About This Item
Spokane, Washington: The Arthur H. Clark Company, 2002. Brand New in perfect condition. NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. Fresh and crisp -- obviously never read. 2002. First Trade Edition of the 2002 edition. Limited to 1000 clothbound copies [there were also 100 in leather]. Includes a 37-page illustrated history of the Arthur H. Clark Company, and a full descriptive bibliography of the firm's publications, 1902-2002 -- over 700 books. This edition is revised, corrected and much enlarged compared to the 1993 version. It has been COMPLETELY RENUMBERED because publications produced under a contractual arrangement, but not issued under the Arthur H. Clark imprint have been removed from the basic bibliography and placed in a separate section. Almost 90 items published since 1992 have been added. Errors in the 1993 edition have been corrected. Information on reprint editions has been updated and expanded. Annotations have been greatly enhanced for many items and new photographic and illustrative material has been inserted. A section on catalogues and other promotional ephemera is also now included. Appendices cover Books in Series, and books mistakenly attributed to the firm (often due to title-page cancels -- books bearing the AHC imprint but actually published by others). Foreword by Richard M. Weatherford. Bound in the original gilt-stamped red cloth.. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. New/No jacket, as issued. 8vo. 303pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

About About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
