Soft cover. Condition: Good. This is "Wright''s Pictorial Family Almanac, 1889" . The Publisher, E. Ferrett, was the agent for the Wright Company, who manufactured Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills, which were a patent medicine - or Quack Medicine if you will - that promised to cure just about everything from the moon to the cloud…s in the sky. On the second leaf of the almanac is a handsome engraving of an Indian chief in full feathered war head dress. In the far distance behind him can be seen a side-paddle steam boat. There are ephemerides for each month of the year; these are accompanied by comic illustrations on the pages opposite., which depict mildly humorous situations and generally are quite accurate depictions of the styles of that time (1889) . One illustration features a crowd witnessing the famous tightrope walker Blondin as he balances far overhead. Blondin was an actual historic celebrity of the time, and an inclusion of a reference to him shows that the Wright company were fully aware of popular interests. Advertisements for various other patent medicines manufactured by Wright are scattered through the book. These include Roman Eye Balm, Dr. H. F. Peery's Vermifuge, or "Dead Shot" for Worms, AND DR. MCMUNN'S ELIXER OF OPIUM. The rear cover has a small paneled comic strip, "History of a stormy night and a glorious morning" , which is an ad for The Indian Vegetable Pills The almanacs were sold to druggists and dry goods stores around the country, who then distributed them gratis to their customers. Almanacs were a very common item and it was rare to find any household that did not have an almanac of some sort hanging around. There was certainly a lot to look at and read in these booklets. Now they are collectable curiosities. On the rear cover is printed the name of the druggist who gave away the almanac : Harrington & Rundle, Horseheads, NY. There is a faint over-stamp of another druggist - A. M. Corel, Horseheads - who likely took over the Harrington & Rundle business. Almanacs were almost always issued with holes through which string could be passed and looped so the almanac could be hung in a handy place. I deleted the string from our gallery picture (with the green background), but you can see it in another view we provide, in which we have left the string to view. SERIES : Yearly Almanac TITLE: Wright's Pictorial Family Almanac for 1889 IMPRINT : E. Ferritt (Agent for Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills) PLACE : 372 Pearl Street, New York DATE PRINTED : 1888 DETAILS : Pictorial paperback; contains the standard ephemerides (astrological sun, moon, and star charts); has several handsome engraved illustrations, as well as several advertisements for Wright products; 24 pages; approx. 5 1/4" x 8 1/8", pictorial wraps, stapled (two staples). On the front cover title and other lettering presented in a variety of fonts. Pictured to either side of the title are Minerva (with a helmet and spear), and Hygeia (holding a snake). Below them , at the foot of the cover is a picture of three Indians standing and sitting in front of a teepee. On the rear of the cover is an eight panel cartoon which is an ad for Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills. CONDITION -- GOOD ONLY -- This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following imperfections noted : EXTERIOR : Mouse nibble to the foot of the spine, creating a 2 inch split at the bottom of the spine (very neatly done o wee mousie!) The staples have rusted and stained the paper (really there is hardly anything left of the staples but for the small rust stains). Soft bumps to corner tips, with small crease to foot of spine. BINDING : Tender but holding - the whole still seems fairly solid. INTERIOR : Clean and free of marking. The small rust discolorations from the deceased staple follow throughout.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. This is the 1928 "Children's Annual Pitter Patter Book", the third such that was issued by the Whitman Publishing Company in Racine, Wisconsin. Whitman was one of the largest publisher's of nursery and children's books in the United States. The "Pitter Patter Books" were published annuall…y for a while. They contained a veritable treasure trove of stories, songs and activities. Some of the activities and stories were educational, and some were just outright silly and fun. Lots of illustrations, some of which were fairly sophisticated in style. On the title page is a statement of content: "The material in this Pitter Patter Book, as well as the previous Pitter Patter books, is collected from the pages of the 'Junior Home Magazine', of Chicago, the well-known children's publication. The variety, quality, and entertainment in this book is due to the excellence of that monthly periodical." The authors of various stories, poems, and articles in the book are all credited at the start of each." TITLE : The Children's Annual Pitter Patter Book (Third