Stars to Steer By

Good; ex-school library and so marked, else would be Very Good. See scans and description. New Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1941. Illustrated throughout by Dorothy Bayley, in color at the frontis and endpapers, and in black and white internally. Octavo, blue-green cloth boards with yellow imprinting at front cover and spine, xi + 352 pp. Good; ex-P.S. 95 in the Bronx, and rather thoroughly so marked at various places. Nonetheless, well-bound; moderate soil at cover, wear at spine ends and small bumping at cover corners are all that show how well-loved this piece was at P.S. 95. - if you don't count all the touches added by the library itself. It will hold together very well for a long time. See all scans. Louis Untermeyer, himself a very active poet, teaches kids what poetry is for and about within, with contributions taken from a wide variety of noted bards and illustrations by Dorothy Bayley. Many pieces are story-oriented, many are not. Maybe you once held this exact book, if you grew up in the Bronx. See all scans. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LT24
