Abstract

en_US A real steal. This is a huge collection of material, with delightful illustrations. Aesop is featured in three different sections, with illustrations from Billinghurst, Artzybasheff, and Kredel. A treasure of a book. This copy of a book already in the collection is distinctive in several ways. First, its cover design has changed from a pattern of story characters to a pattern of leaves. Secondly and similarly, its spine no longer pictures characters at its top and bottom; instead there are gold leaves similar to the blue leaves on the cover's pattern. The spine also reformats the elements of title, author, and publisher. Finally, there is on the verso of the title page an expanded note. This is the expansion: OVER ONE MILLION COPIES NOW IN PRINT. This printing from completely new plates. It is curious that the book does not otherwise mention a later date or a later printing.
