‘A Favorite among Asimov’s Readers’
45001 Isaac Asimov. The Caves of Steel. Garden City: Doubleday &
Company, 1954. First edition. Octavo. 224 pages. Publisher’s dark blue
paper-covered boards, spine lettered in red, red topstain, in original
dust jacket. Housed in custom clamshell case. A ne copy in ne dust
jacket with light rubbing at spine ends. A very sharp copy of a book dif-
cult to locate in superior condition.
Asimov’s human detective and his robot partner solve a murder on a
overpopulated future Earth where its human inhabitants live in under-
ground hives, “a hectic, tenuously self-sustaining underworld machine
of housing cells, factories, tunnels, and life-support mechanisms so in-
tricate and interdependent that any impediment of its delicate rhythm
would send the whole apparatus into fatal shock” (Berger, p. 31). The
bureaucratized humans, afraid of the open air and too timid to go to the
stars to solve their overpopulation problem, will perish, doomed by the
strain on their complex life support systems. Asimov’s rst robot novel.
“A richly characterized, thoughtfully told story; justiably a favorite
among Asimov’s readers.” - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-42. “Asimov’s
tour de force ...” - Survey of Science Fiction Literature I, pp. 318-21.

The Original Signed Contract for Edgar Rice Burroughs’s
Tarzan and the Ant Men
45032 Edgar Rice Burroughs [1875-1950, American novelist]. Signed Contract for The First
Trade Edition of Tarzan and the Ant Men. [Reseda and Chicago]: May 15, 1924. Signed contract.
Signed at the bottom of the second page by Burroughs, Joseph E. Bray, Vice President for A. C.
McClurg & Company, and two witnesses. With Burroughs’ ink stamp above his signature. Two type-
written folio pages on two folio sheets, stapled at upper left corner. Approximately 13 x 8.5 inches.
On plain white paper. Some toning and edgewear to leaves, a few tears, mainly on creases, several
horizontal creases, some light creasing in upper left corner, as well as paperclip markings. On verso
of second leaf is the following ink note, in an unknown hand: “Tarzan + the Ant Men/Agreement
with/Edgar Rice Burroughs/for publication/May 15. 1924”. Overall very good. This contract has the
most unusual aspect in that there is no mention of payment up-front to Burroughs. This contract is a
bit dierent from the other two, as Burroughs was to receive a royalty of 20% on all sales of the rst
edition - not a sliding scale as before (based on a catalogue price of $2.00 per copy). Like the other
contracts, Burroughs was also responsible for text corrections after the printed proof was made,
beyond an initial $25 of printer’s fees paid by the publisher. Again, Burroughs reserved all movie and
serial rights to this book, as well as foreign translations. Burroughs was to also receive twelve cop-
ies of this book upon publication, and a 40% discount on all copies thereafter. This contract awards
exclusive publication right to A. C. McClurg during the copyright period and renewals. From the col-
lection of Dr. Stuart David Schi.

Lord Dunsany
The Franklin V. Spellman Collection
45064 The Works and Worlds of Lord Dunsany
from the Krown & Spellman Collection. “Come
with me, ladies and gentlemen who are in any
wise weary of London: come with me: and those
that tire at all of the world we know: for we have
new worlds here.” - Lord Dunsany, The Book of
Wonder.
Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, [1878-1957],
known more popularly as Lord Dunsany, was an
Irish writer of fantasies and one of the great “world
builders” of the early twentieth century. He was the Eighteenth Baron of Dunsany, a poet, a playwright, a novelist, a sharp shooter and chess cham-
pion, a hunter, a soldier, and a world traveler. He inspired a generation of authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien, H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur C. Clarke, and Ursula K.
Le Guin; and although not as currently well-known, he was in his time a social and literary sensation. With his distinctive cut quill pen and his larger
than life personality, he remains a gure of fascination to this day.
This remarkable collection of over 418 Dunsany books, letters, and other related ephemera, features a core of 232 volumes, comprised of 96 titles
written by Lord Dunsany in a variety of editions. Highlights include four of the G.P. Putnam large format limited rst editions [Time and the Gods, The
King of Eland’s Daughter, and two inscribed copies of The Chronicles of Rodriguez], each signed by both Dunsany and his illustrator Sidney Sime; the
six volume 1917 “Special Gift Edition” set of Lord Dunsany’s works [The Gods of Pegāna, Time and the Gods, The Sword of Welleran, A Dreamer’s Tales, The
Book of Wonder, and The Last Book of Wonder], also illustrated by Sidney Sime.
In fact, no discussion of the works and worlds of Lord Dunsany would be complete without a nod to his illustrator and kindred spirit Sidney Sime
[1867-1941]. Sime’s early life, partly spent scratching images of fantastic creatures on the walls while working in the Yorkshire coal mines, stands in
stark contrast to that of Lord Dunsany’s, born to both title and wealth. However, their mutual love of the fantastic brought them together and result-
ed in several striking literary and artistic collaborations.
Through Dunsany’s correspondence and book inscriptions one is introduced to others in his circle, such as his friend and biographer Hazel Littleeld
Smith, publisher Elkin Matthews, book collector and aspiring author Manuel Tarshish, true crime author William Roughead, and the illustrious book
binder George Sutclie.
Among the later correspondence there is a letter from Lady Beatrice Dunsany to Franklin V. Spellman dated 1966, responding to Mr. Spellman’s inter-
est in her husband’s works, in which she writes: “A return of interest in the fantastic & romantic literature will come before very long, & meanwhile I hope
your quest for the books will be successful.”
We are pleased to present the Franklin V. Spellman collection of the works of Lord Dunsany, which not only speaks to the success of that quest, but
also moves us all one step further along on that ongoing return to the truly fantastic!

least a momentary glimpse of some Entity which should not be.”
45111 H.P. Lovecraft. Ten Autograph Letters Totaling Forty-six Pages Signed by H.P. Lovecraft to Frederic Jay Pabody. Providence, Rhode
Island: January 20th 1932 to February 17th 1937. Ten letters in the hand of H.P. Lovecraft, totaling forty-six closely written pages on twenty-two
sheets of paper, measuring approximately 5.5 x 9 inches each; and one sheet measuring 8.5 x 11 inches. The letters are signed either simply “HPL” or
“H.P. Lovecraft.” Although there is one letter from 1932 and one from 1937, the majority are from 1936.
Lovecraft was a prolic correspondent, communicating with and often mentoring his younger fans. In these letters, which are full of writing and
publishing advice for Pabody, Lovecraft recounts recent visits with his “literary friends” R.H. Barlow and Adolphe de Castro, the suicide of Robert E.
Howard, other “weird” ction authors, the nature of good marriages and bad marriages, religion (or the lack thereof), some splendid passages about
the nature of “seriously artistic” weird ction, and his repeated inveterate hatred of typewriters. The June 19th 1936 letter includes a 3 x 5.5 inch hand
drawn map or, as Lovecraft calls it, a “rough Mercator’s Projection chart” of Kusha, a land associated with the myth of Atlantis. A remarkable collection
of letters, written not long before his death on March 15th 1937.
Included is a photocopied letter from August Derleth, co-founder of Arkham House, to Pabody, regarding the inclusion of portions of these letters
into what was eventually published as the ve volume work The Selected Letters of H.P. Lovecraft (1965-1976). Derleth has made few light pencil marks
indicating which passages he was considering to excerpt. Pages have light fold and edge wear, additional creases, as well as indentations and minor
rust stains from paperclip use. The letters of September 17th and June 19th of 1936 have some o-set discolorations. Very good condition.

