Hardcover. Octavo. Quarter cloth and illustrated papercovered boards. Ownership signature of Elizabeth Flodnig, corners a bit worn and some soiling on the boards, a tight, very good or better copy. A blank book with sections for autographs. Contains many inscriptions to Flodnig in 1917, among them a four-line inscription by Margaret Mitchell, author of *Gone With the Wind*, on page 44 (appropriating Gellett Burgess's famous poem): “I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one, I’ll tell you one thing anyhow, I’d rather see than be one! (No nominations [?] Ha! Ha!) Margaret Mitchell.” In 1918 Mitchell graduated from Washington Seminary in Atlanta, and presumably Flodnig was a classmate. Laid in is additional ephemera from the recipient's continuing education in Atlanta. Housed in a custom cloth chemise and gray morocco slipcase.
