Book excerpt: The Poetry Bookshop 1912-1935 a bibliography continues the author's interest in smaller British publishing houses of the first half of the century. Founded in December 1912 in London by Harold Monro and remaining in business until 1935, the Poetry Bookshop was one of the most important of these smaller houses, publishing books by Robert Graves, Richard Aldington, Ford Madox Hueffer, F.S. Flint, Eleanor Farjeon, and others, as well as the popular and important series of anthologies, Georgian Poetry. It also published three series of rhyme sheets, two periodicals, and several series of Christmas cards, most of them with color illustrations by well-known illustrators, as well as maintaining an open bookshop that carried the poetical works of other British publishers.
