A love of Steinbeck

2015-06-20T18:16:00.000-07:00

As readers, we have a lot of favorite writers and it is sometimes hard to choose just one. John Steinbeck is one of those personal favorites. We came across this little treasure that is not expensive or overly rare. However, holding a 1947 first edition of one of his works gives us that sense of wonder that we love. We had to share the wonderful feeling with you!

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
- John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

So, we find ourselves in a state of awe once again. After finding a wonderful home for the first edition Great Gatsby, we also found it made us a little sad to see it go. #GreatGatsby However, shortly after sending our precious jewel on its way, we were blessed to run across another piece of American literature history. Although not a first edition, finding this new treasure gave us a similar delight with a new found perspective. It is our job to discover and then experience the real joy of sharing. We know that our clients experience a similar excitement when receiving their new additions to their collections. We have the temporary pleasure of being able to hold and work with true gems. Despite having to let them go, the real pleasure in knowing that they will be cared for and enjoyed for years to come. So, what have we got in store today? A beautiful 29th printing of #Howl the famously controversial work by Allen Ginsberg. Signed and dated by Ginsberg on title page! #AllenGinsberg Being able to hold a copy that the author has held and personalized brings back that feeling of excitement and wonder of discovery. We are very happy to make this item available and looking forward to sharing our next unique find. #VintageVagabonds

Great Gatsby!

2014-07-06T19:07:00.000-07:00

One of the great joys in our line of work is being close to lots of different types of treasures and interesting items. It is sad to say sometimes we see so many cool items it takes something very special to truly wow us (#Coolfind). Being long time lovers of books and seeing so many books on a regular basis this definitely rings true in the book arena. In our book inventory at this time we are very proud of a couple of truly fantastic gems. We currently have available an inscribed Harry S. Truman biography, several first editions/signed Tom Wolfe novels, a signed Allen Ginsberg, some very neat collectible kids books and too many other signed/first editions to list here. Our most recent find was able to take my breath away. We have dug up a true piece of American literature history and now making it available for purchase. When it was first spotted my heart raced. I thought to myself “this will be a later printing”, no way will it be a first edition and a first printing. I gently picked it up and opened the front boards tenderly searching for the title page and copyright page. Upon arriving to my destination I noticed the date and then the Scribner seal. What we had found was a first edition and first printing of Fitzgerald's “The Great Gatsby” (#GreatGatsby). After getting it back to the office and researching it a little further making sure all the first edition points were present, it was time to be wowed. I was holding a first edition (#1sted) of the third novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It felt amazing! The work originally sold only around 20,000 copies and was originally considered to be a huge commercial flop. It was not until after his death in the 1940's that the worked picked up steam becoming a true American classic. Our copy like most other found is missing the iconic and highly sought after dust jacket. Others are selling theirs with facsimile jackets, but we have decided to sell it as it was found. It has so much character and charm just the way it is we do not want to spoil it. Enjoy!

O. Henry

2014-06-05T11:53:00.002-07:00

When one loves one's Art no service seems too hard.
-O. Henry

On this day in 1910 North Carolina writer O.Henry passed away in NYC. Born William Sydney Porter in Greensboro in 1862 he was best known by his pen name. Literary historians believe this pen was chosen to honor a childhood pet. The legendary writer is famous for his clever "O. Henry Endings" and short stories. Located on HWY 150, just around the block from our booth @ Golden Antiques and Treasures, is the Saunders Inn. This old structure is where O. Henry's grandfather, while traveling, stopped for a stay. He was asked by Saunders to stay permanently to help teach the local children. He later moved into Greensboro to raise his own family. #OHenry #VintageVagabonds #SummerfieldNC

Update on our retail consolidation

2014-06-02T08:50:00.001-07:00

We have finished consolidating our booth space at Golden Antiques and Treasures. Check us out in booth #53! We are very excited to switch it up a bit and look forward to sharing a little more of our freed up time and creativity with you. We will be rotating stock quicker through that booth, so make sure you visit us often to catch all the goodies. As far as the books in that booth go, we had to drop some categories during the consolidation and we are sorry. Those category titles will be added to our New Arrivals section and be rotated out much quicker. We have added a Reduced section on the other side of New Arrivals where you can find really great bargains. We will be having a June Book Sale at Golden Antiques and Treasures June 12th through the 15th. Hardcovers will be a deal @ $2.00 and Softcovers will be a steal @ $1.00. We look forward to seeing you there! #BookSale #VintageVagabonds
