The Wind in the WillowsOne of the best known classics of children's literature, a timeless masterpiece and a vital portrait of an age, The Wind in the Willows began originally in Kenneth Grahame's letters to his young son, where he first recounted the adventures of Rat and Badger, of Mole and Toad all narrated in virtuoso language ranging from lively parody to elaborate fin de siecle mysticism. Yet for a children's book, it is concerned almost exclusively with adult themes:
One of the best-known classics of children's literature, a timeless masterpiece and a vital portrait of an age, The Wind in the Willows began originally in Kenneth Grahame's letters to his young son, where he first recounted the adventures of Rat and Badger, of Mole and Toad--all narrated in virtuoso language ranging from lively parody to elaborate fin-de-siecle mysticism. Yet for a children's book, it is concerned almost exclusively with adult themes: fear of radical changes in political, social, and economic power. This new edition considers this conundrum and provides a wealth of fascinating contextual information about the book's author and its historical, cultural, and literary significance. The Introduction by Peter Hunt, one of the foremost scholars of children's literature, focuses on the book's status as a classic, and as both a self-portrait of Kenneth Grahame's psyche and a portrait of an age. Reproducing the text of the first British edition, the book includes explanatory notes that shed light on the sources of the book--biographical, psychological, geographical, and literary--and an up-to-date bibliography.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Perfect Repair
Color: Cherry, Size: 2.4"x 15ft
We purchased a used secretary with hutch, and it had some damage on the veneered decoration on the hutch doors. I discovered this product and ordered the closest match I could find. It was easy to cut to fit and the price was amazing. It looks so good that you could not easily find the repair and I am very happy.

Professional look overall
Color: Birch, Size: 1/2"x 25ft
Installing the edging worked best with a heat gun vs a blow dryer, Adhesive was average, some areas adhered well while some spots kept lifting.
The areas where the edging is connected to create the continuous link are very visible and will not blend well when painted. I had more waste by trying to avoid these sections.
The edging is easy to cut. I used 220 sand paper to blend the areas where the edging was too wide for the project edge after trimming. Be careful not to over sand the edging. I found both the 1/2 in and 3/4 in are both wider than 1/2 in and 3/4 in plywood. Expect extra time to trim the excess.
The edging is flexible and easy to use when working with curved edges.
Overall, the edging still gave my projects a professional look.

A Good Solution for Rough Edges of Wood.
Color: Birch, Size: 1"x 25ft, Color: Birch, Size: 1"x 25ft
This is a great product. We needed to recover the booth in our motorhome because the faux leather is peeling. The booth is made of plywood and has rough edges. We opted to cover the booth with heavy wallpaper, but needed something to cover the rough edges. This product is really affordable and very easy to use. It adheres pretty well. We had planned on painting the wood veneer edging, but we decided that the wood tone fit right in with the rest of the trim in the motorhome so we left it raw. While I bought 1" because that is mostly what we needed, some other areas were only 3/4" wide. It was so easy to run an Exacto knife along the extra edge and trim it smoothly.
