191018705Chicago: A.C. McClurg & Co. Very Good. 1910. First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . decorated red cloth with gilt lettering; no dust jacket nice solid copy minor wear at extremities slight fraying to bottom corners spine cloth a bit faded; attractive vintage bookplate see notes and small bookseller's label F. Loeser & Co. Brooklyn Book Store on front pastedown. B&W photographs drawings In her preface the author states that her book "was written with the desire of portraying Spain of to-day as she really is" as distinct from the many books she claims have been written about the country with "little sympathetic understanding of that Latin temperament which is responsible for the development of Spanish institutions." Furthermore it has been "written from the standpoint of the Spaniard himself and the opinions expressed at to institutions and customs peculiar to the country are in all instances bona fide expressions of the purely Spanish point of view." Bullfighting in case you're wondering is dealt with as part of Chapter VI "Amusements." The bookplate is that of B. Benjamin Olney Hough and depicts a man presumably him holding a book while standing in front of a window that looks out upon a bustling harbor of sailing vessels -- a reflection of the fact that he was an import-export man editor of "The American Exporter" and the author of several books related to international trade including "Practical Exporting; a handbook for manufacturers and merchants" published in 1915. So why buy a crappy printed-on-demand reprint with blurry illustrations when you can have the real deal And yes that is why it costs a little more; thanks for asking. . A.C.

198018832New York: Warner Books. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1980. First Edition. Hardcover. 044651201X . a touch of foxing to top page edges but no significant wear; jacket has a short closed tear and associated horizontal creasing fairly unobtrusive at bottom of front flap a little horizontal laminate-puckering near bottom of rear panel. endpaper maps INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on a special publisher's printed bookplate affixed to the half-title page: "Richard Nixon / for / Jimmy Stewart." The disgraced ex-President's umpteenth book this one pushing the thesis that "World War III has begun and we are losing it." It's not especially surprising that Stewart would have been on Nixon's celebrity presentation list he was of the Republican persuasion and no doubt a generous donor to the cause but other than normal shelfwear there's no real indication that he ever cracked this book open and attempted to absorb its contents jacket-blurb claims for it as "a strategy no thinking citizen can afford not to consider carefully" notwithstanding.
