About this Item

8vo. 95 pp. Illustrated with pictures by Ronni Solbert. Original illustrated tan cloth binding. This is a DEDICATION COPY to Faith (there were 8 dedicatees) inscribed by Boyle on July 11, 1965 with an original poem on the front free endpaper: "Faith, you are gracious as a flower, | And grow in wisdom hour by hour. | Intelligence is is your smile, all swift response | That does beguile. Your words were very sweet to hear. | How loudly camels with you cheer! Kay B." The caps of each line of the original poem spell FAITH. The book has some splotchy areas of browning/foxing(?) on a number of the pages else tight, very good in a bright, very good plus DJ with some rubbing along the spinal folds and a small tear top of rear panel. A very scarce Boyle item.
