Publisher's Binding- Gold Band Titles

Unusual stamping in black and white on mustard cloth of a boy sitting high up in tree branches, reading. Tree leaves stamped in white, bark in black. Tree and branch carry over onto spine, even moving through the gilt stamped title bands. Large gilt corner-clipped rectangular title band placed on a diagonal on the cover. Floral patterned monochromatic endpapers.
