The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam:
~1930s De Luxe Editions Sullivan
Plain Rubaiyat copy with an orangish board cover. Interior is nothing new compared to other similar Edmund J. Sullivan editions. It is a large size compared to other Rubaiyat editions.
Not sure if there’s any relation to this ‘De Luxe Edition’ from Garden City Books, they don’t seem to share anything. It might just be because of the size of the copy.
The interior looks basically the same as the other Edmund J. Sullivan copies on the website. Type, content, etc. This Three Sirens Press one especially serves as a good comparison.
Update 12/2024: Updated title and dating to reflect new standards.
Publisher: De Luxe Editions
Year: n.d., 1930s est. based on inscription (though, it could be 20s I can't tell)

The Book Itself
Orangish peach board cover, mildly shiny spine.
The Poetry
Same type as other editions…nothing new to say.
The Illustrations
What else can I say about Edmund J. Sullivan that I haven’t already said? His artwork is wonderfully bizarre!
