Very Good as graded in hand. A Laidlaw Brothers anthology from 1928 in deep blue pebble-grained boards, blind-stamped with a ruled border and a gilt title panel on the front. The gilt panel is bright and fully legible and the blind stamping crisp. Wear is light: rubbing at the corner tips and along the board edges, and a small amount of fraying at the head of the spine. Binding tight and square, no dust jacket. Inside, the paper has toned lightly with age but is clean and bright for its years, the poems and the biographical notes and poet portraits are unmarked, and there is no highlighting, underlining or staining on any page seen. A gift inscription from a husband to his wife on her birthday is on the front endpaper and is left visible on purpose and photographed - it is part of the book's story, not a defect. Not a library copy - no stamps, pockets, spine labels or date-due slips. The black clip in the photos is ours, used to hold the book open, and is not part of the sale.

Store description
For 15 years I've been an Oregon CPA, and for 10 of those I taught tax and accounting at the college level. But my proudest work has nothing to do with numbers: I homeschooled my daughter from preschool through freshman year and in September she will be starting the 10th grade - homeschooling. This season taught me a good book can shape how a child sees the world. Every title I choose has to engage young minds to think critically and navigate this world with real understanding. Every book has a story — but it only means something when a child lives it. Why Papa Duck? I was "Uncle Duck" to my nieces and nephews for years — duck pictures fill my office, Mallards are my favorite. When my grandson arrived last year, the family asked what he'd call me. There was only one answer. CPA by training, teacher by calling, homeschool dad by experience, Papa Duck by love.…
