"The Twisted Tree" by M.& H. Bedford - Jones, designed and printed by S.A.Jacobs at The Stratford Press, copy right, 1929, by American Book Bindery Inc. N.Y. There were 500 copies printed. The pages are thin sheets of wood folded over at the top of the page and folded in the binding to form adjacent pages. The text is only on the right pages as the book lies open. There are 11 and on the inside of page 1 is a sheet of gold leaf?(I think) where there is an image that I cant make out. The cover is tan with a simple print of birds, butterflies and flowers with a strip of white straight down the binding. The book is in good overall condition and scans of the book could be forwarded. Any help would be appreciated.(The story is quite nice) Thank you, Jeff
