Publishers' Binding Thursday

This Publishers' Binding Thursday we've got a lovely Midwestern book to share. It is A Daughter of the Middle Border by Wisconsin poet, novelist, and short story writer Hamlin Garland. The book is the sequel to Garland's autobiography A Son of the Middle Border and continues his story as he sets out for Chicago and settles into a Bohemian encampment of artists and writers where he meets his wife, the artist Zulime Taft. A Daughter of the Middle Border won the 1922 Pulitzer Prize for biography or autobiography.

The binding features a scene of a covered wagon at sunset, pulled by what appear to be horses. There is also an ox following the wagon. The title and author's name are printed in red and there is a red border around the front cover. As you can see in the first image shown here, our copy has some damage to the spine that I will be mending with methyl cellulose. We use methyl cellulose for many small in-house repairs needed for things like loose spines because it is stable, non-acidic, and water soluble.

to wait and mark it the other way

        This was the 3d of May, and formed one of the most joyous experiences of the year. The field’s broad acres lay out beautifully smooth and brown and warm after the final crossing of the harrow. Mr. Stewart rode cross it with the “marker” (a contrivance resembling a four-runnered sleigh), leaving the mellow soil lined with little furrows about four feet apart. The earth was now ready for the seed, for it was the custom of the best farmers to wait and mark it the other way, just ahead of the droppers, in order that the grain should fall into moist earth.       In those days the corn was still planted by hand and covered with a hoe. Lincoln, who had been helping to make the garden, to rake up the yard, to clip vines, and to set onions, was tired of “puttering,” and eager to drop corn. “You’ll have enough of it before Saturday night,” said his father. Mr. Stewart was a lover of corn, and had set aside a larger field than any of his neighbors.

In all camps there are many men not acquainted with books. My aim has been to introduce them to some of our best writers, knowing that friendship and liking would soon follow. The work has been a pleasant one, made doubly so because of the willing co-operation given me by the distinguished authors whose stories are contained herein; and by the equally generous response which the various publishers have made to my requests. It was not done for me, but for the purpose of the compilation. To authors and publishers I hereby express my gratitude.
