18732607London: Sampson Low Martson Low & Searle 1873. First edition in English. Very Good. Rare first English language edition of Verne's classic work preceding the American edition and much scarcer than the 1873 Smith or Osgood US printings. Publisher's original red cloth stamped in black and gilt rebacked with portions of the spine replaced. Original peach end papers with a contemporary gift inscription and Burns Bindery ticket. All page edges gilt. Generally in good condition internally. A young reader has written comments at the end of the book in pencil that could be erased but we've left them as they are kind of charming. Finally publisher's catalogue "For the season 1872-73" has six pages not eight as seen in some other copies. Whether it's lacking the final advertisement leaf or whether it was issued as such we cannot say. A Very Good copy overall of a very scarce book. A similar copy also rebacked and in cloth brought $8750 at auction Heritage 2018.<br/><br/>"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is arguably Verne's masterpiece. As a classic it has aged wonderfully well: it is escapist fun but it still retains its literary and scientific significance. To dismiss it as simply an adventure story does it a disservice.it is also an eerie tale of isolation and madness packed full with geographica; and scientific accuracies that make the fantastic uncomfortably believable" The Guardian. A work of incredible imagination the novel follows the expedition and capture of Professor Pierre Aronnax as he scours the ocean deeps in search of a mysterious "sea monster" reportedly attacking international vessels. As it turns out the fabulous beast spotted off the coast of New York turns out to be the Nautilus a secret underwater ship constructed for and commanded by Captain Nemo. An incredible work of adventure that explores the depths of the human psyche. Very Good. Sampson Low, Martson, Low, & Searle unknown books

1890106191890. New York: J. S. Ogilvie n.d. 1890. 1 page preliminary ads plus 2 pp terminal ads. Original dark blue-green cloth. First American Edition and first edition in the English language. This is the sequel to Verne's "Moon" books of many years earlier: quoting from the preliminary ad leaf this is the story of How the Americans bought the North Pole and planned to change the axis of the Earth making the Arctic regions bloom like the Tropics by the explosion of a stupendous cannon. This tale is a good example of Verne's growing cynicism: whereas in the 1870s he has the Baltimore Gun Club using its gigantic cannon to explore the moon here the club has purchased land in the Arctic so that they can reap huge profits when that land becomes tropical. "Topsy Turvy" appeared in English in the January 19 1890 issue of New York World -- at the same time that newspaper's famous reporter Nellie Bly was attempting to beat Phileas Fogg's record time around the world. It was at some point soon thereÂafter that this Ogilvie edition No. 183 of "The Favorite Series" with ten illustrations was published the wrappered version in Ogilvie's "Fireside Series" is dated January 1890 on its wrapper. Sampson Low's British edition THE PURCHASE OF THE NORTH POLE was not published until December of that year with twenty chapters; both the original French edition and Ogilvie's edition have twenty-one. This copy is clean and unworn -- fine except that the endpapers have damage from overzealous erasure. As always the text paper itself is browned and brittle -- as Ogilvie produced as cheap a book as it could. This is quite an uncommon Verne volume. Taves & Michaluk V035; Myers 53. unknown books

1899106141899. Translated from the French by Laura E. Kendall. Chicago: M. A. Donohue & Co. n.d. 3 pp undated ads. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black light blue and peach. First American hardbound edition. UN BILLET DE LOTERIE was first published in France in 1886 and that same year George Munro of New York was the first to publish this in English -- in two self-wrappered volumes of his "Seaside Library" the first volume was published by July 1886 and the second by December 1886. In between these two in August Sampson Low published the first British edition as THE LOTTERY TICKET. Munro being of course a pirate publisher his business went downhill fast after the passage of the International Copyright Act in 1891 clearly George did not offer enough "soft money" to his legislators. His "Seaside Library" publications became the property of Donohue of Chicago and this book published "by the turn of the century" T&M is one result: though mentioning only "Ticket No. 9672" on the binding and title page it also includes various other former "Seaside Library" numbers by other authors including Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Pit and the Pendulum." There were no other American editions of this Verne tale between the Munro two-volume wrappered first and this Donahue one -- making this the first American hardbound edition. Both the front cover and the spine portray lighter-than-air flying machines. The usual problem for this book is the erosion of the peach-colored pigment used on the binding and this copy is no exception: although the book has very little overall wear the peach is entirely missing from the spine in fact it appears never to have been applied there and partly from the front cover.

