LA Bantam - Favorite Poems

The 8th book published by Bantam Publications is Favorite Poems: A Selection of Popular Poems from the World's Literature compiled by Henry C. Brown. This appears to be an original collection.

In common with all but one of LA Bantam's books Favorite Poems is 100 pages long and is 110 mm (4 5/16") wide by 152 mm (6") tall. Cover and pages are made from high acid pulp paper. The page collation is:

[1] title page,
[2] alphabetic list of 79 poems,
3-100 Favorite Poems.

The copyright date, 1940, is on the contents page. The book was registered in the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries on July 1, 1940. The back cover is an advertisement for Bantam Books.

The strong yellowish green/light blue cover shown below is the only one of which I'm aware.
