About this Item
Blue leather with black title block and gilt lettering and decorations. Light rub to head and heel of spine and tips of corners. Text is clean and bright, no marks. Profusely illustrated throughout with full-color and black and white illustrations. "Many times the physical form or appearance of a poem, quotation or story influences the impluse to read it. Too frequently, great words in the world of literature become buried in the archives of libraries or bibliophiles because they are sandwiched into pages of small print on yellowed paper, musty with age and dusty with disuse. Most great writing is undated as to time, era or circumstance. It is just as fresh and compelling now as it was the year of its creation. To uncover a few of the gems from the literary past along with some contemporary items of wit, wisdom or humor, and to present them in a manner that will attract by typographic originality, appealing design, and unusual arrangement, have been the guiding objectives in this creation.".
