Green and tan stiff paper wraps, tied with green ribbon, and titling in red on cover. Ornate orange drop caps with black type, printed on hand-molded paper. Mottoes printed on grey inserts, centered and decorated. Moderate, even, wear to all edges of cover. A beautiful example of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and a return to traditional book making. Laid in is an original certificate to purchase mottoes "suitable for framing," and two examples of the same handmade paper showing ads for the Notebook of Elbert Hubbard and for Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great. 220 [4] pp. with index.
