Balch, Glenn Winter Horse, Squaw Boy
NY Crowell 1951 Not Given Hard Cover Good- No Jacket Signed by Author
This listing is for 2 by longtime Idaho author Balch and they will be described in long winded detail. Included with the books are 6 news clippings (obits for Balch and Mrs. Balch, 50 year career appreciations etc.). My research shows the possibility that Crowell was using the NAP (no additional printings) as first identifier, but since these signed hard covers lack their jackets and 2 of the prolific GBs books were BOMCd can not be sure. Yes, books can be a very complicated business. The WH is signed by GB at the 2nd (blank) endsheets bottom and has all the customary use indications, trace bumping at board corners, trace of cocking (spine slant) but is unmarked, no stains to speak of some sun fade. The books 2nd title sheet was bound folded over and this has caused a crease, and at the creases upper edge a very short tear. There is no debossing mark (a book club indicator) and no additional or prior printings or edition statements are listed. The SB has previous owners inscriptions 1st end sheet and Balch has signed here and at bottom of 1/2 title page, 2nd endsheet. Lemon yellow cloth is stained in places. There is a 'Second Printing' statement under the copy right info. which seems to indicate that, the other (lacking any printing info.) presumably the trade product (not library binding) is correct as first. Again, no debossing. Any correction will be appreciated. Foto of all will follow.

Bancroft, Edith Jane Allen Right Guard
Akron Saalfield 1918 Reprint Hard Cover Very Good- Good+
Handsome copy of the Saalfield reprint (It is my understanding that Saalfield is always a reprint house) The book's black stamping on vivid green boards reads beautifully, crisp. Text unmarked except for name penned and trace of erasure abrasion first endsheet. The text is typically rather brown, though, seemingly not crisp, binding tight, no gapping, no problems. The jacket really makes the book, spine sunned, with the odd short tear, edgewear, but looking swell in its mylar wrapper. "We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.

Bemelmans, Ludwig The Golden Basket
NY Viking 1936 1st Edition Hard Cover Fair No Jacket
Book has qualities, good and less good which we will describe,as is our custom, in some detail, given it's costliness and it's status as the first appearance of Bemelmans totemic childrens character, Madeleine. The exterior has an assortment of mild stains and sunnings which will be evident from it's photo, coming soon. The top edge of the text is similarly affected. The boards have abrasion at the extremities, they are not badlly warped or bumped, only so mildly so as to escape notice. This said, the text, while not perfect, is heavy, clean and unmarked, excepting a miniscule mild smudge or two. It strikes me as supple and there are no gutter problems. The endsheets look nice but the first has a trace of flecking and both have some darkenig associated, I think, with the bindery gluing. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. Books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, and graded, using the strict, traditional standards. For this reason, we have virtually zero returns.*

Cameron, Eleanor A Mystery For Mister Bass
Boston Atlantic, Little Brown 1960 Later Printing See Below Hard Cover Good No Jacket Signed by Author
We use Ahearn's definition of First Edition i.e later printings of the first do not meet the standard. See "Book Collecting" for the full definition.This unjacketed hard cover is dated 1960 and stated as 5th printing. It is rather scarce even in later printings and lesser copies. Not x-library. No de-bossing mark is present and I suspect it was not book clubbed in this version. The signature is oddly done and would have raised my eyebrows a bit, but, it was acquired (along with other signed work by childrens authors Keats, Goode and Balch) from the estate of a serious collector. It seems likely to have been acquired casually by it's owner and given to Cameron later for her signature/illustration. What appear to be erasures have been made on the first endsheet. Garage sale price likely. Other easures have been made. A lightly pencilled (perhaps erased) original inscription is present overlaid by a green penned "Very best Wishes From Your friends Eleanor Cameron and Mr. Tyco Bass" with mushroom drawing. All wirting present seems correct for Cameron. Front board illustration reads nicely, tiny trace tip abrasion. The original collectors (childrens librarian) book plate is present at the lower corner of the first pastedown. A name is felt penned on last paste down (I suspect from the garage sale vendor of the item) neatly. The lower corner of back board has a bit of speckle. Text unmarked, miniscule degree of cocking, hard to see. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. Books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, and graded, using the strict, traditional standards. For this reason, we have virtually zero returns.*
