The Pavements of New York

More about the book

Fair. See scans and description. New Little Leather Library, undated but circa 1922. The Sidewalks of New York, by Bernardine Kielty. This is a scarce title in the LLL series, being a commission by the Bowman Hotels (John McEntee Bowman, President), and therefore thus stamp-patterned on the covers, notably the rear cover (see scans). 48mo - a miniature book, 3 7/8" tall; green and copper flexible leatherette boards (the "Redcroft" edition), 92 pp. Fair, due to the fact that the front cover long ago became separated, and a prior owner had tried to repair it with transparent tape, unsuccessfully. That front cover is present, but still detached. The balance of the book, including the rear cover, meets Very Good standards for this series, with notable endpaper foxing, but none internally, and some cover wear, those elements being characteristic. From the Little Leather Library series of promotional miniatures. Fragile. All such versions from LLL would have been treated as promotional ephemera at the time. This Bowman Hotels issue is extremely scarce now. For the collector of miniatures, literature, or ephemera. See all scans. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. L200
