I got this book and it has a very interesting cover for its time period.  Says Riverside Edition The Writings of James Russell Lowell in Ten Volumes  Volume 1.  Literary Essays Houghton, Mifflin and Company.  I  can't find one with the same cover and binding.  Any information would be great.  Thank you.

That's a really old atyle. I have several ledgers dated 1890 and earlier. Mine are all red tones. Where are you located? Are you on the east coast?

I'm in Maine.  I saw some of the red ones but can't find this color.  I thought it was very innovative for the time period.

I just have this one.  I'm going to keep my eyes out to see if more of them surface in the area. I picked it up at a Goodwill store so more may show up.

Half morocco, marbled boards, spine bands.


Look great on shelves.

Very pretty but not worth a lot of money. Not a rare or sought after title, so it's mostly decorative value.
