New York: Doubleday, 1976. Love Poems from the Hebrew edited by David C. Gross, illustrated by Shraga Weil. Hardcover. Dust jacket. Stated First Edition. 83 pages in this slim volume including index.

And Shagra Weil's illustrations are the perfect complement to the words they accompany." Dust jacket has much wear including water spotting on inside of dust jacket. Price clipped.… Read More
