Housman, Lawrence, STORIES FROM THE ARABIAN NIGHTS RETOLD BY LAURENCE HOUSMAN WITH DRAWINGS BY EDMUND DULAC. New York: George H. Doran Company, [1923].

Red, cloth hardcover w/titling and decor to spine and front board, 8vo (9x6”), Good+ Good/n.a., 237pp.

No apparent major structural issues, spine sunned, uneven coloring to front board, (photos make it look much worse than it is, rubbing and bumping to head and tail of spine, corners as well as a 3/4-inch mild dent in the upper front edge for the front board, light spotting and soiling as well as light age toning throughout, top edge of text block soiled, small episodes of pencilalia perhaps by a child, easily erasable but left in place.  All illustrations are intact and in fine condition. Still quite smashing after all these years. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac are tipped in on pre-printed pages paginated for their presence.   

A distinctive book indeed – quite the magical Capture of Tyme!
