Oscar Wilde: The Works of Oscar Wilde

This is a 1927 edition of the Works of Oscar Wilde from publisher Walter J. Black, Inc, of New York. I found this in a thrift shop at the Jersey shore and it sold for pennies on the dollar. I wholly endorse ebooks. As a result, when I choose to buy a physical book, I prefer to buy one with a history. It should be noted that there is no great value assigned to this particular edition; its value is strictly in the worth of Wilde's text alone -- but the art nouveau design is not something we see anymore.

Also, this was a bargain as it also came with a decades old crushed ladybug on the inside for good luck.
