About This Item
"Visitors to second-hand bookstores and the further reaches of library stacks will have seen elaborate collections of prose and verse entitled 'The Souvenir,' 'The Forget Me Not,' and the like, survivors of the era of gift books and literary annuals. Between 1825 and 1865 more than a thousand such miscellanies appeared in the United States; the number in other countries was probably even greater. My aim has been to explain the origin and character of the American examples and to make available an annotated catalog." (Preface) [viii], 183 pages; 23 cm. Bound in black cloth with gold spine lettering; no dust jacket; Very Good. Stock#ofc0712.
