Doubleday, Doran and Co., Inc. New York. 1940. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. 8vo. (9 x 6.2 inches). Portrait frontis. Neat four line inscription from a previous owner on the front blank free endpaper, otherwise clean and bright throughout. Finely bound in early half burgundy Morocco leather. Spine with five raised bands, each with gilt piping. Compartments ruled, lettered and fully decorated in gilt. Red cloth on boards. Marbled endpapers. Top edge gilt. The binding is unsigned but is certainly the work of a master Bookbinder. --- Richards' bibliography of Kipling notes that while this book is the first American printing of several works, including The King and the sea, and styles itself as the 'Definitive edition', it omits some poems that were previously included in the Sussex and Burwash editions of the Works of Kipling.

Cherry on front flyleaf. 1927 Half-Leather. iv, 325 pp. 8vo. No binder's ticket, but appears to be a contemporary custom rebinding: blue leather spine and corners over blue cloth, gilt titles and rules, top edge gilt, new end sheets. "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them.
