About this Item: McClure, Phillips & Co., New York, 1903. Hardcover. Condition: Good. W. B. Wollen (illustrator). 1st Edition. Good, solid copy, very clean, with wear at the extremities and fading to the spine. This is a little tale ( Doyle's words) of the Napoleonic soldiers. The age3 was rich in military material, some of it the most human and the most picturesque that existed at the time. The author has taken from the Journal of sergeant Fricasse and the Recollections of de Segur complete with materials from those military men to give a true historical and military atmosphere to an imaginary figure. There are 17 very fine illustrated images throughout the book by W. B. Wollen. This historically important book feels more like non-fiction than fiction. This is a nice collectible for those interested in early 19th century military history. 297 pages plus 12 pages of advertisements.

About this Item: Knopf, North Sidney, NSW, 1994. Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Book is AS NEW in a near fine clipped dust jacket. All 22 of the stories in this collection, John Updike's eleventh, and his first in seven years (1994) in various ways partake of this glow, as life beyond middle age is explored and found to have its own particular wonders, from omniscient golf caddies to prescient sexual rumors, from the death of mothers and brothers in law to the births of grandchildren. As death approaches, life takes on, for some of these aging heroes , a translucence, a magical fragility; vivid memory and casual misperception lend the mundane an antic texture, and the backward view, lengthening, acquires a certain grandeur. Three of the stories collected here were included in volumes of The Best American Short Stories, and " A Sandstorm Farmhouse" won first prize in the O. Henry Awards in 1991. Book is AS NEW unmarked and probably unopened.…

About this Item: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, New York, 1942. Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near fine, unmarked copy of Erskine Caldwell's novel of guerrilla warfare in Russia. The author was best known for the novel Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre and wrote about poverty, racism and social problems in his native Southern United States. In his later life he gave lecture dealing with the lives and struggles of poor people throughout the country. He fell out of favor with many for his advocacy of eugenics and the sterilization of poor whites. Book is solid, clean and quite interesting. And for all the authors shortcomings, the book is a worthwhile study.
