NOTE from Don: Along with Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment books, Full Bloom is my other set of books that I would hope to have on a deserted island, because there is enough creativity in these two volumes to keep me thinking for a very long time.

Former owner pasted pictures inside, as well as a colored label on the spine.  There may also be underlining of names throughout.
