Flexible Cloth. Condition: Good. This is a flexable cloth cover and I am guessing the date from the inscriptions inside. The first one is to a previous owner, "To ______Who will know how to appraise and value the author's quest for beauty." And it appears to be signed by W.H Cowen and dated 2/22/35. On the next page is a long quote that is really very nice but no author is listed. "The rains that fall this dusk that descends and settle the dust blot ot the footprints of those who have passed. Who of this writer Rings in hill or in valleys where they lived and loved and there is no sound of their laughter." It goes on from there and is dated 1938. There is also a newspaper clipping about the book and Hudson. Book is worn on spine ends and has general wear on the edges. Signed by Author(s).
