Octavo, red boards (hardcover), black lettering and illustrations to spine and upper cover, 383 pp. Very Good in a Good, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: The author has written this new book in order to reveal the many sides of native art which have been building toward an American Art since long before the Pilgrims came. The book is an index to our means of expression, whether crude or finished, and covers as well the struggle for the recognition of our genuine, traditional American Art. Written in a clear, understandable style, showing how much of our Art has been unconsciously developed through the needs of the people and their desire to beautify their clocks and name-plates, tableware, glass and silver, and early furniture. American pottery and glass-making are discussed thoroughly; there is an excellent chapter on the Graphic Arts, and one on architecture. The whole field of painting is gone into, including the question of European influence as opposed to native talent, and there are many personality highlights. In the section on Art and Near-Art, many oddities are taken up which also have come down to us as antiques and which individualize America distinctly. Under the art headings come all kinds of fascinating things -- the early portraiture when men came around carrying prepared canvasses with them, asking to "limn your effigy" or make a "counterfeit presentment". (Mrs. Rawson's collection of old sayings is one of the most delightful things about her work.). Candleday Art is the only book that makes this material available to old and young, to student and layman. Like all of Mrs. Rawson's other books, it is remarkably rich in material from every possible source. The illustrations are delightful and diverse.

Octavo, orange cloth (hardcover), gilt lettering, illustrated endpapers, uncut, xvi, 308 pp. Very Good, with lightly rubbed edges and slight sunning to spine; in a torn, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: In this rich book of antiquarian reminiscences, Mrs. Rawson, well-known authority on the life and scenes of early New England, has unfolded another series of memorable pictures of the days when roads and highways connected towns far and distant from each other. Along these roads the reader travels in company with the author -- sometimes walking, sometimes riding in the old-fashioned stagecoach, and listening to her point out the meaning of the fascinating things which they see on the journey -- taverns and inns, mail coaches drawn by "lifey" horses, farmers on their way to mill, powerful oxen lazily pulling the plough, and shrewd, straightforward, honest citizens carrying on the affairs of the early town business and government. We see snowbound New England, with frozen noses and joyous sledding; we look into the inns with their quaint fireplaces and hardy bedrooms; we read fragments of old diaries in the quaint manner of old New England farmers. This fascinating world Mrs. Rawson recaptures -- a whole vanished world caught just as it disappears, over the horizon. The volume is distinguished, as all of Mrs. Rawson's work is, by the exact transcriptions of old New England language which she has preserved in the homely words and phrases just as they were spoken in the old days, and as they have come down in the speech of old people who still tell her their inherited lore.

From dust jacket: Here are further adventures in Mongolia even more exciting than those made famous in the author's "Tents in Mongolia" -- (one of the best-reviewed books of last year, a National Best-Seller and considered by the book-trade to be one of the most beautiful travel books of all time. Haslund hears of a mysterious Mongolian tribe, the Torguts, surviving in the Far West of the country. He resolves to go in search of them. He is offered a job with the famous (1927) expedition of Sven Hedin, going part of the way to the Torgut country. But first he is sent to film the Devil Dancing at the Madarai festival at one of the holiest Oriental monasteries. He makes friends with Yolros Lama, a reincarnation of Buddha, worshipped by millions as a devinity, who predicts good fortune for Haslund's undertaking in the West. This prophecy becomes known throughout the Mongolian world and attends the young man wherever he goes. Whether it protected Haslund in the first desert crossing, where he was in charge of the scientific column, or in the navation of the river Estin-gol, we leave the reader to judge. Certainly it accompanied the author during his arrest by Governor-General Yang of Sinkiang, and during his long stay among the Western Torguts, which is a highlight of the book. Among these people he is made Shaman; he explores the Mongolian steppes, studies their laws and customs from ancient manuscripts, learns their music and reconstructs their amazing history.
