I am new to this forum and trying to find info on a book that I purchased at an estate sale. Has anyone heard of this book: Songs of Innocence and Experience: Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul? It is number 212 of 915 and signed by an artist. Thanks for any help

Sure, it's poems by William Blake. Are the images photographs? Based on the number of copies, it sounds like this edition.

That's it Lilithcat! Crazy it selling for that much. I paid 60 for it and 15 other Folio Society books. Do you know of a proper site or forum on here to sell it? Trying to help pay off school loan.

Razzamajazz what do you mean by plates?

Thanks everyone
