Hi I got up this morning and decided to rummage in the box of books I think might be worth something that came out of my parents house....I have been wondering about this book and what to do with it for ages. I have looked at Addal and ordinary copies seem to be selling for about $100 to $150 - but ....
It is a book called Memorials of Edward Burne Jones - written by Georgina Burne Jones - his wife - 1906 US edition in one volume - in fairly average sort of condition. Inside it is signed in pencil From g Burne-Jones oc 31 1907 Rottingdean. Also inside is a small postcard with the following inscription:
Ps to letter - Which was already closed when I received a note from my daughter, saying she had, at my request, posted to you a book which may possibly arrive before this. It is a copy of an American edition of the Memorials of my husband, in one volume, which I hope you will keep. There are no illustrations in it, I think, except the small reproductions of pen & ink drawing which are printed together with the type. The reason of this is that the larger ones were so badly done that I tore them out. This does not affect the text however in any way. GBJ.
And sure enough - there aren't!!
What do I do with it? What's it worth? It's in sort of ok condition with some foxing to the inside of the covers.....
