George Sterling Lilith: A Dramatic Poem
San Francisco Book Club of California 1920 Hardcover Collectible: Very Good Hardcover
LIMITED EDITION of 350 copies, this is number 309, printed by Taylor & Taylor (Edward Dewitt & Henry H. Taylor), in handset Caslon Old Style on handmade paper. Small 4to. 8 7/8 x 6 inches. [vi], (77), 1 pp. Title-page vignette, plus an additional vignette at the head of the text; text clean, un-marked. Quarter red cloth, patterned paper over boards, gilt-stamped spine; binding square and tight, minor shelf wear. Very Good. Lilith was considered by many to be George Sterling's best sustained work. It was originally published in San Francisco in 1919, but the first printing was so wretched that the Club re-issued the book with corrected text and a handsome, lasting format. George Sterling was among the circle of artists that revolved around the Bohemian Club and was considered by many in California to the best poet in the United States in the early twentieth century. Reference: Magee, The Hundredth Book, No. 12.
