First edition of "Charlotte's Web" signed by E.B. White
First (privately printed) edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover
Lovely little two-volume set of Homer's "Iliad" from the 1870s (I'm keeping this one)
Rare 1825 reference on expeditions to Brazil
Not particularly rare or expensive, just a neat old title
1845 volume, part of a set collecting all of the various expeditions sponsored by the United States. This one particular volume is all about Hawaii
First printing of Tom Wolfe's "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test." I've never seen it in hardcover
1766 book in original binding
Wee little volume of Homer's "Odyssey" - my favorite book

Great books. I really like the Charlotte's Web. I've only seen the paperback before, and I like the way they did the title on the spine. Plus it's signed. Extra amazing because of that.
ReplyDeleteWhat does a Charlotte's Web like this one go for?

What a treat to see these!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure-trove! Thanks for letting us see these wonderful volumes.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow on the Charlotte's Web prices! I wore two of those out in my grade school library. They replaced the first, my mother bought the library the second copy. I couldn't turn it in I was so obsessed with it.
ReplyDeleteI am just so jealous - what a wonderful "job" (is it really a job) to handle all these lovely items every day ...
ReplyDeleteFabulous! And I agree with Jewels!
ReplyDeleteWhen was the Pope translation of the Homer published? (And how much is it going for?)
ReplyDeleteEllie - It was published in 1795. You can find single volumes like this one on Abebooks for $30 and up.
