Between the Covers

Hardcover. Small square quarto(?) Approximately 5" x 6". 321 hand-numbered pages including index. Bound in contemporary gray-green buckram with "Songs" in gilt on the spine. Modest stain on rear board, small tear at the crown, very good or better, internally about fine. A voluminous collection of poems written in neat and tidy script, and which includes an index of both titles and authors. The vast amount of the authors are English (although Longfellow creeps in); a few of the authors are unfamiliar to us. There appears to be no obvious evidence as to the identify of the creator of this lovingly compiled collection. A charming curiosity.
