About This Item
San Francisco: William Doxey / Sign of Lark, [ 1899 - 1901 ]. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 24mo, 159, [v] pages, variant binding of flexible blue-green cloth (faded)
Per Livingston, the boast that this is the first collection of poems to contain "The Vampire" may or may not be true, based upon the actual date of this publication. Ads at rear announce it as "Ready September". Probably precedes the 1901 version described by Livingston's bibliography #183.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
