About This Item
Atchison, Kansas: E. W. Howe, 1913. Seven consecutive monthly issues (February-August 1913) of E. W. HOWE'S MONTHLY bound together without original covers. Each issue has 64 pages except for April, which has 56 pages. Olive-gray buckram covered boards, with gilt title ("Travel Notes") on the spine. These seven issues contain Howe's narrative, musings, and observations during his travels in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and several ports on the east coast of Africa during the Spring of 1913. Included are 3 brief letters signed by Howe (1 tipped in and 2 laid in), all to Charles A. Goddard, publisher of the Fayetteville (W. Va.) Tribune and Free Press. Although Goddard did not put his name on any of the issues, the presence of the 3 letters strongly suggests that he was responsible for selecting these "travel" issues and having them bound. The bound volume is in about very good condition: clean and tight, with rice-paper repaired tears on several pages.. SIGNED. First Edition. Hardcover. About Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
