Nicolai Canetti Knihy

There are certain immutable maxims about Paris that remain constant no matter the season not the year nor your mood when you visit. First of all, it is a beautiful city and your eyes will be pleased, whether by day and seeing the soft outlines of the buildings punctuated by red awnings over the cafes, or by night walking down the Champs Elysees and seeing the Arc de Triomphe lit up as if to proudly declare that it stands at the head of the most impressive boulevard in the world. It is also difficult to be fed badly in Paris. The challenge of a good meal does not necessarily have to be met in a three star restaurant with prices to match. To the contrary, every bistro has its luncheon specials that are satisfying both to the palate and to the purse.It is also the most satisfying walking city of any place in the world. One may literally choose at random a route through any section of the sprawling metropolis and be pleased by the sight of the shops and the cares and the sound of the language which is after all the most pleasing of any tongue known to man. You begin with the delightful, diverse rooftops of Paris and are compelled to discover the city below. It is amazingly worthwhile - a colourful, dazzling festival that is gracefully available for all who would take pleasure from her.

Fair. See scans and description. New Little Leather Library, undated but circa 1922. The Sidewalks of New York, by Bernardine Kielty. This is a scarce title in the LLL series, being a commission by the Bowman Hotels (John McEntee Bowman, President), and therefore thus stamp-patterned on the covers, notably the rear cover (see scans). 48mo - a miniature book, 3 7/8" tall; green and copper flexible leatherette boards (the "Redcroft" edition), 92 pp. Fair, due to the fact that the front cover long ago became separated, and a prior owner had tried to repair it with transparent tape, unsuccessfully. That front cover is present, but still detached. The balance of the book, including the rear cover, meets Very Good standards for this series, with notable endpaper foxing, but none internally, and some cover wear, those elements being characteristic. From the Little Leather Library series of promotional miniatures. Fragile. All such versions from LLL would have been treated as promotional ephemera at the time. This Bowman Hotels issue is extremely scarce now. For the collector of miniatures, literature, or ephemera. See all scans. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. L200
