I own a number of them but have never found a copy of this one.

Did you ever come across a copy, Alan? I think @Jesse John said he found one on Etsy. This one came from LiveAuctioneers, and I believe I was the only bidder but after their fees and shipping, it was still pretty pricey. Very nice condition for being suede bound though.

Great catch. The Roycroft print shop was in East Aurora about 25 miles from me. There were once hundreds of old volumes available to buy in the antique stores around the campus. I purchased a number over the years but never found a copy of this one. The nicest volumes were produced in the first years of the 20th century - before Elbert Hubbard's death on the Lusitania. This one looks lovely. Congratulations!

Interesting. Some of the graphic art in that book was clearly either drafted by or heavily influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. This (right) page nearly looks torn from one of his window designs of the time.
