From Small Town to Downtown / History of the Jewett Car Company 1893-1919 by
Lawrence A. Brough & James H. Graebner Publisher: Indiana University Press 2004
Description: The Jewett Car Company was born in the heyday of the electric railway boom in
the 1890s. The company gained an excellent reputation for its elegant, well-built wooden cars
for street railway companies, interurban lines, and rapid transit service. Many Jewett cars
found their way to Indiana and many of the interurban lines employed the graceful, arch-
windowed wood interurban that Jewett was famous for. Automobile competition and the
New $85.00
problems of competing with much larger car builders, such as J.G. Brill and the St. Louis Car
Company, signaled the beginning of the end. The company was offered the opportunity to
produce munitions for World War I, but refused. The reason: the major source of finance for
Jewett was a German nationalist banker from Wheeling, WV, who refused to have the
company do anything to harm Germany. As a direct result, the Jewett Car Company failed.

Iowa's Last Narrow-gauge Railroad by James Shaffer, John Tigges Description: Arcadia
Publishing (SC), 2006. Paperback. When talk began circulating in 1848 about the importance
of railroads, the people of Cascade grew anxious. Without direct access to navigable rivers
other than the Mississippi over 36 miles away, their community could very well fade from
existence. They needed a railroad as soon as possible. The idea raced forward, with the
backing of the Chicago, Clinton, Dubuque and Minnesota Railroad Company, which ran along NEW $20.00

Nothing Like it In The World - The Men Who Built The Transcontinental Railroad 1863-

Description: SIGNED BY STEPHEN E. AMBROSE. This is the story of the men who built the

AUTHOR NOTES: Ambrose published his first book, the biography of General Henry Halleck,
in 1962. Fewer than 1, 000 copies were printed, however the book found its way into the hands
of Dwight Eisenhower. The former president so enjoyed the book that he phoned Ambrose to
tell him. That call led to Ambrose becoming Ike's official biographer, as well as the editor of his NEW $175.00

and political worlds in his writing career. His titles include: Band of Brothers, Custer & Crazy
Horse, Lewis & Clark, The Victors, Americans at War, Rise to Globalism, Undaunted Courage,
The Wild Blue, The Good Fight, Ike's Spys, Eisenhower, Nixon - Triumph of a Politician,

West Virginia Narrow Gauge - Mann's Creek Railway by Ron Lane and Ted Schnepf
Published by TLC Publishing 1999 First Edition Description: As a tiny narrow-gauge railroad
with a mere 40 miles of track, Mann's Creek gained a considerable reputation in the 1950s for
its adherence to steam power. With a connection to the Chesapeake & Ohio's mainline deep in
the West Virginia mountains, Mann's Creek operated from 1873 to 1956, and carried large
amounts of coal and timber for shipment over the C&O. Today, Mann's Creek appeals to
modern enthusiasts for several reasons: it was a narrow gauge line, its tiny Shay locomotives
hauled both coal and timber in a remote and mountainous region, and shared dual-gauge F $155.00
tracks with some of the largest locomotives ever built. The authors spent more than 30 years
researching Mann's Creek, coming up with one of the most cogently written and detailed
studies ever published on the life, work, and culture of a mountain railroad. Ideal for narrow-
gauge modelers, rail fans, and historians alike. Illustrations include more than 300 rare
photographs, maps, and detailed drawings of cars and structures. Fine (About New with

Special "Gone With The Wind" Collection

Several years ago, we had the honor of briefly owning a segment of the D.O. Selznick International Pictures Research
Library. We are again privileged to offer for sale several of these priceless treasures on behalf of their current owners. These
important books were used as research materials for the classic film Gone With The Wind - a film which earned David O.
Selznick the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1940. Apparently, word of these important books reached entertainer Michael
Jackson last summer. Michael expressed a very strong desire to purchase five of these books for his personal GWTW
collection. (The centerpiece of Michael's collection is Selznick's Best Picture Oscar, for which the King of Pop had paid more
than $1.5 million.) We tendered his generous offer to the current owner and it was immediately accepted. Unfortunately,
Michael passed away before the transaction could be completed. However, it did establish a meaningful value for these
important examples from the D.O. Selznick Library, placing them well beyond the reach of all but a handful of the most ardent
of GWTW collectors. It is for this reason that we prefer not to publish specific asking prices. We are the sole agent for these
great treasures. Only serious GWTW collectors need ask to view these books. We trust that you will honor our client's wishes.
Thank you.

