Blakey, Arch Fredric; Lainhart, Ann Smith; Stephens, Winston Bryant, Jr. Rose Cottage Chronicles. Civil War Letters of the Bryant-Stephens Families of North Florida.
Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 1998.
Octovo, blue cloth, gilt letters, 289 pp. Fine (As New) in like, mylar protected dust jacket. ÔAs fresh and poignant today as when they were written, these touching letters and diaries capture the heart of everyday life during the Civil War. Set both at home in north Florida and on the front, the letters were written from 1858 to mid-1865 by two generations of the Bryant and Stephens families, ordinary Confederate folk whose members included radical secessionists, moderates, and even a few Unionists...Virtually all of the letters - more than one thousand exchanged between eight major and four minor correspondents - survive in this family saga, a riveting human and historical chronicle set in the foreground of the Civil War.'

Blunt, Wilfrid. In for a Penny, A Prospect of Kew Gardens: Their Flora, Fauna and Falballas.
North Promfret, Vermont: Hamish Hamilton, (1978). Review Copy, with Publisher's note laid-in.
Octavo, green boards (hardcover), gilt letters, xxi +218 pp. Former-owner's published review pasted to ffep; otherwise, Near-Fine, with slight sunning to spine; in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: ...[Blunt] traces the story of the development and the ultimate fusion of the two royal estates, Richmond and Kew Gardens, which constitute Kew as we know it today...Apart from describing the historical progress of the Gardens -- their rescue from the threat of extinction in 1841 and their subsequent triumphant development under Sir William Hooker and his son Joseph -- Wilfrid Blunt provides fascinating and often highly entertaining accounts of incidents and people connected with Kew, for example: the battles fought by the intrasigent Sir Joseph which gave cartoonists such scope; the eventful journey of David Nelson, a young Kew gardener, tending Captain Bligh's cargo of breadfruit; Clements Markham and Henry Wickham through whose ingenuity quinine and rubber transplanted from South America first to the Gardens and then to the Far East where they flourished; and the amazing innovation of women gardeners in Kew itself. As Wilfrid Blunt confesses, his approach to his subject is personal, capricious and irreverent.

Bolitho, Hector. A Century of British Monarchy. Decorated by Philip Gough.
London: Longmans Green and Company, 1951.
Signed & Inscribed by the Author, ÒWith best wishes...Ó Octavo, burgundy cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, full-color illus. title, xii + 283 pp. Illustrated with full-color plates. From dust jacket: As a young man, Hector Bolitho lived for seven years in the Cloisters of Windsor Castle; and it was here, having access to many of the original documents and private letters relating to the reign of Queen Victoria, that his great interest in the history and traditions of the Royal Family began. Now he brings together the experience of these years in this study of A Century of British Monarchy. His book, however, is not so much an account of the political and social events of the five reigns he covers, as a series of detailed biographical studies of the reigning sovereigns and their families. In chapters of varying treatment, he gives the reader a vivid and sympathetic picture of their daily life and problems, their travels, and the extent of their influence in public affairs. Most mportant of all, perhaps, Hector Bolitho examines the unique relationship which exists between the Royal Family and the people, not only of this country, but of the whole British Commonwealth.

Signed by the Author on title page. Octavo, red cloth & boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 324 pp. Fine (As New) in a Fine (As New) dust jacket. From jacket: FDLE agent Bill Tasker's boss is worried about the stress Tasker's been under, but he has a solution. The governor wants somebody from the outside to take a look at an inmate homicide at Manatee Correctional Facility, and this way, the boss figures, he cand to the state a favor and give Tasker a break at the same time. Some break. Turns out, there's a whole lot going on up in Manatee. The prison captain likes to exert discipline by faily unorthodox methods. The psych ward has been known to misplace a mental patient occaisionally. A trusty named Luther has far more on his mind than working in the prison library -- though the rods holding up the shelves do make very nice shivs. The prison inspector is holding a number of very uninspectorlike secrets. and something very bad is about to happen to Tasker's nex-door neighbor. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, after all....

Bossenbroek, Martin. Holland op Zijn Breedst. indie en Zui-Afrika in de Nederlandse Cultuur Omstreeks 1900.
Amsterdam: Uitgeverij Bert Bakker, 1996.
Octavo, softbound (slick blue illus. covers), 443 pp. Fine (As New). From lower cover: Anders dan tot nu toe werd aangenomen, was ook de Nederlandse samenleving omstreeks 1900 ontvankelijk voor de prikkels van nationalisme en imperialisme. Temidden van het opgewonden vlagvertoon van expansieve Europese naties zwaaide Nederland naar vermogen mee met het rood-witblauw. Ook hier te lande werd de symbolentaal van volk, vorst(in) en vanderland begrepen en gesproken. Holland op zijn smalst had afgedaan, tegen het einde van de negentiende eeuw maakte Holland zich breed. Het nieuwe nationale zelfbewustzijn werd vooral ontleend aan de eigen verrichtingen in de Indische archipel en aan die van het stamverwante Boerenvolk in Zuid-Afrika. In Holland op zijn breedst wordt de betekenis van Indie en Zuid-Afrika voor de Nederlandse cultuur rond de eeuwwisseling in al haar facetten in kaart gebracht.

From dust jacket: Edwin L. Drake came to Titusville, Pennsylavia in the late fifties and founded the petroleum industry. But he died in poverty after a long and disheartening struggle. ÒCoal Oil JohnnyÓ inherited more than a million from his Aunt Sarah's oil lands and squandered it in two years. But he had himself a time renting hotels to the tune of $8,000 a day and leading the parades of a minstrel troupe of which he became the Òangel.Ó Samuel M. Kier, the first refiner, advertised Kier's Petroleum or Rock Oil, the most wonderful rememdy yet discovered,Ó as equally good for rheumatism, gout, and neuralgia, and even capable of curing blindness...All these and more are to be found in this vivid chronicle of the early growth of the world's first commercial oil enterprises and pioneers in Pennsylvania who made the industry what it is today.

Bowen, Beth Rogero and the St. Augustine Historical Society. Postcard History Series: St. Augustine in the Gilded Age.
Charleston, SC: Arcadia Publishing, (2008).
Octavo, paperbound (slick, sepia photo. illus. wrappers), 127 pp. Fine (As New). From lower cover: St. Augustine was more than three centuries old when tourism awakened the sleepy Spanish village. Soon after Standard Oil partner Henry Flagler brought the railroad to town in the 1880s, well-heeled visitors began flocking to Flagler's luxury hotels as St. Augustine became known as the American Riviera. Tourists walked the quaint, narrow streets and visited the city gate, the old Spanish fort, the alligator farm, the Fountain of Youth, and the four houses all claiming to be the oldest in the country. Postcard History Series: St. Augustine in the Gilded Age depicts the oldest city in the United States from the beginning of the picture postcard era to 1914, when a fire destroyed several downtown blocks. The volume presents more than 200 images from the archives of the St. Augustine Historical Society and the author's personal collection.
