Item Details

Description

Small book, gilt-edged pages, covered with red silk tartan. Small black lable on spine reads "Poems - Robert Burns". The condition of the book inside is very good, the silk tartan covering is rather threadbare though. Full title: "The Poetical Works of Robert Burns. Poems". Publisher: David Bryce and son, Glasgow (no date) The book has 272 pages, and is illustrated throughout with various full-page photolithographic illustrations and (wood)engravings (also as decorations above and below text). The text includes: - a "prefatory memoir", - the main body of poems, - a "glossary", - and an "index, combining titles with first lines" Because of the photolithographs I am guessing that the book can be dated to end 19th Century. I found on internet that this little book might be one of series of 4 miniature books? I assume this will affect the value as I only have this one. I am interested to know if this little book is worth anything, so any ideas are very welcome! Thanks!