History of Homes and Gardens of Tennessee by Roberta Seawell Brandau Description:

This is a 1936 FIRST EDITION, limited to 1500 copies, compiled by the Garden Study Club of
Nashville with Mrs. John Trotwood Moore, collaborating. Excerpt from foreword, 'It was the
realization of the immediate importance of the project which prompted the Garden Study Club
of Nashville to undertake the task of collecting and preserving the records of the early gardens
of Tennessee. As the research progressed it was realized that the history of Tennessee
gardens was so closely interwoven with the history of Tennessee homes that to separate them
was to lose something very precious, and so the original plan was expanded to include both.
The making of this volume -- begun as a patriotic service -- will have been justified if it serves
in a small way to stimulated an interest in the new, and to rekindle an appreciation of the old,
which will lead to the preservation and restoration of the homes and gardens of Tennessee.'

comprehensive treatise on the art and science of surgery, considered in the broadest sense;
one that shall serve the practitioner as a faithful and available guide in his daily routine of duty.
My aim has been to embrace the whole domain of surgery, and to allot to every subject its
legitimate claim to notice in the great family of external diseases and accidents. If a larger
space than is customary has been devoted to the consideration of inflammation and its effects,
or the great principles of surgery, it is because of my conviction, founded upon long and close
observation, that there are no subjects so little understood by the general practitioner. Special
attention has also been bestowed upon the discrimination of diseases; and an elaborate
chapter on general diagnosis has been introduced. The Work, although presented, as its title VG $795.00
indicates, as a formal and systematic treatise, is founded upon the courses of lectures which it
devolved upon me to deliver during the last forty two years; first in the University of Louisville,
for a long time the most flourishing medical school in the Southwest, and during the last twenty
six years in the Jefferson Medical College, from which, in 1828, I received my degree." Two
large, thick, and very heavy Quarto - sized hardcover books. No missing pages, no writing or
markings in the text, no ownership markings, small "Saunders Medical Books, Phila". label

The Holy Bible … with Illustrations by Gustave Doré published by Cassell, Petter and
Galpin circa 1867-1868 First Edition Morocco leather bound folio in Two Volumes
Description: This two-volume bible, both Old and New Testaments, displays the pinnacle of
Gustave Dore's art. It is profusely illustrated with more than 220 full page engraved plates,
and bound in hand-tooled morocco leather with gilt trim. The content grades Fine with VG
bindings that exhibit wear at their extremities which does not detract from the overall beauty of
this magnificent tribute to God's word and His creation. This is a beautiful compendium of the
very best of Gustave Doré's artistic renderings which showcases his copious illustrative talents.
Doré was born in Strassburg in 1832 and moved to Paris in 1848, where his facility as a
draughtsman was proclaimed as "extraordinary‖. Doré was a very prolific worker whose
No Photo VG $1,295.00
subjects were most often religious or historical in nature. NOTE: Cassell, Petter & Galpin
announced the purchase of the English copyright to Doré's Holy Bible in 1865 with the original
parts in English to be published beginning in January 1866. Although dates are never found in
these rare sets, it is most likely that this particular set was printed between 1867 and 1868.
Cassell Petter & Gilpin was a publisher that existed only between 1858 and 1878, after which
time they were known as Cassell Petter Gilpin & Company. Furthermore, publisher's
advertisements from ~1868 clearly indicate that the contemporary price of the two volume Doré
Bible was many times the price of other morocco bound titles illustrated by Doré, such as
Dante's Inferno or Don Quixote. This particular example is exceedingly rare in its early printing
and its condition. VG

Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp by Harriet Beecher Stowe Published by Phillips,
Sampson & Company, Boston, MA 1856 First Edition First State Hard bound in two volumes.
Description: "Dred" is Stowe's sequel to Uncle Tom's Cabin (UTC) and her second impactful
anti-slavery novel. Inspired in part by Nat Turner's slave rebellion of 1831, "Dred" sold over
100,000 copies in less than a month. This was a rate far greater than that of her first effort.
"UTC" drew criticism from both abolitionists and black authors for the passive martyrdom of
Uncle Tom and the endorsement of colonization as the ultimate solution to slavery. In stark
contrast, "Dred" introduces a revolutionary character who is presented as an heir to the
American Revolution rather than a problem to be expatriated. Previous owner's signatures
with date of Sept. 26 1856. Black/Brown cloth boards with blind-stamped design. Spines worn
No Photo at ends. Some loosening of bindings. Corners bumped. Generally very clean pages with only a VG $595.00

book -- and in its sequel "We and Our Neighbors" (1875) -- she makes a case for the right for
women to have a career outside the home. She also provides a sympathetic image of
alcoholism, describing it as an illness rather than a moral failure (the general opinion at the
time). She was close to this subjec, since her son Frederick had hoped to become a doctor