Typescript of One of the First
Cthulhu Mythos Stories
45112 H. P. Lovecraft [American author, 1890-1937]. Original
Typescript for The Festival. 598 Angell St., Providence R.I. [n.d., ca.
1923]. Twelve quarto leaves, rectos only. Approximately 11 x 8.5 inches.
The rst leaf is written entirely in pencil in Lovecraft’s Hand: “The /
Festival / by / H. P. Lovecraft.” After this leaf are ten numbered typewrit-
ten leaves, and one nal blank leaf. The complete story. With a few of
the author’s corrections or notations in ink. Leaves quite browned and
worn, with edges chipped and with several tears. Leaves dampstained
near the upper and right margins. Still, a very good example of an in-
credibly rare and fragile item. Relatively few manuscripts or typescripts
by Lovecraft have appeared at auction in the last thirty years. This story,
rst published in Weird Tales in January, 1925 is “the rst Mythos story
to use witch-haunted Kingsport as a setting.” (Lin Carter, Lovecraft: A
Look Behind the Cthulhu Mythos). It is also one of the earliest works of c-
tion to discuss the Necronomicon. From the collection of Dr. Stuart David
Schi.

Scarce Roman-A-Clef about Tuxedo Park
45135 Willard Rich (pseudonym
of William T. Richards). Brain-
waves and Death. New York: Charles
Scribner’s Sons, 1940. First edition.

stained blue, fore-edge untrimmed, in
original dust jacket. Housed in custom
clamshell case. Spine lean, a ne copy
in nearly ne pictorial dust jacket with
light wear at spine ends and corner
tips.
Brain-Waves and Death was published
posthumously under the pseudonym
“Willard Rich” a few weeks after its au-
thor, William T. Richards, took his own
life. Richards worked for Alfred Lee Loomis and his novel was a thinly
veiled account of a real-life laboratory located about 40 miles north of
New York City nicknamed “Tuxedo Park.” This “secret palace of science”
was founded and funded by Loomis, arguably one of the most signi-
cant and uncredited gures in the history of modern military science.
Loomis, a world-class tinkerer in his own right, was a visionary who saw
that technology would win the looming war - and indeed that an invest-
ment in “big science” would be the key to national strength in the future.
Loomis went on to establish the MIT Rad Lab and later was instrumental
in setting up the Manhattan Project. According to legend, Loomis had
all copies of Richards’ roman-a-clef bought up and destroyed. Obviously
he missed a few copies, but the book is uncommon, especially in jacket.

This suspenseful novel about truck drivers taking nitroglycerine across
treacherous mountains in South America inspired a critically-acclaimed
lm of the same name by Henri-Georges Clouzot, released in 1953, and
a second adaptation by William Friedkin as Sorcerer, released in 1977.
Arnaud lived an adventurous life after having been acquitted of the
brutal triple-murder of his father, aunt and a servant. He spent nineteen
months in prison awaiting trial, and when he was exonerated, he left
France for a life of adventure and activism.

When released in 1958, Vertigo was a critical and commercial failure.
However, in the 1980’s the lm was re-discovered and re-evaluated by
critics and audiences alike. Today, it is generally considered Hitchcock’s
masterpiece and one of the nest lms ever made.

The author’s most famous book and a cornerstone of twentieth-century
British ction. “A compelling and often comic vision of the way violence
comes to dominate the mind, the novel is set in a future London and is
told in a curious but readable Russied argot by a juvenile delinquent
whose brainwashing by the authorities has destroyed not only his mur-
derous aggression but also a deeper-seated sense of humanity (typied
by his compulsive love for the music of Beethoven), It is an ironic novel
in the tradition of Yevgeny Zamiatin’s and George Orwell’s anti-utopias.”

edition, association copy, inscribed by Wilder to Montgomery Clift
on the half-title page: “Monty from Thornton / with all his / best / New
York / June 1945.” Octavo. [viii], 180, [4, blank] pages. Publisher’s cloth,
dust jacket. Jacket backed with sti paper and axed to binding at

edges and joints, some browning to edges of binding. Still, a good copy
with an excellent association.
Montgomery Clift and Thornton Wilder were close friends, and Clift
considered the older and more experienced Wilder to be a mentor on
various topics, including: theater, his acting career, and even private life
(both were homosexual, although there is no evidence they were lov-
ers). The signature in this book, dated 1945, was done three years after
Clift appeared in Wilder’s nal play, The Skin of Our Teeth. Directed by
Elia Kazan and co-starring Tallulah Bankhead, The Skin of Our Teeth was
a dicult and unhappy undertaking, but opened to critical and com-
mercial success.

Scottie chases Judy up to the top of the tower (but is before she falls to
her death). It was common for multiple scenes at a certain location to

Quarto. Six leaves, rectos only. Approximately 11 x 8.5 inches. On thin
white paper. Leaves toned, upper left corners chipped due to rough sta-
ple removal, some light to moderate soiling on some of the leaves. Still,
a ne example of this very rare item. Psycho was Hitchcock’s nal lm for
Paramount Pictures, and his relationship with the studio had become
strained (they disliked the script so much, they had declined to produce
the lm - they would only handle distribution - Hitchcock was forced
to nance most of the lm himself), and they had declined to open
the lm to wide distribution. In order to publicize this lm, Hitchcock
himself took the bold approach of making a special trailer with original
dialogue written by James Allardyce (who wrote the introductions for
Hitchcock’s television series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents). The trailer helped
to publicize the lm, but it wasn’t quite enough. Since Paramount had
only released the lm to a few theaters in New York, Boston, Chicago
and Philadelphia, Hitchcock came up with the rule that no one would
be admitted after the lm began, and recorded several audio spots to
be played at the theaters. Also, no critics were given advance screenings
of the lm (although this preserved the surprise, it also negatively af-
fected a few reviews). Psycho opened in the selected theaters, with lines
soon stretching around the block. Paramount realized they had a hit on
their hands and released Psycho around the country; it became the big-
gest money-maker of Hitchcock’s career.

