Nolie Mumey (1891-1984) was an American medical doctor, Army veteran, licensed pilot, and prolific author.

This proved to be such an embarrassment, Mumey vowed to learn everything there was to know about Denver. In the process, he wrote nearly 100 books, many of which were devoted to Western history and medical topics" (Nolie Mumey Papers, Identifier: WH532).

[First Edition] Second Report Of The State Mineralogist Of California, From December 1, 1880, To October 1, 1882. SIGNED BY The 1st ITALIAN AMERICAN
285.18 CAD
This original gold mining related publication is rare enough, but this copy is enhanced by the presentation inscription "__E. Ginochhio & Bro With Compliments Of A Caminetti" According to Google Lens, the Ginochhio brothers ran a hardware store in Jackson California where they were associates of Anthony Caminetti, an Italian American son of immigrants who served two terms as a United States representative from California from 1891 to 1895 - the first Italian American to do so! The irony, of course, is that later, as United States Commissioner General of Immigration, he argued that the U.S. Congress should end all immigration of Chinese, Japanese, and Malays because they represented the "Asiatic menace." But, like I said, the 8 vo. 514 page book is rare in its own right and contains much valuable information on gold in California!

First edition, first issue. One corner a tiny bit bumped else fine in slight spine-toned, very near fine dustwrapper with two tiny tears. Inscribed by the author: "for Herb Yellin, John Updike." Herb Yellin was the founder and publisher of Lord John Press and the most frequent of Updike's fine press collaborators. He named his press after noting that the list of authors he wanted to publish all shared the same first name, chief among them John Updike, his favorite. *Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu* became the press's first book in 1977 with 10 more to follow over the next 23 years. Yellin's friendship with Updike grew with each new limited edition benefitting his already enormous Updike collection, with Updike himself contributing copies of new editions of his books - often inscribed. In a 2010 interview with Yellin he noted that Updike ".liked that if anything ever happened to his own collection, he had my collection on the opposite side of the country." A notable association. A scarce book in this issue.
