"On my bed at night there is a copy of Shakespeare, a copy of Chaucer, an automatic pistol and a black muslin fan. This is my whole little world."

— Katherine Mansfield, from a letter to Ottoline Morrell (May 1921)

1935 “copyright edition” of Journal of Katherine Mansfield, published by The Albatross Press.   I love the stern “not to be introduced into the British Empire or the U.S.A.” printed in small lettering.   … One of several little odds and ends I picked up last weekend at the San Francisco Public Library’s annual Big Book Sale that I plan to scan and post soon.
