Description:
Los Angeles: The Limited Editions Club, 1959. Hardcover. Near fine. This is Number 552 of 1,500 copies printed by Saul and Lillian Marks at The Plantin Press and signed by the illustrator. Despite its romantic excess, Ramona (1884) is possibly the most famous California novel and important for both its literary and historical facets. In much the same way that Uncle Tom's Cabin helped to arouse public sentiment against slavery, the abuse of California Indians depicted in Ramona helped to bring about reforms in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Jackson herself was appointed special commissioner to examine the condition of the Mission Indians in California. Quarto. Full woven terracotta cloth-covered boards, with a printed paper spine label. Mild toning to the spine label; else near fine. Housed in the publisher's slipcase, which is also a bit toned.

Long known to have been lesbian, she was in a relationship from 1934 to 1943 with Henrietta Bingham, daughter of Louisville publisher and ambassador to England Robert Bingham. 32 illustrations in aquatone. Octavo. Original green cloth binding, with dark green stamping. The remnants of a small bookseller's label appear on the rear pastedown.

Omnibus of five of the author's most popular works: Many Cargoes (1896), Sea Urchins (1898), Odd Craft (1903), Light Freights (1901), and Short Cruises (1907). Of Jacobs' work, the British novelist Michael Sadleir observed, Michael Sadleir has said of Jacobs's fiction, "He wrote stories of three kinds: describing the misadventures of sailor-men ashore; celebrating the artful dodger of a slow-witted village; and tales of the macabre." Octavo. Original green cloth binding, with black titles. Period bookseller's label to the rear pastedown. The dust jacket is moderately toned, more so along the spine and folds, with some very mild edgewear; otherwise very good.

Description:
New York: James F. Drake, Inc, 1926. Hardcover. Bound collection of 14 consecutive catalogues issued by James F. Drake, Inc., with the original wrappers intact. The firm of James F. Drake, Inc. was established in 1911 by James Frederick Drake (1863-1933) for the sale of rare books and manuscripts. For the native New Yorker the firm represented the culmination of a career in books and publishing that was already of thirty years' duration. Drake's sons, Marston and James, entered the firm in the teens, and by the time of the senior Drake's death the firm on West 40th Street was a mecca for bibliophiles in the New York area. The Drake brothers continued in the tradition of their father, but upon the retirement of Marston ("the Colonel") and death in 1965 of Jim the entire stock of the firm and its business records were acquired by the Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas. Small octavo. In a three-quarter red morocco over red cloth binding, with gilt stamping, five raised bands, and…

Description:
Chicago: Forbes & Company, 1908. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Inscribed by George Wharton James on the half-title. Influenced by his own experiences with the Navajo and other indigenous peoples of the American Southwest, James (1858-1923) expressed sympathy, admiration, and recognition of Native Americans in his writings, eschewing the "vanishing race" narrative and other forms of Social Darwinism popular among many of his contemporaries. He made it his mission to "break down his countrymen's resistance to acknowledge fundamental Indian humanity" and maintained that whites refused to acknowledge the good in Indians "because of a strange psychological tendency among people to deny the honorable and noble in those that they have injured." Octavo: 269 p. with numerous textual photographs. Original burgundy cloth binding, with gilt titles. The spine is a touch sun faded, with some wear to the corners and tips; else about very good.

Description:
London: Edward Arnold, 1922. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. The author's only novel, a supenatural fantasy for children. James's work as a medievalist and scholar is still highly regarded, but he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which some consider among the best in the genre. He redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. Octavo: 172 p. with a frontispiece and six illustrations by Gilbert James. Original orange cloth binding, with black titles. Minor crease to the top corner of two leaves. Light fading along the extremities of the boards, with a small bit of rubbing to the corners and tips; otherwise very good.
