(Ipswich, MA): Privately Printed , 1908. One of my favorite old-time customers was artist Leonard Baskin. Every time he'd see me, he'd ask if I'd found him a copy of Arthur Wesley Dow's "By Salt Marshes?" He reckoned that, since I lived near those very marshes, I might find a copy at a yard sale for $5 and sell it to him for $10. But even back then we both knew it was a book of legendary rarity.
