About This Item
Toronto: McClelland, Goodchild & Stewart, Limited, 1916. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Small octavo. The first of Montgomery's books to be published by a Canadian publisher, this is one of her most sought-after titles, rarely found in a dust jacket, even one as weary as this specimen (oddly, it is easier to find a signed copy than one with a jacket). Collects more than 90 poems by the author of 'Anne of Green Gables,' most of which were published in almost two dozen Canadian and American magazines. Green cloth w/gilt cover/spine lettering, 159 [1] pages. Bumped corners, light edgewear, gilt almost entirely flaked from spine, about a third flaked from front cover, previous owner's name to front end paper, dust/lightly tanned edges. The jacket is in two pieces (separated at left front panel/right spine edge), w/rubbing, chipping/tears to corners, short edge tears, 2" tear to top of rear panel, sun-darkened spine, 1"-deep chip to top spine, remains of presumed Christmas gift sticker to spine. There are 10 scans of book and jacket, showing flaws, available on my site..