Quick Reference Guide to Grading Books: The grading of books is a very imprecise science. This can be attributed to the limited number of grades and
the subjective and arbitrary standards applied. We would like to see a system that has a much broader scale with strict definitions of each. A scale such
as that adopted by professional numismatists (coin dealers / collectors), where grading runs a 70-point gambit, ten of which (MS-60 to MS-70) define
uncirculated coins alone! Despite the limited and archaic grading system used by booksellers, abuses are still a problem and disputes will continue to be a
problem until the system is changed. Nonetheless, within the general descriptions below there is legitimate latitude for individual differences in grading
standards.
Very Fine (VF) - Very Fine is the highest possible grade to be given to precious few books. Much like a Mint State 70 (MS-70) uncirculated coin, it
indicates a condition that is perfect in every respect, admitting to no flaws whatsoever. Books which exhibit a single blemish can never be graded as "VF"!
VF examples are exceedingly rare in even the most common of books.
New (New) - Many booksellers use the terms ―Mint‖ or ―New‖ interchangeably with ―Very Fine‖. They are NOT the same! However, there is nothing
improper in the use of "New" and "Mint". These grades may include undisclosed minor flaws to which all new books may be subject. All New books are
inherently inferior to a Very Fine specimen for this reason.
Fine (F) - A copy that is without significant disclosed or undisclosed flaws, but lacks the pristine freshness of a New book. Most antiquarian booksellers
never award a grade higher than Fine. This is quite proper. Unfortunately, this leaves only four paltry grades with which to work. A book that is graded
―Fine‖ has had excellent and loving care for its entire life, and may appear ―new-ish‖. On closer inspection, however, flaws or blemishes in either the book
or its dust jacket must be disclosed in its description. Amazon's equivalent grade is "Used - Like New".
Very Good (VG) - This is the most common grade given to a collectable book. It means exactly what it says, it is ―Very Good‖, but is no longer fresh. The
book has been handled and shows visible signs of wear, although it is still sound and appealing to the collector. Most flaws such as ownership marks,
bookplates, remainder marks, bumped corners, price clipping, chips, and tears must be disclosed in the description of a Very Good book.
Good (G) – We contend that ―Good" seldom is! Good is essentially the lowest collectible grade, save for rare antiquarian books. The book has been used
and abused, but remains whole. There may be one major flaw, such as light damp staining or a cracked hinge, that keeps it from a higher grade.
Otherwise, a couple of minor problems, each of which are fully described, should be disclosed in the book’s description. Furthermore, a dust jacket may
have lost some design elements, but it must never be partial or fragmentary.
Fair (Fr) - Fair is the term used for a rare book hovering at the doorstep of collectability, sometimes referred to as "acceptable". For purposes of
readability, it is a very weak ―good‖, and will exhibit more than one major flaw or an accumulation of minor problems. The dust jacket, if there was one, may
be missing or in tatters, although this really must be disclosed.
NOTE: Due to the dreadful paucity of grades, many booksellers resort to using steps between grades to better describe a book's condition. These will be
expressed as: ―near fine,‖ "about fine", ―very good plus‖, ―very good minus‖, "about good", etc. Books and dust jackets are generally graded separately, so
as not to unnecessarily devalue a ―new‖ book that has been mishanded prior to sale. This is a widely accepted practice, and we use this method at
OpenBook to better define the ―in between‖ grades, particularly scarcer and rare editions.
If you have come this far without having been lulled to sleep, then you are
encouraged not to stop. Please go to the next page to numb your brain further.
Thank you.

