1881 The Complete Poetical Works of John Greenleaf Whittier, With Numerous Illustrations. Published in Boston by Houghton, Mifflin & Co. This is a taller, thin book with a brown cloth decorative cover and spine. I love collecting books like this because they have the poets name printed large on the spine… so they look great as a collection on a shelf! You can collect all of your favorite poets. This copy in particular is in great condition! It is super clean inside and out with very little wear. The binding is nice and tight.
