Description:
Fulton, Pittsburgh, 1895. Faux cloth over marbled boards with ownership label to upper left corner with school district and compiler information. Measuring 9 x 11.5 inches and comprised of 22 pages of sketches, herbal specimens, and sample essays (all recto). Firmly bound and with some dampstaining to the lower gutter not affecting text. Representing a range of exercises completed by state normal school student Flora Yagle, the book presents researchers with a range of study opportunities, including turn of the century pedagogical practice and curricula as well as genealogical and social history work regarding the family structure, work, and education of first-generation immigrants living on the East Coast. One of seven children born to German immigrants, Flora Yagle (b. 1887) clearly grew up in a family that emphasized education and upward mobility.

Description:
Boston: Little, Brown & Co, 1961. First edition. Fine/Near Fine. A Fine copy of the book, clean and appearing unread. In a Near Fine dust jacket that is a bit faded on the spine and with one tape repair to the verso of the jacket. Despite their youthful fantasies that they are different and more original than the other couples who surround them, Frank and April Wheeler succumb to the banalities of suburban middle class life. Climbing the corporate ladder, Frank becomes increasingly detached from his wife's domestic dissatisfaction; pay raises, praise at work, and tawdry affairs with secretaries numb his pain temporarily. Meanwhile, April despairs about being trapped at home as a wife and mother; she dreams of her more creative single life and her goals of living abroad. Pushed to the brink, she and Frank make a pact to abandon the normalcy expected of their generation and run away to Paris; but an unplanned pregnancy derails them and leads their marriage to a heartbreaking end.

A partial translation of the oldest and most famous hunting book in the English language, Gaston Phoebus. "Based primarily on Gaston de Foix's Livre de Chasse, originally composed in 1387, The Master of Game was written by Edward of Norwich in his 'leisure' between 1406 and 1413, mostly while being held prisoner for having treacherous designs against his cousin, Henry IV. While much of the book is almost an exact translation of de Foix, Edward added five chapters of his own to form the major source of our…
