* An attractive book, with its tiny condition faults a child of its time, not a loveless modern reprint. This Victorian 'Book of Friendship' has recently been reproduced twice in the U.S.A., one even uglier than the other: it 'may have imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc.' according to one of the sellers. Argh! Book haters. I much prefer a few honorable stains to a poorly made new copy.
