About This Item
Elgin, IL: Brethren Press, ( 1989 ). First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Octavo, 78 pages, beige wrappers, slightly curved
Presentation copy signed by Stafford "For Robert" on the title-page. This is a powerful, personal, but little-known collection by Stafford. His foreword is titled, "Why You Should Cherish This Book". "In your life - the center of it, not the part for earning a living, or the past that gains you notice and credit, or even the part that leads others to like you - but in the central self are feelings so important and where it is you alone. ... Please get ready to be trusting as you read."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
