David Park Barnitz (1878-1901)
This edition is limited to 300 numbered copies of which this is number 37. This special edition has gold guild paper on the top and has marble card on the endpapers front and back, which is a scarce version. It has 173 numbered pages. It is a very fine condition, almost As New with almost no physical signs of any damage or wear.
Introduction by Mark Valentine.
Afterword by Thomas Ligottti.
David Tibet thanks Mark Valentine, Richard Dalby, Thomas Ligotti, Steven Stapleton, Andria Degens and Kat McKain for their assistance and Michael Laird of New York for research.
The Book of Jade was originally published by Doxey's, At the Sign of the Lark (New York, 1901). The original was a much sought after rarity until the Durtro reprint, but a couple years ago Hippocampus Press superseded the Durtro edition with an inexpensive paperback.
Durtro Press is run by David Tibet of the band Current 93. David also ran The Ghost Story Press with Richard Dalby. This then morphed into Ash-Tree Press, which Chris and Barbara Roden ran until about 2010.
This version is now out of print. The book is a volume of decadent poetry by a man who died quite young.
'Some books become talismans. Because they are strange, wildly different to the common run of literature; because they are scarce, and only a few precious copies are know to exist; because, perhaps, they liberate by transgressing the moral limits of the day; because their authors are lonely, elusive visionaries; because, sometimes, their is an inexplicable glamour about the book, so that it's readers seem to be lured into a praeternatural revevie. This book possesses all those attributes'. (Mark Valentine).

A Sweet, Classic Read – Perfect for Bedtime!
Format: Hardcover
I got Daddies for my son’s birthday, and it’s quickly become a favorite in our home! We read it multiple times a day – I’ve practically got it memorized! The simple, classic illustrations are wonderful for little ones’ growing minds, and they bring such a calm, cozy vibe, making this book especially great for winding down before bed. Little Golden Books are a staple in our family, and Daddies fits right in. Highly recommend for any parent looking to add a timeless, heartfelt story to their child’s collection!

Great illustrations. Great story.
Format: Hardcover
My son and daughter (who are 2 and 4 years old) love this book. They seem to gravitate to all the Little Golden Books we have. It's one that I don't mind reading over and over again. The pictures have an old fashioned look to them, but I like them, especially the one at the end showing them all eating dinner together. As others have noted, there aren't really any women in the book, but it is about Daddies, and applies well to our family situation. The main point is that daddy loves them even though he is away at work all day, so it might not be the best choice for stay-at-home Dads. Made a great Father's Day present for us.

This book brings back so many sweet memories!
Format: Hardcover
When my son was a toddler, I read to him every night. This book was one of the stories in a large book of children's stories. My son loved Daddies so much, he wanted me to read it over and over and over again until he had it memorized and he would "read" it himself. Now my son will be 46 in March and I bought it as a surprise for his birthday. I think he will enjoy it and it will make him laugh. It is a great book. Now one of my daughters wants me to buy a copy for one of my great-grandsons!!!