Jacket toned, foxed and thumbsoiled,

Albee inscribed this book to Bernard
Reis, Albee’s accountant. Apparently,
this book was inscribed when Albee
had begun his relationship with Reis;
their relationship would come to
a crashing halt in 1976, when Albee discovered that he owed nearly
$700,000 in back taxes to the I.R.S. due to Reis’ mismanagement. Albee
was forced to sell some high value artwork for a fraction of its worth to
Frank Lloyd of the Marlborough Gallery. Both Bernard Reis and Frank
Lloyd were key gures in the scandal over their handling of the Mark
Rothko estate. Essentially, these men had defrauded Rothko and his
family for millions of dollars worth of artwork, and were forced to make
restitution.

acid-free paper between them. All pages are housed in two custom-
made cloth clamshell cases and slipcase. An excellent and fascinating

Watson, friends that Bellow had made while teaching at the University

Complete Run of All the Sherlock Holmes Stories
Published in the Strand Magazine
45218 Arthur Conan Doyle. Complete
Run of All Sherlock Holmes Stories in Their
Original Strand Magazine Issues. London:
George Newnes, 1891-1927.
“A number of monthly magazines were com-
ing out at that time, notable among which was
‘The Strand’, then as now under the editorship
of Greenhough Smith. Considering these vari-
ous journals with their disconnected stories it
had struck me that a single character running
through a series, if it only engaged the atten-
tion of the reader, would bind that reader to
that particular magazine... Looking round for
my central character I felt that Sherlock Holmes,
whom I had already handled in two little books,
would easily lend himself to a succession of
short stories.”
- Arthur Conan Doyle. Memories and Adventures,
1924.
Seventy-nine issues of the Strand Magazine with
the rst printed appearance of all fty-eight
Sherlock Holmes stories, including the serializa-
tion of The Hound of the Baskervilles and The
Valley of Fear. The stories themselves are com-
plete, lacking only one illustration from “His Last
Bow” in the September 1917 issue.
Apart from the separate publications of A Study
in Scarlet and The Sign of Four, this collection
represents the complete canon of Arthur Conan
Doyle’s “Sherlock Holmes” stories as published in
their original format with the classic artwork of
Sidney Paget, Arthur Twidle, Frank Wiles, Howard Elcock, and others.
Nine of the issues have had their front advertisements removed [August 1904, April 1911, March 1923, March 1925, October 1926, November 1926,
January 1927, February 1927, and April 1927], few issues with cuts to the table of contents, some loose or detached covers, few covers missing [in-
cluding the color front cover from the December 1911 issue], and textblock rippling from water damage to three issues [January 1892, March 1892,
and June 1904]. The December 1926 issue is an ex-library copy with ink stamps and dark tape along the spine. Two copies are housed in modern cus-
tom printed boxes.
Covers with varying degrees of edge wear, corner bends, creases, tears, chips, paper losses, staining and soiling, some with pen or pencil marks and
previous owner names. Few are age darkened, and some have rusted staples. Most issues with chips or some degree of paper loss to spines; few re-
paired, often with cellophane tape and tape remnants along spines. Pages with edge wear, few margin tears, minor smudging or soiling, some over-
opened or loose pages, few with textblock splits, occasional foxing and minor dampstains, few pen or pencil marks (not in the Holmes stories).
The Sherlock Holmes pages themselves are in overall very good condition. A very rare complete run of the tales of Sherlock Holmes as they rst ap-
peared in the Strand.

in the Original Cloth
45270 Robert Louis Stevenson. Treasure Island. London, Paris &
New York: Cassell & Company, Limited, 1883. First edition, mixed (mainly
rst) issue, with the following rst issue points (except where noted):
“Dead Man’s Chest” is not capitalized on pages 2 and 7; with “v” in “vain”
mutilated in the last line of page 40; the “a” is present in line 6 of page
63 (second issue); the “8” is present in the page number on page 83 (sec-
ond issue); the “7” is absent in the page number on page 127; the period
is lacking following “opportunity” in line 20 of page 178; with “worse” for
“worst” in line 3 of page 197; and Treasure Island is listed as having 304
pages on page [2] of the publisher’s advertisements. Octavo. viii, 292,
[8, publisher’s catalog dated “5R-1083”]. Frontispiece map of Treasure
Island, printed in three colors. Publisher’s original sage cloth lettered
in gilt on the spine. Rebacked, preserving the original spine. New
endleaves and blanks. Inkstamp of the Daily Chronicle on the title-page
(not interfering with the printed text). Spine toned and rubbed, boards
soiled and somewhat rubbed, text with occasional soiling, mild creases
and marginal chipping. Generally, a good copy.
Stevenson supposedly raced through the rst fteen chapters of his
soon-to-be-classic tale. He would delight his family and friends by read-
ing aloud the chapters of his new novel and according to one visitor
Stevenson “read it beautifully: recalling how he swayed rhythmically
while reading it aloud...his ne voice, clear and keen” (McLynn, Robert
Louis Stevenson, page 197). Stevenson himself had no doubt of the
merit of his book as he writes “If this don’t fetch the kids, why, they have
gone rotten since my day. Will you be surprised to hear that it is about
Buccaneers, that it begins in the ‘Admiral Benbow’ public-house on
the Devon coast, that it’s all about a map, and a treasure and a mutiny,
and a derelict ship, and a ne old Squire Trelawny...with the chorus
‘Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum’” (McLynn, Robert Louis Stevenson, pages
198-199). “Treasure Island established itself as a classic, drawing plaudits
from the widest range of literary sensibilities. In 1890, W.B. Yeats wrote
to tell [Stevenson] that the book was the only one in which his seafaring
grandfather had ever taken any pleasure and that he reread it on his
deathbed with innite satisfaction. Jack London declared ‘His Treasure
Island will be a classic to go down with Robinson Crusoe, Through the
Looking Glass and The Jungle Books’’ (McLynn, Robert Louis Stevenson,
page 203).

“I wrote Harry Potter while sitting on this chair.”
- J.K. Rowling
Session One, Auction #6155 | Wednesday, April 6, 2016 | 10:00 AM ET 97
45297 Chair Used by J.K. Rowling whilst Writing the First Two Harry Potter Books, Later Hand-Painted and Signed by Rowling Herself. The
chair is accompanied by Rowling’s signed letter “by Owl Post” describing the history and provenance. Measurements are approximately 34 inches tall
x 18 inches wide x 18 inches deep. Older renish to oak, with wear to nish at crest rail. Light surface wear and scu marks that come with age and
usage, as well as a chip to one front leg and joints separating. Manufacturer’s initials are printed on the seat, hidden under removable cushion.
During her days as an impoverished single mother in Edinburgh, J.K. Rowling was given a free set of four chairs for her council at-a social hous-
ing unit provided by the British government. This set included a standard 1930’s era oak chair with a replacement burlap seat decorated with a red
thistle. The latter being one of the more comfortable chairs amongst the bunch, she favored it to sit in whilst writing the rst drafts of Harry Potter
and the Philosopher’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - the rst two books of a seven part series that would become an international
phenomenon. A few years after the publication of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the chair was donated to a small auction in 2002 called Chair-ish
a Child in aid of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC). However, it was something that according to Rowling herself
would have been “purchased from a junk shop for a tenner.” Rather than selling it in its original form, Rowling used gold, rose, and green paints to
transform the chair into a magical piece of literary memorabilia.
On the stiles and splats, in gold and rose colors: “You may not / nd me pretty ~ / but don’t judge / on what you see.”
Rowling signed the backrest in the gold and rose paints. Then along the apron of the seat: “I wrote / Harry Potter / while sitting / on this chair.”
“Gryndor” is painted on the cross stretcher below, which readers will recognize as the house Harry and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron
Weasley were sorted into upon arriving at Hogwarts. Lightning bolts, like Harry’s famous scar, don the tops of the front legs in gold and green.
Adding to the handmade detail, gold wave lines decorate the top of the wood surrounding the seat cushion, with gold paint staining one rail where
the excess dripped down.
Accompanying the chair is the original Owl Post that Rowling typed and signed to the winner of the rst auction. The letter itself is 11.5 x 8.25 inches,
in a light-colored wood frame that is an overall size of 14.75 x 11.25 inches. It reads: “Dear new-owner-of-my-chair ~ / I was given four mismatched
dining room chairs in 1995 and this was the comest one, which is why it ended up stationed permanently in front of my typewriter, supporting me
while I typed out ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’. / My nostalgic side is quite sad to see it go,
but my back isn’t. / J. K. Rowling.”
It was put up for auction again in 2009 and sold for 19,555 British pounds (approximately $29,117 in US currency), of which some of the proceeds
benetted the charity organization Books Abroad. For comparison, a handwritten manuscript of The Tales of Beedle the Bard was auctioned by
Sotheby’s in 2007 and purchased by Amazon.com for nearly $4 million, benetting Rowling’s own charity, Lumos.
An incredible representation of a woman’s against-all-odds struggle to share her creative vision that is distinctly connected to and passed on by
Rowling herself. This ordinary chair turned beautiful art piece is an incredible physical manifestation of a woman’s transformation into the modern
world’s foremost literary gure. A small piece of history connected to the mythology of the Wizarding World and one of the most beloved characters
in children’s literature: Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived.

