These two leather-bound beauties have aged very nicely. Some time ago they must have been separated from their siblings, since they were originally a part of the first Uniform Edition of 1930. If you happen upon the others please let me know!

Books often make remarkable and mysterious journeys. This one was a part of a donation that came into my shop in Brattleboro, Vermont today.

"I loved you from the first moment I saw you." Sometimes fascinating pieces of lives are tucked away in books for future readers to find, like this love letter from Mrs. Viola Meynell Dallyn sent from London across the Atlantic to Mrs. Mabel Cabot Sedgwick, which I found folded into the pages of Mrs. Sedgwick's copy of Viola's memoir of her mother, Alice Meynell.
