Just received a book I ordered on eBay. It is a collection of short stories by Rudyard Kipling that was printed while he was still alive (1910). I know the meaning has changed since then, but still a bit of a shock to find that the flyleaf is printed with Kipling's signature and a swastika! And the cover is embossed with a gold leaf picture of an elephant and another swastika.