with another man in the background, appears to be for a book illustra-

.5 inches). 3. Mythical illustration in red pencil and ink with a goddess
and cherub angle (3 x 4.5 inches). 4. Watercolor cherub angel leaning
against an empty decorated oval, perhaps to be used as a book heading
or vignette (3.5 x 4.5 inches). 5. Two pen and ink ovals, man and woman
with a walking stick and dog (2.5 x 3.75 inches each). All art is signed by
Stothard except for the watercolor. Each work is mounted and matted.

A Fascinating Look into the Personal Life
of Cole Porter
45319 Cole Porter (American Composer, 1861-1964). Personal
Address Book. [N.p., n.d., ca. 1950’s]. Quarto. Three-ring binder note-
book with Porter’s name lettered in gilt on the front cover, and with
alphabetical tabs. [370] pages. Neatly typed entries. With two blue
pen and one pencil note in Porter’s hand. Pencil notes (in other hands)
throughout. Minor wear (and a few minor repairs) to notebook, a few
leaves with some wear, however, pages generally quite clean. Fine. From
the collection of Donald Carter.
A fascinating item, organized by last name and subject (for example
the “B” entry has people with last names starting with “B,” such as Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Benny and Cecil Beaton; the “B” entry also has entries for
Banks, Barbers, Books, etc.) Whenever someone in this book had passed
away, their entry is neatly crossed out in pencil and marked “deceased.”
Other notes are added to aid Porter’s (or his secretary’s) memory.
Entries include some of the most famous people of the time, includ-
ing Fred Astaire, Gracie Allen, Mrs. Humphrey Bogart “((Betty Bacall)
(now Mrs. Jason Robards)),” Truman Capote, Bennett Cerf, Rosemary
Clooney “((Mrs. José Ferrer)),” Claudette Colbert, Bing Crosby, Tony
Curtis “((wife: Janet Leigh [her name is neatly crossed out])),” Cary Grant,
Katharine Hepburn, Mr. and Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, Gene Kelly,
William S. Paley, David Selznick, James (“Jimmie”) Stewart, Billy Wilder,
and many more. Perhaps most telling are the entries for orthopedic
services and appliances, a “Prosthetist” and several pages of doctors
all across the United States: during a riding accident in 1937, Porter’s
horse fell on his leg and crushed it. From the entries, you can see that
this painful injury (and the thirty-four operations he had) took a lot of
his attention (the leg was eventually amputated in 1958 - the entry for
“Prosthetist” appears to be a newer entry).

Book Cover and Dust Jacket Proofs
by Leon Louis desRosiers for Dodd, Mead
45331 Leon Louis desRo-
siers, Sr.. The DesRosiers
Dodd, Mead & Company Book
Cover Illustration Collection.
1930s. Born in Maine, artist Leon
Louis DesRosiers (1890-1968)
served in WWI, worked at West
Point in the Department of
Military Topology and Graphics,
and was commissioned by the
Museum of Natural History to
illustrate their “history of plants”.
His artwork also extended into
the world of commercial adver-
tising and publishing; a world in
which he created these striking
illustrations for book covers.
Fifty-nine artist proof prints
used in book cover art produc-
tion for several Dodd, Mead &
Co. publications. Also included
is a folded book prospectus, a
book advertisement from J.H. Sears & Co, a “Season’s Greetings” card from West Point, and an advertisement for The East New York Savings Bank.
The genres represented in this collection include mysteries, such as Death in the Air and The Tuesday Club Murders both by Agatha Christie; romances,
such as The Unkissed Bride by Berta Ruck and The Way of Stars by L. Adams Beck; adventures like The Last Continent of Adventure by Walter B. Hayward;
young adult books like The Boys’ Book of Salvage by David Masters and Wonders of the Ant World by Hanns Heinz Ewers; the classic work Astrology for
Everyone by Evangeline Adams; and various collections of plays and other works, some edited by Robert Haven Schauer.
The proofs are trimmed, several mounted or tipped onto various colored sheets of paper, while others are loose. The Romance of Forgotten Towns
by John T. Faris, which has tears in its corners and soiling, has been backed on card stock. The Smaller Penny by Charles Barry has a diagonal bend
across its upper right corner. Death in the Air has faint bleedthrough and wrinkling in its center from mounting glue on its verso. Few works with
bleedthrough from the mounting in the borders.
Wonderfully bright proof prints with light edge wear, few small chips, some corner bends and creases, light foxing, or occasional minor smudges. A
very good collection, featuring proofs from one of the great book illustrators of the 1930s.

