Sobre este artículo
Alexandria, Virginia: Time Life Books, 1981. A gorgeous copy. Bright, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. No corner bumps. Previous owner's blind-stamp. No remainder mark. Fresh and crisp, apparently never read. The binding on this copy is GENUINE LEATHER, superior to the cheaper leatherette (imitation leather) found on later printings. Although at first glance, new leatherette can look a lot like leather, it does not age as gracefully in the long run. Laid-in is a letter from the publisher, which says in part: "This leather-bound volume..." [The reference to "leather" was removed from the letter laid-in later imitation leather-bound copies]. The binding is gilt stamped, and embossed with a handsome western motif (including rising sun, longhorn steer, tomahawk, and six shooter/bullets). A silk ribbon page-marker is sewn into the headband. All edges gilt. Attractive marbled endpapers. Howes D345 [Final Edition D355]: "Not only the first, but textually the most important book ever printed in Montana." Subtitle: Being a Correct and Impartial Narrative of the Chase, Trial, Capture and Execution of Henry Plummer's Road Agent Band, Together with Accounts of the Lives and Crimes of Many of the Robbers and Desperadoes, the Whole Being Interspersed with Sketches of Life in the Mining Camps of the "Far West.". Facsimile reprint of 1866 first edition.. Hardcover. Very Fine condition/No dust jacket, as issued.. 8vo. 228pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
