Aesop's Fables
(Harper & Brothers, 1927)
I had found what I thought to be a first edition of this book earlier from Greg Williams. This copy is, like that, a pictorial black cloth octavo with a colored frontispiece and three other full-page colored illustrations. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Harper & Brothers, 1927)
This book is very similar to two others in the collection. All show a publication date of 1927. Like the Ten Editions book, this edition states First Edition with Louis Rhead's Pictures. Unlike either of those books, ...
Aesop's Fables
(Robert B. Collins, 1848)
Here is yet a third version of what may be the first American edition of the Tenniel and James book. Earlier I had found versions with black and red embossed covers. This version has a plainer brown cloth cover. Only ...
Ezop Masallari
(Dilek Matbaası, 1990)
Here is an 80-page children's paperback in very poor condition. Just enough remains of the title-page to know that it was published in Istanbul in 1990. There are no internal illustrations. If there was a T of C, it ...
Fables d'Ésope, Ornées de Cent Huit Figures d'apres Barlow, Tomes Premier et Second
(Chez Gueffier jeuneChez Guefflier jeune, 1801)
This is a landscape-formatted presentation of 107 fables, with two title-pages but just one frontispiece. The frontispiece makes a good comparison point with the frontispiece for Barlow's original 1666 version. The lion ...
De wolf en het lam en 10 andere fabels van Aesopus
(Uitgeverj J.H. Gottmer, 2009)
Here is a Dutch reprint of The Rabbit and the Turtle: Aesop's Fables Retold and Illustrated by Eric Carle, first printed in 1976 with a different cover. The information facing the title-page seems to indicate that some ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources.
(John Murray, 1867)
This little book, marked as the third edition, is almost identical with my 1867/74 Murray edition. This copy lists a first edition in 1874 and a second in 1898. See my comments under 1867/74. I will note the differences ...
Aesop's Fables
(Collins & Brother, 1848)
This beautiful book with gilt-embossed green cover (FS) and spine is clearly in the family represented by the 1848/48? edition from Collins and Brother. It shares with that edition the limitation to more than fifty ...
Aesop's Fables
(Harper & Brothers, 1927)
Here is a very curious book. I had not known of it until I saw a copy advertised through Old Friends in Portland for $130. At almost the same time, Greg mentioned it to me from a computer listing of his. Pictorial black ...
Aisopou Mythoi: Aesop's Fables and His Life
(George Rangaves, Artisan, 1991)
This has to be one of the more curious books in this collection. First of all, the book breaks between Aesop's life and his fables for a brief presentation, with two pasted-in colored photographs, of Holy Week celebrations ...
