Bronte poem variant bindings

I'm trying to sort out the variant bindings on the Brontes' Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. According to all the info I've been able to find, below is the probable order of the bindings (the images below are from Parrish: Victorian Lady Novelists (Burt Franklin NY, 1933 -repr. 1969). The info is based on this, and note 25, Binding Variants in the Brontes' Poems, pp. 219-221 Book Collector (Autumn 1953)

These geometric designs are likely the original bindings used by Aylott and Jones (the company the Brontes paid to publish their book in 1846.) Only 2 or 3 copies sold.

After the success of Jane Eyre published by Smith Elder in 1848, Smith Elder acquired the remainder of the Poems stock from Aylott for reissue. It is possible that any copies with the geometric design as above plus inserted Smith Elder title pages date from this Jane Eyre period.

In the 1850s, after Charlotte's death, her biography by Elizabeth Gaskell appeared and sales of the Poems took off. The next two bindings may date from this period:

Interestingly, the one on the right appears to be relatively uncommon and is only known with an Aylott title page. The one on the left is the most common version.

Here at the State Library of NSW in Sydney, we have two copies in the Mitchell collection, as pictured below. It's the light green decorative binding on the right which I'm most interested in.

What I would like to know is, if you have a copy of Poems, which binding do you have and what do you know about it, if anything - particular which publisher title page appears with which binding??

LibraryThing

This 'week' includes LibraryThing, which I'm happy about, because I'd forgotten that I signed up and started using it at the beginning of the year. I thought it would be a good way of keeping track of the book series I collect. So, I've entered my whole collection of King Penguin books, and I even had a comment from another collector! It is good fun and a great way for me to keep a record of my own collection, including where I bought the books and what I paid, but again, yet another website to keep on top of, log in to etc. Am I really this focussed and organised? I'm not sure yet, but I suspect not...

Jeanette Winterson at writers' fest

Am inspired by the opening address of the Sydney Writers' Festival. Jeanette Winterson (picture from SWF site) spoke at the Opera House tonight about the importance of creativity to all of our lives. Some points I remember (I wasn't quite anal enough to take notes):

• That record-keeping is really art which creates history - the first histories were songs, poems, paintings, passed from generation to generation;


• That there is more to life than going to work and shopping - we need to remember to seek enjoyment in the art of nature;


• And how her mother always said, 'the thing about a book is, you never know what you're going to get until it's too late.'

She also said many, many more deep and meaningful things and said them with such passion, that she made me feel like I should go out and try to do something beautiful, like learn to paint, or write poetry or at least try to take more time to stop and smell the roses.
Is blogging art?
