“The Iron Horse” 1924 Edwin Hill Cloth wrapped hardcover in dust wrapper
$68.00
This is a "very good-" antique cloth wrapped hardcover with black-and-white illustrated glossy frontispiece and 3 more plates internally, published by Grosset & Dunlap circa 1924.
Solid binding, original owner name (Florence M. Tibbits) neatly quilled onto front free end-paper, otherwise no writing or marks aside, hinges and gutters crisp, intact. Rear cover spine joint has loss in the depression, see images.
No torn, folded or loose pages. Board corners are crisp, back upper has a few tiny chips in the cloth; cloth on tips barely worn, if at all. Spine head and tail bumped, but cloth is not frayed. All black and white illustrations are present. Text block edges mildly tanned, no spotting, block closes flat and square. Cloth wrapping color fairly uniform front, back and spine, no significant tanning or sunning.
Matching original dust wrapper has large losses at the spine head and across to upper back cover and tail. Wear at the flap folds and corners. Relatively uniform color all around, outer surfaces tanned, inner flap folds brighter. Not pristine, but front cover is still quite nice with lush, colorful, dramatic illustrations. Now protected in a removable archival sleeve.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Wikipedia says this about the film the images are from:
The Iron Horse is a 1924 American silent Western film directed by John Ford and produced by Fox Film. It was a major milestone in Ford's career, and his lifelong connection to the western film genre. It was Ford's first major film, in part because the hastily planned production went over budget, as Fox was making a hurried response to the success of another studio's western. In 2011, this film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Will make for a great gift for that special collector or perhaps an upgrade for your collection!

$82.00
"A Doonesbury Special - A Director's Notebook", by Garry Trudeau, published by Sheed, Andrews & McMeel inc in 1978.
Signed association copy, first edition.
This large format illustrated cloth bound hardcover with original dust jacket chronicling the creation of the television special of the same name, is inscribed "For Richard Killberg with gratitude from Garry Trudeau, March 16, 1978" and also signed by the producer Faith Hubley (see images).

There is light tanning to the board edges around, and two small, approximately dime sized light spots on the back board edges, one at top and one at the bottom.

Richard Killberg was a director and producer, and he may have either had an uncredited role in the creation of the television special or Mr. Trudeau and Ms. Hubley owed him thanks for some previous assistance.

The back has a couple of 1 1/2" - 2" closed tears at the top edge with some accompanying creasing and little loss on one. No writing, some general edge wear and light tanning to white background.
