Currently crying because I can't find cool vintage 80s patterns that fit me. Particularly the one pictured here doesn't fit me in any that survive and I am sad

Publishers’ Binding Thursday

This week’s publishers’ binding continues with the summer theme we’ve had this week. It is The Keeper of the Bees by Indiana author, photographer, and naturalist Gene Stratton-Porter (1863-1924). The Keeper of the Bees was published in 1925 by The McCall Company, publishers of McCall’s Magazine (which Stratton-Porter also wrote for) and printed at The Country Life Press in Garden City, N.Y.

The book features some lovely floral decoration printed on the initial pages of the book, as well as on the endpapers. The decorations are by Lee Thayer (1874-1973), an artist and author of mystery novels. The illustrations of the text are by artist Gordon Grant (1875-1962). The book from front to back is just lovely!
