After all, I didn't know my copy was unusual until I got Paul's book!<br /><br />I think it would be nice if we discussed other unusual blbliographic oddities in future blog. If you ever want to pose any questions or queries - drop me a note!<br /><br />David MaxineDavid Maxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672089188117065118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-60736365625604579532010-06-29T18:53:56.318-07:002010-06-29T18:53:56.318-07:00David,
Thanks for letting us know about your very...David,<br /><br />Thanks for letting us know about your very unusual Bobbs-Merrill variant of the 1905 Mother Goose in Prose. My copy lacks the white coloring of the goose on the spine.<br /><br />The area that should bear the white was blocked in blind (stamped by a hot brass to create an indentation in the shape of the goose). That kind of stamping normally precedes the blocking in color, so I had assumed that the white had chipped off my copy. But I was glad to be told that most copies lack the white.<br /><br />I hope others will check their own copies closely in response to your blog. It would be good to discover additional copies like yours.<br /><br />Peter HanffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
