106 Year Old Book

By amberwalton, 18 February, 2014
Description

A book called "Lentala of the South Seas" by W.C.Morrow. Copyright, 1907, by The Success Company New York. Copyright, 1908, by Frederic A. Stokes Company. Illustrations from oil paintings by Maynard Dixon. A romantic tale of a lost colony. Spine is broken but threading is still there. Art work on front and spine see able. Words are perfect and readable and oil paintings still vivid looking. Have had this book for about 12 years. A name on the front page in cursive, cannot read it but dated 1909. Found the book in the attic when i was about fourteen and held onto it because it felt special. May be willing to sell but i dont know yet.
