No Dust Jacket

Book: Blemishes - Light rubbing on panel edges caused by shelf storage. Light soiling on page edges of a few of the pages. The LR front panel is curled (photo). The book has a Preface and commercial advertisements (Paris) on all but the Title Panel (photo).

For a century-old crudely bound publication--with paper of any quality a rare commodity during the mid-point of World War I--this is a remarkably preserved and rare limited-edition copy. Unblemished photographs and drawings on every page and the binding is still firm and strong.

Heavily biased (propaganda) Belgian account of the German invasion and occupation of World War I Belgium.

"Cometh the day that all shall pay."

First published in 1898, To-Morrow attempted to improve the material condition of working-class families through a vision of new communities which would provide a better quality of life.

Although fatherless and raised in poverty, Chatterton was an exceptionally studious child, publishing mature work by the age of 11. He was able to pass off his work as that of an imaginary 15th-century poet called Thomas Rowley, chie…Read more
