This is a “very good plus” or better vintage hardcover in painted comb pattern decorated cloth wrapped boards with cloth head and tail bands in binding, published circa 1954 by the Heritage Press, numerous color illustrations, 210 pages, with matching, as issued slipcase. The binding and hinges are crisp. Unadorned front and back paste downs show some mild foxing at the gutter. No writing or marks. No loose, torn or folded pages. Board corners are crisp, not bumped, perhaps the slightest hint of wear at the very tips. The spine and boards are uniform in color. All text block edges are uniform with some mild tanning. Accompanying paper wrapped, heavy board slipcase is solid, no split seams. Generally free of marks or surface wear. There is a moisture stain at the bottom edge that wraps around to lower edge of both vertical sides, otherwise, quite clean. See accompanying images for full condition details of this wonderfully gorgeous vintage copy of Cyrano. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.

Japanese Flower Arrangement [Ike-Bana] Applied to Western Needs 1914 Mary Averill First edition, 2nd printing Illustrated vintage hardcover
First edition, second printing, being just 3 months after the first printing, as stated on the title page verso. This book is complete, and has a solid binding, with at least two pages disconnected: the frontispiece with its protector and page 169/170. As such, those pages' outer edges are chipped. The boards show a fair amount of edge wear, with all of the corners' wrapping paper worn through to the underlying boards. There is no writing, no folded pages, the text block closes tightly and is square. This book will need to be handled carefully as the pages are fairly brittle with age. There is a decorative ex-libris book plated affixed to the front pastedown and a diminutive bookseller label on the lower edge of the back pastedown - "Brentano's Booksellers and Stationers New York" - which is fun. Fair amount of wear on the head and tail of the spine cloth, gilt lettering on the spine is fairly crisp and complete. Not a perfect book, but still very charming and content is not impacted. See accompanying images for further condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
