Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Vera Willoughby (illustrator). 1st Edition. Published simultaneously in the UK and US in an edition limited to 999 copies, this being number 282. This is an attractive book with an elegant typeface used (Rudolph Koch's Kursiv), nice paper (Pannekoek), and highly competent printing (Curwen Press). There's a Preface by the editor and an Index of Authors and First Lines. A major attraction of the book is the eight full page, delicately colored drawings of the Hungarian-born British artist, Vera Willoughby (1870-1939). Amongst many other artistic endeavors, she produced a splendid book in 1925 called "A Vision of Greece" and did some beautiful posters for the London Underground in the early 30's. The green vellum spine is a little faded with the gilt lettering dulled. Decorated paper covered boards are worn on corners, unevenly browned, and there's a three inch line of pink staining to upper board. A bookplate on front pastedown reveals a previous owner to have been LeRoy Provins, an obscure author of a 1958 book, "So You Want To Be a New Yorker". Still a very good tight copy and a lot of book for $16. MC.

This book is Edited (and SIGNED) by Earl E. Fisk and illustrated by (and SIGNED) by Haldane Macfall (illustrator). SIGNED LIMITED EDITION. "This Large Paper Edition of Persuasions To Joy is LIMITED TO 150 COPIES" This is # 89 of 150. SIGNED by the editor (Earl E. Fisk) and the illustrator (Haldane Macfall). 104 Numbered pages. Decorated end-papers and pastedowns (Matching covers). This book is in amazing condition (NEAR FINE). The front inside paste-down has the personal and attractive bookplate of the previous owner. Book is accompanied by the original slipcase which has the same paper label with title and design as the book. The salmon colored slipcase is in fairly good condition. Although a bit soiled from handling over the years and with a few seam splits to the top portion this slipcase has protected the book well (in mylar cover) which explains the near fine condition of the book. The chief purpose of this anthology is to carry the decorations of Haldane Macfall. Macfall was a versatile artist and expressed himself through various mediums. These lyrics have been chosen for the decorative pen of the illustrator, but they also express his persona preferences. Most of them are of the Elizabethan period and are little known but nevertheless exquisite examples picked from the multitude of love lyrics written during that time by the editor.
