The Natural History of "Bores"

Librería: Sanctuary Books, A.B.A.A., New York, NY, Estados Unidos de America
Miembro de asociación: ABAA ILAB
Valoración del vendedor:
Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. Gilt-ruled half navy morocco and marbled paper, gilt-stamped lettering and detail on spine. Illustrated, with numerous engravings throughoug. Some light rubbing along joints and edges of boards; contemporary gift inscription on front fly. Includes ancient bores, story-telling bores, pretentious bores, a few chapters on feminine bores (including strong-minded women bores and "the blue" -- who, amongst other faults, "can write an ode but not darn a sock," heaven forfend), the man-with-a-grievance bore, country acquaintance bore, theatrical bores, and (perhaps the volume's saving grace) a chapter on philoprogenitive boreism. Snark will never die.

The Natural History of Tuft-Hunters and Toadies
Publicado por D. Bogue, London, 1848
Librería: Sanctuary Books, A.B.A.A., New York, NY, Estados Unidos de America
Miembro de asociación: ABAA ILAB
Valoración del vendedor:
Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. Half calf and beige cloth, rebacked (a bit clumsily, but preserving the original backstrip), with gilt-stamped lettering and detail on spine. Illustrated, with lots of little engravings throughout. Boards a bit rubbed along the edges; previous owners' bookplate on front paste-down. A diverting little work of social satire, it exposes the many varieties of tuft-hunter and toady, whose "most leading characteristic is an entire freedom from anything like a taste or opinion of his own." Tuft-hunters and toadies are still very much in existence, we just call them something else today.
