Item description from seller

Detroit: Cranbrook Press, 1902. 8vo, 40 pp. Half parchment vellum, brown paper wrapped boards. Small chip in leather spine label, very slight discoloration to vellum, rear endpapers lightly foxed. Very good. § Number 130 of a limited edition of 210. An elegant little book hand-printed at the short-lived Cranbrook Press by George Booth. As he explains on the elaborate title page "For the most part the contents of this little book appeared first in Cranbrook papers, the writer then being hidden under a nom de plume. These thoughts and fancies having given pleasure to some of their readers are now gathered together in this more convenient form for those who like to think a little, dream a little, work a little.".
