The first bound volume issued by this publisher (called "Stone & Kimball's First Book"), providing bibliographic details of first editions of American authors listed alphabetically (from Henry Abbey to Samuel Woodworth, and including Harriet Beecher Stowe, Richard Harding Davis, Edgar Allan Poe, and Cotton Mather). Herbert Stuart Stone and Hannibal Ingalls Kimball were students at Harvard students when they founded Stone & Kimball and published a pamphlet in April 1893 called Chicago and the World's Fair [Kramer 1]. The guidebook turned a profit of $600 for the young publishers, who then issued this bibliography, edited by Stone. The firm continued until 1897, when Kimball left and it became known as Herbert S. Stone & Co. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves.
