Their bookplates adorn the inside covers, will your bookplate be next?

Located in Middletown, NY
Handsome Riviere Sangorsky & Stucliffe binding of the plays by the author of the beloved Peter Pan.
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1947.
8vo, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches (215 x140 mm); pp. xii, 1272. Binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe (stamped in gold at the bottom of front turn-in) in blue crushed morocco with gilt fillets on covers and turn-ins, title in gilt, five raised bands with gilt outlined compartments, striped head and tail bands, a.e.g.
—Cutler 93
A lush volume containing most of J. M. Barrie's (1860-1937) plays, 26 out of the 38 he wrote, of which 12 are one-act plays. This work was reprinted several times from its first issue in 1928, attesting to the popularity of his works for the theater, many of which discuss social concerns. The Twelve Pound Look (1910) concerns a wife leaving her 'typical' husband once she can gain an independent income. Other plays, such as Mary Rose (1920) and Dear Brutus (1917), revisit the idea of the ageless child and parallel worlds. However, Barrie's most lasting fame comes from creating PETER PAN, which is included in this volume, and had its first performance at the Duke of York Theatre in 1904. In 1911 Barrie would develop the play into a novel "Peter and Wendy...
