Arlo Bates | A Lad's Love | 1887Description
GREAT BOOK COVER DESIGN, CAMPOBELLO! We'd been looking for several years for an original copy of the 1887 book, A Lad's Love, set on Campobello Island, New Brunswick, to add to our collections. We finally located a copy in New Jersey a month ago and have posted two photos here of its 1887 book cover. What a great design! The book was written by American author, Arlo Bates, and published by Roberts Brothers publishers of Boston. Bates was born in East Machias, Maine and long lived in Boston (working as the editor of the Boston Sunday Courier and then as a professor of English at MIT).
