My ‘book haul‘ for the day... 😍 Thanks to Black Swan Books... 📚 Publication date is only 18 years ago (2000), but the 22kt gold accents on bound leather, put a hurt on my wallet. 😰 So instead of ten books, I left the store with one...LOL This is the Easton Press Collector's Library of Famous Edition. Excellent condition! 🤗 I‘m so happy right now!!! 😋 #poe #thebells #edgarallanpoe

mypoesoul @GarthRanzz He had an 1858 copy of Poe‘s Poetical Works (NY - J.S. Redfield). I usually use eapoe.org for a reference (when getting his older books), but I can only find a particular copy online that is different than the one he had. It was in very good condition with lots of illustrations. I know it has to be extremely rare. He was asking $1000, so I don‘t know if that‘s a steal or too much. It‘s impossible to find, it seems. It was beautiful! 😊 6y
mypoesoul @YouReadMyEyes They always do incredible work! 😊 6y

mypoesoul @JennyBookworm Thanks! I was in the right place at the right time. 😁 6y
mypoesoul @cobwebmoth Thanks! I want to stare at it all night... 😎 6y
mypoesoul @catebutler Thanks! I may keep it under my pillow tonight. ☺️ 6y
GarthRanzz @mypoesoul That almost sounds a bit much even though it is rare. I worry about editions published after his death where they ask that kind of money when I‘ve owned (yes, past tense, don‘t ask) editors published while he was living for so much less. 6y
mypoesoul @GarthRanzz Yeah, it‘s really difficult to tell. eapoe.org usually does a good job of letting you know the ones that may seem too good to be true, and some of those that were ‘over-published‘. I‘d just feel better if I could find it online, so I‘d have something to reference. LOL This was sitting next to a 6 volume set of Bancroft‘s United States that had the same type of binding. I‘m having a hard time finding those too, probably also 1858. 🤔 6y
GarthRanzz Having a reference to go by is good. And I do keep eapoe.org bookmarked. 😊 Its a good site to have. 6y
catebutler @mypoesoul Ha! I think you should! 🤣 6y
