London & New York: Chapman & Hall -- A.C. Armstrong and Son, 1889. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Albert Pepin. TWO VOLUMES First Edition. Mixed publisher set with volume I being the London issue and volume II being the New York issue. Nearly identical light wear pattern to both volumes with exactly the same spine tone, suggests that this was a very early pairing, if not an original pairing by the publishers. The only difference in the London and New York volume is the publisher name stamped to base of spine and the addition of "New York: A.C. Armstrong And Son" printed on the title page below the "London: Chapman And Hall". In fact, the title page of volume II for the New York issue is a cancel (meaning that it was/is a separate sheet that has been glued to a stub at the title page, the UK title page having been excised and replaced with the New York page). Cancels for title pages for UK-USA joint publications were fairly common during the period when this…

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.

London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, 1823. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. pp: [viii]ix-xii [1]2-544. FIRST EDITION. Bound in brown half-leather over marbled boards, title in gilt within a red title piece. The first edition of the author's first book.

This was his first, and it was the most popular, going through several editions. This is a good copy as all plates, including the frontispiece, have been excised. The boards show moderate wear, heavier at the spine ends. The front hinge is cracked. The text block is mainly clean with a few marks of unknown origin.
