Rebound by the famous Bennett Book Studios of New York City, the mark of which is stamped on the inside fly leaf (see pictures). From the Lilly Library: “The Bennett Book Studios of New York City was established in the late 1920s by bookman and binder Whitman Bennett (b. 1884 in Cambridge, MA; d. 1968 in New York). The business sold rare books, particularly first editions and sets of American and English literature classics, and also operated as a fine bindery. Bennett Studios was known for crafting fine leather bindings, and the term "Bennett copy" arose in the book trade to refer to the binder's work in upgrading a second or third issue text with a first edition binding.”
