A perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy, a structurally sound exemplar of the Special Edition bound in the original title-blocked yellow and black cloth, still quite sharp and distinctly handsome, internally tight, bright, clean and strong, though with forward cock to spine. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, moderately worn, price-clipped, but protected by a plastic coat. 21 pp. of text, including Walker's Foreword, and then 111 leaves of plates, printed on high-gloss paper. Aubrey Beardsley died way too young (1872-1898); these mostly line drawings are quite evocative and signal the coming of Art Deco in replacement of The Gilded Age.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

Store Description

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does ?structure? (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the ?agency? of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals? Structure, Verses, Agency Books isn?t going to solve the debate, but we?ll offer you lots of all three. Versus to verses?we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana.