1881135161881. Translated by Ellen E. Frewer. Illustrated by L. Benett. New York: E.P. Dutton and Company 1881. 1 page undated ads with prices in sterling.

Although this Dutton edition comes from the British sheets including the same binding design the same plates and even an ad leaf for Verne's works with prices in sterling it was published a month earlier than Sampson Low's first British edition.

1881105971881. Translated by Ellen E. Frewer. Illustrated by L. Benett. New York: E. P. Dutton and Company 1881. One page undated ads priced in sterling. Original bright red cloth decorated in black and gilt. First Illustrated American Edition also the first to be issued in a decorative cloth binding of one of Verne's odder tales. Wealthy Chinaman hears that his fortune is lost. Opts for honorable suicide by arranging for a friend to kill him. Learns that his fortune isn't lost after all. Tells friend thanks but there is no need to kill him. Friend replies that he has already arranged for some thug to do the deed and now can't contact him. This Verne title is also unusual in that all three early publishers of this tale on both sides of the Atlantic ultimately published it in the exact same cloth binding showing several characters "afloat on their backs propelled by the wind caught in minisails attached to toe-masts controlled by waistband halyards" T&M. The first edition in English was published in September 1879 by Lee & Shepard of Boston translated by Virginia Champlin and unillustrated both in wrappers and in plain cloth. By November George Munro then published it in wrappers in his Seaside Library. About a year later October 1880 but dated 1881 Dutton of New York published the tale as here from the British plates a different translation by Ellen Frewer -- with fifty full-page illustrations from the original French edition and in the binding designed by Sampson Low. In November Sampson Low published it in England perhaps waiting to make it a holiday offering. Finally a year after this September or October 1881 Lee & Shepard re-published the Champlin translation but with the fifty illustrations that had appeared in the Dutton and Sampson Low editions and in the same binding they had used. This copy is in bright red cloth one of several colors used without priority and is in near-fine condition just a hint of wear at the spine ends but unusually bright; the front endpaper bears a Christmas 1880 gift inscription verifying the book's actual year of publication.

Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt. First Illustrated Edition of this curious tale about a Chinaman Kin-Fo who is convinced he needs to suffer in order to appreciate true happiness -- and winds up planning to commit suicide then contracting for someone else to kill him then changing his mind. Dutton's edition though dated 1881 was actually published in October 1880 -- exactly twelve months after the unillustrated edition by Lee and Shepard of Boston dated 1880. Although this Dutton edition comes from the British sheets including the same binding design the same plates and even an ad leaf for Verne's works with prices in sterling it was published a month earlier than Sampson Low's first British edition. This is an unusually bright clean copy -- fine other than a little foxing only on the edges of the leaves. Taves & Michaluk V020; Myers 55. <br/><br/> hardcover books

Jules Verne 1828-1905 a French author famous for his many novels of adventures exploration and the future and the "Father of science fiction". In 1872 the serialized version of "Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours" first appeared in print. This was a grand travel adventure that capture the public interest when world travel was becoming easier. The printer Richard Edward King London published this book around 1895. It appears that an edition was printed for Divine Hall with special red cloth binding as described above. Divine Hall & Co. were general merchants gun dealers and dealers in other items in the communities of Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn from according to South African directories.Steve Fossett 1944-2007 was a successful commodities trader and an adventurer that set world records in balloons sailboats gliders and unique powered aircraft. In 2002 he was the first person to solo circumnavigate the world in a balloon uninterrupted and unrefueled and in 2005 made a solo nonstop unrefueled flight around the world in the Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer sponsored by Richard Branson. In the 1980's Fossett began developing a library collection of books on adventure and exploration. He enlisted the services of an experienced bookseller to assist in building a collection of more than 2000 volumes focusing on significant and authoritative accounts of aeronautics polar Asian Australasian circumnavigation's mountaineering and others. In September 2007 Fossett disappeared on a solo flight in a light aircraft over the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. After an extensive search the wreckage was found by hikers a year later along the rugged Mt. Ritter range about 10 miles east of Yosemite National Park. R.E.
