199716573Westminster Maryland U.S.A.: Ballantine Books 1997. Splendid copy. As new. Boldly inscribed across the front endpaper in black marker by Sam Snead .Whether or not Sam Snead sits atop the leader board as golf's greatest is no gimme but there's no question about his ability to communicate. His storytelling was always as much a part of his game as his smooth melodic swing and he tells wonderful stories in The Game I Love. In the tradition of Harvey Penick's bestselling series Snead's book is a slim volume that affably blends advice with anecdote swing thought with strategy: on that level alone the book is nothing if not useful and engaging. What makes it uniquely fun though is its clever bottom-of-the-page photo feature; flip quickly through the book and you can see the Snead swing--as graceful as the game has ever produced--in all its glory and that fills The Game I Love with poetry as well. Signed by Author. Third Printing. Fine as New/Fine as New. Ballantine Books unknown
4to. 2 pts. in 1 volume. (232) pp., including two title pages with fine woodcut borders. With 50 nearly full-page woodcut illustrations in the text. Bound to style in modern blindstamped brown calf with giltstamped red spine label and sparsely gilt spine. Early edition of the first comprehensive book in the English language about the care, breeding, and riding of horses. The "Four Offices" are those of the breeder, rider, keeper, and ferrer: this volume contains the first two offices. Among the illustrations are 43 full-page examples of bits and bridles. Some 17th- or 18th-c. ink annotations. Blundevill(e) (1522-1606) was, according to the Arabian Jockey Club, "one of the founders of the thoroughbred industry." He originally translated Gisone's "Gli Ordini di Cavalcare" (1550) as "The Art of Rydynge" (1560), which was the first modern treatise on classical dressage and later incorporated as one of the chapters of this book. First published in 1565/66; all editions published prior to 1650 are considered uncommon. DNB V, 271.

An explanatory pamphlet aiming to "enlighten and guide every Muslim pilgrim about the sacred message of Islam and the rules of Hajj". The five pillars are laid out in 14 chapters, including instructions for pilgrimage, prayer, almsgiving and fasting. With a portrait of Sheikh Abdullah Khayyat. The other illustrations show Al Tan'eem near the Mosque of A'isha, a pilgrims' camp at the Al Rahma Mountain of Arafat, a view of the Taraf around the Kaaba, as well as the Al Khaif Mosque in Mona, the ritual "stoning the devil" at Al Aqaba, the Al Safa Palace before its enlargement, a view of the mosque, water and electrical stations at Muzdlifa, and the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina before the beginning of the Saudi rule in 1925. - Slightly duststained. A good copy of this compact introduction to Islamic faith, traceable in a mere 5 libraries worldwide, only one of which in Europe (Leiden University Library). OCLC 80175743.
4to (146 x 201 mm). (6), 164 ff. With woodcut border surrounding title-page and woodcut initials throughout. 19th century full calf ruled in blind, bound for the Inner Temple Library, London, with two morocco spine labels. All edges red. First English edition of one of the most important historical works of the first great age of discovery, "very rare" (Hill). The author mentions several journeys to the "Moores of Arabia" (27r), such as one in 1487 "to Toro, which is a place that hath his harbour in the Straights of the red Sea in the Coast of Arabia", and other places "in the selfe same Straightes of the Redde Sea" (2v), the ships also passing by "Ormuse" (Hormuz, 3r) on their return journey from India to Cairo. - Most of the "Historie" is devoted to the great Portuguese thrust into Asia in the early 16th century, chronicling their epic expansion to India, the East Indies, and China between 1497 and 1505. Castanheda himself spent some two decades in the Portuguese colonies in the East, and so was well equipped to write this account. It is one of the primary sources for the early Portuguese trading empire, a model that the British were beginning to emulate at the time of publication. This work is equally important, however, for its American content, being the first to describe in detail the voyage of Cabral and his discovery of Brazil in 1500, while on his way out to the East Indies. Cabral's landing is the first recorded there, recounted in Chapters 29-31 of the present work. "A most interesting and rare book" (Sabin). - Originally published at Coimbra in 1551, the book was translated by "Nicholas Lichefield" (probably Thomas Nicholas, the well-known translator of the Tudor era). This edition is appropriately dedicated to Sir Francis Drake. - Binding lightly rubbed in places, but still very presentable. A few near-contemporary annotations and manicules. Upper corner of title-page professionally repaired. Front pastedown shows engraved armorial bookplate (ca. 1700) of the barrister-at-law Herbert Jacob of St Stephen's (Hackington) in Canterbury, who bequeathed his books to the Inner Temple, London. Subsequently removed from the Inner Temple Library, now bearing their winged-horse crest in gilt on upper cover, engraved bookplate on pastedown and two different ink stamps to title-page and variously throughout. Offered by Hordern House, Sydney, in 1998 and sold to the San Francisco collector Bruce McKinney; the lower pastedown shows the bookplate of his 2009 sale. A scarce title with good provenance, in an appealing modern binding. Alden/Landis 582/54. Hill 1035. Borba de Moraes 166f. Palau IV, 262. Penrose, Travel and Discovery in the Renaissance 274-279. STC 16806. Sabin 11391. Streeter Sale 26. Not in Church.
