Cloth, large 8vo, 30 cm, 160 pp, ills. A well-illustrated study of fiction for boys, The contents include: Historical Background; Redskins and Pioneers; Ballantyne the Brave; The Treasure Seekers; Mark Twain and the American West; The Tide of Adventure; The Public School Saga; Science Fiction Stories; The Minors and the Moderns;… togrether with a Bibliography and an index. From the blurb: "In The Collectors Book of Boys' Stories, Eric Quayle traces the development of this fiction genre, and proves that it is as rich a source of pleasure for the book collector as for the young reader. Surprisingly few authors are at the core of boys' fiction, yet their output was tremendously prolific. Reaching back into history as far as Homer, Eric Quayle examines the precursors of boys' fiction before discussing the pioneers who pitched their stories directly at a young audience: authors like Frederick Marryat, R M Ballantyne, Captain Mayne Reid, Mark Twain, and Robert Louis Stevenson. He goes on to chronicle the achievements of later authors who consolidated and developed the genre, until the advent of film, and later television, put an end to its existence. The Collector's Book of Boys' Stories is full of lively anecdote, and generously illustrated from copies of 'classic' and not-so-classic boys' books. " Name and address stamp on front free endpaper, slightly agetoned, otherwise Good in somewhat torn and soiled dustwrapper.

Cloth, large 8vo, 144 pp, colour plates, ills. From the blurb: "This is the first general work to be published which considers the entire history of English literature from the viewpoint of the book-collector. The major auction houses regularly present book sales, and prices have risen dramatically; yet it is still possible for…the poorest amateur to build a satisfying library at a modest cost. For the benefit of collectors and would-be collectors, Eric Quayle describes the points to look for and the pitfalls to beware, covering every area of this absorbing pursuit. Beginning with the earliest printed books, he discusses novels and romances, poetry, drama, science and medicine, travel, natural history, early children's books, detective fiction and a miscellany of specialised fields - old bibles, books on sport and cookery, and erotica. There is a chapter on binding, and a comprehensive glossary of technical terms. In some 20 years, the author has assembled a library of first editions of English literature which is well known to collectors and literary historians on both sides of the Atlantic. All the colour plates and the many black and white photographs were specially taken of items in his collection. Eric Quayle is singularly well equipped for discussing questions both of rarity and of literary merit, and The Collector's Book of Books will undoubtedly be an invaluable guide to the expert and the novice alike - indeed to everyone with an interest in books." Contents: Introduction; Points and Pitfalls; Earliest Printed Books; Novels and Romances; Poetry; Drama; Science and Medicine; Travel and Topography; Natural History; Early Children's Books; Detective Fiction; Bindings and Binding Styles; Miscellanea; Glossary of Terms; Abbreviations; Selective Bibliography; Index. Covers a little rubbed, otherwise Good in a used, torn and price-clipped dustwrapper.
