Three Animal Fables Selected from Aesop.
(Thorsons Publishers, 1930)
This is a second copy of this delightful book. Its binding is blue rather than gray and is appreciably stronger. So I have made a second record and will keep both in the collection. This copy has a strange scent: a ...
Three Animal Fables Selected from Aesop.
(Thorsons Publishers, 1930)
A delightful find. The pages are not numbered, and the binding is weak. Alternating black-and-white and color illustrations. The lion and hare drawings sometimes end up slightly odd. LM features a Do not disturb sign ...
Favole Esopiche
(A.F. Formiggini EditoreKarolis F. Formiggini, 1930)
The great claim of this book is that it presents all of del Tuppo's illustrations for the fables. It is a pleasure to find this paperbound book in fair to good condition. The printing of the illustrations is not superior ...
The Aesop's Fables
(Xianggang qi ming shu ju, 1930)
This is a rare, ephemeral find! This 5 x 7 1/4 soft-cover paperbound book has some 290 pages. Each of 299 fables is printed in English on the left side and in Chinese characters on the right side. I cannot identify the ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Books Inc.,, 1930)
Here is a book interiorly very close to another Art-Type version for which I have also guessed a date of 1930. This copy has a green cloth cover instead of the brown-and-blue faux grain of the first copy. It has no ...
Aesop's Fables No. 1
(W.H.C., 1930)
This is a curious little landscape pamphlet with paper wraps and twelve very thin interior pages. On both covers a dapper cigar-smoking mouse faces a country hick mouse with a shepherd's crook. After the inside front ...
Aesop's Fables
(Homewood Publishing Company, 1930)
A curious melange. The text appears to be identical with that in Cassell's Aesop's Fables (1893/1893?) illustrated by Griset and in Hurst's The Book of Fables (1899?), also illustrated by Griset. The author, unacknowledged ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Books Inc.,, 1930)
This straightforward volume has several claims. It contains a large number of fables, perhaps 275, listed alphabetically on xi. In the introduction, J.W.M. makes the claim we believe this to be the first full English ...
Aesop's Fables
(W.B. Conkey, 1930)
This book is absolutely identical with the Homewood edition (1930?) of the same title except for the presence here of a frontispiece colored from Billinghurst's The Fox and the Goat. That same colored illustration ...
The Subtyl Historyes and Fables of Esope.
(The Grabhorn Press, 1930)
What a wonderful find! I had seen it a couple of months earlier for $550 at the San Francisco International Book Dealers' show. Slight round stain on the cover. This book presents the first six books of Caxton's work, ...
