Conditions of Sale*

2. The description of each lot is an opinion only. Many lots are of an age and nature which precludes their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The absence of such reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to a particular defect imply the absence of others. Such information is given for guidance only and the condition of any lot and the nature and extent of any damage or restoration should be confirmed by examination prior to the sale. In this connection you are specifically requested to read condition 3 of the Conditions of Sale.

3. (A) All statements in the catalogues, advertisements or brochures of forthcoming sales as to any of the matters specified in (B), (C), and (D) below are statements of opinion and are not, nor are they to be relied upon as, statements or representations of fact.

3. (C) Neither the Seller nor CABS is responsible for any faults or defects in any lot.

3. (D) Neither the Seller nor CABS nor any person in their employ has any authority to make any representation or warranty nor are they responsible for any representation or warranty, or for any statement in the catalogues, advertisements or brochures of forthcoming sales or illustrations therein.

4. (A) The highest bidder acceptable to the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer, but if, during or immediately after the sale of the lot, the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen or that there is any other reason for so doing, he may at his absolute discretion immediately put up a lot again for sale.

4. (B) The Auctioneer has the right as his absolute discretion to refuse any bid and to advance the bidding as he may decide.

4. (C) CABS has the right at its absolute discretion to withdraw or divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots.

5. The property in a lot shall not pass to the Buyer until he has paid the purchase price in full, but the lot shall be at the Buyer’s risk in all respects from the fall of the hammer.

6. The respective rights and obligations of the parties in respect to the Conditions of Sale shall be governed and interpreted by English law and the Buyer hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. i.e.,

8 [BIBLIOGRAPHY] [CAZINS] A group of 5 books relating to Hubert-Martin Cazin, his life, his work, and to books in the format which bear his name. Publisher Hubert-Martin Cazin (1724-1795) was the son of a bookseller/printer/binder in Reims. He followed in his father’s profession but with a taste – and clientele – for prohibited books. He published at least 325 but possibly as many as 500 books over the course of 25 years, including the standard works of numerous French authors, but also a large number of banned or licentious books, often under false imprints or locations (two separate stints in the Bastille taught him the habits of caution). His editions were notable for both their production quality and their petite sizes (12mos or 18mos). Books in such formats came to be called “Cazins,” and by both their content and their very nature inspired imitation and even forgery. The following volumes represent an attempt at a bibliography of Cazin editions and the identification of other volumes in the Cazin style. The texts are entirely in French. Four of the five bear the Art Nouveau bookplate of Ernest Goldschmidt. ∞ [Brissart-Binet, Charles Antoine]. Cazin, Sa Vie et Ses Editions, par un Cazinophile. Réimpression de l'édition de 1863.

The illustrated catalog is primarily arranged in alphabetical order by author.

16 [BIBLIOGRAPHY] [PRINTING] Bigmore, E. C.; Wyman, C. W. H. A Bibliography of Printing. : Bernard Quaritch, 1880-86. [Complete in 3 volumes.] First edition. Small 4tos, rebound in brick-colored buckram and with new endpapers; pp. xii, 449; vii, 412; vi, 115; illustrated

throughout in b/w. A fine set in a library-style binding designed for heavy use; with the tasteful bookplate of the H. P. Kraus Reference Library affixed to the front pastedown. A massive undertaking; originally planned for 2 volumes, the sheer volume of material forced a third. (N.B.: Amusingly, the compilation work was complicated, apparently, by the fact of numerous printers’ errors in early sources, which, due to the proximity in the compositor’s case of the ‘a’ and the ‘r’ and of the ‘o’ and the ‘y,’ had resulted in listings of “painters” rather than “printers,” and in references to “topography” where “typography” [or vice-versa] had been meant! – see p. xi of the Preface.) Although much-reissued in a number of formats, the first edition remains scarce (appearing just once at auction in the last 12 years).

22 [BOOKSELLING] An autograph letter and two books relating to American bookselling. ∞ An ALS from Samuel Drake, the “first American antiquarian bookseller” to Benson J. Lossing, the “prolific and popular” American historian. A single note-page, 13.5 cms x 10.5 cms, thanking Lossing for the receipt of an unspecified favor, and referencing projects both men were then engaged upon. Per Madeleine Stern, Drake was the first American bookseller to seriously turn his attention to the systematic gathering, cataloging, and selling of books pertaining to the American Indian. The Dictionary of American Antiquarian Book Dealers blames his death on his attendance at a book auction (insert editorial comment here), at which he contracted pneumonia. At the time of his demise he reportedly left behind a stock consisting of 10,000 volumes; whether that unwieldy number reflected their general unsaleability or was merely further evidence of his obvious and unfortunate addiction to book auctions remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of the Trade.

A ‘publisher's advertisement’ included in v. 1 of that edition reads: ‘The present edition of Lord Byron’s Works, was put to press by Messrs. Eastburn, Kirk and Co. in conjunction with myself, but I have since purchased their portion of the edition (except a very few copies,) and become the exclusive proprietor. The engravings, on which their names appear with mine as joint publishers, were printed before the present arrangement took place. The object of this notice will be understood by booksellers, for whom, alone, it is intended. ... I have also printed an edition, containing the same, on a common paper, in two volumes. / Aug. 8, 1816, by Moses Thomas.’ ” N.B.: The Coleridge bibliography confirms the AAS’s explanation, but neither he nor a visit to the Pforzheimer Collection at New York Public sheds further light on whether these two Thomas editions

constitute the first appearance in book form of any of Byron’s poems, as claimed on the title page. Scarce: 5 copies only of this 2-volume edition in OCLC. PROVENANCE: GABE KONRAD, BAY LEAF BOOKS. {25/50}

Color-illustrated wraps, all edges stained bright yellow. Near fine, with only a touch of age-toning to the endpages. Beacon was one of the earliest mass-market paperback publishers of “sleaze,” and a company that took not only its content but its appearance quite seriously. ∞ Hastings, March. Crack-Up. Newsstand Library Books no. U152, 1961. Paperback Orginal. Color-illustrated wraps, all edges stained bright yellow-orange. Near fine, with speck of soiling to the bottom edge. With cover art by Robert Bonfils. ∞ Williams, Charles. River Girl. Gold Medal Books no. G207, 1951. Paperback Orginal. Color-illustrated wraps, all edges stained yellow-orange.

Overall, a superb collection, representative of the artwork, sub-genres, themes, and production values of the era, and featuring some of the most influential writers and cover artists of their day.

Kraus Reference Library bookplate affixed to the front pastedown; overall, both volumes very good and sound. The classic (and indispensable) work on the subject. As Updike states in his Preface, this revised and expanded “2nd” edition should rightfully be considered the 3rd (since an earlier reprint of the 1st edition also contained extensive revision), and so it “accordingly supplies a basis for that kind of confusion so exciting to collectors, so puzzling to bibliographers, so annoying to publishers, and to the printer of no significance at all!” PROVENANCE: DONATED BY NINA MUSINSKY, MUSINSKY RARE BOOKS.
