“History of New York City: From The Discovery To The Present Day” 20 engravings and 85 woodcuts, 1872 first edition bound in three-quarter brown leather and marbled boards.

Good romance novel, Niger Morocco binding, first edition, signed, limited to 210. No slipcase and tbh it’s an ugly slipcase anyway. Got some handling wear, spine fade, but Its in pretty good condition nothing crazy. I looked through Reddit to see if anyone posted about it before and nope only one book recommendation comment.

Long asssss hallwayyyy.

One of the books from my early 1900s first edition romance collection. It is very rare in this condition and is a relatively recent acquisition of a novel I’ve had my eyes on for a while. The novel was adapted into a self titled, silent, black and white film the same year (1917) that has been lost to time. And remade later as “The Girl In The Rain” in 1920 which is also apparently a lost film as well. I’m not a film enthusiast and barely watch tv so I don’t know why it was so common to lose film, but it kinda shows how important preserving this stuff is.

Weird carpet pattern huh lol. Glue down. Remote work.

This is my hyper-specific archive of Boston Mass, American Protective Association newspapers specifically “American Citizen”.

Library of Congress control number sn87070380 no start date and no end date in records (18??-1???, they “may” hold one physical copy but probably only microfilm, I asked Boston Public library if they held any physical copies they said no but they are catalogued online so they must hold physical copies somewhere or on microfilm. I have been building this small collection for over 5 years it’s taken a while because these rarely if ever pop up.

Contains an ad taken from a directory dated 1890 from Geo P. Rowell & Company American Newspaper Directory

Contains 1895 special poster newspaper collab with undocumented Boston Daily Standard

Contains 1896 standard Newspaper

1894-1895 pamphlet

I have another pamphlet but it’s being processed right now. And I have other Anti Irish/ Anti Catholic propaganda but it is unrelated to this specific paper. This is explicitly not the British American Citizen, you know because of the motto “A Distinctly American Paper” and the absence of “British” in the masthead. And the paper doesn’t like immigration. Anyways I’m a little proud of it.

1866 Edition carefully revised by author, original binding in very good condition it contains updated post civil war content. I saw a post about woman’s etiquette I really liked so I wanted to share a book on men’s etiquette written by a woman under a male pseudonym. It is not a first edition but it is still a rare book I find interesting. This is a very uncommon binding variant of this particular edition and the gilt is still nice. It has regular wear fading and rubbing on boards, toned pages and a little foxing on first couple and last couple pages overall a solid copy.

Two Victorian bindings:

One 1879 true first edition of In New Granada: “Hereos” and Patriots in very scarce original, very good condition, wine red binding with detailed gilt, 368 pages, multiple wood engravings throughout the text. It is a war story. There’s 1880s reprints marketed as first editions online for $60-70 in not very good condition or at least idk why it looks like that, I don’t know what mine is worth. I’ll add a photo of the abebooks description tell me what you think.

And one green Complete Works Of Cowper’s Poems with gold detailed gilt with a slipped in bookplate dated 1883, unknown edition, nothing significant, not worth much, so I never bothered looking it just looks really nice. They look good together. I’ll add the close up pictures of this book in the comments.

No dust jacket, stated first edition, it’s in very good condition, no writing inside, natural toned pages, deckle edges. Gold gilt, some rubbing on boards and gilt, a little fading. Got it for I think $90 on Abebooks some years ago.

Los Angeles Critical Mass, a Trip Hop album compiled by KCRW DJ Kevin Lincoln and producer Kevin Crosslin (credited as Cavestar) for Mindspore Records. In 1998. I got this many years ago for like $40.

This Like Minds album is genuinely one of the best produced Jazz hiphop album of all time. It’s so unique. It has very little views but it is gold. Most songs are produced by Illnaughty and Cai “Like Minds”. There’s only a handful of these copies.

I’m sharing because well, shits cool.

Limited Editions Club are such well made books.

First edition, very good to very good+ condition. One of my favorite books I’ve read and so so rare. The dust jacket is wartime reproduction 1945 the book itself is 1933/1934 early true first print. The dust cover for the true first is basically nonexistent on the market. Gatta do what you gatta do.

London: Walbrook & Co., Ltd., 1920. Octavo. Probably rebound quarter-calf binding in two tones of red leather and red cloth by John Durham & Son, 13 Overgate a small extinct binding company from Dundee Scottland. Gilt lettering to spine. Ownership inscription of W. Frank Gladney, Baton Rouge, LA, dated 1947. Contains annotated games of Capablanca and coverage of the 1920 World Championship negotiations. I know it’s not that expensive but it is really rare and neat to see the printing company, to binding company to an owner all in a fine copy like this. (First Edition oop) editing errors.

I have a large collection of antique books, and this is probably the scarcest piece of paper I own. This is an extremely rare special collaboration between two extremely scarce undocumented newspaper. I contacted multiple colleges here’s a few…
Catholic University of America
Boston College
University of Notre Dame
American Antiquarian Society
Anyways they don’t have any, it’s undocumented in library of congress.
I have another American Citizen 1896 newspaper but it is a standard newspaper with only one cartoon which is also a scarce paper, I spent months independently verifying this paper and I needed a standard copy to verify the extraordinary special poster edition I have. This is NOT the British American Citizen, this is a distinct specific American Citizen/Boston Daily Standard newspaper. This is an APA document, most were deliberately destroyed, and I’ve never ever seen another Boston Daily Standard paper.

Book one is in fine condition, the others are in near fine and the extra book one is well it’s in ok condition. I bought it because it was cheap but I specifically wanted all fine copies. I only posted one photo because I thought it would be redundant if I posted 6 number lines. Feast For Crows is signed.
