<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 2868160, member: 33"]Interesting -- I found a couple of presentation copies, with personal notes, listed for sale online, along with an earlier mention in Google Books of a copy in which Norman Gale wrote a personal note that sounds the same as a note described in another listing. He mentioned that Flight of Fancies was his Swan Song, as he was planning to switch from poetry to prose. It sounds like he was somebody who cared enough to write personal notes to his friends, and perhaps even to acquaintances. From what I can tell, the book was either self published or was published by a small press. Does your copy have a publisher listed?</p><p><br /></p><p>Given that there were probably not many copies printed, that would mean that it is scarce.
