Genung's Handbook
First up is the "Handbook of Rhetorical Analysis, Studies in Style and Invention" by John F. Genung; Ph.D. of the University of Leipsic; Professor of Rhetoric in Amherst College. - Ginn & Company, Publishers: Boston, U.S.A. 1900. 2nd title page states that it was entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1888, so I do not want to promise this is a First Edition, but so far I have only been able to find three other copies and they are all listed as 1900 as well.

Harrison's Saint Teresa
Henry Sydnor Harrison's 1922 novel, Harrison (1880-1930) is a novelist from Tennessee who also wrote under the pen name of Henry Second. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company, The Reverside Press Cambridge; Boston and New York; 1922 First Edition.
There are several copies of this book available, but most of them are reproductions of the original piece. Some copies are going as high as $50.00. This copy, as you can see in the picture to the right, has seen better days but it still makes an excellent reading copy of the original work and not a reproduction. Along the right edge of the novel in the picture you can clearly see some paint that is on the edge of the cover only, it does not effect the pages. The rest of the cover and spine is faded but still holding tight. Green cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine and cover. No loose pages and no marks that I saw. Not an Ex. Lib copy.
$4.75 with $3.00 S/H, satisfaction guaranteed
Thanks for looking and I shall try my best to keep adding a few books every couple of days. If you have any questions or if there is anything specific that you are interested in please feel free to contact me.
