I suppose one of the treatises was printed in 1631, or was it an old blank in a printing house?

We all know Phantom Of The Opera but have you heard about The Kiss That Killed? It’s about vampires, mass murder, love triangles, a serial killer! Topics we all know and love. Worn jacket but nothing too invasive to the art or spine, acceptable amount of wear but on the bright side it’s not price clipped. The book itself also has a story of adventures on its own.

Disclaimer the typed paper is laid in, it’s a book dealers catalog description from a book dealer previous to the one I purchased it from. I assume It’s still there to explain the inscription provenance details. So it feels natural to include it as a whole with the book and check. Harre has multiple titles of published Macaulay books, 5 that I know of he’s an author.
