Book
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Fine condition faux red leather boards with elaborately illustrated gold front cover perimeter and spine decorations, gold front cover lettering, and gold spine lettering over a black block border. Includes Editor's Comment and Acknowledgments. Major chapter headings are as follows: Wisdom; Benjamin Franklin; History; Beauty; and Business. "Sometimes it seems almost futile to try to write anything new because it has all been said before - and so well said. Of course, any such defeatism must lead to a dead end of accomplishment in terms of literary effort. Fortunately for the living and those to come, there are many bright new stars on the panel of contemporary writers. They are skillfully telling the story of these eventful days and their words will be read with relish by future generations. In fact, the printed word today is so prolific, and the competition with the book, the magazine and the newspaper is so great, future generations will require anthologies in great number to know what our bright literary stars have said. In this anthology there has bee no effort to be erudite, consistent, unusual or educational. The prime purpose is to amuse by exposing the reader to many things he has read before and may wish to read again. Perhaps that poem he [or she] HAD to learn, to pass freshman English, is here. He may even enjoy rereading it under different auspices. It is not possible to include only those things that appeal to him. If he dislikes poetry in any form, we hope he will please forgive us. Some of us like the "well-turned couplet." On the other hand, there are those who love Shakespeare, but just cannot understand how his hallowed words should appear with some of the more commonplace choices that have arrived in this selection. It takes all kinds you know - and we have tried to select all kinds of literature." - excerpt from Editor's Comment.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Presumed 1st Edition. Maroon boards with gilt titling on a black block to the spine. No dustjacket. this ? may? be a 'doctored' ex library copy as there are traces of something rubbed off the spine (? white tippex numbers? ) and No publisher's detail at the foot of the spine. Internally the inner hinges are strengthened with linen neatly, but again traces of a bookplate or similar having been removed from the front pastedown o/w the book is free of any marks and there are NO inscriptions, labels, stamps or similar. There is only a copyright date given but from other descriptions I am assuming that this is a First US edition. 320 pp. Illustrated in b/w. Epilogue & Appendix. " John Foster joined the US Navy early in 1942 and, after transferring to the marines and completing flight training, he joined the newly formed VMF222, the "Flying Deuces," at Midway. After a brief stop at Guadalcanal's Henderson Field, the squadron went into action at Munda and there began an odyssey which was to last until the end of World War II and which was to take the men of the Flying Deuces from Munda to Vella Lavella (where the Deuces participated in the first fighter sweep over Rabaul) to Bougainville, to the Green Islands, to Samar and finally to Okinawa. John Foster fought side by side with some of the great Heroes of the war - Pappy Boyington, Joe Foss, Robert Hanson, Zeke Swett and many others - and he records their personalities and exploits." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. A compilation of nine disparately published titles from various publishers (detailed below), which a previous owner bound together roughly contemporary to their publication. There is a list of each book inked at front paste down, dated 1848, only two years following the date of publication of the newest of these books, which so seems likely as the approximate date that the compilation was bound together. Black half-leather, marbled paper boards - scuffed, scratched, with heavy edgewear frayed to boards. Spine rebacked with a fairly unobtrusive hinges repair which preserves most of the original leather. Interior hinges cracked; binding else intact. Dampstaining to top margin of first few pages; these pages are also foxed, with the foxing continuing only sporadically throughout the volume. Contents listing inked to front paste down, with additional bibliographic note in heavy pencil at FFEP; sparse marginal notation in pencil; interior else clean of prior owner's notes. Please inquire if interested. Photographs available upon request. The nine titles are: (1) Williams, John. A Narrative of Missionary Enterprises in the South Sea Islands. London: John Snow, 1840. (2) Moffat, Richard. Missionary Labours and Scenes in Southern Africa. London: John Snow, 1846. (3) Hall, Basil. Narrative of a Voyage to Java, China and the Great Loo-Choo Island. London: Edward Moxon, 1846. (4) No Author Given (Thomas de Quincey). Confessions of an English Opium Eater, 5th Edition. Publisher Unknown, 1821. (However, it does appear possible that it is the same uncredited publisher as in the following two volumes). (5) Voltaire. The History, Life and Campaigns of Charles the Twelfth, King of Sweden. Publisher and Date Unknown. (6) Bryant, William Cullen. Poems. Publisher Unknown, ca 1820. (7) Dymond, Jonathan. Essays on the Principles of Morality. London: Charles Gilpin, 1843. (8) Guizot, M. General History of Civilization in Europe. Edinburgh: William and Robert Chambers, 1839. (9) Foster, John. An Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance.
