Signed by Author(s)299 pages (complete). Signed by Liberty on the first free page. Arthur Lasenby Liberty was the founder of the London department store, "Liberty & Co.". For the publisher of this book he chose well. Grant Richards is largely forgotten as being the first to have published James Joyce, Shaw, Noyes, Housman, Masefield, Chesterton among others. As one would want from a small publishing house, the quality is enchanting. The book is in good to fair condition on account of its cover. This is worn, rubbed and faded. All edges and corners have wear. The spine is marked, stained and shelf and handling worn. It is however, tight and secure. The front cover is very slightly bent from improper storage. The faces of the covers are rubbed and scuffed but still have an august aspect. The frontis and end pages have areas of tanning. The papertrims are rough-cut. Liberty's second wife Emma, and others, provided the illustrations which are clean and bright. The pages are very clean and fresh. They have a liveliness and energy that engage and please still. fk.
