Hardcover. 8" X 5 3/8". 114pp; 119pp; 119pp. Set of three Ethel Morton books presents nicely in protective archival sleeved dust jacket.

Textured paper over boards, with upper board and spine lettered in black. Heavy sunning and edgewear to bindings, with extremities bumped, scattered rubbing, and mild soiling. Dampstain to upper board of Ethel Morton's Holidays. Front hinge starting to separate in each binding. Previous owner's name to Ethel Morton's Enterprise, else pages heavily and uniformly age-toned but clean and unmarked. An admittedly worn but still very charming collection of these three Ethel Morton novels for young girls by Mabell S. C. Smith.

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
