Tallish 8vo; (iv), 174, (vi), 220 pages. Note: The Three Scouts was published after Cudjo's Cave, and here has been misbound before it - Three Scouts before Cudjo. Both titles have a title and contents page. This copy has a leaf of binder's directions for the two titles, which was not followed! And this copy has a fine colored frontispiece of three sailors in a small boat adrift in a choppy sea. Bound in dark green cloth with an all-over pattern in what is termed 'scalloped tile' style. See Krupp Bookcloth, page44, W3. Spine with gilt title. Reference: BAL 20413 (note); Topp Victorian Yellowbacks II, see 550, 566, and 579. A very scarce and curious copy of a Civil War (aka War between the States) classic.

Store description
I have been an antiquarian book, autograph, mss, book related art and poster dealer for some 50 years. I am a graduate of Northwestern University. I was an associate of Hamill & Barker in Chicago, then manager/buyer for Marshall Field's fine Rare Book, map, print, poster, book related art, autograph and mss dept. for seven years. Sole prop. of Richard Cady Rare Books first in NY, then Chicago, and for the last 25 years in Prescott, Arizona. My bibliography and reference library consists of some 1500 volumes. My stock is about the same size. Fine selection of books about books, fine turn-of-the-century publisher's trade bindings, English and American literature, Raj India, southwest Americana, the English and American 1890s period, and rare and interesting books in all fields. I am a stickler on condition. And having been an antiquarian bookseller for over 50 years now I am beginning to entertain booksellers' inquiries re: my reference library, stock, book related posters and prints, and a large number of five-stack, glass front, Globe Wernicke book cases.…
