THE SONNETS of Archibald Rutledge (1st ed)

FINE wraps. Rutledge SIGNED title page. Brown covers of a soft suede like material. Very close to AS NEW. PRISTINE interior. Apparently self published. Unusual format. First leaf a blank end paper, 2nd the SIGNED title page, 3rd the dedication page, then text. No half title page, table of contents, index of first lines, or any blank eps at book's end. TP has no publisher info, merely Rutledge's 1938 cp date. Only publisher info is "Williams Printing Co Spartansburg, S.C." in tiny black letters on the outside of the back cover. Apparently very scarce as no auctioned copies listed by either ABPC or Rare Book Hub. FLAWLESS BUT: tips & spine ends faintly scuffed, perhaps 1/10" or so effected. Last, book stays closed when stood on its spine. So, a good chance it was never opened, let alone read. Lastly, with any use the covers of stapled binding tear at the staples. Not so here. FINE softcover. Black lettered front cover. 9"x6", (1-6),7-39pp.