A Beautifully Illustrated and Illuminated Manuscript in Persian
of Jami’s Allegorical Romance Yusuf and Zulaykha
45338 Jami (Nur al-
Din ‘Abd al-Rahman
ibn Ahmad Jami,
1414-1492). Yusuf and
Zulaykha [in Persian].
[Kashmir, late 18th or
early 19th century].
Manuscript in Persian on
polished cream paper
with rounded corners.
Small octavo (7.875 x
5.375 inches; 201 x 136
mm.). Complete with [2,
blank], [208], [3, blank]
leaves, unfoliated (the
blank leaves appear to
be integral with the text).
Written space: 5.375 x
3.1875 inches; 137 x 81 mm. Written in neat nasta’liq script in black ink, with chapter titles in red or orange, in double columns of twelve lines within
cloud bands outlined in black on gold grounds, and intercolumnar foliate decoration in gold and red. The text on each page is enclosed on three
sides within a frame of oral decoration in gold, green, and red, and black, red, gold, and orange rules on all four sides, with an outer black rule bor-
der near the edge of the page. Some pages with text written diagonally, the resulting triangular spaces lled with oral decoration in gold, green,
and red.
Recto of rst leaf with a circular gold medallion outlined in black; verso of rst leaf and recto of second leaf with a richly illuminated hand-painted
double-page frontispiece in gold and dark blue, with minute oral decoration, and rules and outlines in green, orange, red, light blue, and white, the
central rectangular panels containing the opening verses in double columns of six lines within cloud bands on a gold ground. Sixty-ve beautifully
illuminated hand-painted miniatures illustrating the text, all but one with tissue guards. Each miniature with at least one line of text above and below
(some with as many as ve above and two below). Catchwords written obliquely on the verso of each leaf across the border.
In its original hand-painted lacquered papier-maché binding with red leather spine and corners. Covers with an all-overall oral design in gilt and
colors on a black ground with a central scalloped medallion and pendants and cornerpieces with oral decoration on a gold ground. Doublures with
a owering tree in orange and red on a red ground. The binding is worn and cracked in places, with some areas of surface loss; hinges reinforced, but
cracked.
The rst leaf is quite soiled and worn, remargined at the lower edge, and possibly reinserted; second leaf also soiled, with the corners extended; fol.
[9] (with the miniature on the verso of the Mi’raj or night ride of the Prophet Muhammad to heaven) extended at the lower margin and upper outer
margin; several additional leaves with tiny marginal tears or repairs. Considerable thumbsoiling from heavy use, especially to the lower corners; some
edge browning and light fraying; several leaves with ink spot or smudges; a few leaves with small stains or water spotting; occasional dampstaining,
mostly at the edges. The pigment is rubbed or aking on a few of the miniatures; there is bleedthrough from the green pigment in some miniatures
to the opposite page. One tissue guard with a two-inch tear from the lower edge; two tissue guards with ink tracings from the miniatures. Recto of
the rst leaf with an ink inscription and two faint ownership seals.
This manuscript is notable for its large number of miniatures and the unusually large amount of gilt decoration, and its sumptuous appearance
suggests that it was made for a wealthy patron rather than for the commercial market (possibly a Hindu artist or patron, as Krishna is depicted in
Zulaykha’s palace). The miniatures accompanying the text are intricate and include repeated recognizable compositions and stock gures that be-
come as familiar to the reader as the verses themselves, including: Yusuf’s eleven brothers plotting against him (fol. 69v); Yusuf being rescued from
the well (fol. 78r); Zulaykha having her legs chained by her maids after her second vision of Yusuf (fol. 42v); Zulaykha, peeking through a hole in her
tent, discovering that the Vizier is not Yusuf (fol. 57r); Zulaykha’s palace, with six rooms painted with scenes of Yusuf and Zulaykha embracing (fol.
118r); the women of Egypt, overcome by the beauty of Yusuf, cutting their ngers instead of the oranges they are peeling (fol. 140r); the King of Egypt
dreaming of seven fat and seven cows (fol. 160r); Zulaykha, aged with grief, approaching Yusuf as he rides by (fol. 176r); the angel Jibra’il (Gabriel) giv-
ing Yusuf an apple from the garden of Eden to let him know that it is time for him to die (fol. 190r).
The miniatures appear to be the work of more than one artist, with some not as nely executed as most. This fragile manuscript is an excellent ex-
ample of a Persian manuscript executed in Kashmir in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, and it is in remarkable condition, for having
been so heavily used.
Yusuf and Zulaykha is a retelling of the Biblical story of Joseph, who is sold into slavery and resists the seductive approaches of the wife of his master,
Potiphar. The story appears in the Qur’an as Surat Yusuf, where it is introduced as “the most beautiful of stories.” Jami’s Yusuf and Zulaykha (1484) is
considered the masterpiece of his Haft Awrang (Seven Thrones or Constellation of the Great Bear), a compilation of seven poems in masnavi form, and
it is also the most frequently illustrated of the seven poems. Considered one of the greatest mystical love stories in Islamic literature, Jami’s Yusuf and
Zulaykha is the most popular of the many Persian adaptations of this classic story.

““The Dictionnaire Historique et Critique” is a biographical dictionary writ-
ten by Pierre Bayle (1647-1706), a Huguenot who lived and published
in Holland after eeing his native France due to religious persecution.
The dictionary was rst published in 1697, and enlarged in the second
edition of 1702. An English translation was rst published in 1709. The
overwhelming majority of the entries are devoted to individual people,
whether historical or mythical, but some articles treat religious beliefs
and philosophies. Many of the more controversial ideas in the book
were hidden away in the voluminous footnotes, or slipped into articles
on seemingly uncontroversial topics. The rigor and skeptical approach
used in the Dictionary inuenced many thinkers of the Enlightenment,
including Denis Diderot and the other Encyclopedistes, David Hume,
and George Berkeley.” [Wikipedia].

A Beautiful Book Warmly Inscribed
by Leni Riefenstahl to a Notorious
Nazi War Criminal
45362 [Leni Riefenstahl, association]. Friedrich Nietzsche.
Dionysos Dithyramben. [Leipzig: Insel-Verlag, 1914]. One of 150 copies
designed by artist Henry van de Velde and printed by Joh. Enschede.
This is copy number 63. Inscribed by Leni Riefenstahl on the front
free endpaper: “Meinem lieben Freund Julius Streicher / zu
Weihnachten 1940. / Leni Riefenstahl”. Large quarto. Approximately
11 x 8.75 inches. Finely bound in the publisher’s full brown levant mo-
rocco, boards ruled in gilt, front board lettered and tooled in gilt, spine
with ve raised bands. Title-page heightened in gilt. Some rubbing
and moderate wear to binding, front joint starting at top and bottom,
light occasional thumbsoiling in text. A near ne copy of a beautifully-
produced book. Housed in later custom-built clear plastic box.
Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003) was a highly talented dancer, actress and
author. But she is perhaps best known as a lm director, making some
of the most notable (and nest) propaganda lms ever made (the most
famous being Triumph des Willens from 1935 [Triumph of the Will], and
Olympia, 1938). These lms (and others) gloried and extolled the Nazis
and were used as powerful tools to promote their cause, although
Riefenstahl later claimed she didn’t make these lms for that purpose.
After the war, she spent her life writing bestselling books, some illus-
trated by her excellent photographs, and traveling. She also vehemently
denied aiding the Nazis, having any knowledge of the Holocaust, or
harboring any political feelings.
Her warm inscription to Julius Streicher (1885-1946), however, seems to
cast at least some doubt as to her political naiveté. Streicher was Hitler’s
good friend and most anti-Semitic associate (later known as “Jew-Baiter
Number one”), who ran the propagandist newspaper Der Stürmer, and
wrote three anti-Semitic children’s books (these children’s books are
considered by many to be the most far-reaching and eective anti-
Semitic propaganda used by the Nazis). He ordered the destruction of
the Great Synagogue of Nuremberg during Kristallnacht. Due to his per-
sonal excesses and loathsome personality, however, Streicher fell from
power in 1940, although he was allowed to continue publishing Der
Stürmer. Streicher was tried for crimes against humanity at Nuremberg,
was sentenced to death on October 1, 1946, and was hanged fteen
days later.

