194323161New York: The Macmillan Company. Very Good. 1943. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket spine slightly turned light shelfwear to bottom edge small nick in cloth at bottom of front cover; vintage bookseller's label Kendrick Bellamy Denver on rear pastedown. Novel about a career woman a young widow who works as an account executive for a San Francisco ad agency who is sent by her boss for whom she's already set her cap on a working vacation to Baja California to check out the potential of a disused casino being refurbished and turned into a resort. While on this assignment she succumbs to the Mexican way of life falls in love with a local ranch owner and considers throwing it all over to stay down there. Then her boss shows up romantic and professional complications ensue and a hurricane helps them sort it all out. The New York Times critic faulted the book for lacking "that deep below-the-surface quality that might have given reality to her consciously contrived tale. Even the background presented with such earnest attention to detail seems never to lose the aura of travel folder literature." Kirkus Reviews on the other hand found it an "intelligently emotional women's novel" -- so like with most books the only way to find out for sure is to read it yourself. .

198864527Stroud: Catalpa Press 1988. stiff paper wrappers. Lear Edward. oblong 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. xii 119 pages. With introductory remarks by Vivien Noakes. A fascinating census of the limericks in Edward Lear's Book of Nonsense which was first published in 1846 as two separate volumes with seventy-three limericks. A "new" i.e. second edition came out in 1855 and a third edition with forty-three additional verses was published in 1861. This third edition provides the first full text and also identifies Lear as the author for the first time. It is often considered the first "trade" version as it was published by Routledge Warne & Routledge and consequently received broader distribution and readership. Justin Schiller has cross-referenced the 116 limericks in the third edition with eight manuscripts for this book which are now preserved in various rare book collections and compared them to the printed texts of the 1846 1855 and 1861 editions. This volume also contains a census of known copies of the genuine first edition. Presentation from the author on the half-title. Catalpa Press unknown books
