Burne, S. Wynne. (pseud. Stanley Collins). Anthology of Love Poems. London: Kent & Surrey, [1929]. From an unstated limited edition with instructions. Textured brown boards, deckled edges and untrimmed pages. Medium 8vo. Bowed boards, rubbed edges, darkened joints, bumped corners, pencil annotation to front endpaper, and slight smudges to front panel. Very good. Collins produced his Anthology of Love Poems in 1929, printing a limited quantity of the special ?forcing? book ? which allows the performer to force various words on unsuspecting readers ? with the name ?S. Wynne Burne? printed as compiler, a play on the name Swinburne. Citing Robert Lund, Thomas Sawyer wrote in Aphelion N7 that approximately 100 copies of this edition were printed.
