The Rueful Mating – G.B. Stern – First Edition 1932

A First Edition 1932 published by Knopf New York as one of their Borzoi Books.

A very good and lengthy romance by Miss Stern. The book is a tad foxed due to the uncut edges but the jacket is a collectable piece of deco imagery and makes up for it as well as the unique Borzoi end papers.

Very Early Map of the Island of Borneo – from De Bry’s account of Van Noort’s Voyages – c1602

An original and rare copper engraved map of the island of Borneo (Borneo Insula) and its neighbouring Islands published by Theodore De Bry. First issued circa 1602 from Olivier Van Noorts journal of his Voyages around the World.

Engraved by Benjamin Wright shows Van Noort’s ship in the bay at Brunei. The vessel is surrounded by local boats. Van Noort’s account mentions upwards of one hundred native proas clustered around him as he set anchor on 1st January 1601. His account of the area is only second to Pigafetta

Van Noort voyage was primarily to set to against the Spanish. It was a mistake as the Spanish came after him and his flagship was sunk and quite a few of his crew captured and executed. When he returned to Rotterdam he had only 48 crew out of 248 and one ship left the Mauritius. But he was the first Dutch circumnavigator and he did have this map.

Ark of Venus – Clyde Clason – 1955

A first edition 1955 a bit marked in the endpapers and with the interesting institutional stamp mentioned below. A special Sc-Fi book sometimes referred to as for younger people but we think for the young at heart. Dust jacket to die for.

A really fun Sci-Fi from 1955 … let’s colonise Venus because the Moon and Mars did not come up to scratch. The Library stamps are an honour in this case as the history of the now truly gone “Sydney Futurian Society” after the sad passing of Graham Stone, a Sci-Fi Guru and much more in 2014.

Special Sci-Fi and rare in any condition
