Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Very minor edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£12.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall an excellent copy. Lavishly illustrated, 161pp. For nearly two hundre…d and fifty years that small village just over the border in south-west Scotland has captured the attention and imagination of journalists and romantics everywhere. Many has been the time when the nation held its breath and silently cheered-on a young couple racing to Gretna Green to marry, with an irate and outraged father in hot pursuit. Will love triumph? The stories of eloping lovers come from all walks of life, and from all parts of Britain, Europe and indeed the world. In 1782, Sarah Anne Child (mother of the egregious Lady Jersey, patroness of Almacks), the immensely wealthy heiress of Childs Bank, eloped with John Fane, Earl of Westmorland, with her furious parents close behind. Edward Gibbon Wakefield abducted fifteen-year-old Ellen Turner and huntsman John Peel married his 'bonny Mary White'. Chancellors, MPs, princes, artistocrats, the famous and the not-so-famous travelled to Gretna to plight their troth and defy convention and authority. There were charlatans and scoundrels, bigamists and outlandish characters, but nothing can obscure the true spirit of love and romance which has highlighted the village right through time to the present day. With a sparkling blend of fascinating history and heart-rending anecdotes, Olga Sinclair recreates the exciting and sometimes tragic stories of runaway romance that will delight lovers the world over.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A First UK edition of this book. Considering age, this book is in very condition; some marking to boards and dulling to spine but otherwise tight, bright within. Our Mr. Wrenn: The Romantic Adventures of a Gentle Man is a 1914 novel by Sinclair Lewis. It was the first novel to be p…ublished under his real name, though he had previously written a juvenile novel under a pseudonym. While not as famous as his later, more satirical works like Main Street or Babbitt, the novel offers early insights into Lewis's style and themes of identity and discontent.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st. Cloth, 262 pages, illustrations. 24 cm. ASSOCIATION-PRESENTATION COPY. Signed and warmly inscribed by the author, "To Upton Sinclair, after an unbroken lifelong friendship from Martin Birnbaum". Numbered "6" of 500 copies printed on handmade paper. Dust jack…et, price-clipped on the front flap, protected in a mylar cover. Author Upton Sinclair, famous for The Jungle and other works of fiction, then gifted or loaned the book to another close friend Richard Stuart Otto, who managed Sinclair's run for Governor of California in 1934. A handwritten note from Sinclair to "Dick" signed by "Upton", is pasted onto the front free endpaper. Also inserted: a handwritten letter from Birnbaum, dated 1961, to Otto, thanking him for corresponding with him about the book. Martin Birnbaum (1878-1970) was a New York art dealer with an aristocratic background. He boasts in this book: "I was probably the first person in America to purchase or exhibit the works of such men as Lehmbruck, Kokoschka, Gargalo, Feininger, Klee, Pascin, Ensor, Munch and others." In a New York Times obituary of Birnbaum, Upton Sinclair is referred to as "an old friend and City College class mate." Size: 8vo. SIGNED. Collectible.