The origin of Codex Borgia has been a topic of debate since rst published. There appears to be a consensus that they correspond to the Mixteca-
Puebla style but exactly where they t into that spectrum of works is dicult to pin down. Most arguments are on the basis of stylistic and icono-
graphic elements, but a direct relation to any particular aspect of material culture is tenuous.

the most intriguing books of speculative science from the nineteenth-

First Edition of a high spot in the history
of formal gardens. “La Quintinye was one
of the Great French agriculturists of the
17th century. He was also interested in
horticulture and gardens, and Louis XIV
felt his work was so important, that he
created for him the post of Directeur General des Portagers Royaux.
Though La Quintinie held this post with distinction for forty years, his
modesty was such that he published nothing of his own during his
lifetime. This was rectied shortly after his death when the Instructions
pour le Jardins Fruitiers et Postagers was brought out in 1690. It was so
practical and lled such a need that it went into many editions.” (Hunt
describing the 1692 edition).

1846. Complete in six volumes. [and:] Fifth Series: From the Declaration of Independence, in 1776, to the Denitive Treaty of Peace with Great Britain,

comprising the complete Fourth Series and Fifth Series [all published]. Pages double-columned, with each column enumerated as a separate page;

[Complete with:] William J. Stone for Peter Force: The Declaration of Independence. Single oversized sheet, approximately 29 x 24.5 inches, cop-
perplate engraving on thin rice paper. Folded and placed in Volume I, Fifth Series. Vertical and horizontal creases. One tear, approximately 4 inches on
the right margin near the mount (aecting some text), and another tear, approximately 1 inch on the left margin, not aecting text. In 1820, Secretary
of State John Quincy Adams had commissioned William J. Stone of Washington to engrave an exact copy of the original Declaration of Independence
onto a copperplate, a process which took three years to complete. Stone used a new Wet-Ink transfer process to create a copperplate from which
facsimile copies could then be made. By wetting the original document, some of the original ink was transferred to the copperplate, which was
then used for printing. There were 201 ocial parchment copies struck from the Stone plate. These are identied as “Engraved by W. J. Stone for the
Department of State, by order” in the upper left corner, followed by “of J. Q. Adams, Sec. of State July 4th 1824” in the upper right corner. Stone kept
one copy for himself (this copy now resides in the Smithsonian) and delivered 200 copies to the Department of State. In 1833, historian and printer
Peter Force, under contract with the Department of State authorized by an act of Congress, planned to compile a vast work in at least twenty vol-
umes, to be known as the American Archives, a Documentary History of the English Colonies in North America. It included legislative records, documents,
and historic private correspondence. Six volumes were published from 1837-1846 and three more were published between 1846-1853. The nine vol-
umes covered the years 1774-1776. The “Wet Ink” copperplate created by William J. Stone had been removed from storage and, from it, Force printed
copies on rice paper. In the lower left of each copy, Force printed: “W. J. STONE SC. WASHN.” These documents were then folded and inserted into the
American Archives collection.
Peter Force’s unnished mammoth series documenting the early history of the North American colonies. He had initially planned twenty volumes in
six “series,” but only nine were completed: the volumes containing documents of the Revolutionary War era. The First, Second, Third, and Sixth Series
were never published. “This great storehouse of British Colonial and American history was printed by order of the United States Government. It was
the intention to divide the work into six series, from 1493 to 1789. The nine volumes described are all that have appeared” (Sabin). Peter Force (1790-
1868) drew on his own huge private collection of printed and manuscript documents relating to the history of North America and the United States
as sources for these Archives. When the Library of Congress was established in 1867, one year before his death, his treasure trove of documents was
purchased — by an Act of Congress — for the astounding sum of $100,000. A massive work and an invaluable collection of Americana with the fa-
mous Declaration of Independence facsimile - not usually found as issued with the set.

Fargo detective James B. Hume “Special ocer W.F. & Co. San
Francisco, Cal.” at the top edge of the front free endpaper. Original

mild dampstaining to the lower right corner; spine leather chipping and
with some small areas of loss; spine neatly repaired; endpapers toned,
otherwise nicely preserved and in very good condition. Oered in a cus-
tom clamshell case with gilt stamped spine label.
Known previously as Dry Diggin’s, and later “Hangtown” due to its noto-
rious reputation for hangings, the city was renamed Placerville in 1854
upon its incorporation. At the time it was California’s third largest city.
Placerville was a central hub for the Mother Lode region’s mining opera-
tions. The town had many services, including transportation of people
and goods, lodging, banking, and had a market and general store. The
“Explanation” errata makes a slightly tongue-in-cheek reference to the
city’s hanging past: “A slight error occurs in the History of Placerville,
which was not discovered until after the work was in the binders’ hands.
The Soubriquet of ‘Hangtown’ was applied to Placerville not from the
hanging of ‘Irish Dick’ in 1850, but from the summary execution of the
two Frenchmen and the Spaniard, who were hung in 1849, and not in
1854 as stated on page 11. No hanging, by a mob, has occurred here
since 1850.” James B. Hume, whose ownership stamp is present in this
copy, is considered by many to be one of the rst modern detectives in
the United States. He was involved in several shootouts and standos,
his most famous case his tracking and arrest of the outlaw “Black Bart”.
Hume is listed on page 44 as “deputy collector; house; Piety Hill”.

just following the printing and delivery of the work to her. The re took
place while Mrs. Hamilton was absent, carrying the books for presenta-
tion. The narrative is a minute record, written in rhyming stanzas from
the author’s own personal journal of the trip across the plains from
Garnaville, Iowa, via Council Blus, Fort Boise, and on to the Oregon
Settlements.” (Eberstadt).

General Philip Sheridan’s Personal Copy

Mountain Scenery, With a Description of the Geographical and
Geological Features, and Some Account of the Resources of the Great
West; Containing Thirty Photographic Views Along the Line of the
Pacic Rail Road, From Omaha to Sacramento. New York: Julius Bien,
1870. First edition. Inscribed by the author to Lt. General Philip
Sheridan on the second front free endpaper: “To Lt. General P. H.
Sheridan / With the kind regards / of the author. / New York City /
May 16 1871”. Quarto. Viii, [1]-150 pages. Illustrated with 30 mounted
albumen print photographs on card paper with printed captions by
Andrew Joseph Russell. The photographs measure approximately 6.75”
x 9”. Later green leather binding with portions of the original spine laid
down. All edges gilt. Later marbled endpapers. With the library label of
Jay Snider on the front pastedown. Some damp to the lower edges of
the preliminary pages; occasional scattered soiling; modest shelf wear
to boards, else a very good copy.
Andrew Joseph Russell (1829-1902) was commissioned by the Union
Pacic Railroad to photographically document the construction of the
route from Omaha to Sacramento. Reduced from the original, much
larger glass plate negatives, twelve of these photographs show scenes
in Wyoming, sixteen in Utah, and two in the Sierra Nevada. A key piece
of photographic western Americana as well as landscape photography,
made more important with its association with General Philip Sheridan,
who was no doubt well acquainted with much of the book’s contents.

wrapper slightly water stained at the top in upper blank margins, else
ne. Housed in a brown morocco clamshell case.
Written as an attack on the actions of the Wyoming Stock Growers
Association during the Johnson County War, much confusion exists
about Mercer’s book. Howes writes that the book was printed but never
published, having been impounded in a local Wyoming court as the
result of a libel suit and ordered to be destroyed. Copies were allegedly
stolen and smuggled to Denver where they were later bound. He at-
tributes the scarcity of the book to this and the case of cattlemen and
their sympathizers destroying any copies discovered. Reese disputes
much of this and believes the book was actually printed in Denver.
Whatever the case, the book is dicult to nd, this example from the
Jay Snider collection and in particularly nice condition.

