COTTON, Charles, The Wonders of The Peake, 1681, FIRST EDITION
Located in Hillsborough, NJ
AUTHOR: COTTON, Charles.
TITLE: The Wonders of The Peake.
PUBLISHER: London: for Joanna Brome, 1681.
DESCRIPTION: FIRST EDITION. 1 vol., 6-7/8" x 4-1/2", [ii]86pp., complete, bound in contemporary full speckled calf, covers ruled in blind.
CONDITION: Internally clean and bright, inner and outer hinges fine, head and foot of spine rubbed with some minor loss, overall VERY GOOD.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The dedicatee is Elizabeth, Duchess of Devonshire. Written in heroic couplets, this work by Cotton was one of the first landscape poems of a movement which only became significant under Queen Anne.
Charles Cotton published this satirical poem just five years after Thomas Hobbes' own "Wonders of the Peak" poem was translated into English. Cotton's poem recalls a visit to the 'Devil's Arse', nowadays known as Peak Cavern, in Castleton.
Cotton is also known for contributing a treatise on fly fishing for trout in the second edition of Izaak Walton's famous book, "The Compleat Angler".

Ferraro: My Story, Signed by Geraldine Ferraro, First Edition, 1985
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Ferraro, Geraldine, with Linda Bird Franke. Ferrero: My Story. New York: Bantam Books, 1985. Signed by Ferrero on free front endpaper. Octavo. In publisher’s original cream cloth spine over cream boards and original pictorial dust jacket.
Presented is a signed, first edition of Geraldine Ferraro’s memoir, Ferrero: My Life. The book was published by Bantam Books in New York, in November of 1985. It is signed “Geraldine Ferrero” on the free front end page, in black felt-tipped ink. The book also has a lovely gift inscription to the previous owner, explaining the circumstances and date of the signing, as well as a color photograph of Ferraro signing books. The book is presented in its publisher’s original cream cloth spine over cream boards, with copper embossed titles to the spine, and original pictorial first edition dust jacket.

In this memoir, Geraldine Ferraro reflects on her experience as the first woman nominated by a major party to run on the presidential ticket. This book reveals the process that led to her nomination as the 1984 Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate with Walter Mondale and gives a revealing behind-the-scenes look at campaign politics, especially the criticism directed at her and her family throughout her campaign.
Ferraro shines a light on the dynamics of women in Congress and discusses how their different life experiences affect the policy making process. She also gives thanks and credit to the pioneering women, like Bella Abzug...

Antique and Vintage Books
Antique and vintage books add a sense of culture and style to any room. Displaying these types of books in your living room or reading nook can warm a space with a distinguished feel.
Several factors make antique books highly desirable. Original jackets, ornate binding, illustrations and quality of the print all contribute to making a vintage book special. Rare books are of great interest to collectors in the know and can command high prices at auction. In 2021, an important early artist book by Andy Warhol sold at auction for more than $106,000. Somewhere between all the commercial work he did as an ambitious young graphic designer in the early 1950s and his first real debut as a Pop artist a decade later, Warhol produced a trove of incredibly charming drawings. His illustrated self-published artist books from the 1950s are very rare.
Many collectors seek the first edition of certain books. Fewer copies of a book and higher demand make it a rare find. A book that contains the author’s signature also makes it much more prized than other examples of the same title.
Collectors and designers decorate rooms with vintage books for a cozy feeling in a home. Coffee-table books, such as those featuring photography and design, serve as conversation pieces or offer a relaxing moment when leafed through.
Interior designers look for vintage books when they want to add color or detail. For instance, leather-bound books can create a scholarly air while mid-century titles offer a modern edge. Vintage international books or first editions can provide a sense of history.
No matter the genre, there is a book for you. You can find rare, one-of-a-kind antique books on 1stDibs. Browse by authors, like celebrated architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright and Edgar Rice Burroughs, as well as by period, including mid-century modern, Art Deco and Victorian.
