Thread Name: Milton from Portland

Just got back from a conference in Portland Maine. Spent much of yesterday browsing through four decently-stocked used bookstores. Book Traders, Cunninghams, Carlson Turner and particularly Yes Books (the most quirky and interesting of the lot) all had some nice MLs in DJ (including some less common titles).

I did find a copy of Milton's 'Complete Poetry and Selected Prose' (132.3) in a late 60s binding (14) and redesigned DJ. The DJ has Milton's name in gothic type, with an illuminated manuscript-like design around the 'M'. I guess I would call it a P dust jacket. This particular Dj variant is not noted in the Toledano Guide (it only lists the earlier T Dj).

Yeah, that is one gorgeous dust jacket. It's in the taller format with the Fujita design - a lovely book with wonderful content. Took me forever to find a copy!

Nice score, John!
