Found a 1944 edition of this on the bookshelf of my in-laws. It's 2nd hand, marked $1.50 inside. And it's filled with pencil notes in a script of days gone by. A slightly shaky hand where few lines are . Every author's name has a birthdate next to it, for example. I am enjoying both the poems and the notes.

This is one of my most cherished books. I've had it since high school. My sister gave it to me for Christmas one year.
