Amaral, Anthony Mustang: Life and Legends of Nevada's Wild Horses
Reno University of Nevada Press 1977 087417046x / 9780874170467 Presume 1st Hardcover Very Good- No Jacket Book
The book's most notable flaw is a staining at top edge which has not penetrated text, also has a tiny bit of smudging/wear/nick at head of spine, not obvious at all, but still there. Balance of green boards are sharp looking. Text quite decent with the odd micro smudge. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. We assure the buyer that books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, and graded, using the strict, traditional standards. *

Bailey, Kenneth P. Journal Of Joseph Marin
Huntington Library 1975 1st Edition Thus Hardcover Very Good+/None No Jacket Book Signed by Author(s)
Scarce book. This copies condition closely approaches Near Fine. It was acquired from the estate of a Southern California Faulkner scholar and I have confidence in the signature partly for this reason. Bailey is editor and translator, his undated signature appears on the title page along with a signature for Darlene Bailey dated 1/4/2000, I surmise this would be a much younger wife or perhaps Bailey's daughter, given the age he will have been, and perhaps signed by her after his death and presented as a gift. Bright, beautifully made book. Unmarked, unbumped, miniscule abrasion at lower extremity and upper board tips. *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.*

Bailey, Robert G. Hell's Canyon
Lewiston Bailey-Blake 1943 1943, Limited Hardcover Poor No Jacket Book Signed by Author(s)
Many roughnesses here, but binding holding, content sound. 3rd endsheet, just prior to Bailey signature has been unevenly scissored out, gutter unaffected. The board bottoms have wicked up moisture and the first and last end sheets have some pink color as a result, largely at their bottoms and text is generally unaffected. The front boards have splotching, fairly mild, bumping, all tips. Other than the above referenced and age darkening of texts edge, it is good content wise, with significant battered charm. Whimsical cover illustration (con Lucifer) reads nicely. JUST RECEIVED and added to this listing Ashworth's "Hells Canyon" hard cover, 1st, 1977, no jacket, a history of the area and of the preservation battles in the 60s and 70s, handsome straight copy, unmarked. *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.*

Bird, Annie Laurie Boise, The Peace Valley

Bowes, Gordon Peace River Chronicles
Vancouver Prescott 1963 1st Printing, Stated Hardcover Very Good- Fair+ Book
Copyright page says "First printing October 1963," and it is therefore (priced jacket/no points of issue known to us) the true first edition. As with Ahearn, we do not call later printings of the first edition or later printings than the First, first editions. They may meet the publishers standard, this standard varies house to house, but these later items are not considered firsts by the serious collector or dealer. Handsome hardcover copy, but showing it's 50 years a bit. Some abrasion and a tiny tear at spines bottom, tear is less than a 16th", and board tips, very light bumping of board tips, not badly. Text decent, binding sound, map laid in on last pastedown looks quite nice. Jacket roughish, much tattering and chipping, front flap present but loose from balance. The jacket will be placed in new mylar wrapper (all our jacketed books are shipped in new wrappers) for foto to come. *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.*

Burns, Walter Noble Tombstone
NY Doubleday, Page & Co. 1927 1st Edition Hardcover Good- No Jacket Book
A collection of Burns' tales of the Arizona town derived from newspaper accounts. Could not swear it is not a book club but it seems most unlikely. No debossing mark present, fore edge deckle, 1st edition statement in place. The books sole notable structural flaw is a bit of gapping at the gutter prior to the title page, ie cheesecloth can be seen but no actual separation has occurred, the gap is less than 1 16th". Some bumping and typical wear is noted. With gentle handling, will tolerate many more readings, a superb candidate for restoration. Foto will follow. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. We assure the buyer that books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, using the strict, traditional standards.*
