Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons: The Knickerbocker Press, 1900. Limited to 1000 numbered copies, this being #125. This volume only from The Complete Works of J. Fenimore Cooper, LEATHER-STOCKING EDITION. SEE photos for this and other titles available from the same limited edition set - all sold separately. No date of publication is indicated, but circa 1900. Appears unread. Very Good condition. Handsomely bound in the original gilt-ruled textured maroon cloth, with smooth maroon cloth spine. The spine features two gilt-decorated/lettered brown leather labels (tiny chips). SEE PHOTO. The cover is only very lightly rubbed. Internal condition is Very Fine -- apparently never read, especially since some pages remain unopened -- still uncut at the fore-edge. Hinges, inner and outer, are perfect. NO owner's name or bookplate. All pages are crisp and clean. NO foxing. Top edge gilt. All gilt stamping is still bright and shiny. With photogravure frontispiece reproducing a ship illustration by S. S. W. Benjamin (tissue-guard is text printed), illustrated titlepage (printed in red and black), and decorative chapter head and tail pieces. "The Pilot was the first of Cooper's sea novels and represented the invention of a new kind of fiction. Inspiration for the use of the sea as a subject for a novel came from Cooper's annoyance with Sir Walter Scott's seamanship in The Pirate and his determination to show what a real sea-faring man could do with maritime materials." -- Joan St. Clair Crane (1974). See Spiller & Blackburn p. 173. Leather-Stocking Edition, Limited 1000. Hardcover. Very Good condition/No dust jacket, as issued. Illus. by Benjamin, S. S. W. 8vo. ix, 443pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Shop-Beschreibung

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
