My book expertise came with many years as Chairman of London P.B.F.A. & exhibiting at bookfairs. My name is Jason Burley. I learnt the trade as a bookdealer at the former Francis Edwards Ltd. 84 Marylebone High Street, London W1 as a teenager, working alongside the late Alan Mitchell, Reg Remington, Anthony Gilbert and Clive Farahar (expert on books and manuscripts on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow, which he joined in 1986). In 1984 I opened my own independent bookshop in Camden, London NW1. In 2002 I opened a bookshop premises in Old Street, London EC1 and in 2015 I opened Burley Fisher Books, my current bookshop, in Haggerston E4. I was chairman of the PBFA (London) for over four years and exhibited at the monthly Russell Hotel, London PBFA Bookfairs for about fifteen years alongside Bernard Shaphero, Jarndyce Books, Blackwell's Rare Books, Jean Hedger, M.E. Korn, Robert Frew, Sotherans and many others. Under my chairmanship, the PBFA (London) founded and established specialist bookfairs (Military, Travel, Art, Children's books) in London. I now focus on cataloguing books online, while my partner, Sam Fisher, runs the bookshop selling new and secondhand books with a permanent staff of four bookdealers. I retired from bookfairs & the PBFA in about 2000, and engaged with internet bookselling directly through my own website. I have recently updated my website for making my books available for purchase and am busy loading new material onto it daily. IOBA provides an additional layer of confidence to potential clients wanting to buy expensive books from me online, people who have not met me or bought books from me in the past and do not therefore personally know who I am. I would always be delighted to meet you by appointment at my central London rare book-room at home or my bookshop, Burley Fisher Books. 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 Featured Items Danger 66,000 Volts TGM 0038 Submission Stage 2 Rem Koolhaas/Office for Metropolitan Architecture VIEW DETAILS OVER 100 HAND-COLOURED AQUATINT COSTUME PLATES FROM 1814 VIEW DETAILS Gideon Harvey The city remembrancer: being historical narratives of the great plague at London, 1665 VIEW DETAILS WILLIAMS (Samuel Wells) .

As issued in marbled calf with red morocco title labels on the spines; both frontispieces are present, one is a portrait of Smith, the other his coat of arm; both folding maps as well as the folding plate are present, making this set complete. Expected foxing and toning to the pages, at times heavy; the folding maps and plates are in remarkably nice condition, neatly folded with virtually no edgewear; boards have been discreetly reinforced with Japanese tissue and toned to blend; spine leather is darkened and somewhat desiccated; bottom corner of the front board of Volume 1 is bumped with some loss to the board behind the leather. Neverthelesss, the set presently quite nicely. This is the first edition of Smith's work published in America, taken from the London 1629 edition. A. L. Rowse remarks in an introduction to another edition, “There are few books of the Jacobean age that have left such an impact on history.... Captain John Smith's history of Virginia, with its stories of Pocahontas, has deeply influenced the American conception of the country's earliest days and made an indelible impression upon American folklore and popular belief, not to mention history.” A remarkable set.

  • Confederate Imprint THE PARTISAN LEADER: A NOVEL

    Confederate Imprint THE PARTISAN LEADER: A NOVEL PRICE ​ $650 PURCHASE / MORE INFO View Member Profile Tucker, [Nathaniel] Beverley | edited by Thos. A. Ware. THE PARTISAN LEADER: A NOVEL. And an Apocalypse of the Origin and Struggles of the Southern Confederacy. Richmond: West & Johnston, 1862. Octavo. [2, blank], viii, 220, [4, ads], [2, blank] pp. Confederate Imprint. Stitched into printed wrappers. Covers are a trifle soiled and contents are variously foxed/toned, at times moderately to heavily. Nevertheless, remarkably well preserved in Very Good condition. In the introduction, Ware touts Tucker's novel as predictive of the Civil War, though written 25 years earlier. In "In Tall Cotton," Harwell calls this, "the grandfather of Civil War novels. It was written as an anti-Jackson and Van Buren document in the guise of fiction and published surreptitiously in Washington in 1836, with a fictitious imprint date of 1856. It describes a war centering in the southwestern mountains of Virginia in which the South is victorious. It was republished in New York in 1861 as anti-Confederate propaganda and then in Richmond in 1862 as pro-Confederate propaganda."
