About this Item

Italian exiles in England, 1805-1864: Mazzini, Rosetti, Cabour and Garibaldi, etc. Lovely square book with dark cinnamon topstain. Spine is sunned and has faded to a somewhat browner tone. Front board blind-stamped with Columbia University seal. Inscribed on FFE in blue fountain pen: "To Arnold / colleague, friend, fighter for democracy. / Harry Rudman / Nov. 1, 1940." There was originally a surname after "Arnold" -- previous owner has stoned off this name, leaving a rough spot on the paper, which is nonetheless intact. Book was acquired with others once belonging to Arnold Shaw, who founded the Popular Music Research Center at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and wrote numerous books on the history of American popular music. Book likely belonged to Arnold Shaw, but has no other ownership marking. 444 pp. including indices. Printed in Woking, Great Britain. Signed association copy. Reduced from $110.
