	HARPER, ELLA ADELAIDE A Face in a Crowd and Other Stories New York, Privately Printed, 1893, Limited Edition. Half-Leather, Very Good/No DJ, as Issued, What an exquisite little book this and with what interesting provenance. Book is finely bound in half leather with marbleized boards and matching marbled endpapers in green and gold. Spine has raised bands and crisp gilt letterring. Top edge of pages is also gilded. Tightly bound and clean as a whistle. A collection of short stories published privately by the author's mother as a remembrance. Ella Harper, who also wrote under the name Ruella Lennox, was the sister of the socially prominent rare book dealer, Lathrop C. Harper of Gramercy Park, New York, whose many photographs are owned now by the New York Historical Society. Harper was an expert on incunabula, Americana, and medieval manuscripts and helped form what is today the core of the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Inside the book on the first blank page a note typed on Lathrop C. Harper's personal stationery has been tipped in (showing the 8 West 40th Street address -- his business moved several times.) It reads, " For Deisher, A book of short stories written by Mr. Harper's sister. Published in Wavelery and other magazines of the time. After her death, collected and privately printed by her family. Written in the leisurely style of the day, but show something of the author's lovely character. And from her pictures she must have been very beautiful. Unfortunately died quite young. As you are interested in privately printed books, I thought you might care for this one from the Harper family." Beneath is a very, very tiny back-sloping signaturare, the last name of which is Harper. The other two names cannot be read, but do not appear to be Layton's. Altogether a lovely little volume in excellent condition for which we are seeking a collector who will preserve it.

	HARPER, ELLA ADELAIDE A Face in a Crowd and Other Stories New York, Privately Printed, 1893, Limited Edition. Half-Leather, Very Good/No DJ, as Issued, What an exquisite little book this and with what interesting provenance. Book is finely bound in half leather with marbleized boards and matching marbled endpapers in green and gold. Spine has raised bands and crisp gilt letterring. Top edge of pages is also gilded. Tightly bound and clean as a whistle. A collection of short stories published privately by the author's mother as a remembrance. Ella Harper, who also wrote under the name Ruella Lennox, was the sister of the socially prominent rare book dealer, Lathrop C. Harper of Gramercy Park, New York, whose many photographs are owned now by the New York Historical Society. Harper was an expert on incunabula, Americana, and medieval manuscripts and helped form what is today the core of the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Inside the book on the first blank page a note typed on Lathrop C. Harper's personal stationery has been tipped in (showing the 8 West 40th Street address -- his business moved several times.) It reads, " For Deisher, A book of short stories written by Mr. Harper's sister. Published in Wavelery and other magazines of the time. After her death, collected and privately printed by her family. Written in the leisurely style of the day, but show something of the author's lovely character. And from her pictures she must have been very beautiful. Unfortunately died quite young. As you are interested in privately printed books, I thought you might care for this one from the Harper family." Beneath is a very, very tiny back-sloping signaturare, the last name of which is Harper. The other two names cannot be read, but do not appear to be Layton's. Altogether a lovely little volume in excellent condition for which we are seeking a collector who will preserve it.
