Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Rev. ed 186 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm OCLC 964661 dark red cloth ; no dustjacket ; names on front endpaper ; Nature, man and human history are reflected on in the verse of English and American poets and such prose works as the Gettysburg Address and the Declaration of Independence ; Roy Jay Cook was born on 18 July 1873, in Minneapolis. 101 Famous Poems is a long-running anthology compiled by Roy Jay Cook, first published in 1916 and continuously in print since that time. The collection brings together 101 well-known poems drawn primarily from British and American poets, presenting a wide range of classic English-language verse that reflects popular tastes of the early twentieth century. Many editions also feature a prose supplement that includes significant historical and inspirational documents, such as Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the Declaration of Independence, the Ten Commandments, and Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech. The anthology encompasses works by poets including William Shakespeare, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edgar Allan Poe, Alfred Tennyson, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Frost, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and others, with selections covering themes of inspiration, patriotism, romance, history, and reflection.Frequently indexed by title, author, and first line, the book has served as an accessible entry point to poetry for generations of readers, often appearing as a family keepsake, school text, or introduction to classic verse.Its enduring appeal lies in its presentation of familiar, memorable poems that have inspired and comforted readers across more than a century. Later editions were published under Cook's own imprint, R.J. Cook, also based in Chicago. In the 1910s and 1920s, recitation culture held significant influence in education and home settings, with memorization and oral delivery of poems serving as standard practices for building character, elocution skills, and appreciation of literary heritage. In the 1910s and 1920s, recitation culture held significant influence in education and home settings, with memorization and oral delivery of poems serving as standard practices for building character, elocution skills, and appreciation of literary heritage. Roy Jay Cook designed the collection with accessibility in mind, offering it at a low price to place classic poems within reach of every child and household across diverse economic backgrounds.This commercial approach aligned with contemporary efforts to democratize literature, ensuring poetry reached beyond elite circles into ordinary homes and classrooms where it could fulfill educational and uplifting roles.McGraw-Hill Companies, which later acquired Contemporary Books' interests, continued publication with a trade paperback reprint in 1994.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Rare vintage 2nd volume from the World Wide Publishing Company's Mystery Double Deck Series. This volume contains Edgar Wallace's "The Thief in the Night" and Percy Heath's "Slightly Scarlet." The book is undated but circa about 1930. It is generally in Good condition seeing as it appears to have been cheaply printed. The covers have some mild wear. The binding is very tight, so this wouldn't make a good reading copy as it would require forcing the book open more than it naturally wants to go which would most likely result in damaging the binding. A few pages at the rear of the book have a very tiny chip to the bottom corner and there is a small tear towards the top of the front & back pastedowns near the hinge. The interior is tanned from age but generally nice and clean, though there may be the very occasional page with some kind of minor imperfection such as a light bit of foxing or grubbiness, creased page corner, tiny chip or tear, minor stain or marking, etc. The book comes in its original dustjacket which is in Very Good- condition with some small chips and tears and a tiny bit of old dried adhesive towards the top & bottom edge. The jacket comes in a protective removable mylar wrapper. The actual maroon cloth covers of the book only have some minor wear. The book measures approximately 6 5/8 inches by 4 1/4 inches and is 183+184 pages long. Please look at all of the photos to further note the condition.…
