About This Item
BOBBS-MERRILL, Indianapolis, 1913. Absolutely awful-looking outside, but very nice inside. 6 Volumes 7 7/8" X 5 1/4" in marbled boards with burgundy leather spines and corners, marbled endpapers. Top edges gilt. This is the "Biographical Edition."Backstrips of all 6 volumes have turned brittle and chipped off. Remaining leather is water stained. Vol. 6 shows light water stain on the edge of the inside margins of some pages. Otherwise, the contents of all volumes is remarkably clean and nice. Excellent reading copies. One interesting item: the editor has taken pains to indicate in which publication and in which year each of these poems was published. Hence, these volumes are of Bibliographic interest. 447pp, 552pp, 568pp, 560pp, 493pp, 586pp respectively.. Special Edition. Hardcover. Poor/No Jacket.
