About This Item
Chicago: Argus Press, 1927. Unusual item. "This edition consists of 490 numbered copies and 17 copies lettered A to Q and signed by the author. This is number _________" This field would normally be filled in by hand and the book would then be signed by the author. This field is blank and the book is not signed, making it a very rare item. Brown hardcover boards have dark brown leather spine which extends about an inch and a half onto covers. Bright gilt titles and decoration on front on leather. 71 pages on handmade or heavy ivory laid paper. Sewn binding. From page 49 "The love element is the dominant feature in Herrick's poetry, and it suggests a most interesting question: Did the women of whom he sang really exist, or were they creatures of fancy? This has always been a problem, not only for the student of Herrick and his day, but for all lovers of poetry: for it animates the dispute as to whether a man can create, upon a foundation of unreality, a thing of real beauty, and whether personal knowledge is necessary to the imaginative genius..." Backstrap, which was probably leather, is missing and there are losses to top and bottom of leather trim as well as losses on back. Bumped and worn corners. Lightly penciled price on fep. Previously folded page corner on rep. Thanks for shopping with us! 100% of your purchase benefits charity and supports literacy and lifelong learning.. Limited. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
