Yes they are. I have a first edition of a John Galsworthy poetry book, which was published sometime during the early 1930s – that has deckled edges.

I wonder if there are any posters online from the play, I’ll have a look. Really curious. I’m a big fan of the story, obviously.

I’ve never seen such edges before. I initially thought that something might be wrong with my copy, even though I liked it this way. A person on Twitter said that such edge is popular with American publishers (and my copy was indeed published in the US).

I’m really curious about your books with real deckled edges. What are the titles? They must be really old, right?

This has also been made into a successful play, which I wish I’d seen when Matt Smith of Dr Who fame was starring in the National Youth Theatre production way back when…

I’ve read this book, from the library, quite a long time ago. I’ll add it to the ‘books I read ages ago and need to read again’ pile πŸ˜‰

Nope. It’s new to me. On the list for a splurge after the next pay day

You are welcome! It will be fun if you read it one day. I will feel very happy that it was my blog that helped you discover the book.

This one (I have one more) loves everything paper, so yes, he loves helping out with book photos too. Have you ever heard about this book (or maybe even read it)?