Rare Work Providing an Excellent Account of New Mexico’s Pueblo Indians
45497 Balduin Möllhausen. Tagebuch
Einer Reise vom Mississippi Nach den
Küsten der Südsee. Leipzig: Hermann
Mendelssohn, 1858. First edition. Quarto.
Xiv, [1] half-title, [1] blank, 1-494, [2] expla-
nation of folding map pages. German text.
Folding map bound in back and 13 plates
under tissue guards, some hand-colored
and tinted; 10 woodcuts. Publisher’s origi-
nal cloth, rebacked. Titles stamped in gilt on
the front board. Text block likely has been
trimmed; blue cloth tape applied to the edges of the boards; endpapers replaced. Contents with moderate to heavy foxing, otherwise about very
good.
The most important work of this notable German artist and topographer, who accompanied several of the leading western surveys of the 1850s. This
book describes his experiences with the Pacic Railroad survey under Lieutenant Amiel Whipple, investigating a potential route along the 35th paral-
lel in 1853, which took the party across northern New Mexico and Arizona. The work is notable for its plates of the Pueblo Indians and Möllhausen’s
account of them. “...In addition to the account in journal form of his experiences as topographer of Whipple’s surveying expedition in 1853, there is an
account of his experiences in the West in 1851 on a trip from St. Louis to Laramie with Prince Paul of Wurttemberg” (Streeter). Möllhausen’s career and
the chronology of these expeditions are described in detail by Taft. The Tagebuch is extremely scarce in the marketplace.

the Indian warfare that took place after the Sioux Uprising in Minnesota
in 1862. Myers was also with Sully’s expedition through the Bad Lands
of Dakota to the Yellowstone and contains his accounts of Indian ghts
and the rescue of Fanny Kelly. Myers’ account was reprinted in 1936 and
this rst edition has rarely made it to market in the last few decades.

The book includes three foldout tables and ve foldout maps (with an additional one page map bringing the total to six). Texas, while not specically
named, is seen in several of the maps (particularly A Map of the Internal Provinces of New Spain) and includes the settlements of San Antonio and El
Paso (labeled simply as “Norte”). The maps were the rst to describe the terrain of the Southwest based on rst-hand accounts and are considered
“milestones in the mapping of the American West” (Wheat). Pike’s account was the rst complete account of Texas presented in English. Zebulon Pike
joined his father’s regiment as a cadet in 1794, earning a commission as ensign in 1799 and a rst lieutenancy later that year. In 1806, Pike led what is
now known as “the Pike Expedition” from Fort Bellefontaine to explore the American Southwest. Ironically, Pike never successfully reached the sum-
mit of the famous peak in modern-day Colorado that bears his name. He made it as far as Mt. Rosa to the southeast of Pikes Peak, and gave up the as-
cent in waist-deep snow after having gone almost two days without food. Pike served with the 4th Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Tippecanoe and
in New Orleans, and as inspector-general during the War of 1812. Pike commanded combat troops in the successful attack on York, Ontario, on April
27, 1813. He was killed by ying rocks and other debris when the retreating British garrison blew up its ammunition.

Fabulous Unrecorded Overland Guide
Circa 1859
45525 [Map]. Previously Unrecorded Overland Guide and
Pocket Map of the United States. [San Francisco]: E. A. Taylor, [1859].
Approximately 23.5” x 28.5”. Folded into pocket covers it measures ap-
proximately 3.5” x 5,5”. Broadside with text surrounding map, in pocket
map format. The broadside is titled: “Railroad, Steamboat and Stage
Routes in the United States” [center above map] “Entered according to
Act of Congress, in the year 1859, by E. A. Taylor, in the Clerk’s Oce
of the District Court of the Northern District of California. [colophon]

columns. Inset map at center: “Map of the United States of America

eral states and Territories The proposed Routes of the Pacic Rail Road

proximately 9.5” x 11.5”. Slight loss and light toning along a few folds,
else a ne example of this previously unknown guide. Preserved in a
black calf and cloth custom clamshell case.
This unrecorded broadside is of particular interest for its listing of routes
between various places in the U.S., from the East to West coasts, al-
though most of the routes listed are in the East. Detailed routes to Texas
are given, as are numerous routes to reach New Orleans. Overland mail
routes and wagon road distances are also given. An interesting feature
of the map is the location of Pike’s Peak and one of the early references
to gold in Colorado. Greenwood lists printers John O’Meara and J. B.
Painter active in San Francisco from 1854-1859. Taylor is also listed as
having copyrighting several other works, including a map quite similar
in title to this one in 1858 (see Greenwood page 495, item 165). Kuchel
& Dresel were prominent lithographers who produced a large body of
work during their careers. This unusual broadside/pocket map is unre-
corded in Cowan, Gra, Greenwood, Wagner-Camp, etc.

to cross the plains. “Streeter describes the Wyeth Expedition as “that
extraordinary venture by a band of hardy Yankees from Cambridge,
Massachusetts who failed to get rich quick in the fur trade but who
succeeded in crossing the Rocky Mountains to within 400 miles of the
Pacic.” (Wagner-Camp). There is no errata slip in this copy, as Howes
calls for, and Wagner-Camp says that some copies were issued with one,
but neither the Streeter copy, the Gra copy, or the copy in the Bancroft

