Item description from seller

Limited Edition, First Thus. Hardcover. "O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, / Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead / Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing." Encompassing "Ode to the West Wind," "Love's Philosophy," "Ode to the Skylark," "Ozymandias," and more, the immortal verse of the beloved Romantic poet is preserved in this lovely, two-volume 1893 collection of the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), illustrated in tissue-guarded frontispieces and 7 further plates by F. T. Merrill, H. W. Peirce, E. H. Garrett, and Charles Copeland throughout. 7 7/8" X 5 1/2". viii, [ii], 354pp; [ii], 355-705pp. Both volumes present nicely in protective archival jackets, half-bound in white cloth, elaborately gilt-decorated with fleur-de-lis motif to upper board and spine, with floral-patterned pebble-grained cream cloth over boards, and spines lettered in gilt. Moderate wear to bindings, with darkening to cloth from sunning and dust soiling, bumping to corners, and a touch of fraying to heads and tails of spines. Top edges gilt. A hint of cracking to front hinges; bindings remain firm and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. Calling card of Mr. Clark H. Gleason "with heartiest congratulations" laid in.…

Store description

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.…
