John Bradford. John Bradford's Historical and Notes on Kentucky from the Western Miscellany. Grabhorn Press, San Francisco, 1932.

Price: US$100.00 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: This 5.75 x 7.75 inch, 205 page hardcover book with dust wrapper is the 1932 printing of this title by the Grabhorn Press of San Francisco. This copy is a truly beautiful one and an impressive example of the fine press work from one of the most accomplished fine presses of the twentieth century. This copy is in strictly fine condition and even better as there are no cover condition issues to mention with the paper cover, with map and gilt printing on the front panel and paper spine label, as new. The interior shows a small previous owner's book sticker to the front pastedown but beyond that the interior text is virtually as new with many pages uncut. The deckled edges are still unruffled by time and handling. The book features a three-panel fold-out map as the frontispiece and drawings by Arvilla Parker decorating the text chapters. The book has the brown paper dust wrapper as often issued with the Grabhorn editions and the wrapper is in again strictly fine condition. This title was Number 3 of the Grabhorn's Rare Americana Series and was limited to 500 copies. A truly beautiful book. 205 pages.

Price: US$175.00 + shipping

Description: One of 500 copies, handsomely printed by the Grabhorn Press. No. 3 of their Rare Americana Series. Introduction by John Wilson Townsend. Small octavo. 212pp. 1 folding map plus vignettes. Tan pictorial boards, red paper spine label. A very fine, bright and crisp copy with the publisher's plain wrapper. A very fine copy of a book often found quite worn. Bradford's 'Historical Notes' were originally written as a series in the 'Kentucky Gazette' and first put into book form in 1827. The first edition is excessively rare. It also contained numerous errors (when compared to the Kentucky Gazette series). The Grabhorn edition offered here was reprinted from the original newspaper file and thus is the first correct reprinting of the story of Kentucky's beginnings. The map is reproduced from the original by J. Russell, 1794. [Grabhorn: 170; Howes I: S-1011; Howes II: S-1018].
