Three early 20th-century hardcovers: "Kidnapped in the Jungle" by Hugh Lloyd (Grosset & Dunlap, 1936), a boys' adventure mystery illustrated by E. S. Hodgson; "Crowned Masterpieces of Modern Fiction: The Autocrats" (P. F. Collier & Son, 1905) with marbled boards and classic illustrations; and "The Weavers: A Tale of England and Egypt" by Gilbert Parker (Harper & Brothers, 1907), featuring gilt stamping and illustrated frontispiece.
