Product Details

An especially charming and historic copy: the front endpapers are signed by 32 members of the “Warren Kiwanis Club – January 13, 1943,” suggesting this book once belonged to the Kiwanis group in the Maine town of Warren. Thematically, this is delightfully echoed by the color illustration opposite the title page, which depicts an open book, a quill in an ink well, and a candle beside a bouquet of flowers — all inviting signatures, as if anticipating those handwritten names. Condition: Very good overall. Binding solid; light shelf wear to covers and spine label. Some underlining and margin notes in the early pages, otherwise clean and bright. A fascinating blend of literature, art, and Maine civic history — a true conversation piece and a perfect addition for collectors of illustrated classics, Van Loon works, or regional ephemera.
