1932réf. 28456Sierra Madre CA: The Lantern Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1932. Second Edition. Softcover. grey card covers in black dust jacket with silver printing & decoration minor offsetting to endpapers; very slight edgewear at top of jacket. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author/poet on the front endpaper: "To Charles King -- / in appreciation / Florence Eakman." A 26-page booklet consisting of a 2-page introductory piece in which the author recounts an encounter with Fate followed by eighteen single-page poems. Inscribee Charles King was a Pasadena-based newspaperman and author; Florence Eakman was a longtime resident of Sierra Madre a foothill community just to the northeast of Pasadena and was well-known locally as a children's author playwright teacher and poet. She even advertised her services as a poet-for-hire in the local newspapers. The inscribee and original owner of the book Charles King was a Pasadena-based newspaperman author and sometime playwright; the extensive pencil underlining in the book can be attributed to the fact that he was using it for research on a book of his own never completed on nutrition. NOTE that the pieces of the dust jacket that are laid in -- all quite tattered but textually complete -- are: the rear panel both flaps about half the spine an about one-quarter of the front panel. In other words it's useful for information including a long blurb on the rear panel but hardly a candidate for restoration -- although if you're desperate for some kind of protective covering Signed by Author .
