About This Item
Frederick A. Stokes, Co. New York, 1897 (IN THE ORIGINAL LINEN DUST WRAPPER WITH LETTERING AND DECORATION BY BRADLEY) An octavo bound in the original rust colored cloth with a beautiful, heavily gilt cover design by Bradley. The book is fine with no wear and the gilt clean, bright and unworn. New endleaves with appropriate paper done at some point in the past. The paper backed linen dust-wrapper has wear and tear internally at the folds and is soiled with some darkening to the spine. Gilt titling and decoration by Bradley on the dustwrapper is bright and unworn. Very scarce and a nice example of the early cloth dust wrapper. Illustrated by Madeleine Lemaire.
Reviews
On Jun 25 2017, a reader said:
This was the most heart wrenching and hypnotic book of my life read at the tender age of my twenties miraculously falling into my hands while tinkering in a second hand store somewhere in San Francisco. The spirit of Lucile grabbed my soul and could not stop reading its addictive verse. I loved it from the depths of my being as if I had been catapulted from some unknown memory not wanting to know how it would end- fearing a too familiar attraction to her melancholy fate. It's like I didn't want to know how it'd end, but, nonetheless, I knew and couldn't stop reading as something unseen and painfully stringent was pulling me onward and forward to my doom.
Lucile : A must read.
