My sources were Abebooks at $870.08, and Rooke Books at 650 pounds, for two in similar condition.
I recently got this copy of Leaves of Grass at a giveaway at the end of an auction. It looks to me like it's a very good 1894 printing, and could...
Thank you. I thought it might be William Rogers, but the symbols confused me. What would be the date range this was made?
