New York, New York: Macmillan Company, 1937. First Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good +. NF/VG+/1st ed. Edgar Allan Poe could'nt catch a break. Its no wonder that he became well known for his horror stories and his macabre poetry. But the truly interesting thing is how well his material stands up today. Poe is also credited with creating the detective story with the publication of "Murders at the Rue Morgue" in 1841. This biography was written by English author and poet Edward Shanks. The biography covers his early life, his family life, his career and some information on his stories and poetry. The book is only 176 pages long; it gives only a overview, it's not really possible to reveal this complex man in 176 pages. Still, its a good beginning for fans of his work, as way of explaniation for his dark hopeless writings. Book Condition is Very Near Fine; rust cloth over boards with gold lettering on spine. 176pp., First Edition. Tight and clean, with no markings. Bright… Read More

Cleveland Ohio: Seaforth Publications, 1978. First Edition. . Hardcover. Very Good+/Very Good +. VG+/VG+/1st ed. Very nice copy of the first edition with dust jacket. What began as a scrapbook and a photo album now emerges as a coherent narrative, which one Edistonian has rightly said "will educate those who should know Edisto's history."

Ninety two pages from eariest history to the 1970's, when the barrier island were mostly ignored. Lots of information about hurricanes, Colonial Times, Plantation days, and after the Civil War. Mrs. Puckette became a well known South Carolina writer. Book Condition is Very Good+; green cloth over boards with a green illustration on front, and lettering on spine. 92 pp., First Edition. Lots of b&w photos. Book is clean and unmarked, with top corners lightly bumped.… Read More

New York, N Y: The American Jewish Committee, 1946. Soft cover. Very Good+. VG+ Very clean copy, no foxing, firmly stapled with excellent color, though a light fade around spine. 54 pages with illustrations and b&w photos. Between the 1930s and the 1940s, the American Jewish Committe became more active in the support of Jewish Displaced Persons from Europe. The AJC with other groups worked as a successful lobby to bring 100,000 Jewish Displaced Persons to the United States. This book represents thought at that time for incorporation into American society; not only for the new immigrants but also for the American Jews as there was some antisemitic feelings in this country. I have found no other copies of this book for sale at the present time, and only nine copies in libraries nationally. Comes to you in an acid free document bag for storage.
