19516588New York: Dodd Mead & Company 1951. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 5 5/8 X 8 1/8 Inches. 272 PP. First printing copy of this early history of the Oak Island Treasure as well as wrecks in Bermuda and the Cape Cod sinking of the Pirate Ship Whidah. Signed and inscribed by author to early explorer of the Whidah John Francis Light. Light who was a teenager when he started studying the Whidah wreck never located the treasure. It was found by Barry Clifford in 1984. Very early signature from the year of publication. Light's account of the shipwreck and his discoveries are a major part of the book itself. This book is also the FIRST APPEARANCE OF KEMPTON'S cipher translated as "Forty feet below two million pounds lie buried" IN REGARDS TO THE OAK ISLAND TREASURE! A scarce and very important copy with possibly the finest provenance that any copy could have. <br /> <br /> Light toning and some tearing to final few pages that uncut and later pulled apart I would assume by Light who wanted the finish reading the book. Original price of $3.00 on front flap. Wear and minor chipping to DJ edges. Spine sunned. Dodd, Mead & Company hardcover

1949B572London: Faber and Faber 1949. First. Hardcover. Near fine/Good minus. Time of Hope is the third novel in C. P. Snow's monumental Strangers and Brothers series but first in the series' narrative chronology. It depicts the beginning of Lewis Eliot's life with a childhood in poverty in a small English town at the beginning of the 20th century.<br /> <br /> Very good in orange cloth with gilt titles on the spine. The gilt has some fading. The binding is sound but the book leans a bit. The corners are bent and so have compressed the corners of the text as well. The rear cover is dented at the lower spine corner. The unclipped DJ appears from the quality of the paper to be a facsimile and shows just a bit of edge wear. Snow has inscribed the book on the title page. FO. Faber and Faber hardcover
