Descripci�n

First Edition (SD). Once listed, this will be the Only copy of this book for sale anywhere on the Internet. Allan Healy appears to have written only one book. This one. And it is not a long book. In fact it is a short book, running all of 10 numbered pages. On the last page, an unnumbered page, we learn that this short book is a limited edition. It says 'One hundred seventy-five copies of this book have been set and printed by the author. It is illustrated with linoleum blocks cut by him and completed in the third week of December, 1940.' It was published by 'The Pocumtuck Press, out of Evanston, Illinois. When I googled The Pocumtuck Press nothing came up. Was this the Only book they ever published? Was the publishing house Mr. Healy's own creation? And did Mr. Healy sign and inscribe this book? That's an interesting question. I can't say that he did and I can't say that he didn't. You can see the signed inscription in the photo of the first front end paper. It reads 'This is what New Year's at La Crosse did to me. It's for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for Burkes(?)' And then it is signed with what appears to be initials which easily could be A.H. particularly if he merged the one side of the A with the one side of the H. It does make more sense than not that he would've been talking about himself. Saying that skiing at La Crosse (there's a Mt. La Crosse in Illinois) caused all the different experiences that the protagonist, himself, of this little book experienced. Of course this makes a big difference, whether he signed it or not, because of course he went on to become President of the United States. No, that doesn't sound true. But I'm voting for it being his initials. It seems most logical. Each one of the pages has a title and illustration. The titles are How To Ski; The Costume (' One must have skis but they are least important.'); The Necessary Equipment; The Skis; Learning to Stand; Walking On Skis; Kick Turns; Downhill Running; Stemming; and The Christie. Suffice it to say there are quite a few references to falling and some humor to boot. The book does not appear to have fallen down at all. It is in very nice condition, particularly when you take into account that it was published in 1940. The covers have only a little soiling. The label on the front has the brunt of it, and it's not much of a brunt. The label is in good shape. All six edges are in good shape. The spine is in good shape. Thin thin page edges look clean. The book is pretty square and is pretty solidly bound. I'm not seeing any cracks or spaces between any of the pages or between the covers and any of the pages. The illustrations, by the author, are quite nice, whimsical. Some are black and white. Some have a little brown, some a little blue. The pages are in nice shape. There is a little crease at the top corner of the title page and its verso copyright page. It doesn't go beyond that. I don't see any other creasing. The pages are quite clean. There is one very little red mark on one page. I don't see any other soiling if you want to call that little red mark soiling. There are no markings. No attachments. And with the exception of the signed inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. What a wonderful addition to someone's collection of skiing books!!

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
