Description:
New York: Antiquarian Press, 1959 2 volumes. Reprint of the excessively rare 1895 first edition. One of 550 copies. New introduction by J. Frank Dobie. Folio. 12x8¾ inches. 743pp. (paginated continuously) plus colored frontispiece and numerous illustrations, mostly from photographs. Blind and gilt-stamped cowhide, gilt over brown buckram. A very fine, as new set with matching publisher's slipcase. Includes the new introduction by J. Frank Dobie. "One of the `Big Four' cattle books, and after Freeman's Prose and Poetry, the most important on the subject. The book contains a great wealth of information, and is a cornerstone in any range library ... Supposedly most of the first edition was destroyed in a warehouse fire, hence its rarity today. It is a vital and useful book" (Reese). [Howes II: C-826; McVicker: B-114; Reese, Six-Score: 24]. [For the first edition, see: Adams, Herd: 593; Dobie: p.100; Dykes, Kid: 29; Graff: 891; Howes I: C-820; Howes II: C-826; Vandale: 44]..

Description:
First Edition. 743 pp. Illustrated with b&w plates (color frontispiece not present, but unclear if it was issued with all copies). Folio, (12¼x9"), full brown leather stamped blind and in gilt, all edges marbled. Expertly rebacked with original spine laid down; lacking frontispiece, pages remarkably clean, with just a few pages with light soiling; very good or better. Inscribed by George W. Conover, whose biography is featured on pp. 661-62. Key text on the history of the cattle industry: "One of the 'big four' cattle books... no collector's library would be complete without it..." - Adams. Adams calls the 1895 first edition "very rare," and notes that nearly all of that edition was lost in a warehouse fire. Jenkins notes that the work was first "conceived as a mug book to be sold primarily to the people whose biographies appeared in it, the final published book contained so much of value on the cattle industry that it has become a classic in its field." This copy is a prime example of the vanity…

Calf, stamped in gilt and blind, [1], 743 pp., colored frontispiece, illustrated, plates, portraits, index to historical section, index to biographies, index to illustrations. Colored frontispiece by Gean Smith. BTB 34 says it best "This compendium on Texas cattle and cattlemen is also one of the rarest Texas books. J. Frank Dobie once said: 'In 1928 I traded a pair of store-bought boots to my Uncle Neville Dobie for his copy of this book. A man would have to throw in a young Santa Gertrudis bull now to get a copy.' Conceived as a mug book to be sold primarily to the people whose biographies appeared in it, the final published book contained so much of value on the cattle industry that it has become a classic in its field. Nearly 400 pages are devoted to biographies of some 449 Texas cattlemen, and these sketches are a goldmine for research into the cowboy and cattle…
