"Visitors to second-hand bookstores and the further reaches of library stacks will have seen elaborate collections of prose and verse entitled 'The Souvenir,' 'The Forget Me Not,' and the like, survivors of the era of gift books and literary annuals. Between 1825 and 1865 more than a thousand such miscellanies appeared in the United States; the number in other countries was probably even greater. My aim has been to explain the origin and character of the American examples and to make available an annotated catalog." (Preface) [viii], 183 pages; 23 cm. Bound in black cloth with gold spine lettering; no dust jacket; Very Good. Stock#ofc0712.

New York: The H. W. Wilson Company, 1936. Near Fine condition in the scarce original plain paper dust jacket. The jacket is Good with finger soil, slight age darkening, and light fraying/small chips at the extremities. However it has done its job well in protecting the book which still has most of its new book gloss. No owner's name or bookplate. Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked -- apparently never read. A history of the gift book vogue, their content, publishers, profits, artists and engravers, etc. The Atlantic Souvenir, The Talisman, The Token, The Gift, The Diadem , and The Liberty Bell each merit their own chapter. Also discussed are foreign and minor American examples. Includes an annotated bibliography with 855 entries identifying works by Poe, Hawthorne, Longfellow, Holmes and other luminaries which first appeared in annuals or gift books. Important reference. Tanselle Basic Collection #46. Bound in the original blue cloth, stamped in bright gold on the spine. Complete with…