Terms and Conditions of Auction
Auctioneer and Auction:
1. is Auction is presented by Heritage Auctions, a d/b/a/ of Heritage Auctioneers & Galleries, Inc.,
or Heritage Auctions, Inc., or Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc., or Heritage Vintage Sports
Auctions, Inc., or Currency Auctions of America, Inc., as identied with the applicable licensing
information on the title page of the catalog or on the HA.com Internet site (the “Auctioneer”). e
Auction is conducted under these Terms and Conditions of Auction and applicable state and local
law. Announcements and corrections from the podium and those made through the Terms and
Conditions of Auctions appearing on the Internet at HA.com supersede those in the printed catalog.
Buyer’s Premium:
2. All bids are subject to a Buyer’s Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid:
• Fieen percent (15%) on Domain Names & Intellectual Property Auction lots;
• Seventeen and one-half percent (17.5%) on Currency, US Coin, and World & Ancient Coin Auction lots,
except for Gallery Auction lots as noted below;
• Nineteen and one-half percent (19.5%) on Comic, Movie Poster, Sports Collectibles, and Gallery Auction
(sealed bid auctions of mostly bulk numismatic material) lots;
• Twenty-two percent (22%) on Wine Auction lots;
• For lots in all other categories not listed above, the Buyer’s Premium per lot is twenty-ve percent (25%)
on the rst $200,000 (minimum $14), plus twenty percent (20%) of any amount between $200,000 and
$2,000,000, plus twelve percent (12%) of any amount over $2,000,000.
Auction Venues:
3. e following Auctions are conducted solely on the Internet: Heritage Weekly Internet Auctions
(Coin, Currency, Comics, Rare Books, Jewelry & Watches, Guitars & Musical Instruments, and
Vintage Movie Posters); Heritage Monthly Internet Auctions (Sports, World Coins and Rare Wine).
Signature® Auctions and Grand Format Auctions accept bids from the Internet, telephone, fax, or
mail rst, followed by a oor bidding session; HeritageLive! and real- time telephone bidding are
available to registered clients during these auctions.
Bidders:
4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these
Terms and Conditions of Auction (“Bidder(s)”).
5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneer’s qualications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good
standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualied at Auctioneer’s sole option and will not be awarded
lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time
prior to, during, or even aer the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any
person from the auction.
6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally
guarantee payment for any successful bid.
Credit:
7. In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either
furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or
supply valid credit card information along with a social security number, well in advance of the
Auction. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program will only be accepted from pre-
registered Bidders. Bidders who are not members of HA.com or aliates should preregister at least
48 hours before the start of the rst session (exclusive of holidays or weekends) to allow adequate
time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally
Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established
credit history may be required to provide their social security number or the last four digits thereof
so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneer’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing
privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit
based on a combination of criteria: HA.com history, related industry references, bank verication,
a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance
of the auction venue.
Bidding Options:
8. Bids in Signature® Auctions or Grand Format Auctions may be placed as set forth in the printed
catalog section entitled “Choose your bidding method.” For auctions held solely on the Internet,
see the alternatives on HA.com. Review at http://www.ha.com/c/ref/web-tips.zx#biddingTutorial.
9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail
bids) are treated similar to oor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment (called
a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment
will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised amount will be
considered your high bid.
10. Auctioneer’s Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in
bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids are
submitted, preference is given to the rst received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written
bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneer’s place
of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for
executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or aer the day the rst lot is sold, nor Internet bids
submitted aer the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of
bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. Bids
placed electronically via the internet may not be withdrawn until your written request is received
and acknowledged by Auctioneer (FAX: 214-409-1425); such requests must state the reason, and
may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be
delivered at the Auction unless prearranged.
11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest
amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be
any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between
increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: “How can I lose by less
than an increment?” on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy”
or “unlimited” bids will be accepted.
e following chart governs current bidding increments
(see HA.com/c/ref/web-tips.zx#guidelines-increments).
Current Bid ..............Bid Increment
< $10.................................................$1

$5,000,000 - $9,999,999 .... $250,000
>= $10,000,000 .................. $500,000
12. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a bid at half
of the increment (“Cut Bid”) only once per lot. Aer oering a Cut Bid, bidders may continue
to participate only at full increments. O-increment bids may be accepted by the Auctioneer at
Signature® Auctions and Grand Format Auctions. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the
expected increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids.
Conducting the Auction:
13. Notice of the consignor’s liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in
accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A “Minimum Bid” is
an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE
WRITTEN ”Minimum Bids” ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS, IF
THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE “Minimum Bid”, THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY A
REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. ”Minimum Bids” are generally posted online several
days prior to the Auction closing. For any successful bid placed by a consignor on his Property
on the Auction oor, or by any means during the live session, or aer the ”Minimum Bid” for an
Auction have been posted, we will require the consignor to pay full Buyer’s Premium and Seller’s
Commissions on such lot.
14. e highest qualied Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid,
the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any Bidders at an
Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoer the lot. Auctioneer’s decision and declaration
of the winning Bidder shall be nal and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly oered, whether
by oor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such
cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of
whether a competing bid may have been higher. Auctioneer reserves the right aer the hammer fall
to accept bids and reopen bidding for bids placed through the Internet or otherwise.
15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in its sole
discretion. A bid is considered not made in “Good Faith” when made by an insolvent or irresponsible
person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory credit, collectibles
references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid by a consignor or his
agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in “Good Faith.” Any person apparently
appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid.
16. Nominal Bids. e Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids, or
very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 40–60% of the low estimate, the
Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor.
17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer’s discretion (generally 40%-60% of the low
estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass as unsold.
18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken. Auctioneer
reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction.
19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty,
disputed ownership, auctioneer’s clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for
any other reason and in Auctioneer’s sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s election
to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and
buyer’s premium) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot.
20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer
periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which
Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend
bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to
contact Client Services at 877-HERITAGE (437-4824).
21. e Auctioneer, its aliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may
bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or aliates expressly reserve the right to modify any
such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its
aliates. e Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors.
22. e Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items aer the close of the Auction. Such lots
shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such
sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.
Payment:
23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier
checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, and are subject to all reporting
requirements). All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in Auctioneer’s account
before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. Auctioneer
reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are
subject to a ten business day hold, and thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Clients
with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via eCheck, personal, or
corporate checks. All others will be subject to a hold of 5 days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to
releasing merchandise. (Ref. T&C item 7 Credit for additional information.) Payments can be made
24-48 hours post auction from the My Orders page of the HA.com website.
24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer
reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7 days aer the close
of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s election to void a sale does not relieve the
Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premium) on the lot and
any other damages pertaining to the lot or Auctioneer, at its option, may charge a twenty (20%)
restock fee on the amount of the purchase and oset the restock fee against any monies paid to the
Auctioneer or against any of the purchaser’s properties held by the Auctioneer.
25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless
appropriate permits are on le with Auctioneer. Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the actual amount
of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate,
or inappropriate tax certicate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable
statute, 3) or any other reason. e appropriate form or certicate must be on le at and veried by
Auctioneer ve days prior to Auction, or tax must be paid; only if such form or certicate is received
by Auctioneer within 4 days aer the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made. Lots from dierent
Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.
26. In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the
maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If you attempt to pay via eCheck
and your nancial institution denies this transfer from your bank account, or the payment cannot
be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to complete payment using your credit
card on le.
27. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance
will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice
not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount. If the Auctioneer
refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs,
and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection to its in-house
legal sta, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable
to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.
28. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell
the lot(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at
subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer. A
defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 15% seller’s commission,
if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). e defaulting Bidder is liable to pay any

We continue to see an explosion in short domain name values. Over the past 12 months, short, one word .com
names and acronyms of two to four letters have dramatically risen in value. Those buyers who jumped in and acquired
short .com names in our first few auctions are sitting on a tremendous equity position. A new wave of domain investment
has created a multi-year value appreciation environment.
Our upcoming auction, held April 19th, will feature a hand-picked inventory of short domain names which are ideal for
branding or investment. There are over 300,000,000 registered domain names, but the supply of short .com names is very
small. Demand is high and supply is low. However, we are bringing 50 names to auction that are priced extremely well.
Highlights of this auction include:
Quick.com | Timeless.com | 720.com | Balloon.com | Tablets.com
Helicopter.com | Leash.com | Release.com | GMK.com | Sit.com | XFactor.com
Over $10,000,000 in domain names have been sold by Heritage Auctions over the past two years alone, including these
recent auction/sales results:
NL.com $575,000 | Digital.com $373,000 | Cute.com $230,000
Luxe.com $173,000 | Classic.com $173,000
