Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Original gilt decorated cloth, dust jackets. Housed together in a custom chemise and slipcase. First Editions. London: Methuen, 1924, 26, 27, 28 Inspired by stories made up to tell to his son, Christopher Robin Milne, the ‘Winnie the Pooh Books’ quickly established themselves amongst the cornerstones of children’s literature. Having been asked to provide some space fillers for Punch, these semi-fictitious accounts of his son’s doings were transformed to verse and augmented and printed under the running title When We Were Very Young. After a few appearances, the verses were expanded to fill a full page Lot 90 and an illustrator, Punch’s political cartoonist, E.H.Shepard was found. When Milne had what he felt to be enough verses to fill a small book, he approached his publisher, Methuen, who agreed with a reticence shown by the publication of only 5175 copies of the first edition. Success was instant and by the end of the year 43,000 copies of the book had been sold. Despite the success of his first book, it was with Milne’s second book, a continuation but this time in prose, and the formal introduction of the eponymous character, Winnie the Pooh (who appeared in essence in When We Were Very Young, but under the title of Edward Bear), that guaranteed Milne’s immortality as a children’s author. The tales of Pooh, Piglet and friends have been produced in 25 languages and sold 70 million copes since first publication, a figure that is still increasing at a rate of 500,000 copies a year. Light chipping to jacket edges, some light soiling, first title with small spot of tape repair on verso of jacket, last title with a few spots of restoration on verso of jacket, jackets otherwise unrestored; first title with some faint staining to cloth and previous owner’s bookplate, other volumes with only light wear; overall very good or better in like jackets.

New York: D. Appleton, 1887 The “Household Edition” was first issued in 1879 and which went through numerous dated editions at least until 1906. There is an introductory biography and appreciation by Richard Henry Stoddard. The rear of the dust-jacket bears a lengthy advertisement for a two-volume edition of Bryant’s poems that was first published in 1878. Appleton altered the title-page date in each successive edition of the “Household Edition”’; so it may be inferred that this volume and its very scarce dust-jacket do date from around 1887. Glaister’s Glossary of the Book states that, while the first printed dust-jackets appeared in the 1830’s, they did not come into common use until the 1880’s. BAL, I, p. 369.

In this book he describes his drastic and greatly improved redesign of the standard typewriter keyboard. The original QWERTY design had been intended to slow down expert typists and avoid key-jams. The Dvorak keyboard made typing much easier, faster, and more efficient; but the great majority of typewriters and computer keyboards still use the QWERTY design. Although the Dvorak style is said to be easy to learn or adapt to, general proficiency in use of the computer keyboard remains greatly handicapped. One spot of underlining; else near fine. (100/150)

Sixth Edition. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Grambo & Co., 1854 Includes a contemporary oval albumen photograph portrait of Louis Agassiz, mounted on white card and captioned “Prof. Agassiz” in a contemporary hand, laid in. Signed on front free endpaper: “Theodore Lyman / Cambridge / 1855.” Theodore Lyman (1833-1897) was one of America’s greatest zoologists of the 19th century. After graduating from Harvard in 1855, he studied with the legendary Swiss-American naturalist Louis Agassiz (1807-1873). As were many eminent scientists of the era, Lyman was trained and inspired by Agassiz--which explains the photograph laid into this copy of Types of Mankind. Types of Mankind, however, exposes a dark side of Agassiz’s scientific achievements. The first six editions all appeared in 1854, and four more appeared up to 1871. Garrison & Morton 201; Sabin 56040.

Venice: Antonio Bassanese, 1765 Scarce collection of poems composed in honor of the wedding of two Northern Italian aristocrats.

Selections” are arranged in three sections: sonnets; songs, odes and other longer pieces; and a long poem in three cantos by Ongaro. The only other contributor of note seems to be Count Daniele Florio (1718-1789), who published some other poems and is noticed by the Nouvelle Biographie Universelle. Certainly the visual glory of this work lies in the frontispiece and other figures and decorations by Jacopo (or Giacomo) del Leonardis. Benezit tells us that this painter and engraver was born in Palma in 1723 and died after 1782. A prize-winner at the Accademia of Venice, he engraved a great many images in many genres and was known for the accuracy of his engravings after paintings.

