Books

First edition, first printing, first issue with "Lawrence & Bullen" at base of spine. Near Fine with elaborate gilt design by Althea Gyles incredibly vibrant, slightly tarnished at the edges on the front cover yet still retaining so much of it's original beauty and luster. Light rubbing to cloth at points and rear cover, ding to edge of rear board. Pages lightly toned with an occasional small blemish. A shining and bright example of a beautifully designed book, which tragically is all too often found heavily rubbed and worn. While lesser copies are abundant, one would be hard-pressed to find a nicer copy.

The Secret Rose, written by W.B. Yeats, is a collection of stories that delve into the mystical and supernatural aspects of Irish lore. The tales explore themes of mystery, romance, and symbolism, and they reflect Yeats' deep interest in occultism and the Celtic Revival.
