hb Johndro, L. Edward The Stars: How and Where they Influence 1st Doherty Pub Co., San Bernardino, California 1929 £85 The rare true first edition of this highly intelligent look at the theoretical astrological influence of the fixed stars. The book was reprinted by Weiser more than half a century later in 1970 Original full cloth in vgc+ condition for age, with patch of rubbing to foot of spine, moderate rubbing towards foot of front spine hinge, and trace towards foot of front board. The gilt titling to both front board and spine are well-preserved on this copy. D. G. Nelson of Chicago distributor’s stamp to blank part of title page. Plain-pencilled ring around one paragraph to p. 17 and around part of one word to p. 118. Correction to minute value at head of a calculation on p. 34, and similar minor correction to a digit on p. 42. No other permanent previous owner markings found. The one significant fault on this copy is a faint damp stain to the lower outer margins, very small at first but gradually increasing in size and very occasionally crossing the extreme lower outer characters of text towards the end of the volume. Externally vgc+; internally good+. Overall, a very good copy.