Annual, W688) EDITOR : Not Credited AUTHORS : Various IMPRINT : Whitman Publishing Co. PLACE : Racine, Wisconsin DATE : (1928) EDITION : First Thus STATUS : OP PHYSICAL DETAILS : Illustrated Children's Annual; 208 pages; approximately 6" x 7 3/4"; color - pictorial paper-covered boards. (Wrap around illustration depicting a little boy and girl with their pet dog sailing down a stream in a little boat, past a family of bears having a picnic). Interior reproduction of illustrations is crude. The printing of the text is similarly primitive. CONDITION -- GOOD ONLY -- Clean and intact with wear that is partly production - related, and partially from the previous owner . The reproduction of the pictures was low quality, as you can see, and varied in printing quality from page to page. Also the paper used was of a low grade, and thus all copies found of this book have paper that is considerably toned. So that is what collectors have to deal with, and what is left is nostalgia and memory, and the hopes that previous owners were not overly rough when handling the book. This copy fared fairly well; I spotted a few pages that had been marked (One that was crayoned we've provided a picture - and another that seems to display pencil erasures (Funny Face page): again we've shown , but for the most part the interior is clean and presentable, with the following noted :: EXTERIOR -- Creasing and small splitting along the front joint; spine extremities compressed and chipped; board corner tips are bumped; there are what look to be small spots of pinkish water color paint in the center of the front board (this is not so egregious in appearance as it might seem (see picture). No marks on rear cover. Surface rub is moderate. BINDING -- As solid as can be hoped. No leaves are detached or loose. INTERIOR -- The paper is unavoidably toned (browned). This is a production effect, and all copies found will be so toned. I spotted a couple of instances of page use: an owl is colored in (see picture ), and the funny face page seems to have pencil erasures (again, see picture ). For the most part the interior is clean. This collector's book as a whole must be considered fragile, and would certainly no longer be suitable for use by a child. It is a collectible relic from the past. book, antique childrens book, Childrens Annual Pitter Patter Book , 1928 First Edition, Whitman Publishing Company , Third Annual Volume , Activity Book, Stories songs poems, puzzles and mazes, poems and songs, Nursery Book , Nursery fantasies.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. "Gold Coin and Gold Medal Illustrated Almanac for 1883 : Facts for Farmers" was published by Bussey & McLeod's Stove Company in Troy New York. This copy was distributed gratis by Childs & Jones Company at 84 Genesee Street, Utica NY. The Bussey and McLeod Stove Company made both cooking and heating s…toves and ranges. On the front cover is a small, bird's eye picture of the stove factory at Troy. On the rear cover is a detailed engraving depicting one of their stoves : "The Gold Coin High Art and Low Feed Base Heating Parlor Stove" Throughout the almanac are ephemerides, giving sun and moon positions and various astronomical facts. Accompanying each month's chart are lovely engraved scenes which reflect the changing seasons. These are beautiful and depict people going about seasonal work - and also, recreation. Pictured are farmers seeding, fruit being harvested, boys fishing and swimming. There is one rather intricate engraving displaying a mill wheel and stream, with a young man and boy fishing at the site. There is an interesting engraving showing hops being harvested. Around here we are now seeing some farms that have taken up growing hops once again - something one did not see for years, and , it seems, there is little difference in the old and modern methods of growing the crop. The pictures depict spring, summer , fall and winter. After the ephemerides section there are various brief essays and tidbits about a great variety of subjects, amongst some of the are Facts for Farmers. The engravings continue : there are handsome portraits of pretty young women, foreign cities (a Thames embankment), old churches, country side scenery (there is a handsome engraving of Otsego Lake in Upstate New York). One picture shows a rather antiquated scaffolding being used to construct a rather large urban building. There are a great many vignette engravings, as well as full page pictures, and lots of curious or entertaining facts which makes this almanac a real pleasure to browse through. SERIES : Yearly Almanac TITLE : Gold Coin and Gold Medal Illustrated Almanac for 1883 : Facts for Farmers IMPRINT : Bussey and McLeod Stove Company PLACE : Troy, New York DATE PRINTED : 1882 STATUS : OP - Rare DETAILS : Pictorial Paperback; numerous engraved pictures, full-page and vignette; 48 pages (unpaginated); 5" x 8"; pictorial wraps, stapled and glued (2 staples). On the front cover : decorative