<p>This antiquarian book contains a fascinating account of the author's extensive experiences as an art dealer. Full of interesting anecdotes, humorous stories, and useful insights into the world of art dealing, this volume will be of considerable value to those with an interest in dealing art, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. The chapters of this book include: 'The Duveen Brothers', 'Remarking a Reliquary for £30000', 'The Prince who Lost his Tapestries', 'The Tragedy of the Jabach Vases', 'The Fatal Plate of Bernard Palissy', 'The Titled Kleptomaniac', 'The Maddest Collector I Have Ever Known', 'The Blackmailing of an Expert', and more. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.</p>

This vintage book contains both volumes of Mark Twain’s 1872 memoir, 'Roughing It'. Prefaced with the warning that “when he was young, he could remember it – whether it happened or not”, this memoir covers the period from 1862 to 1870. It contains details of Twain’s time in the West, where he worked as a miner and dabbled with other risky situations, including dining with a notorious gunman. This marvellous memoir is infused with the humour and wisdom that Twain is famous for, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of his seminal work. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910), better known by his pseudonym, Mark Twain, was a seminal American writer and humourist. This antiquarian book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
