Some wear, nothing terrible. Some price sticker residue on front cover. A large collection of one of my favorite one-panel comic strips. Includes a few comments by the artist. 223 pages, all clean, tight and intact. Owner's name inside front cover.

Ex-library book with library binding. Stated first edition. Green fabric covered boards show some mild wear but remains sturdy. Pages are clean, tight and intact. The contents are a long series of letters from Robert Frost, with notes by both the sender and the recipient. Many poems are included, often somewhat different than the later published versions. This book will ship at a little over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

A small amount of wear. Pages are clean, tight and unmarked. Trade paperback, 233 pages. A petty thief is rescued from certain death by an ambitious doctor. Freed from prison, he reinvents himself with two identities, the society gentleman Montmorency and the filthy robber Scarper. This first of five in the series.

Some minor chips at the edges and corners. A couple of creases on the spine and one more on the back cover. Pages are tight and clean, with scattered and infrequent notes. A total of seventeen stories, ten of which were published in periodicals before this book was published.

Likely first edition. Signed by author with inscription on the title page. Very little wear. There is a crease across the lower right front corner of the cover. The spine is square and uncreased. Other than the inscription, the pages are clean, tight and unmarked. A post card is included, picturing two children of gate in 1910 (see photo). This book is quite rare and probably came from a rather small print run. (Having driven through Gate, I can attest to there being little left of what this book documents.)
