Book has some condition issues and is offered as is with wear and tear here and there, minor stains to cardboard-like paperback softcover and corner and edge wear. Front cover torn part way up and down along brown edge binding strip and is very fragile and in danger of tearing completely off so buyer may want to have it repaired.

Roycroft was a group of arts and craft artists founded by Elbert Hubbard in 1895 in East Aurora, New York, often called the Roycrofters movement. They did book printing, and are known for their highly collectible furniture and metal pieces. Elbert Hubbard and his wife died onboard the Lusitania ship. This book would be a wonderful addition to your Roycrofters historical collection, or a great gift for that special collector.
