Unusual Printers Mark on Title
Page, plus a mystery item inside the book
It is hardcover with a padded leather
cover -gold gilt page edges -and gold title on front and spine.
The cover is dark red or a deep maroon color, my photos are making it
look a bit brighter than it really is.
The front also has a pretty Victorian design
in gold, which looks like thistle flowers. There is
just a minor bit of wear on the edges. The binding is intact and
good. The title page has a beautiful early art deco
design printed in
green and purple. The green
ink is shiny like foil. The title page paper is a heavier
stock.
The endpapers have an intricate
floral design in blue and white with an etching type art
style. This is just a stunning piece of work, both in the way the
book is
constructed – and the poetry inside.
There's also a little mystery item in
the book. It is a newspaper clipping with a short verse on
it. As a result there's a little discoloration on the page.
I feel like this needs to stay with the book. It it titled No Match for Her. The
first lines are; "Ah!" he lightly
cried, "I
cannot / give you the key to
my mind. / She smiled till
the tips of her / pearly
teeth fretted her ripe,
red lip.
