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any such license 

or permit does not relieve the buyer of timely compliance with standard payment terms. For further 

information, please contact Ron Brackemyre at 800- 872-6467 ext. 1312. 

36B. Auctioneer shall not be liable for any loss caused by or resulting from:

Additional Terms & Conditions: 

MEMORABILIA & Historical AUCTIONS 

MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM A: Signature ® and Grand Format Auctions of Autographs, 

Sports Collectibles, Music, Entertainment, Political, Americana, Vintage Movie Posters and 

Pop Culture memorabilia are not on approval. When the lot is accompanied by a Certificate of 

Authenticity (or its equivalent) from an third-party authentication provider, buyer has no right 

of return. On lots not accompanied by third-party authentication or under extremely limited 

circumstances not including authenticity (e.g. gross cataloging error), a purchaser who did not 

bid from the floor may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made 

in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to Auctioneer must be preapproved 

by Auctioneer. A Bidder must notify the appropriate department head (check the inside 

front cover of the catalog or our website for a listing of department heads) in writing of the Bidder’s 

request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidder’s receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be 

evaluated for return must be received in our offices within 35 days after Auction. AFTER THAT 35 

DAY PERIOD, NO LOT MAY BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASONS. Lots returned must be in the 

same condition as when sold and must include any Certificate of Authenticity. No lots purchased by 

floor bidders (including those bidders acting as agents for others) may be returned. Late remittance 

for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. 


MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM C: As authenticity and provenance are not warranted, if 

a Bidder intends to challenge, authenticity or provenance of a lot he must notify Auctioneer in 

writing within thirty-five (35) days of the Auction’s conclusion. Any claim as to provenance or 

authenticity must be first transmitted to Auctioneer by credible and definitive evidence or the 

opine of a qualified third party expert and there is no assurance after such presentment that 

Auctioneer will validate the claim. Authentication is not an exact science and contrary opinions 

may not be recognized by Auctioneer. Even if Auctioneer agrees with the contrary opinion of such 

authentication and validates the claim, Auctioneer’s liability for reimbursement for any opine by 

Bidder’s expert shall not exceed $500. Acceptance of a claim under this provision shall be limited 

to rescission of the sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneer’s maximum 

liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the 

lot. While every effort is made to determine provenance and authenticity, it is the responsibility of 

the Bidder to arrive at their own conclusion prior to bidding. 

MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM D: In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or 

subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, 

Auctioneer’s liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case 

shall Auctioneer’s maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed 

for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed from the close of the Auction, 

Auctioneer’s maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned 

on that lot. 

MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM B: On any lot presented with a Letter of Authenticity 

(“LOA”) issued by Auctioneer or its Heritage affiliates, that warranty inures only to the original 

purchaser (as shown in Auctioneer’s records) “Purchaser”. Purchaser may not transfer the rights 

afforded under the LOA and it is null and void when Purchaser transfers or attempts to transfer 

the lot. The LOA warranty is valid from date of the auction in which Purchaser was awarded 

the lot to four (4) years after its purchase. The LOA warranty is valid as to its attribution to the 

person or entity described or to the lot’s usage, e.g. game worn. Claim procedure: Purchaser must 

contact the Auctioneer prior to submission of the lot as to his intent to make a claim and arrange 

secure shipment. If a lot’s authenticity is questioned by Purchaser within the warranty period, 

Purchaser must present with the claim, authoritative written evidence that the lot is not authentic 

as determined by a known expert in the sports field. If Auctioneer concurs that the lot is not as 

represented, Purchaser shall be refunded their purchase price. If the Auctioneer denies the claim, 

the Purchaser may file the dispute with the American Arbitration Association with locale in Dallas, 

Texas, before a single arbitration under expedited rules. The LOA does not provide for incidental 

or consequential damages or other indirect damages. Any lot sold with a certificate of authenticity 

or other warranty from an entity other than Auctioneer or Heritage’s affiliates is subject to 

such issuing entity’s rules and such conditions are the sole remedy afforded to purchaser. For 

information as to third party authentication warranties the bidder is directed to: PSA/DNA, P.O. 

Box 6180 Newport Beach, CA 92658 (800) 325-1121. James Spence Authentication (JSA), 2 Sylvan 

Way, Suite 102 Parsippany, NJ 07054 (888) 457-7362; or as otherwise noted on the Certificate. 

MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM E: On the fall of Auctioneer’s hammer, buyer assumes full 

risk and responsibility for lot, including shipment by common carrier, and must provide their own 

insurance coverage for shipments. 

MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM F: Auctioneer complies with all Federal and State rules 

and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A purchaser is 

required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Purchaser is 

responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm. 

Memorabilia and Historical Term G -Screen Shot. Screen shots included in the catalog 

or on the Heritage Internet are provided for reference only. Important Notice: Many identical 

versions of props and costumes are created for film and television productions in the normal 

course of a production. Heritage does not warrant or represent that the screen shots referenced 

are exact images of the offered item (unless specifically noted in the written description). Use of a 

screen shot does not constitute a warranty or representation of authenticity or provenance. There 

is not a right of return or refund based upon a claim arising out of or pertaining to any reference 

to a screen shot. 

Special Term H - Guitars: Bidders are urged to make a personal inspection of any guitar that 

they intend to bid on as there is a limited right of return. Heritage makes a visual inspection of 

the guitars to determine whether there are patent defects and whether the date and manufacturer 

corresponds to the description. Returns are not accepted for latent defects, structural issues, or 

mechanical and sound reproduction issues. It should be assumed that set up, adjustments and 

normal maintenance are necessary. 

MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM I: Financing. Auctioneer offers various extended payment 

options to qualified pre-approved persons and companies. The options include Extended Payment 

Programs (EPP) Flexible Payment Program (FPP) and Dealer Terms. Each program has its specific 

terms and conditions and such terms and conditions are strictly enforced. Each program has to be 

executed by the purchaser. Auctioneer reserves the right to alter or deny credit and in such case 

these auction terms shall control.
