As new condition dark brown boards (looks to me like faux leather)with an elaborately illustrated gold front cover decoration with gold front cover and spine lettering. Includes Dedication; Introduction and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with drawings and illustrated front and rear endpapers. "Much of the material for this anthology has been gleaned from a scrapbook containing bits of verse, maxims, and quotations which I have been collecting since early boyhood. These bits of treasure have been of inestimable worth to me through the years as a source of pleasure and inspiration as well as providing a greater appreciation of literature and beauty in all its forms. I have carried this scrapbook with me to distant lands, and in lonely hours found in it pleasure and as "light unto my feet." From the days when I was a country boy with a weekly newspaper and an occasional magazine as my sole source of reading material to supplement the wonderful classics in the old McGuffey Readers, and through my years as a teacher, school administrator, and athletic coach on the high school, college, and university levels, my interests have undergone much change. This change is reflected in the materials in this anthology. Therefore the contents should be sufficiently varied as to provide something of interest and value to all. Besides selections from the masters, there are a number of poems which have not before appeared in an anthology, and some which have not before been published. With full knowledge that I am not richly endowed with poetic genius, I have included a few of my own compositions. There need be no agitation on Parnassus. It is hoped that in this anthology the reader will find pleasure, inspiration, and a greater meaning to life." - from the Introduction by the author, Ernest R. Miller.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
