Silverado-Sellers Offers You:

" BITS OF VERSE FROM HAWAII"  This very special, and very rare book, is the "Princess Edition" of only 100 copies ever made.  The cover is soft, tan leather, and the endpapers are of dark lavender silk moire.  The book is a collection of approximately 130 poems and verse related to Hawaii, collected by Charles Dana Wright.  Although many contributed individual pieces to this book, multiple contributions are noted from Robert Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain, Maurice McMahon, H.M. Ayers, and Mary Dillingham Frear.  It is uncertain if some of these have never been published elsewhere.  Undated and without publisher's name, we've done some research and believe it was published in Polynesia in 1915.  Some editions, less scarce, came in tapa cloth or paper covers. It has Pictures on tissue paper throughout of Hawaiian royalty and places at the turn of the century. This may be a one time chance to own this highly collectable item.  

The binding and pages are fully intact.  There are no problems.  the exterior has some smudging and wear consistent with age, but is generally clean and sound.  The interior is clean and sound as well - NO marks of any kind, but pages have yellowed slightly with age.  A remarkable find!
