About This Item
Sandburg inscribed this copy to Roger Barrett, son of eminent Abraham Lincoln collector Oliver R. Barrett; the elder Barrett was Sandburg's friend, lawyer, and collaborator. An attractive work with a provenance that illuminates a network of scholars. 9'' x 7''. Original black cloth binding with yellow stamping. Yellow pictorial endpapers of various mythological figures. Yellow, blue and green woodcut frontispiece with nine full-page yellow, blue, and green woodcuts and numerous smaller black-and-white woodcuts. [12], 226 pages. Inscribed to "Roger Barrett / - a bad, bad book / worth reading - Carl Sandburg." Binding with a touch of bumping to corners and spine ends, one tiny knock to lower board; a bit of a lean. Interior clean and bright.
