By: Scott, Sir Walter

Price: $275.00

Publisher: Edinburgh, Cadell : 1830

Edition: First Edition

Seller ID: 003699

Binding: Original Boards

Condition: Fair

Here is one of the most difficult of the works of Sir Walter Scott to find. Published by Cadell and Co. in Edinburgh this is Todd and Bowden 239A. Although "officially" this is a First edition and second issue it is also the First issue in complete and separate form. This drama in verse had been written twelve years before for production on the stage. For various reasons it was considered unsuitable at the time and wound up being published in extracts in periodical literary publications. When it was decided in 1830 to publish the book as a whole Scott worked on it again and this volume was the...

Publisher: London, Archibald Constable : 1823

Edition: First Edition

Seller ID: 002945

Binding: Half-Leather

Condition: Very Good+

This three volume set, bound in half-leather is the First edition of 'Quentin Durward', one of Sir Walter Scott's forty-eight Waverly novels. The leather is bound over marbled boards and there is general wear to the set as we might expect in a book published in 1823.

Scott's Poetical Works - 12 vols

By: Scott, Sir Walter

Price: $685.00

Publisher: Edinburgh, Adam and Charles Black : 1857

Edition: 1st Thus

Seller ID: 003003

Binding: Half-Leather

Condition: Very Good+

For those who are interested in the works of Sir Walter Scott, this set is a real find. The poetical works of Scott are more important than those of many authors because poetry is how he began his career and he never really stopped telling stories in verse. His fascination with his own country's native poetry led him to compile and publish his first work, The Minstrelsy of the Southern Border. After this he began to write full length books in verse such as The Lay of the Last Minstrel and The Lady of the Lake. Scott was a true scholar of literature as well as poetry and these twelve volumes co...

St. Ronan's Well - 3 Vols

By: Scott, Sir Walter

Price: $395.00

Publisher: Edinburgh, Archibald Constable : 1824

Edition: First Edition

Seller ID: 003848

Binding: Half-Leather

Condition: Very Good+

St. Ronan's Well has been called "unique" among the Waverly novels. These beautiful books are bound with a blindstamped leather spine and red leather that encloses the entire perimeter of the front and back boards which are marbled. All edges are also marbled as are the endpapers. This is probably a binding that is near contemporary to the book. It is quite an unusual binding. There is some slight chipping to volume one near the spine on the front board and very slight wear to the other volumes. The half-titles are not present. We find this quite a bit in Scott's novels because many of the bin...

Waverley - LEC

By: Scott, Sir Walter

Price: $95.00

Publisher: Lunenburg Vermont, Limited editions club : 1961

Edition: First Edition Limited/Numbered

Inscription: . Signed by Illustrator

Seller ID: 003001

Binding: Full-Leather

Condition: Near Fine

When this novel was published anonymously in 1814, it created great interest among readers who sought to discover the author. Scott claimed that he published the book this way in order to avoid 'political discussion'. Because the book was published only 60 years after the invasion of Prince Charlie and because the dark and bloody days of 1745 still rankled in the minds of many living people. This book is a historical romance and is the first book in what is known as the Waverly Novels. There were eventually 48 novels in the series including 'Ivanhoe'. This book is in very near fine condition a...
