This antique book, 'Hollyhocks and Goldenglow', was published by Elbert Hubbard in 1912. The tooled leather cover gives it a classic and elegant look. The book is in acceptable condition. There's moderate soiling and wear on the cover and edges, with rubbing and scuffing on the edges, rounded corners, and spine ends. The text block has gilding on the top edge, while the forward and bottom edges show some darkening. There's a book - plate from the previous owner on the front pastedown. The portrait of the author near the title page and the ink - block illustrations are in good condition. The binding is firm, and the pages are clean.

This antique book is a great addition to your collection. You can enjoy reading it at your leisure, or display it on your bookshelf to add a touch of elegance. When handling the book, make sure your hands are clean to avoid further soiling. Don't bend the cover or pages too forcefully to keep the binding firm. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather cover from drying out and the pages from yellowing. If you notice any dust on the book, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
