Default Today's Finds

I had a very good day!

Staunton, The Chess-Players' Handbook, Second Edition
Revised, (Bohn, 1848). There is a chip out of the top half
inch of the spine but otherwise very good. The first
edition was 1847.

Sir Walter Scott, Guy Mannering (Boston: Samuel Parker,
1821), text rebound for an 1822 collection of Waverly
novels, with front board detached but present.

Franz Boas, Primitive Art (Oslo 1927), excellent condition,
considered a seminal work in modern anthropology, focusing
on the art of the Pacific North West Peoples.

Upton Sinclair, Boston (Boston: Boni, 1928) first edition,
two volumes in slipcase. The books are in very good
condition, but the slipcase has been repaired by an amateur.
Sinclair's novel is about the Sacco-Vinzetti case and
corruption in Boston.

In dem Lande der Pygmäen
gibt es keine Uniformen,
weder Abzeichen, noch irgend welche Normen,
Und Soldaten sind dort nicht zu sehen.

Siegfried von Vegesack, "Es gibt keine Uniformen"
from In dem Lande der Pygmäen