With 18 woodengraved illustrations; decorative initials & decorative titlepage. 5¾x3¾, original blindstamped cloth, lettered in gilt on front cover. New York: W. Jennings Demorest, [1870?] This is the first separate American edition of this poem, and possibly the first separate edition overall, of great rarity. Demorest offered this booklet as a premium to subscribers of his two magazines (`Demorest’s Monthly,’ 1866-77, and `Demorest’s Young America,’ 1866-1875). BAL 16216 records as the first separate edition an 1869 edition printed in Glasgow; this printing was for the blind, printed in large colored type on eight leaves of lilac tinted paper. Based on the ads in this edition, the earliest possible date for printing would be 1866, but since Demorest also published this poem in the May, 1870, issue of his monthly magazine, it does seem likely that this separate printing was produced that year in this form. Extremities rubbed, front hinge cracked, rear hinge starting; else very good. (2500/3500)

(Folio) 9½x6½, modern full brown calf, paneling in blind, spine lettered in gilt. First Scots Translation. Edinburgh: Thomas Davidson, c. 1540 First edition in Scots dialect of Scotorum Historiae, Boece’s history of Scotland from its earliest origins, a work “highly influential in the way in which the Scots regarded themselves” (ODNB). The Latin edition was first printed at Paris in 1527. The poet John Bellenden undertook the translation into Scots at the request of James V, completing a first version in 1531 (the manuscript presented to James V survives at the Morgan Library) and a revised version in 1533, represented by the present printed text. Bellenden’s translation circulated widely and influenced other works, including Lot 428 Holinshed’s Chronicles, one of the sources used by Shakespeare. It is also an among the earliest examples of Scottish printing, preceded by only a handful of books. Prior to Davidson’s career, printing in Scotland consisted of the brief activity of Chepman and Millar at the beginning of the century, and of John Scot about 1520. While well represented in institutional holdings (ESTC locates more than 15 copies) only a single copy has appeared at auction in at least the past 30 years. Aldis, Henry G.

CONDITIONS OF SALE
The property listed in this catalogue will be sold by PBA Galleries, Inc. (hereinafter Galleries) as agent for others upon the following terms and conditions as may be amended by notice or oral announcement at the sale: 1. All bids are to be per lot as numbered in the catalogue. 2. As used herein the term “bid price” means the price at which a lot is knocked down to the purchaser and the term “purchase price” means the aggregate of (a) the bid price (b) a premium of twenty percent (20%) of the bid price payable by the purchaser, and (c) unless the purchaser is exempt by law from the payment thereof, any California state or local sales tax except where sold to a purchaser outside of California and shipped to the purchaser. The Galleries have been authorized by the consignor to retain, as part of remuneration, the 20% premium payable by the purchaser. 3. Property auctioned by the Galleries is often of some age. Prospective bidders should personally inspect such property to determine its condition and whether it has been repaired or restored. Any information provided by the Galleries or its employees is for the convenience of bidders only and should not be relied upon. ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD “AS IS” AND NEITHER THE GALLERIES NOR THE CONSIGNOR MAKES ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR ITS VALUE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR WHETHER THE PURCHASER ACQUIRES ANY COPYRIGHTS. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE GALLERIES OR THE CONSIGNOR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTNESS OF DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, ATTRIBUTION, PROVENANCE, AUTHENTICITY, AUTHORSHIP, COMPLETENESS, CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR ESTIMATE OF VALUE. NO STATEMENT (ORAL OR WRITTEN) IN THE CATALOGUE, AT THE SALE, OR ELSEWHERE SHALL BE DEEMED SUCH A WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, OR ANY ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY. HOWEVER, notwithstanding this condition and subject to the further provisions of this paragraph as set forth below, property may be returned by the purchaser, the sale rescinded and the purchase price refunded under the following conditions: (1) printed books which prove upon collation to be defective in text or illustration (provided such defects are not indicated within the catalogue or at the sale), and (2) autographs which prove not to be genuine (if this can be demonstrated and if not indicated in the catalogue or at the sale). Printed books are not returnable for defects not affecting text and illustration, including, but not limited to, lack of half-titles, lists of plates, binder’s instructions, errata, blanks, or advertisements. No returns will be accepted unless written notice, by registered mail or receipted courier, is received by the Galleries within fourteen (14) days of the sale of the property and the property is returned in the same condition as it was at the time of sale. NO LOT IS RETURNABLE ON ACCOUNT OF PROPERTY INCLUDED BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY NAMED AND DESCRIBED IN SUCH LOT. LOTS CONTAINING THREE OR MORE TITLES, WHETHER NAMED OR UNNAMED, AND SELLING FOR ONE HUNDRED FIFTY ($150) OR LESS, EXCLUSIVE OF BUYER’S PREMIUM, ARE SOLD NOT SUBJECT TO RETURN FOR ANY REASON. 4. Photographs, prints and other fine art multiples are sold in compliance with California law, and the Galleries’ catalogue descriptions of such multiples conform to the applicable provisions of that law. 5. Any right of the purchaser under this agreement or under the law shall not be assignable and shall be enforceable only by the original purchaser and not by any subsequent owner or any person who shall subsequently acquire any interest. No purchaser shall be entitled to any remedy, relief or damages beyond return of the property, recision of the sale and refund of the purchase price; and, without limitation, no purchaser shall be entitled to damages of any kind.