lettering, amidst which is nestled a picture of the Troy foundry, placed as if pinned to a wall, with a sprig of green stuck behind it. ( An interesting attempt at 'Trompe-l'œil'). At the foot of the cover is the name of the store that distributed the almanac gratis to customers. (Child and Jones, 84 Genesee St., Utica NY). The rear cover is devoted to an advertisement for one of the company's stoves, as is the reverse side of the rear cover and the inside of the front cover. The title page also features an engraving of a stove. CONDITION -- GOOD ONLY -- This is a previously owned book that has seen considerable use and has survived in a somewhat rough condition, with the following most obvious imperfections noted : EXTERIOR - Mouse nibbles to foot of spine; soft bumps to corners; creasing and small edge tears and nicks; a small ink stain displays near the bottom of the spine fold; the rear cover has a stain of indeterminate origin (Looks like a cross between foxing and smudging, and extends through the paper's fibers to the reverse side). The rear cover also has a tear extending from the spine fold (about 3 inches from top) Cover surface is darkened and smudged, with general obvious weathering. BINDING : Tender. The staples have become detached from a few leaves, but none of the leaves have come free (although their attachment is tenuous) INTERIOR : Scattered smudging, a few edge tears , mild scattered foxing. Interior is basically clean and presentable. This seems to be the only copy available on line.

Soft cover. Condition: Fair. "Our Picture Book" a children's paperback collection of brief nursery stories, songs and poems, was issued by the Sunshine Publishing Company in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The sewn booklet has color lithograph covers, and is illustrated throughout with engraved pictures. The book was intended to be g…iven gratis to customers by various businesses - who elected to purchase the rights of distribution, which purchase guaranteed advertisements for them , not only on the cover, but within the pages of the book. Thus we see that this copy was distributed by Jerome Kennedy and Co., one of the leading clothiers in Providence Rhode Island. A full page ad for Jerome Kennedy & Co. includes a handsome engraving of the company's business at 120 Westminster St. and Nos. 41 and 43 Dorrance St. in Providence. The building no longer stands, and the street numbers seem to have changed. The book also has advertisements for another business concern. On the inside of the rear cover is a full page ad for T. Kingsford & Son, manufacturers of Kingsford's Oswego Pure & Silver Gloss Starch for the Laundry. Also promoted in the same ad is Kingsford's Pulverized Corn Starch (for puddings, blanc mange, cakes, etc.). Kingsford was located in Oswego NY; the inside of the front cover also has an advertisement for Kingsford & Sons which consists of positive testimonials. We have provided images of some of the ads . and some of the material meant for children. TITLE : Our Picture Book AUTHOR : Not given IMPRINT : Sunshine Publishing Co. PLACE : Philadelphia, Pennsylvania DATE : No Date [ but circa 1885] STATUS : RARE . OP DETAILS : Slim paperback booklet with color lithograph cover. On the front cover a mother holds open a gigantic book of the same title, while her four children investigate. The children - three toddlers - are dressed for play and there is a toy horse on a wheeled platform. A Little boy has a newspaper hat with a bevy of ostrich feathers stuck in it. His sisters have a basket and a baby carriage. The mother hold the youngest, which is only a baby; but the baby is also interested in the giant book. It's a lovely image. On the rear cover two children are peeking from behind a blanket hung - as if for a children's theatrical presentation. A cat lies on the foot of the blanket. Again a very lovely image. Both images are color lithographs. The business name of Jerome Kennedy & Co. graces each picture. There are numerous line engraved pictures for children in the book; The single song in the book is a gospel song ("The Unfinished Prayer") that has music which was obviously written for an adult; the book has 18 unnumbered pages (pagination includes cover exteriors); approximately 8" x 9 3/4", sewn wraps. CONDITION . ROUGH - FRAGILE - FAIR. The entire book, which is complete, is quite fragile and hanging together, literally, by a thread. The cover is partially detached and some of the interior leaves are separated from the whole; there is an old tape mend extending up a tear from the bottom of the front cover (This shows through the paper as a discoloration or darkening. The front cover's attachment to the book is tenuous, being , for the most part separated for most of the spine fold's length. The edges of both the cover and the interior leaves are tattered - chipped and torn. There is no writing or crayon marks . No signatures. etc. However there are a few smudges, spots and or scuffs, etc.

