The Short Stories of Henry James
Stefan Salter, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
Many are the omnibus volumes with thin paper and scant margins. Here is one which, while perhaps a little too fat, permits us gracious margins, opaque paper, and a distinguished title page and frontispiece spread. The presswork and folding, however, fall well below the standard otherwise set by this book.
