1857 Charles Dickens 1st ed 1st printing LITTLE DORRIT Social Classes Marshalsea

Little Dorrit "is a wonderfully rich novel— rich in ideas, rich in characterization, rich in incident, and written in a richly imaginative prose…many critics regard it as Dickens' masterpiece" (Watts).

This rare first book edition of Charles Dickens' "Little Dorrit" is a masterpiece in political satire. Dickens emphasizes and exposes many of the deficiencies and short-comings within the governmental system – specifically the debt collection systems. In addition to these critiques, Dickens makes clear his concern for the safety and treatment of industrial workers. A true story of the differences in social classes! This fine first edition includes 40 charming illustrations! Must see!

Description:
1890 John Milton Paradise Lost Gustave Dore Gallery Illustrated FOLIO Literature

"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n."
– Milton, 'Paradise Lost'

"When Cassell saw the Dore Bible, they personally approached Dore to do Milton" (Malan, Gustav Dore). Dore established himself as a prolific 19th-century illustrated and artist and the demand for his work was escalating. Thus, this later undated edition is valuable and desirable much like many of the other titles Dore illustrated.
"Gustave Dore, it has always seemed to me, was a motion-picture art director born before his time."(Harryhausen)

This fine Cassell edition of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' contains 50 full page illustrations by Dore!

1942 SUPERMAN 1ed Superhero Graphic Novel DC Comic Lowther Color Illustrated
"When Superman came out, it galvanized the entire industry. It's just part of the American scene. Superman is going to live forever."
― Jack Kirby, Comics Journal
Superman is one of the most popular fictional superheroes of all time, published by DC Comics. Superman appeared in various radio shows, newspaper comics, and eventually television and movie premiers. Because of his popularity, the name Superman has become synonymous with the American comic book. The book is the first novelization of a comic book character, and the first Superman story written by someone other than Jerry Siegel. It was Lowther who first provided many now-familiar details of Superman's birth and early life.
This 1942 first book edition by Random House features nine full-page illustrations with all 4 color illustrations.

Description:
v+321 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to cover and spine. First British edition. St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
