Ex-library with call numbers on DJ's and book's spine. Library markings on ffep, title page, p. 31, and back endpapers. The color is worn from the tips of the fore corners and the top/bottom of the spine, but nowhere is the cloth worn through to the boards. Otherwise minor wear on the clean and sound binding. Other than library markings, contents are clean. DJ is not much to look at, but it provides plenty of protection and information. ; Rose cloth, black lettering.

The romantic story poems of Lord Byron, Robert Browning, and Walt Whitman, with their fiery descriptions of long-ago battles - for country and for love - will enchant you. Here is a book to read to ne's self and to read aloud to others. ; 8-1/8" Tall; 374 pages.
