Bluche, Francois Louis XIV
Ny Watts 1990 0531151123 / 9780531151129 1st Edition Hardcover Good+ Very Good Book
1st US it would seem, translation by Greenglass. Unmarked, jacketed hardcover made good 1st impression. However, the top edge of the text has a bit of smudginess, quite mild, but there. Also there is a bit of overall warp, indicating problem in storage. this said and while not collectible beauty-wise it would make splendid, sound reading copy. 702 pages, too thick for standard fast/international, USPS media mail at our usual price. A very well thought of biography. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.

Case, Frank Do Not Disturb
NY Stokes 1940 2nd Printing Hardcover Good+ Fair- Book Signed by Author(s)
A book of great charm. There is a trace of mild cocking evident, cloth is an even rich red, with attractive, unblemished gilt on cover and spine. Inscription by Case on the books half title page. Text is somewhat age darkened but supple. The books deckle fore edge is clean, the yellow top stain is even and attractive. The jacket is quite rough, with edge chipping at head and foot of spine and top back, some soiling and other wear. Jacket's spine is a bit sunned, in mylar wrapper it adds beautifully to the book, I will attempt to shoot jkt. and book for upload soon. Two associated items were loosely laid in and because of their size can not be shown in the books foto. I can attempt to shoot and email them if the clients desires. They are, 1, the 1946 obituary of Case from the NY Hearld tribune, 2, a review of Case's cookbook (a '30s or early '40s item) "Feeding the Lions" and an unrelated postcard solicitation from The Plaza Art Gallery from 1941. Because of the size of the newspaper clippings I have laid them in a large brodart jacket and flattened their creasings as thoroughly as possible. *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.*
