cream boards. BAL 12088: only 1150 copies printed. An anthology

Keats, Emerson, Wordsworth, etc. Faint pencil 1861 owner name on yellow 
front free endpaper and small red stamped name of Edward Gassett at the 
top of the title page. Spine chipped 3/4" at top deleting the title from 
the original paper spine label which is otherwise intact. Neat repaired 
tear on spine which has a little fraying along the joints. Faint stain
