194840870Glendale CA: The Franklin D. Roosevelt Collectors' Association 1948. Paperback. Near-inclusive 11-issue run for this 8-year span lacking 3 issues November 1953 November 1954 and November 1955. Small 4to. Stiff tan wrappers. Various paginations most issues ca. 25-42pp. Frontispieces excepting May 1953 issue occasional illustrations. Good plus to near fine. Most issues to very good to near fine with only the second issue good plus wrappers bit age toned and discolored with wrinkling throughout. Fine grouping of 11 issues accompanied by a printed letter from president Donald S. Carmichael that accompanies the first issue and introduces it and also a few subscription renewal notices. Seven issues are still in their original mailing envelopes. Also present are two Typed Notes Signed and four Autograph Notes Signed from Valentine each on buff heavy stock 5½" X 3½" penny postal cards the first two TNsS chronologically from Decatur IL and dated 26 June and 7 July 1947 the second two ANsS from Glendale CA and dated 26 June 1948 and 7 January 1949 the last two ANsS being picture postcards from New York NY and London England and dated 16 July 1949 and 7 June 1950. All addressed to Elmer R. Underwood. Very good. Friendly FDR chitchat about the Association membership "We have had 38 new members ! since The FDR Collector came out" new FDR books etc. The New York picture postcard features a portrait of FDR and the London picture postcard depicts the President Roosevelt Memorial in London's Grosvenor Square. Valentine was for a time Ralph G. Newman's business partner at the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop that Newman founded and later sold books and even published a Stephen Crane bibliography after relocating to Glendale California. Underwood 1896-1982 was a noted Chicago Civil War collector and one of the handful of devotees along with Abraham Lincoln Book Shop founder Ralph G. Newman who founded the Chicago Civil War Round Table in 1942 -- the first of what would eventually become hundreds of similar Civil War Round Tables around the country. How long this publication continued publishing is surprisingly unclear -- references may be found to the presence of 1955 issues in institutional collections but nothing later than that -- suggesting that the May 1955 issue here may well be the final issue. A fine and scarce grouping in any case with accompanying autograph material from its one and only editor. Issues of this journal are rather uncommon and lengths of any run are rarely seen. This fine gathering is also accompanied by seven issues of Valentine's FDR for sale lists numbers 3 through 9 each titled "Books Pamphlets Autographs and Allied Material Relating to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and His Times" each 4to and several pages in length generally very good. ALSO present are two identically-titled lists ! from Valentine's one-time business partner Ralph G. Newman of the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop probably preceding Valentine's lists. Also 4to in size and a bit lengthier this "List No. 2" and "List No. 11" features a pictorial front wrapper. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Collectors' Association paperback books

1883L0531<p>624 pages with frontispiece and over 300 black and white illustrations. Royal Octavo 9" x 6 1/4" bound in the original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering and pictorial on spine and black and gilt lettering with pictorial to cover. Lacks the illustration of Twain's head in flames on page 441 and the corrected "St Charles Hotel" on page 443. Simultaneously published in 1883 in the United States and Great Britain the book is the first submitted to a publisher as a typewritten manuscript BAL 34II Second state of the first American edition.<br /><br />Twain once remarked that he considered this book his masterpiece the book that would outlive his other works and endure as a classic. Of course Twain once defined a classic as a book everybody talks about but nobody ever reads. At first glance it seems to be a travel book but it is really a highly readable discursive autobiographical account of Twain's boyhood and his region and of a culture that radically changed since he left home 30 years earlier. It makes good reading as background for <i>Huck Finn</i>. The only thing that is known of the printing history is what Twain wrote in 1891: that 50000 copies were printed and bound but only 32000 sold. Implication is that the unsold copies were reissued by Charles L Webster between 1884 and 1891 when he took over Osgood's stock. Copies are found with Osgood's sheets and Webster cancel title-page in Webster bindings dated 1888 and 1891. As a subscription book this book was similar in size to the hefty tomes of the American Publishing Company but the handsome pictorial brown cloth binding ranks with the binding of <i>Huck Finn</i> as one of the best on a Twain first edition. It could be ordered with gilt edges in full sheep three-quarter morocco and three-quarter calf. MacDonald: <i>Firsts</i>.<br /><br />This is a memoir by Mark Twain of his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the American Civil War and also a travel book recounting his trip along the Mississippi River from St. Louis to New Orleans many years after the War. The book begins with a brief history of the river as reported by Europeans and Americans beginning with the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1542. It continues with anecdotes of Twain's training as a steamboat pilot as the 'cub' apprentice of an experienced pilot Horace E. Bixby. He describes with great affection the science of navigating the ever-changing Mississippi River in a section that was first published in 1876 entitled "Old Times on the Mississippi". Although Twain was actually 21 when he began his training he uses artistic license to make himself seem somewhat younger referring to himself as a "fledgling" and a "boy" who "ran away from home" to seek his fortune on the river and playing up his own callowness and naïveté. In the second half Twain narrates his trip many years later on a steamboat from St. Louis to New Orleans. He describes the competition from railroads and the new large cities and adds his observations on greed gullibility tragedy and bad architecture. He also tells some stories that are most likely tall tales. In 1980 the book was adapted as a TV movie for American public television with David Knell performing as Sam Clemens and Robert Lansing as Horace Bixby the steamboat pilot who mentored him. The film used many tall tales from the book woven into a fictional narrative. In 2010 <i>Life on the Mississippi</i> was adapted as a stage musical with book and lyrics by Douglas M. Parker and music by Denver Casado. It was produced that year in Kansas City Missouri and Door County Wisconsin. <br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Recased in original spine some occasional foxing and finger soiling one signature slightly sprung else a very good and bright copy.</p> James R Osgood and Company hardcover books
