Rowwwr!
A couple of pleasingly odd bindings turned up on eBay today. The first is "tiger stripe" patterned paper on an 1892 volume of Dante:
The second is a Paul Laurence Dunbar collection with a paper label atop decorated paisley cloth. Paper labels aren't unusual, and even a large decorated paper label isn't entirely unknown; paisley cloth isn't unusual...
But the two together?.... That's unusual.
