Famous Horses of the British Turf. An Incomplete Ten Volume Set.
by Coaten, Arthur W., ed
- Used
- Hardcover
- first
London: Welbecson. First Edition . Hardcover. Good+. W.A. Rouch photos. An incomplete ten volume set: includes 'special volume', covering the years 1919-1923, and Volumes I-IX, covering 1924-1932; MISSING Volume X, 1933. Folios, filled with biographies and fine photogravures of famous horses; uniform bindings, brown cloth with white cloth spines, top edge gilt; overall, good plus (all have lightly sunned spines and moderately foxed text and plates). Special Volume, 1919-1923: No. 198 of 600 copies, soiled and spotted spine, frayed at top. Vol. I, 1924: No. 716/1000. Vol. II, 1925: No. 583/1000, spots on spine, boards bowed. Vol. III, 1926: No. 423/1000, spots on spine, covers soiled, and brown cloth separating from white in rear. Vol. IV, 1927: No. 156/1000, spots on spine. Vol. V, 1928: No. 371/1000, both covers bowed, spots on front cover. Vol. VI, 1929: No. 124/1000, spots on spine, soiled covers, more foxing than others. Vol. VII, 1930: No. 274/1000, soiled front cover. Vol. VIII, 1931: No. 104/1000, bottom corners and pages bumped. No. IX, 1932: No. 90/1000, bumped at upper corners. In spite of the numerous small flaws, the set looks handsome; the worst deficit is the foxing, which affects every plate at least somewhat. The photography, and the printing of the photos, is quite excellent. Each photo-plate has an onionskin interleaf.

London: William Pickering, 1845. Small Octavo. Aldine edition of the British poets. In 6 volumes. Portrait frontispiece in volume one. A collection of Chaucer's poetical works along with a memoir. An exceptionally nice set. Though all the volumes appear to have been rebacked at an early date and beautifully executed.

London: Groombridge & Sons Ten volumes (of 12 published), small thick octavo, all edges gilt, original cloth, with a full complement of 64 colour printed plates and 55 tinted plates, plus many dozens of text engravings, remarkably clean internally with just the very occasional mark or small stain. The cloth bindings are original, but changed in colour and style during the course of publication and are slightly worn overall; the first five volumes are faded and bleached, the upper cover of Volume XI is stained, the spines of the last five volumes are wrinkled, and Volume VII is slightly weak at the front and rear hinges; Volumes I & IV are cracked at the front and rear hinges. Despite any faults mentioned, I feel that the internal condition is exceptional, as is the size of this run - an almost complete set - which is very unusual. VERY SCARCE.

Description:
This is a six-volume set of the complete works of James Whitcomb Riley, presented in the order that Riley composed the poems. The books show some wear at the corners and the head and tail of the spine. All have gilt on the top page edges. Volume three has a slice in the fabric over the spine and Volume two has a 1.5 cm split on the top edge. Each volume has a frontispiece (photo #7 shows the one from volume six). Hinge splits (like the one shown in photo #6) have occurred in the front of volumes 1-3 and in the rear of volume 4. Small amount of water stain along the top edge is evident in volumes 5 and 6 (see photo #8). All pages are clean, tight and unmarked. Gift inscription, dated 1914, on the front endpapers of volumes 1 and 2. This set will ship at over 9 pounds, so it is not available for international shipping. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.
