201711334Jay NY: Caliban Press 2017. One of 100 copies on various handmade and mould-made papers including Zerkal Ingres papers from La Papeterie St. Armand each copy signed by the printer / designer Mark McMurray on the colophon. Page size: 10-3/8 x 7-1/4 inches; 107pp. plus half-title and titlepage table of contents and colophon. Bound by Anastasia Osolin: red morocco leather spine and black paper over grey paper with title printed on grey visible through rondel cut out in black paper title stamped in grey on spine. Set in 12-point Bell cast by Michael and Winifred Bixler the complete text of the first edition of 1843 also uses 19th century metal and wood types. The images are by Guy Berard Greg Lago Melissa Schulenberg and Gregory McMurray and are accomplished in various media including pochoir collage wood engraving and relief blocks. The illustrations are numerous and unusual collages of disparate materials - always suited to the text and designed to bring life to it no matter how many times one has read the story. The wood type is used to great effect. as are the varieties of paper and variations in type size dingbats and shaping of text. In all this is a CHRISTMAS CAROL to reveal to the reader the "dark sleep-deprived angst of the original complete text" from the artist's statement. A wonderful book. Caliban Press unknown books

1860121731860. An Extra Double Number of of All The Year Round. New York: J. M. Emerson & Co. 1860. Original self-wrappers bound in at the rear of the February 1861 monthly issue which has its own pale-yellow printed wrappers. First American Edition "published simultaneously in London and New York " according to the front wrapper -- of the second of the nine extra Christmas numbers of All The Year Round. Dickens actually wrote only the first second and fifth chapters of A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA the remainder having been written by his son-in-law's brother Wilkie Collins. This was the second of the nine extra Christmas number of All The Year Round of which Dickens was the editor. This is the only one of the nine annual numbers to be illustrated -- having on page 5 a woodcut of the actual "message from the sea." This example has the 48-page Extra Christmas Number bound in at the rear of the February 1861 monthly issue which includes the weekly issues of January. Included in those weekly issues are the first two serial parts of GREAT EXPECTATIONS the first of which leads off with the well-known "My father's family name being Pirrip.". Quite scarce -- much scarcer than the London edition. Very good condition wear at the corners. Not in Podeschi Yale -- see E13; see Eckel pp 195. unknown books
1861143951861. Philadelphia: T.B. Peterson & Brothers n.d. 1861. Without original wrappers. First American Edition of THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELER. "A Message from the Sea" was the All The Year Round Extra Christmas Number at the end of 1860; the pieces that formed THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELLER so spelled in England appeared there too and were then published in book form in London in December 1860 though dated 1861. In the U.S. Harper paid to have the pieces appear in Harper's Weekly after which they conveyed the publishing rights to Peterson who published the first American edition on 2 February 1861 advertised at 50 cents. As bibliographer Walter Smith indicates Peterson was and is a bibliographer's nightmare -- as no volumes were dated and multiple printings are differentiable only by their wrappers and ads; however a general rule of thumb is that Peterson's first format was wrappers without illustrations followed by cloth with separately-inserted plates and then cloth with integral illustrations. This is a volume from Peterson's "Uniform Edition" of Dickens's works initially bound in wrappers no longer present. This volume consists of a joint title page 5 a Contents page 7 and text continuously-paginated from p. 9 through p. 169 THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELER begins on p. 75. The ads printed on p. 170 actually bearing the page number "7" at the foot list other authors' books that were first published no later than 1860; this is the same ad page as appeared in Peterson's first American edition of GREAT EXPECTATIONS which was published on 27 July 1861 -- and therefore this is not the very first printing of this edition. Smith lists five copies he examined -- this copy plus four in institutional collections -- and only two of them at Kent State and at Wellesley are in wrappers but even those bear a price of 75 cents and thus are not the very first printing; Smith was unable to locate a single copy in wrappers bearing the price of 50 cents. All of this means: this is a scarce book! Except for the fact that the original wrappers are lacking this volume is in fine condition spine overlaid with archival paper. Smith pp 121-125 the "personal copy" of Note 2a is this one -- which Smith has signed in pencil; see Podeschi Yale D25. Housed in a simple paperboard folder. unknown books
