I’ve had this book for a few years and I cannot find any trace of it online. It’s called “The Trail: A collection of poems on the out-of-doors” by J. A. Hart 1932. It looks kind of homemade but also very professional. It’s printed like a book and has glossy pages with pictures of nature and poetic quotes under neath. The cover is thicker than a paper back but definitely not a hard back. It’s almost a cross between cardboard and leather? The cover is an engraved drawing of trees, hills, and the moon with “The Trail” on the bottom and it’s all traced with silver paint. All the poems are credited to their authors but the photos have no locations or dates and I cannot find any information whatsoever. Even if it is just some self published book or homemade collection I’d love to find out any information possible!
Poetry books can sometime be printed in extremely small numbers, by local printers, with basically no trappings of regular publishers. Think “local poet ran off fifty copies of their slim volume, and sold them for fifty cents from the counter of their country store.” I’ve encountered some before, although this looks much nicer. It was definitely possible to get a local print shop to do this sort of thing; now there are websites that handle it.
