Hardbound. Good. Gift books in the Victorian era were usually literary annuals or keepsakes, often lavishly decorated, which collected essays, short fiction, and poetry.

But it is quite clear that they were then passed about within a family or neighborhood, and were read avidly. Their influence on the taste and attitudes of women in the mid-Victorian era cannot be over-estimated. AI BX 8
