Description:
Lewis Hatch was a respected bookseller all through the 1920's into the 1930's. Here he addresses a prospective customer March 12, 1930. Dear Mrs. Murphy "Here is a spotless copy of the Kelmscott "Love is Enough" in the original box. As this is 33 years old (1897) I doubt if another copy as fine as this exists. The price is $100. Very truly yrs, Lewis Hatch. A very nice letter on his stationary with his location having changed from 443 East 57th St to 34 East 61st, New York. Small closed tear at bottom of letter else near fine. Of course copies of the Kelmscott at auction in recent years have been in the $3-5,000 range especially fine with the original box.

Description:
Worcester, MA: American Antiquarian Society and The Corner Bookshop, 1947. First Edition. Quarto. In two volumes. 757pp. and [758]-1508pp. The author began his work in the early part of 1913. At the time, he believed though it was a monumental task and there was a need it should only take five years to finish. His plan was to write a brief historical account of the newspapers, with exact date to the year 1820. Each state is represented in alphabetical order. A study of the bibliography shows interesting statistical results. In the period from 1690 to 1820, there were 2120 different newspapers published. He shows that there were 194 newspapers, out of the total of 2120, not a single copy could be located, though they were known to exist. A very useful work for the collector or dealer of newspapers. A near fine set bound in dark blue cloth, spines lettered in gilt, off setting to endpapers from dust jackets (not present), the slightest of bumping to corners. An exceptionally nice set.
