Original red cloth binding with no edgewear, top edge gilt, spine very slightly faded, bright gilt title on spine, and on front cover with a design of thistles and curved lines in black and gilt. This copy has never been read, as most page outer edges are uncut. Hence, exceptionally clean inside. A nice marriage of locale with well known poets and authors. Pages 260 with index, plus 3 pages publisher ads. Handsome copy.
