Description:
East Aurora, New York: The Roycroft Printing Shop. Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 1896. Limited/Numbered Edition. Hardcover. A light mark to the front cover, spine tail slightly bumped, bruise or dent to the head edge of the rear cover. Occasional, foxing to the pages, some pages foxed in the gutter at the head. ; In a periodical, Roycroft printed the first US appearance of George Bernard Shaw's essay on the institution of the church, primarily the Catholic Church, and churchgoers' reliance on organized religion. Although Shaw, via a postcard, had given Elbert Hubbard permission to publish this work, Shaw was horrified to find that Hubbard had taken liberties and edited the essay instead of printing it as it stood. Thereafter, Shaw disassociated himself from the Roycroft version, treated it as a piracy, and did not miss an opportunity to vilify Elbert Hubbard. From the essay, Shaw's thoughts on how drink, smoke, drugs, or the lack thereof, produce creative works, including…

Description:
Tieton, Washington: Marquand Editions. Fine with no dust jacket. 2009. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Pinhead nick to paper of back cover.; This brief essay is an homage to the spines of books. Spines, at their best, convey what the author, and ultimately the publisher, want the bookstore browser to assume about the book. The width, font, face, number of words, direction of printing, color, and pattern all affect us semi-consciously and determine if we will stop and pull the book from the shelf. The author explains his views as a publisher and provides examples and anecdotes about decisions on spine content. Unpaginated, but 5 pages. This is the initial volume of a 10-volume set of essays by different authors on various aspects of books. One of an edition of 500, most of which were distributed hors commerce. Designed by the author who is the publisher of Marquand Editions. Letterpress printed in Archer Book font on stiff leaves, each with two laminations of paper, trimmed at head and tail,…

Description:
No Place Stated: No Publisher Listed.. Fine with no dust jacket. N.D.. Softcover. Bastain's concise account of Admiral David G. Farragut's naval foray up the Mississippi river in 1862 to attack Vicksburg during the American Civil War. The battle itself is detailed, including the ship maneuvers of both sides. The movement up the Mississippi was successful due to piloting skill, extremely good luck, or likely a mix of both. The Mississippi delta and river offered little opportunity for deep-drafted naval vessels to navigate the200 miles inland to Vicksburg. Two full-page maps. The cover has a map of Vicksburg and the adjacent Mississippi river, July 5, 1862. The author worked with the Army Corps of Engineers for 5 years on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and is a retired civil and hydraulic engineer with relevant interests in the water and storm-related history of the South and the Civil War. The author has published over 50 technical papers and the books Grant's Canal: The…

Description:
Brooklyn, NY: Mergenthaler Linotype Company. Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 1954. Hardcover. Roll to the lower half of the spine, yet all board edges are parallel and properly aligned.; This book commemorates the 100th birthday of Ottmar Mergenthaler, inventor of the Linotype, a hot metal typesetting system that cast type in lines or slugs instead of individual characters. Linotype steadily replaced hand setting for newspapers, magazines, books, cards, etc. as it shortened the time required for compostion. This revolutionized daily newspaper production which was previously limited by the small number of pages that could be typeset per day. An Introduction by Lin Yutang briefly outlines the history of printing, throughout the world, that led to the need for and design of the Linotype. The main text is a chronology of printing methods, comprised of three sections: I. The Printing Industry Undergoes a Revolution. II. The Effort to Speed Up Typesetting. III. Ottmar Mergenthaler Invents the…
