Just a book club edition of this massive tome, but with a twist: Front flyleaf bears a fine archival decorative-edged bookplate bearing the full bold signature in turquoise fineline of famed Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson biographer Gay Wilson Allen (1903-95), who wrote a biography of William James that Lewis notes in his acknowledgments as "after nearly thirty-five years, by far the chief source of knowledge about his subject's career."
