AT THIS TIME THE PROPRIETORS OF THE ROYCROFT PRINTING SHOP, at East
Aurora, New York, announce the publication about Christmas time of an
exquisite edition of the JOURNAL OF KOHELETH, otherwise the Book of
Ecclesiastes, reparagraphed.
With a bit of an introduction by Mr. Elbert Hubbard, whimsical, perhaps,
but sincere, wherein the rich quality of the text is commended to those
over thirty, and under: with explanations, always reverent, that may be
useful.
=This book, printed by hand on Dickinson’s hand made paper, will mark
an era in the art of printing in America. The edition, limited to 750
copies, will be bound in flexible Japan vellum, wrapped and boxed. Each
book numbered, and signed by the editor.=
Yes, do you send me a book for my birthday. Not a bargain book, bought
from a haberdasher, but a beautiful book, a book to caress—peculiar,
distinctive and individual: a book that hath first caught your eye and
then pleased your fancy, written by an author with a tender whim—all
right out of his heart. We will read it together in the gloaming, and
when the gathering dusk doth blur the page we’ll sit with hearts too full
for speech and think it over.—DOROTHY WORDSWORTH TO COLERIDGE.
