About This Item
London: John Lane the Bodley Head Limited, 1930 First edition, limited to 750 copies. Quarter linen over decorative cloth boards, gilt spine lettering. Folio. Corners lightly bumped, minor soiling. A very good, clean copy. Of the 93 broadside ballads in the collection printed in this volume, 28 are unique, another 31 very rare, and the remainder are confined to two, or at most three, other collections. They give a vivid picture of the popular social life of the Restoration period, comprising warnings to the transgressor, dying speeches, amusing love encounters, and many other topics treated with the broad and outspoken humour and pathos characteristic of the times."

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
