Byron?!?!?!?!?!?  Surely you jest.

Having said that, one of my favorite books of poetry is a slim volume of
Byron, beutifully bound and set, with the stamp of "W.H Smith, English
Bookseller, Paris" on the inner cover, and inscribed "To Enid from
Winifred, Jan. 11th, 1906" in a very fine hand indeed.  It is favored
for the packaging, not the content. Maybe I should try again; I found
the verse occasionally amusing but generally forgettable.
