SHADES OF BLUE.
New York: Henry Harrison, 1927. Henry E. Fouts:. Hardcover. Large octavo. Silver on blue cloth. Printed in blue. Six silver and blue tipped-in art deco plates. Endsheets slightly tanned, else near fine in very good, lightly chipped silver foil and navy blue pictorial dust jacket by Fouts.
First edition. A first book of verse by the author - and she really shouldn't have bothered - but the six tipped-in art deco plates by Fouts, printed in blue on metallic silver finish paper and the occasional vignettes in deep blue scattered throughout, and a full page image at the conclusion of the text make this effort more than worth the bother. Uncommon in dust jacket, and the poetry is really hilarious. Near Fine / Very Good. Item #000118
