This is a very lovely copy of four short works by the Norwegian author Bjornson, published in Swedish in this 1929 first edition. The front and back boards have an unique marbling with leather band and spine; the spine has the title and author stamped in gilt along with several incised designs. The binding is tight and all pages clean; page tops are gilt. Unfortunately there is one blemish at the top left of the marbled paper on the front, as shown in the last photo. This is a beautiful decorative copy for a bookshelf even if you don't read Swedish!

These volumes are in good condition with no writing or marks anywhere.
