Leather bound cover has some wear and a small part of it is torn off. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.
This vintage leather-bound anthology, edited by Thomas C. Jones, invites readers to explore the timeless themes of love and desire through a curated selection of poems. Despite its well-loved appearance, with a torn cover and signs of wear, the book’s interior remains pristine, a testament to its careful handling by previous owners.
Compiled in an era when poetry was celebrated as a high art form, “Some Words of Love” offers a glimpse into the literary salon culture of the time, where passionate discussions of verse were common.