Four pages, 4to, fold marks, discoloration, some damage with minor loss of text. "My Dear Sir/ Pressed as you are by more important business, it demands apology from me, to intrude any foreign matter on your time and attention - Your wonted kindness is my least & only apology - The business of , in which I am here engaged, is ve…ry pleasant, & I will add, lucrative, so far as it goes [underlined from so]; but, as you are doubtless aware, it does not go far enough [underlined from it]:- in other words, it leaves too large a portion of the year unemployed - Now, according to my notions, the interval betwen May and Oct. is too great for Holiday purposes, and yet, I have no specific means of filling up this hiatus - To be sure, I could, as some have hinted, fill up my time with the sale of coals & other articles which may be brought up to my very door by a navigable river; but then I should interfere with the young Salmons, who have recently (since the failure of their father) set up in this business and to take the bread out of their mouth, however indifferent they may be to me, is what I own I could not do, that I am now occupying the very station, which, but for misconduct, not not their own perhaps, they once occupied [page 2] themselves - What I wish to consult you on, is this. A good Farmer's paper is wnted - The Farmer's Journal (never so good as it might have been made) is now merged in Bell's Weekly Messenger; a huge mass of Tory materials, badly arranged, and evidently conducted without a particle of Agricultural Skill - It is, like some other things of the kind, you & I have known: a mere mercantile Speculation. Bad as it is, it is the best, I may say, the only farming paper we have - Surely something of the kind might be advantageously started - I wish you would mention the subject to our friend Chadwick, or Richd. Taylor (who prints several of these Weekly Papers) and let me know if I can be of any service (still living in the Country of course) in such an undertaking - Mr. C. and I had at one time much conference about Editn. of the Examre. - In broaching the matter to you, I should wish for your co-operation & assistance - Don't you think such a thing would be more likely to take than the Magazine you spoke of & [inserted] I should fear, the would damp the public appetite for this description of knowledge - Do not think for one moment, I am urged by necessity [underlined from by] to strike out another line of business - My Income is amply sufficient for me & mine: but thetruth is, [page 3] I see no reason why, if I can earn in 6 months a maintenance for 12, that therefore [underlined] I shd by idle for the remaining 6 - All I wish is Employment, with, of course, a moderate, & but a moderate [underlined from first moderate], remuneration for such labour as I may be able to bring into the undertaking - My name is of no value, but I own, it would acquire [excision] honor by being associated with that of Loudon - either in this or in any other literary [inserted] speculation _ Do not think me pre[su]mptious in harbouring this Idea - I thi[nk] we might be mutually serviceable to each other - Of this be assured - The hope & the wish to render you [underlined] service, operate fully as much as the desire to serve myself in this matter -/ I thank youfor the trouble you have had about Howden's Gate - I recd one [underlined] set of the Irons last monday: but, wanting another, (there being two [underlined] gates to fit up) I wrote to Cottam & Hallem stating as much, & also requesting them, if possible, to cast the part by which the rack is screwed on the back of the gate [underlined from on], an Inch narrower - My gates being barely 3 inches wide at this part, & the irons being 4 inches wide - I will settle the cost when I next go to London [page 4] There are no secrets in this Lre - Perhaps you will not object to letting Mr. Chadwick see it, as the shortest mode of proceeding - From either him or you I shall be ahppy to hear a.
