New York: G. Schirmer, 1911. This ex-library book, with library markings, on front and rear endpapers and spine, is nonetheless in Very Good- condition.

The binding is tight and secure. The endpapers have ex-library markings. However, the the music itself is clean, with no marks or underlinings, except that one page, Page 21, was torn by an overly energetic page-turning pianist in the distant past, and the tear was repaired with acidic cellophane tape that has browned. The Russian composers, whose music for piano and voice is represented here include Arensky, Balakirew, Borodin, Cui, Dargomijsky, Glazunoff, Glinka, Moussorgsky, Rachmanioff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rubinstein, and Tchaikovsky.

Description:
Boston: Oliver Ditson Company, 1913. This ex-library book, with library markings, on front and rear endpapers and spine, is nonetheless in Very Good condition. It is bound in a solid hard cover library binding, and the exterior covers show scuffing and library markings on the spine. The binding is tight and secure, with library markings on the front and rear endpapers. This volume was originally bound in oversized softcover wraps, which are beautifully preserved here, thanks to the protective hard cover. The original pages and the piano music itself are all bright and clean, with no marks or underlinings, in short, a fine example of not judging a book by its cover. Adolf Jensen (1837-1879) was a German of Scandinavian descent, and considered in his own time a worthy successor to Robert Schumanns. Although today he is often remembered for his piano music, he also composed various song cycles, well represented here. The book includes 40 of his songs for high voice, in both the original German and…

Description:
Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, 1969. This Stated First U.S. Edition (and unless it's stated, it's not) and unclipped dust jacket are in Very Good+ condition but are ex-library with markings on the endpapers, and a library number glued to dust jacket spine. But since in the small suburban library from which it came, most folks probably never heard of Coward, I'd be surprised if this copy was read at all. The book is bound in deep blue cloth, with woven beige spine cloth, and die-stamped lettering in blue and gilt over a blue background. There is tape residue on the boards and edge fading. (I removed the library protective sleeve and replaced it with a new Brodart protective sleeve.) The book includes photo inserts, a Coward Chronology, and an extensive Index. This was the first major biography of Noël Coward, who was still alive and still in the closet (to a few), and thus the reader needs to read between the lines to figure out which of Coward's friendships…
