Condition: NEAR FINE. First thus. One of Muir's most accessible and delightful books, originally published in 1911 (over 40 years after this summer of 1869). It begins with a single brief paragraph dismissing the Great Central Valley - "in it there are only two seasons, spring and summer. This strikingly beautiful edition reproduces the 1988 limited edition by Yolla Bolly Press, illustrated with 12 wood engravings by Michael McCurdy and with a foreword and notes by Frederick Turner. Large format. xii, 162 pp plus colophon. Fine in a near fine dust jacket (as new, but with sunning to the spine and edges of the dust jacket, as is unfortunately common with this title).

Original Printed Wrappers. Condition: Very Good. Walter L. Huber, J.S. Hutchinson ( map of Colby Pass, Black Kaweah, and vicinity also by Hutchinson), Charles A. Noble, Jr., C.S. Tappaan, Francis P. Farquhar, Rodney L. Glisan, Frederick H. Morley, Ynez de Reygadas, E. Mallinckrodt, Jr. et al (illustrator). First Edition. San Francisco: Sierra Club, 1921. First Edition. Vol XI, No. 2, for January, 1921. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 113 pp. + unpaginated photographic plates and ads. Edge wear to wraps - from the circuit binding, or "yapp" binding, in which the covers were made larger than the page block; also, very light soil. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. Overall, Very Good or better. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to Helen Gilkey's floral rendering and a John Muir sketch, photographers for this issue include Walter L. Huber, J.S.

Single Issue Magazine. Condition: Very Good. Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris, Con L. Grover, Frederick H. Morley, Walter L. Huber, Chester Versteeg (illustrator). First Edition. San Francisco: Sierra Club, 1923. First Edition. Vol XI, No. 4, for 1923. This was published during a several-year time period when the Sierra Club did not stipulate the month of an issue, just the volume, the number, and the year - monthly designations for such an infrequent publication having always been somewhat unnecessary in any case. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 115 pp. + numerous unpaginated photographic plates, features and ads, including a fold-out map (Grouse Meadows to Vidette Meadow) and a fold-out wide-angle photograph by W.H. Wright. Gray stapled wraps, rather than the usual medium brown. Very Good; circuit binding (yapp binding) was used, in which cover edges were intentionally extended out beyond page edges, but over time the extended part becomes pressed inward somewhat (see scan). Some damage at inside front hinge area, and some spine sunning and abrasion. A handsome copy. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to the graphics mentioned above, this issue is chock full of photographic plates by the club's best photographers, as well as others, including Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris (an 1867 shot), Con L. Grover, Frederick H. Morley, Walter L. Huber, Chester Versteeg and several uncredited artists. SC2.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Drawings by Howard Pyle, Joseph Pennell, Charles Dana Gibson, others (illustrator). 1st Edition. This hefty large octavo volume, binding six monthly issues of the 19th Century magazine, is half-bound in cordovan leather over black pebbled boards, with original floral endpapers, the hinges holding well. Closes its own text block and would thus grade "very good," but we downgrade to "good plus" due to substantial wear and rub which has stripped the leather to outer corners. Notable primarily for Thomas Commerford Martin's 18-page essay on Nikola "Tesla's Oscillator and Other Inventions," with 15 illustrations including long-exposure portraits of Mark Twain and Tesla himself, each in Tesla's darkened laboratory, lit only by Tesla's incandescent and phosphorescent bulbs -- including photos of experiments in which lamps are lit "in free space by induction from coil below, energized by distant circuit around the room." This volume also includes a further three-page essay with engraved portrait or Hermann Von Helmholtz by Mr. Commerford Martin; a report with photos on the inventor Hiram Maxim's "New Flying-Machine," a complex and somewhat ramshackle steam-powered (!) construction which never seems to have actually gotten off the ground; Kate Chopin's story "Azelie" (illustrated by Eric Pope); Rudyard Kipling's nine-page story "A Walking Delegate"; comments on a proposal for "Forest Preservation by Military Control" from Frederick Law Olmstead, Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, and others; a 19-page essay on John Paul Jones by Molly Elliot Seawell, profusely illustrated by Howard Pyle; the first two parts of Harriet Waters Preston's essay "Beyond the Adriatic," illustrated by Joseph Pennell (who also illustrated Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer's "Churches of Provence"); Mrs. Van Rensselaer's "People in New York," illustrated by Charles Dana Gibson; William M. Sloane's multi-part biography of Napoleon Bonaparte; a 14-page illustrated report on "New Weapons of the United States Army" to include the Krag-Jorgensen rifle with its side-loading magazine, the Ericsson torpedo and numerous coastal defense cannon of up to 12 inches (few of which, we feel certain, were ever fired in anger); a seven page "dramatic sketch" on "The Passing of Muhammad, Prophet of Arabia" in blank verse by Sir Edwin Arnold; Edith Wharton's poem "Jade," and, on the final page, a dialect poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. This bound volume weighs slightly more than 4 lbs. -- overseas shipment could be costly. 960 pp., here reduced from $1,275.