6. If we are prevented by fire, theft or any other reason whatsoever from delivering any property to the purchaser, our liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid by the purchaser. 7. Books and other property purchased are to be removed at the close of each Sale unless shipping instructions are received by the Galleries before such sale. If not removed, property will be held at the sole risk of the purchaser and no responsibility is assumed if such goods are lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed. The Galleries will facilitate shipment of property to out-of-town purchasers at an additional packing charge plus carriage and insurance, but will not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from the shipping thereof in excess of the amount of the insurance. 8. Payment terms: All items are to be paid for by (a) cash, (b) cashier’s check, (c) credit card, or (d) personal check with approved credit, and all accounts are due when bills are rendered. MERCHANDISE WILL BE SHIPPED AFTER PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED. 9. We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be conclusive in every respect. 10. Unless the Sale is advertised as a sale without reserve, each lot is offered subject to a reserve. MOST LOTS OFFERED BY THE GALLERIES HAVE A MINIMUM RESERVE OF ONEHALF THE PRESALE LOW ESTIMATE . The Galleries do not accept reserves of more than the low estimate nor allow consignors to bid on their own items. 11. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery or inconvenience in the settlement of a purchase, no lot can be transferred. Each buyer must pay for the whole of his purchases before any lot can be removed. 12. As a service to clients unable to attend the Sale, we will accept absentee bids without charge in advance of the sale by telephone, mail, fax, email or in person. All bids must state the highest bid price the bidder is willing to pay. “Buy” bids are not accepted. Please check bid sheets carefully to make sure you have the correct lot numbers and that the sheet is legible. The Galleries reserve the right to refuse to undertake absentee bids, and shall in no event be responsible for failure to execute such bids or for any error that may occur when executing them. Unsuccessful absentee bids will not be acknowledged. ALL SALES HELD BY PBA GALLERIES ARE CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2328 OF THE COMMERCIAL CODE AND SECTION 535 OF THE PENAL CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

CONSIGNING BOOKS TO PBA GALLERIES
The first step in consigning to PBA is to contact the Galleries, either by phone, fax, email or letter. It can then be determined whether the item or items under consideration would do well at auction. Following this, arrangements can be made for the delivery of the material to PBA. In the case of large consignments or libraries, a member of the staff may be able to view the books on location, and make arrangements for its transportation to PBA Galleries. Because of the costs involved, PBA discourages consignments with a total value of less than $1500. The frequency of auctions, and variety of subject matter, allows PBA Galleries to ensure quick turn-around time for items consigned. Books can appear at auction as quickly as 30 days and generally not more than 90 days following consignment. Commissions vary between 10% and 15%, depending on the selling price of an item. These commissions encompass all related costs including insurance, storage, cataloguing, illustrations, etc., except shipping. Payment is sent within 20 banking days of an auction.
