Title: Old book Value Riverside Edition James Russell Lowell 1890 Marblized cover
Post by: icedgold10 on September 12, 2013, 06:29:16 PM: I got this book and it has a very interesting cover for its time period. Says Riverside Edition The Writings of James Russell Lowell in Ten Volumes Volume 1. Literary Essays Houghton, Mifflin and Company. I can't find one with the same cover and binding. Any information would be great. Thank you.

Post by: icedgold10 on September 13, 2013, 02:38:20 AM: I just have this one. I'm going to keep my eyes out to see if more of them surface in the area. I picked it up at a Goodwill store so more may show up.

Look great on shelves.
