    Sorry for photos in the store now wifi spotty.
    This is odd thick papers with impressions in paper. Should I buy this?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    There are some selling online for less than $5. You don't say what the asking price is but I would say to buy it only if you want to keep it or give it as a gift.

    Elbert Hubbard started Roycroft.
    Prolific writer, I've never done well with his books.

    We found out Elbert Hubbard made "limited" editions of a Roycroft book more than once. They never caught up with him since he went down with the Lusitania. The books that do well are the custom leather bound books done at the shop by master binders, like John Grabau or Louis Kinder. I think if you saw this for sale at the right price you wouldn't hesitate. kinder.jpg
