The most attractive copy of this work I've ever seen. A subtle and handsome fine binding houses this classic work, The Oxford Book of English Verse, which collects prime examples of verse from 1250 to 1900. This is a rather early copy, printed in 1912. The binding is signed, strangely by both Bayntun of Bath and Brentanos of New York; perhaps Bayntun did the work for Brentanos?