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS:
SIGNED BY AUTHOR – This will elevate the value, often significantly, based upon the relative rarity of the signature. When personalized to a particular
individual it may vary even more. If the individual happens to be a recognizable personality, the value may escalate further. Conversely, when directed to
a ―Bob‖ or ―Mary‖, it becomes less important to collectors named Joe or Jane.
SERIALIZED – Whenever a book is produced in a limited edition bearing serial numbers, the value is generally elevated over an unnumbered edition. This
shall vary according to the relative rarity or desirability of the limited edition.
FIRST EDITION – This is the generally the preferred edition of many collectors. An exception may be whenever the second printing corrects significant
omissions or inaccuracies that appeared in the first printing. See "States or Issues" below for further clarification.
PRICE CLIPPING (PC) - This indicates that the price (most often located at the top front inside flap of the dust jacket) has been cut off. Some book
publishers will resort to drawing a mark across the edge of some books to indicate their remainders (sold at deep discounts). Either is an important
condition to disclose, especially when determining the value of a First Edition. Many collectors place little importance on a price clipped book. However,
booksellers vary enormously in adjusting for price clipping. In fact, some may not even bother to disclose PCs in their dust jacket descriptions. In our
estimation, a price clipped remainder should be marked down by 20% to 25% -- perhaps the same as if it had no dust jacket at all.
DAMP STAINING – This is the most important major flaw in grading a book’s condition. Moisture is deadly to paper! Evidence that a book has been
exposed to water will significantly diminish the book’s value and must be disclosed in the description. In many cases, however, it will simply leave a small
stain that does not affect the readability of the tex one iota.
SUNNING – This is the second most important major flaw in grading a book’s condition. It is caused by sunlight, which causes the dust jacket or book
binding to fade or discolor, most often limited to the spine. This should be disclosed in the description, even though it does not impact readability.
FOXING – Foxing is caused by paper acidification. This is the light brown spotting that is frequently seen in 19th century books and some early 20th
century books. It must be disclosed, but does not significantly impact value unless the foxing is excessive.
TIGHT – The binding is tight, the hinges are tight, and there are no loose pages or separation of pages from the spine, regardless of your ability or inability
to hold your liquor. Sorry. We could not resist the temptation.
LAID-IN – This describes ancillary documentation or ephemera that is lying loose in the front or back of the book. It may be a letter, a note, printed
literature, a photograph, autograph, etc.
TIPPED-IN – This describes ancillary documentation or ephemera that has been pasted or glued into the book, such as illustrated plates or maps. Neither
is this to be confused with being "tipsy".
COCKED – A book whose spine and boards are no longer in alignment. This condition is most often caused by a book being placed in a bookshelf at an
extreme angle to the horizontal, or by laying the book horizontally with other books piled atop. Some books are more prone to cocking than others because
they were produced with weak hinges. Cassell and Heinemann books from the 1920s to 1940s are among those prone to this problem -- common to their
Shute's and Rand's.
SPRUNG – This refers to a book that is bowed. This may be the result of a book being exposed to sudden temperature or humidity extremes. Again,
some books are more prone to this than others.
OFFSETTING – This refers to the condition of discoloration often caused by lithographs or newspaper clippings laid into a book. Offsetting really should be
disclosed in a book’s description.
EX-LIBRIS – This is a former library copy, and may be considered uncollectible by some, whenever the library markings are distracting or pervasive. Often
this means that a pocket has been glued inside the cover or the content is excessively stamped "discard". Relative scarcity or rarity will be the final
determining factor as to how much or how little this will alter the book’s valuation. You may find several ex libris titles in our inventory. These books are
priced lower than if they had been unmarked. Although rare, from time to time, we may even handle a book from a noteworthy library that may even have
an enhancing impact on the value of a book. Our offerings from the David O. Selznick Research Library are prime examples of this exception to the rule.
STATES or ISSUES - There are many instances where a book has more than one variation of the ―First Edition‖. The Ayn Rand Collection is a good
example. The Fountainhead has two states or issues of the first edition, both of which are identified by the publisher on the copyright page as "First
Edition". The red cloth copy with Bobbs-Merrill's Spring List of books on the dust jacket is the first state. The green cloth with Any Rand's picture and
reviews on the back is the second state. Both proclaim "First Edition" on the copyright page, although later printings may be similar in appearance. Our
fascination with Harriet Beecher Stowe is another good example in which First States are more desirable than a simple First Edition connotation.
If you managed to reach the terminus of our periodic catalog of unusual stuff without having an irrepressable urge to empty your wallet and/or your bank
accounts, then we feel as though we must have somehow failed in our mission to achieve this elevated state of euphoria. Please check back with us again
at a future date when you can ramble through our second-class prose intended to tease and tantilize the prospective customer of a second-class (gently
used) book ... or even a new one. Take care, please.
