Red cloth over beveled boards, gilt decoration of leaf on front and lettering to front and spine, all edges gilt, frontispiece portrait of author with facsimile signature (protected by glassine). ; 5" x 7"; xii, 231 pp; Early presswork by Bruce Brough, who later worked with John Henry Nash and was later a part of the Paul Elder Tomoye Press. An eventful publication as well, for the commission was received before the Earthquake. The author writes in her preface: "Autumn Leaves was in the hands of the publisher (Bruce Brough) at the time of the Great Fire of April, 1906, and not a single page of the original manuscript was saved. I could ony recall a few titles, and a line or two here and there, not knowing though where they belonged. I began to rewrite on the 12th of June, 1908, and on the 12th of September, 1908, it was ready for publication." She writes at the end: "My 'Autumn Leaves' are gathered, And now they must be pressed. I hope they will give pleasure, And hearts by them be blessed." ; Cloth lightly worn at tips, slightly soiled. Pages clean and free of tears or writing. .
