About This Item
Volume five of ten in Funk & Wagnall's series The World's One Thousand Best Poems. Blue fabric covered boards show wear at the corners and edges and a small soiled area on the rear cover. Gilt on the spine is almost worn off. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked. The third photo shows the first of five pages of the Table of Contents. Features many dozens of poets, most with more than one entry. Most represented are Robert Herrick with 12 poems, John Keats with 11, Thomas Hood with 8 and Oliver Wendell Holmes with 7.
I have other volumes of this set, so if you are starting a collection or trying to complete one, I suggest searching further. When buying multiple volumes, you save a lot on postage.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost.
