Alvarez, A. The Biggest Game in Town
Boston Houghton Mifflin 1983 0395339642 First Edition Hard Cover Nearly Very Good Good + 8vo - over 7¾ With Photos Inscribed By Author
...Few books on any game have been received with as much enthusiasm over so long a period. Poets, journalists, casual poker players, and world-class professionals all tend to gush over its lapidary prose, sage hold-em insight, and droll use of cowboy patois as they pass around hard-to-find copies. "Journalism that reads like literature" was its author's lofty ambition; with a narrative involving poker characters rather than a treatise on strategy, he fulfilled it. [At] seventy-one, Alvarez writes in his memoir, Where Did It All Go Right: "It is one of the ironies of my life that although I helped change the way poetry was read in Britain during the fifties and sixties by speaking up for American poets like Lowell, Berryman, and Plath, and introducing the poets of Eastern Europe to British readers, the only place where I am truly famous is Las Vegas...." he also admits, rather sadly, that Biggest Game, among twenty-three others, is "the only book I ever enjoyed writing"...

Barrett, Bryant The Code Napolean, Verbally Translated from the French By Barrett Bryant: To Which is Prefixed an Introductory Discourse Containing a Succinct Account of the Civil Regulations ....[etc]
London W. Reed Law Bookseller 1811 First Edition Full-Leather 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Inscribed By Author
Rare first edition published in two volumes.vol. 1, i-cccxciii (3), 146 +2 pages errata; vol.2, 147-575 ( last page mis-numbered 375), +2 pages errata. In the original contempory full morocco leather bindings. complete as issued. Warm Signed Inscription by Bryant Barrett on the top margin of the title page states "To his venerable Mother from her affectionate son the translator". The Napoleanic Code is the French civil code, established under Napolean l. It is considered the first successful legal codification and strongly influenced the laws of many other countries. The Code, with its stress on clearly written and accessible law, was a major step in establishing 'the rule of law'. Historians have called it "one of the few documents which have influenced the whole world." Bryant Barrett was an English attorney and member of Gray's Inn. His suberb translation is noteworthy in part because it was published the year the code was enacted. As such, it has the advantage of being in the style of English that is an idiomatic contempory to the original French. Many scholars believe that this is the finest translation of the code. Indeed, they have found it to be more accurate than the official Louisiana edition. Barrett's index, which follows the style of English lawyer's common-place books and abridgments, is a thorough guide to the Code. The philological basis of his 393 page introduction had a profound influence on the subsequent development of Classical British legal ethnography. A classic work. Complete as issued. A rare book in an original contemporary full calf leather binding,; some wear/tear/ rubbing to spine, covers, ends & corners. Some toning/foxing to pages, which are generally clean & bright, the spines have been professionally rebacked with most of the original spine relaid, the binding is tight and intact. Lib. bookplates on front pastedowns & tiny blue stamps on the margins of a few pages. Previous owners bookplates on the rear pastedowns. The leather is smooth & supple to the touch
