$50 · 1925 A Book of Clouds by William A. Quayle

A Book of Clouds by William A. Quayle Published in 1925 by The Abingdon Press This 1925 publication is a reflective collection of prose meditations on clouds — approached not from science, but from the perspective of one drawn to their beauty, symbolism, and presence in daily life. William A. Quayle, a Methodist minister and author, brings a gentle, observational lens to the sky. His writing evokes a kind of quiet reverence for nature, weaving in philosophical and poetic reflections as he considers clouds in all their moods and forms. This hardcover copy features gold gilt lettering on cloth boards, with some bumping to the corners and a fair amount of foxing to a number of pages. The binding is sound, and aside from a gift inscription on the front endpaper, the interior is clean and unmarked. 116 pages. A charming and contemplative work that captures a slower way of seeing the natural world — one that invites pause and attention to what drifts above us every day. Happy to discuss shipping options!
