Gorgeous Color Illustrations by Harrison Fisher

MERRILL, 1909
THE
VOLUME: A very
handsome-looking book inside and out (when in good condition).
The five color illustrations are just exceptionally beautiful.
There are scads of pen and ink illustrations throughout by
artist Mayo Bunker. They added tremendously to my own enjoyment
of the story. One meets a new illustration about every third
page.
THIS
DUSTJACKET: A
NEW FACSIMILE copy
of the very scarce jacket with Harrison Fisher artwork, which
sold with this edition. This is my very favorite Harrison
Fisher dust jacket. If you look closely, you will note
that it gives you a more detailed and expanded view of the
book's frontispiece illustration. Without it, one is missing a
bit of the original illustration. It also was unique in another
way. What appears as a gold, metallic background in my facsimile
dust jacket—actually was metallic ink on the
original. I took the best, least scarred area on that jacket and
used it to build my gold background, so it would retain some of
the qualities of the original metal.
Another
rather fun bonus is the circular illustration by Howard Chandler
Christy on the rear panel of the dust jacket.
This
facsimile was made from a scan of an original in very good
condition, printed on one sheet of acid-free paper by an
archival inkjet printer (80 yr. inks), and preserved in archival
plastic. It comes with a matching bookmark.
THE
STORY: This is a VERY FUN read. My
husband and I read it aloud and did a lot of laughing. There is
a mystery in the story. A group of friends are quarantined
together for seven days, during which the main character is
pretending to be the wife of one man, while falling in love with
another. It began as a very successful play originally called
“Seven Days,” which was a great hit and another wonderful
example of the wit and cleverness of its author, Mary Roberts
Rinehart.
Each Dust
Jacket costs $12.00 and comes with a complimentary matching
bookmark and protective cover. (Price is reduced to $10.00 when
three or more djs are ordered.)
